Elena's POV
When I go into the living room, Amy lets me sit down."What's up?" I frown."Mrs. Barnett, Mr. Barnett has prepared a gift for you."Amy opens the box on the table. In it, there is a red dress and a ruby necklace on the dress. Amy takes out the beautiful red dress. The color is like fire, passionate and energetic, well matching the precious ruby necklace."This is for me? Why?" I don't want to touch that dress from Freddy, so I simply let Amy put the dress back into the box."Yes. There will be a party tonight and he will take you there. He also gave you a pair of shoes."Amy opens another box and in that there is a pair of high heels. And shoes are red too, but they are more shiny because they are decorated with diamonds and crystals.I stare at the heel of the shoes. They are so tall. If I wear them, my feet will be painful and I may fall down in public."Why would he take me there? I know nothing about his circle"Who is your master? He must be very rich, otherwise, how can he afford the dress, the necklace and the shoes? These are at least worth more than 3 million."The guests ask me and comment on my appearance."Yes, he is very much. Fortunately, he is old and ugly. Moreover, he is in poor health."The guests are surprised."Who is he?""A rich and unhealthy old man... Who can he be?""Miss Miller, please come upstairs."A waiter comes to me. I raise my head and look upstairs.I can see the railings on the second floor. The second floor looks like a platform where people can appreciate the show on the first floor and will not be disturbed.I narrow my eyes when I see Freddy's bodyguard standing by the railing, staring at me arrogantly.I bet when I was commented and mocked by the guests just now, Freddy must be watching as if he was watching a comedy.I follow the waiter to go upstairs silently. But to my surprise,
I raise my wrist, look at my watch, and frown, "She left the party at seven o'clock. Hasn't she come back yet?"Amy says, "No. I have been staying in the living room, and Mrs. Barnett did not come back. I am really worried about her. It is so late now. Where can she go?"I frown and keep silent."If she didn't come back, where could she go?""Did she lie to me by saying that she would come back to write a thesis?""Why did she lie to me? What is her secret?""Did she go to meet Aaron again?""Sir, I'm going to call Mrs. Barnett." Amy hurries towards the telephone.Alina's POVWhen I came out of the villa where the party was held, I was kidnapped.Before I realized anything and shouted for help, I was dragged into a car. Then I was blindfolded and my hands were bound.After that, the car drove on the road for about half an hour before stopping.I felt that I was taken to a room and pushed into a chair to sit down.Whe
"Sorry Aaron!" I apologize inside."Someone must be responsible for the missing system. Since you once betrayed me, I won't feel too guilty about using you.""Bill has discovered that the system is missing. I have no choice. I am sorry."I know that if I don't distract Bill's attention away from me, I'm going to be dangerous for the rest of my life.Suddenly, my cell phone rings.The man opens my bag and takes out my cell phone.The words 'the Barnett family' are displayed on the phone screen."You really didn't lie! Since you are now related to the Barnett family, I won't make things difficult for you, so go!"It seems that the man can not afford to offend the Barnett family."I have done what the client asked me to do. Leave now!""Thank you."...After I am free, I call Amy back at once ."Mrs. Barnett, why did you hang up the phone just now? You haven't come back so late, what happened?" Amy's voice comes.I glance at the sur
"Of course, I hope he can recover quickly. Then he can work more and not be at home often."He turns around and stares at me coldly. I don't want to fight with him so late at night when I am so tired, so I change my words."I mean, if you don’t make much money, how can you buy me such an expensive dress, Beautiful necklace and shiny high heels?”I change into my slippers, walk up to him, and turn around in front of him to show how beautiful I am in this dress.I hope he can feel better with me acting so flatteringly.“I’ve never worn such an expensive dress and high heels. I didn't even see ruby with my own eyes before. "Freddy sneers. " Pathetic woman."After uttering these words with his thin lips, he enters the elevator before I say anything to reply.I stare at the elevator doors closing. I am stunned."Freddy is a total bastard. I worked hard to make him less unhappy and tried to be friends with h
I answer, "Well. I think it is impossible to promote the whole house automatic cleaning system to reality. Can machines really clean more meticulously than humans? And people with a little money hire nannies to clean up, and there is no need to use an automatic cleaning system. I doubt this project myself, let alone investors."I sigh in despair.Blaney lays her hand on my shoulder to comfort me."Don't be too pessimistic. Many rich people invest in a project not for practicality, but for creativity."I smile bitterly."By the way, there is a party tonight, and all the rich second generations will go. Why don't you come with me? Maybe you can meet someone who is willing to invest in your project."Blaney stares at me hopefully.I laugh. "Forget it! The rich second generation is useless, only the rich first generation is possible to invest in my project.""There is also the rich first generation there. You go and try your luck! You
Ten minutes later, Alina's cell phone rings. I smile. It must be Freddy calling her back.After Alina answers the phone, she sends a message to someone, and then hurries towards the exit. I look at the back of Alina leaving in a hurry.I wonder with a smile. "Where did Alina get the guts to cheat on Freddy again and again? She always dares to play outside behind Freddy's back.""Isn't it good to stay with Freddy?""Which man out here can be compared to Freddy, including me?"I really don't understand what's going on in this woman's mind.Alina's POVI hurriedly text Blaney and rush towards the entrance.Blaney frowns and replies. "Why are you in such a hurry? What happens to you? Is it so urgent?"I smile bitterly. "It's urgent. Let's talk about it next time we meet!"Sebastian, Freddy's bodyguard just called me. He said that he was coming to pick me up and he wanted me to wait outside the hotel door."If you dare not li
"I said he likes you! You don't believe me!" Sebastian yells as if he was wronged.Looking at Sebastian, a strong man staring at me with an aggrieved face as if he is going to cry, I am totally speechless.I think, "Maybe Freddy hasn't been kind to many people in his life, so if he is a little bit friendly to a person, people around him will think he likes this person.""Fine." I try to comfort the pathetic strong man."I believe you, but the love I'm looking forward to is mutual respect, not complete control of one party over the other.""How can you say so? What an honor it has to be liked by the alpha of the pack!"I smile decently. "He is your alpha, but not mine."After the car arrives at Freddy's house, Sebastian walks up to Freddy first.Probably because he is afraid that Freddy will get angry, Sebastian explains to Freddy in a low voice first. "Ms Miller told me in the car just now, what she said last night was
I think, if that woman is still alive, should I be counted as the other woman?If that woman is dead, am I a substitute for that woman?Being either the former or the latter is very sad.When I am thinking about these, Freddy's thoughts seem to have gone far too."Let's talk about Aaron! Why do you like him?" Freddy takes out a cigarette and looks elusive."I don't like him anymore." I roll my eyes with disdain.If it weren't because we have talked about love and we are both embarrassed just now, I might continue to irritate Freddy with Aaron.Although this behavior is naive. But since Freddy loses his temper every time because of a small thing, if I did not do something to counterattack, I would collapse."Because you saw that he was a loser, you didn't like Him anymore?" Freddy puts the cigarette in between his fingers and does not ignite it."In your eyes, there is nothing else except money and power?" I ask."I liked him be
