Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 542

"Do you know who sent those people?" Shaun asked.

Lindsey shook her head. "I don't know...that’s why I’m so flustered."

Shaun just thought that Lindsey certainly did not talk to Zayn. He was sure that Zayn would investigate who was behind this after knowing about it.

"Leave this to me." Shaun returned to his senses. "Go back first. Dezi will be fine. You should be more alert."

Lindsey always had confidence in Shaun and left with her heart at ease. Shaun took out his phone and spun it around. He first arranged for someone to protect Dezi, then he hooked up his lips as he lingered on Zayn's number.

While Shaun was still deciding if he should make this call, his phone rang first.

It was Zayn Guggenheim!

For the first time, Shaun felt that Zayn could read his mind. Shaun let his phone ring a few times to test Zayn's patience and only picked up the call right before Zayn hung up. "Mr. Guggenheim, do you need something?"

"Yes." Zayn gave a short reply and did not care for pleasantries. He went straight to the point. "Arthur Evans. Does this name sound familiar to you?"

Shaun did not expect Zayn to ask him this question that was so far off from what he expected. He froze for a moment before he replied, "Yes. He's from Denmark and he's interested in working with Hemera. Why?"

Zayn's tone was so serious that Shaun unconsciously became serious as well.

Unexpectedly, Zayn dropped a bomb on him. "The people who followed Dezi and Lindsey yesterday were working for him."

Usually, if Shaun heard Zayn talking about Lindsey, he would try to irritate his business rival, but today, that was not the focus. He knitted his brows and said in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

Zayn's voice was slightly sarcastic. "It’s up to you whether to believe it or not." Before Shaun replied, Zayn added, "My people are watching the kindergarten, so withdraw your men."

After that, Zayn just hung up.

Shaun was still confused and did not care about Zayn’s bad habit of hanging up the phone without a warning. Naturally, he also ignored Zayn’s orders to withdraw his men.

Why would the rich businessman who asked to cooperate with him find someone to follow Dezi?

In view of Shaun’s past relationship with Zayn, Shaun had reason to believe that Zayn was lying to him. However, Shaun did not doubt Zayn at all, not just because of Zayn’s serious tone, but because this involved Dezi and Lindsey, so Zayn would never do that. Somehow, Shaun just felt that he had blind confidence in Zayn.

Moreover, Zayn did not need to lie about this matter.

Zayn probably found the person that was following Dezi belonged to Arthur, then followed the lead and found out that Arthur wanted to cooperate with him, which was why Zayn made this sudden call.

Shaun rubbed his temples and felt conflicted.

The assistant was close to tears. She was a young girl that had just graduated from college, so she did not have much experience. Lindsey heard this and was stunned.

There was a booth for Hemera’s products at the Halifax Tower. Lindsey had set up a booth there previously for the product launch. As the person in charge of this project, Lindsey had to think of countermeasures.

"Don't panic yet. Come with me to the hospital." Lindsey took her jacket and bag, then walked outside while she gave Mrs. Wendy a call.

"Aunt Wendy, it's me. I might have to work overtime today. Yeah, I'll be back later. Don't worry. It's okay. Can you please pick Dezi up? Take Sieben with you too. I'm fine, mm, okay."

The assistant saw Lindsey walking briskly in her 3-inch heels while talking on the phone. Lindsey’s face was not red nor was she panting. Her eyes were also calm. The assistant’s admiration for Lindsey deepened and was inexplicably not so panicked anymore.

The relevant departments in Hemera had gotten the news as well. Soon, several people rushed to the hospital with Lindsey while several others went to the site of the accident.

The reporters were like vultures. In just half an hour, this news spread quickly and Hemera’s external phone was exploding with calls. Shaun was so busy that he forgot to take his phone from the table.

Lindsey and her assistant got out of the car and ran to the door of the operating room.

The doctor was operating inside and they heard that the employee suffered some head trauma and was bleeding at that time. They did not know how severe it was and they hoped that this employee could survive.

"Excuse me, how is the person inside?" Lindsey pulled a nurse and asked while panting.
