Sometimes her body was hit by the traders and workers who were there. This Made Daisy have to wipe the part of her shirt that was touched, because she didn’t want her expensive clothes to be contaminated with germs.

“Huh, why do I have to go to this place? But if I don’t come here, of course I will always keep on curious,” she thought.

This time he was really angry that he couldn't say anything else. His hands began to clench tightly and cursed at the man who called him. No one ever thought that Robert Watson, Camilla's father, was involved in kidnapping his wife and child now.“You bastard Watson, what do you want! I warned you that I would never betray your daughter. It was just a silly game in childhood!” Nick replied.“Silly childhood game you say?

This time he gently touched Josephine's cheek and disgusted her former lover.Josephine seemed to push away Gerald's hand which kept trying to touch her. The more Josephine dodged the more he liked to tease her.“Your skin is still smooth and soft, only now you are a little different. You seem a bit stocky.

    At this time Andrew Young really pressed. He really didn't expect that he would suffer such a fate.The person he once underestimated suddenly turned things around in just a few minutes. In the past, he underestimated the Watson family because they had an economy class below him.Especially with Nicko, he had never taken the young man into account at all. Precisely thinks Nicko is like a pest that must be eradicated immediately. But now he is the pest. Even Chuck who became his ally also blamed him.“Chuck, you don't think about me anymore? Don't you remember our previous good relationship?" asked Master Young in a voice that sounded quivering with sorrow.Chuck shook his head and said again, “Didn't you hear what my uncle said earlier? We Watsons absolutely do not welcome a liar. Now you better get out of here!”"Chuck you,—" Andrew no longer continued his words.

At that time he had seen the ravaged state. Everything was full of trash and no one was there.He walked unsteadily, but suddenly a waiter came to chase him, "Sorry Mr. Young, this is the bill for tonight's event!"It was then that Andrew Young immediately patted his forehead and muttered that he had almost forgotten the bill he had to pay off.

What's more, they actually restrained him and made him no longer able to move and bait the people who were now hunting him.In fact, now that he's really stuck, no one can help him. Wanted to scream and ask Matthew for help but now the young man is not with him anymore. Then, Mr Watson, he should be a man he can rely on. While Chuck is actually an ally of his. But their positions were too far away and it was impossible for her to scream.Even if he had shouted for their help, before Chuck had come here he would have been battered and bruised.Now all he could do was bully his former bodyguard again into protecting him. The bodyguards he had dismissed were a bunch of chubby bums. By giving them even a glimmer of hope, they would definitely move to protect him, no matter how difficult the obstacles he had to face.“Hey you guys, quickly save me! Do your duty as a bodyguard.

    Andrew Young smiled and shook his head, “Of course not sir. That price is a very commensurate price for what you get.”“Humph, you must want to rob us by paying such a large fee! I don't want to buy!” exclaimed one of the visitors.Andrew Young smiled sarcastically and said, “I have no intention of robbing you. I set a fair price as you can see at Mr. Watson's birthday party, and also the changes in me. You all have even touched me and felt the difference. So I think 2.5 billion is really worth it.”The visitors who surrounded him also spoke like a buzzing beetle. After that, he spoke again by giving an explanation of everything. “Don't all of you know that in our youth we spend a lot of time working hard, thinking about many things even makes us forget to eat and lack sleep.
