Chapter 31 Kaneeta was completely baffled . Why would Atticus talk to Woodrow about her ? Could it be that he saw some gossip news and misunderstood ? " How are you ? " Woodrow asked . " I … " Before Kaneeta could answer , Edmund stood up and positioned himself between her and Woodrow . " Thank you for your concern , Mr. Hartwell , " Edmund said with a forced smile . " My wife is fine ." Woodrow looked at Edmund coldly , as if he were an eyesore . " Your wife ? " he asked in a frosty tone . " Yes , Mr. Hartwell , perhaps you didn't know ? Neeta is not just my secretary , she's also my … " " Edmund ! " Kaneeta snapped , " I've made it clear to you - we've broken up ! " She couldn't stand Edmund pretending in front of others that she was his wife , no matter who the other person was . " Neeta , you're making a scene again , " Edmund said helplessly , rubbing his brow . " Sorry , Mr. Hartwell , Neeta and I have had a little spat recently , so that's why … " " Mr. Kuntz , " Woodrow interrupted him , " I'm here today to see Ms. Drayton , not you ." " But I'm Neeta's husband , " Edmund replied with a provocative smile . " A married couple is one , Mr. Hartwell - haven't you heard ? " He could see it now - this Woodrow definitely had feelings for Kaneeta . Damn it , how dare he covet his woman ? " Edmund , stop talking nonsense … " Kaneeta was furious . She stood up , wanting to push Edmund away , but moved too quickly . A wave of dizziness hit her , and she lost control , falling backward . Woodrow's pupils contracted sharply . He shoved Edmund aside and reached out to steady Kaneeta by the arm . " Are you alright ? " There was tension in his voice . Pushed aside , Edmund's anger flared instantly . He was about to lash out when a middle - aged man's voice rang out : " Neeta , are you alright ? " Immediately after , a middle - aged man rushed to the bedside . This man was none other than Atticus Vance . After receiving Kaneeta's message , Atticus had been extremely anxious and immediately prepared to come over . But then Kaneeta sent him another message , telling him not to inform her father or grandmother , so as not to worry them . Atticus thought to himself , Kaneeta was Madam Drayton's precious darling . As for Matthew , although his relationship with Kaneeta hadn't been good in recent years , she was still his beloved daughter , his only girl - how could he not care ? If he didn't tell them , and they found out later , wouldn't they blame him ? But Kaneeta had specifically asked him not to say anything . If he didn't listen , wouldn't she resent him ? Caught in this dilemma , Atticus suddenly remembered that a few days ago , he had heard Matthew mention wanting to arrange a marriage between Kaneeta and Woodrow . So that meant Woodrow was Kaneeta's fiancé . That meant he could tell Woodrow about this ! He could have Woodrow go with him to see Kanéeta . After all , Kaneeta had only said not to tell her father and grandmother - she hadn't said anything about Woodrow . If Matthew blamed him later , he could use Woodrow as an excuse . After all , Woodrow was about to become the Drayton family's son - in - law . This couldn't really be considered hiding it from the Drayton family ! So Atticus immediately called Woodrow . Woodrow said at once that he would head to the hospital right away . After hanging up , Atticus also rushed to the hospital , but since Woodrow was closer , he arrived first.
