Chapter 163 Farce
Knox's POV
When I got a call from the front desk saying some guy was causing trouble downstairs, my mind immediately went to Helena.
She just won't leave me alone. Can't go a single day without making trouble for me.
I stood up and strode toward the stairs.
As soon as I reached the first floor, I heard a man surrounded by security guards shouting angrily, "Get Knox out here! I want to see Knox. If he doesn't give me an explanation today, I'm not leaving."
"What explanation do you want?"
My voice rang out. The crowd slowly parted, and I saw Heath in the middle.
"What are you doing here?"
As I spoke, I noticed the tablets strapped to his chest and back, playing footage of Natasha and me having sex by the hotel pool.
Right now it was showing me on top of Natasha, thrusting away, looking absolutely ridiculous. And Natasha had her legs spread wide open the whole time, her naked breasts on full display.
However much she enjoyed it then, that's how embarrassing it was now.
People around were constantly taking photos and videos with their phones. Some were even company employees, all wearing nasty smirks on their faces.
I exploded with rage. "Get out! Get out! Everyone get the hell out!"
I waved my arms forcefully, driving the crowd away, then pointed at Heath. "Hold him down!"
With my order, the security guards rushed over and pinned Heath to the ground. I grabbed the tablets off him and smashed them hard on the floor.
"Beat him! Beat him hard!"
That damn bastard—so he was the one behind all this!
I was furious, ready to kill Heath!
Soon, after a few punches from the security guards, blood spurted from Heath's mouth.
He laughed coldly, opening his bloody mouth to shout, "Knox, I've been waiting for this day for so long. Your ass really sticks up there, doesn't it? Now everyone's seen it!"
"Shut up! Shut your mouth!"
I went crazy, kicking him hard in the face, making even more blood pour from his mouth and nose.
"Stop it! Stop hitting him!"
After a cold shout, I stopped and was about to turn around when several police officers rushed up to me. After showing their badges, they said seriously, "Mr. Pemberton, someone reported you for assault. You need to come with us."
Assault?
I frowned. Someone deliberately called the police to save Heath's life.
I'd just been released from the police station—I couldn't be taken away right now!
With that thought, I immediately said, "Sorry, officer, I'm the one who called the police."
I pointed at Heath on the ground. "He just broke into the company with a dangerous weapon. To protect company property and personnel, I had him detained. Please take him away as soon as possible."
The police looked skeptical. "He really came here to cause trouble on purpose?"
"Yes, really."
I gestured for the receptionist to show the police the surveillance footage of Heath making a scene in the lobby.
After watching it, the police believed me somewhat. "Alright, we'll take him away now. But Mr. Pemberton, don't leave town during this period. You need to be available when called."
"Yes."
Seeing my cooperative attitude, the police finally pulled Heath up from the ground. "Come with us."
Heath laughed loudly. Before leaving, he still sneered at me with his bloody teeth, "Knox, your fiancée's got a great body. But you? Not so much. Premature ejaculation. If you can't perform, go see a doctor."
"You!"
My rage flared up again.
That damn Heath—I should have knocked his teeth out earlier!
No, this can't just end like this!
After the police left, I made a phone call, having someone thoroughly investigate Heath's life after leaving the company, including his family—everything.
Natasha and I had sex in the hotel's VIP pool. Heath couldn't have gotten into the VIP pool unless someone else took the photos, and that person sent Heath here today to cause trouble.
My first thought was Helena, but I lacked evidence.
More urgently, many people witnessed today's incident. I had to prevent those videos and photos from getting out.
With that in mind, I called the PR department to handle this matter as a priority, making sure not a single related photo or video leaked out.
But what I didn't expect was that I was already a step too late. A reporter had already mixed into the crowd and left with what they'd captured.
By the time I got the news, it was too late.
"Knox, Knox."
Just then, I heard a woman calling. I turned to look—it was Natasha.
"What are you doing here?"
I angrily dragged her to a corner and glared at her unhappily. "Why aren't you at home? What are you running around for?"
Natasha looked a bit hurt. "I heard someone was causing trouble at your company. When I heard the news, I rushed over. What happened? Who caused trouble?"
As Natasha spoke, she looked around. Her behavior annoyed me.
"It's nothing. The troublemaker already left. Go home quickly."
I impatiently pulled her toward the exit. Natasha stumbled and nearly fell.
She angrily shook off my hand. "What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?"
Before I could speak, Natasha said suspiciously, "I knew it! You're afraid that bitch Lucy from your company will see me with you, right?"
"Knox, I haven't settled accounts with you two about that entertainment news story yet. Perfect timing—I'll go up right now and teach that bitch a lesson!"
Natasha started rushing toward the elevator.
"Get back here!"
I grabbed her and pulled her back.
Seeing herself pulled back, Natasha got even angrier.
"Knox, I knew you were having an affair with Lucy! Last time I told you to fire her, you said I was being paranoid. Now the news has published records of you two getting a hotel room together, what do you have to say!"
Natasha cried and shouted at me, "I knew it—you never really planned to marry me. Fine! Since you're protecting that bitch so much, let's break up!"
"Enough! You think things aren't messy enough already?"
Her words made me explode with anger.
I shouted at her, "Do you know what just happened? Heath just came here with a video of us having sex at the hotel. Don't you realize someone's deliberately orchestrating all this behind the scenes?"
My words instantly stunned Natasha. She stared at me blankly. "What do you mean?"
