Chapter 197 The Last Gift
Hearing this voice, Aleah couldn’t help trembling.
All the arrogance turned into fear, and she didn’t even dare to look at the door. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
She did not forget what this man had said to her.
If she didn’t marry him successfully…
Thinking of the feeling of suffocation when the man pinched her that night, Aleah felt out of breath.
She swallowed and asked respectfully, “What… What are you doing here?”
“Me?”
The thin lips under the silver mask curled up, and the man walked slowly toward Aleah.
“I’ve been at your house today. Don’t you know that? Oh, your whole family went to the hotel to attend the wedding. Of course, they didn’t know when I came. But it doesn’t matter, does it?”
Aleah unconsciously took a step back, but she couldn’t say a word.
The man came forward step by step. It was not until Aleah had nowhere to retreat that she made a trembling sound with her ankle on the edge of the bed.
“I beg you… I, I don’t want to die…”
If she had known that it would end up like this, she would never have made a deal with this devil!
“Shh.”
The man pressed his index finger against his thin lips, motioning for her to shut up.
“What are you talking about? This is a legal society. What can I do to you? Don’t be so nervous.”
When he spoke in such a tone, Aleah became even more frightened.
“What… What do you want…”
Fear spread from the soles of her feet to her whole body. In the end, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth and speak.
“What do I want to do? What have I done to Ms. Boyle? Isn’t you the one who always asked me to satisfy you? I’m here to help you anyway.’
The man drawled and approached Aleah with a cold smile.
He raised his hand as if he wanted to grab her chin, but he suddenly stopped as if thinking of something else.
But the moment he raised his hand, Aleah took a step back in horror and fell on the bed awkwardly. She curled up and shivered, “Please don’t… please don’t touch me…”
Seeing Aleah’s humble attitude, there’s a trace of disgust flashing across the man’s eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
The man resumed his arrogant look and looked down at her, “Why are you so nervous? I don’t want to do anything to you.”
“Touch her?
“It is too disgusting,” thought thre man.
Aleah shivered and didn’t dare to refute.
She timidly put her hands on her neck and looked at him pitifully.
The man looked at her with a sneer.
“What a pitiful look. You look like a dying little beast. I really don’t want to kill you.”
Aleah’s eyes widened.
What a devil!
She knew that this man was a devil!
Just as Aleah couldn’t help but want to beg for his mercy again, the man suddenly stopped smiling evilly. His tone became a little serious, and there seemed to be a hint of regret in it.
“I won’t hurt you for the time being, but I’m afraid I can’t do anything for you in the future. After all, I’ve helped you so many times, but you seem to haven’t done anything successfully yet. It’s really my fault.”
The man sighed softly and looked pitifully at the woman lying on the bed.
“I’ll give you one last gift. I hope you can grasp it well, and don’t let me down again. After all, you’ve infected me with that dirty disease, so you have to pay the price. You can’t get luck all the time,
right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes were instantly covered with coldness.
He knocked on the table in the room, where there was a blue folder, which seemed to have been put there long before.
After that, the man turned around and left without any hesitation.
Aleah, who was paralyzed on the bed, had not yet reacted. She looked at the empty room in disbelief. She had the illusion that she had just survived a disaster, as if everything that had just happened
was a dream.
Probably because she was too frightened, Aleah gave herself a hard slap.
It hurt.
She quickly got out of bed and picked up the folder that the man had thrown on the table.
After scanning through the contents of the document, her face, which had always been pure, became sinister, and her eyes were full of hatred.
“Cierra!”
Sure enough, it was her!
Aleah knew that her wedding had been ruined by Cierra. This bitch had left New York and disappeared for so long. Why did she have to appear again and give her a hard time?
Aleah clutched the piece of paper in her hand tightly, wishing she could see through it!
There wasn’t much written on it. She just briefly sorted out the people around Cierra.
William Barton, the CEO of XR Entertainment.
Harold Bernard-Barton, a talented hacker who began learning programming in primary school.
And then there was Ryan, who was in charge of the technology department in the Trevino Group…
Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, William could always dig out some unspeakable relationships between Aleah and some directors and producers; Harold and Ryan seemed to be able to easily hack into their computers.
Although it was only about the interpersonal network of Cierra, based on various connections, Aleah had already pinned the blame on Aleah for today’s wedding banquet.
Except for Cierra, who else hated her so much that they could get those videos?
Since this b*tch had ruined everything Aleah had, she would definitely not let her off the h***k!
The Barton family in Los Angeles.
Because of the disappearance of Will, the whole Borton family was in a mess.
Regardless of the fact that it was the first time that Cierra had officially returned home, everyone began to set off to search for Will.
The person who was most anxious was Sarah.
Although Will was brought up by Jaquan, he came to see Sarah and Mr. Barton every week. He was also her first grandson, so how could she not take it to heart?
Because of Cierra’s returning today, the little fellow was sent to the old house early in the morning.
Sarah just went to the kitchen to cook. How could he disappear?
Sarah was so anxious that she couldn’t speak clearly. “There was no one keeping an eye on Will. Who’s the last one to have seen him? Hurry up and look for him!”
The one who came out to report was Mrs. Taylor. At this moment, she was also very anxious and
looked worried.
“I was in the kitchen just now, and Ms. Riley brought took care of Will for a while. When I came out, she said that Will had gone somewhere to hide. I was afraid that he would run out, so I came to tell you, Madam!”
“Ms. Riley? Cherry? When did she come?”
A trace of impatience flashed across Sarah’s face, but she quickly calmed down.
Although Cierra didn’t know the details, she had a rough idea of what was going on after hearing this. “Since Ms. Riley was the last one to see Will, let’s go and ask her about the situation first. And according to your description, he should be hiding somewhere in the old house and hasn’t run out yet. Let’s go in and look for him together.”
Since someone was watching over Will in the room, something must have happened so that he wanted to leave first. That was why he lost his temper and did not want to see anyone.
It was just like when Cierra ran away from home to L’Opera Restaurant,
As for judging that the Will was still hiding in the old house, it was because they had been at the door all the time. If he really ran away, they would naturally see him.
Judging from the time described by Mrs. Taylor, Will had just hidden himself somewhere. He shouldn’t have been able to escape during such a short period.
The group of people didn’t have time to get the gifts in the car and hurried into the old house to look for Will.
