Including the Patterson Group changing owners.Ashley didn't answer, she lowered her head in silence, listening quietly. Of course, Kane noticed her reaction, the corner of his lips had a hint of bitterness… She was really smart.Not answering meant refusing to talk about this topic.“Ashley.” He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Ashley’s hand: “Ashley, no matter what he says, I believe you.” Kane said in a serious tone.Ashley didn't immediately pull her hand away from Kane's, she gently smiled, and raised her head, in her clear pupils there was no emotion, not sad nor happy, only a pair of clear beautiful eyes: "Thank you."As certain as a nail. Not a single word was superfluous.Causing Kane on the opposite side, his handsome face slowly became heavy, the hand and holding her hand tightened even more, as f the thing in his hand was about to fly away, there was a strange sense of panic in his heart, he only thought that he had to use more strength to grasp the thing in his hand.
Just one “I understand” proved that he understood what had happened. “For his own life, he asked his sister to save his life, well done.” Why didn’t he think about his sister’s unhealthy body, it was difficult to protect her, and she even had to donate bone marrow to him?”Lorne’s words carried a hint of provocation, coldly mocking: “Now he’s begging her, where did the past go?”“The past?”Kane didn’t understand anything. Lorne looked at Kane’s face with a meaningful expression: “What’s the matter? Don’t you know? She was in prison.”Kane nodded, of course, he knew. “Then you should also know that the Patterson family abandoned her when she was at her most difficult, cutting off all ties. It’s fine now, but when they needed someone, they shamelessly came to find her. There are things, if the Patterson family had a little humanity, if they only cared a little about Ashley, then many things could have been avoided. For example, losing a kidney.”Kane agreed with what Lorne said, the on
Ashley was surprised, the teacup in her hand shook slightly, and the tea in the cup dripped a few drops onto the table, Meadow's eyes did not leave, and finally, she glanced at the few drops of tea that fell on the table. "Don't talk nonsense," Ashley whispered."Ashley, I know you, you've been in this nightclub for a long time, I've been there too so I understand one thing best... people who can do this in any kind of nightclub are very good at observing other people's expressions."Meadow pointed at Ashley: "You can't fool me."Ashley lowered her head, her two hands still holding the teacup, extremely calm, time seemed to stop.Meadow also did not force her anymore, it was just that her eyes were still staring at Ashley on the opposite side.After a long while."There's no such thing."Ashley was extremely calm, indifferently said.She trusted Meadow but did not let that person be in danger.During this period, she realized something very clearly in her heart… she didn’t want to ris
“I don’t want to drive tonight, I’ll come pick it up tomorrow.”“Okay, then you wait a moment.”The parking attendant left and then came back, handing the car key to Ashley. It had been a long time since she had taken the subway or the bus.Tonight, she especially wanted to take the subway or the bus.The watch on her hand showed 20:30, almost midnight, but there were still many people on the street. People were walking back and forth, she heard footsteps and voices passing by. In the girl's eyes, there was a feeling almost like admiration.Sitting on the subway and then transferred to the bus, and still could not ease the loneliness in her, still the same, alone, her heart was full of hundreds of thoughts, still could not escape the cage.There was a call. She silently picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID, her eyes became heavy, she answered the call, and her eyes were a little tense and confused. "Sorry Ashley, we have tried our best." At the other end of the line was a m
The old eyes, blinking and emitting light, did not leave her face.Ashley's eyelids drooped, the old man in front of her was indeed worthy of being a legend in the business world, she smiled slightly, slowly raising her eyes: "You are truly the ginger that gets spicier as you age, compared to that year, it is indeed so. Your heart and methods are extremely vicious."Ashley was not someone who could be defeated by anyone. Mr. Elise wanted to humiliate her, could it be like that?Mr. Elise saw that he not only failed to attack her but also made the girl counterattack, the coldness in his old eyes became even more intense, and the corners of his lips coldly pressed down: "You are as hateful as your deceased grandfather."Ashley looked deeply at that old man... it turned out that this old man hated her deceased grandfather so much.She lowered her eyes, deep in her eyes there was an incomprehensible trace."Tonight, you told me to come here, do you want to talk about family matters with m
She looked at the box on the table, this old man's purpose was to probe her.She almost bet everything three years ago, madly running away from Milan.This old man knows how to read other people's psychology. Three years ago, she threw away everything and ran away. Today, this old man deliberately put forward such a generous condition to let her leave. This should be something she would dream of having.If Milan had a problem, then she could leave without thinking about it.On the contrary, once she chose to accept the condition that Mr. Elise gave, leaving at night, then it proved that… Milan had something happen.Because, only when she was no longer under Milan's control, could she leave without any fear.Otherwise, as long as Milan was still alive and well, she would have no way to leave.Ever since Ashley was stopped by Christian, she had thought that something would happen tonight. Until she entered Elise's house and saw Mr. Elise, she was still speculating, but until the box was
"What reason could I have, why are you suspicious? Ashley, are your thoughts always this heavy?""Really? Just want to take me home?" She didn't believe it, absolutely didn't believe it.In the car, there was a moment of silence.Ashley looked at the street lights receding behind her, if Christian didn't say it, then why did she have to ask?If he wanted to say it, he would have said it himself.After a long while."Is the young master okay?"Ashley understood...it's not okay at all.“You should go ask him, you are his subordinate after all.”Christian was silent for a moment, then said: “Ashley, you are very smart, I admit that I chased you not just to take you home. I have many questions to ask you privately. It's just a pity that I haven't had the chance yet.”“Just ask.”“Miss Gina, do you remember her?”Ashley’s fingers moved slightly: “Of course.” She slowly raised her head, looking at the driver in front.The streetlights outside were bright, leaving a moving shadow on her face
In the end… who was it?At this moment, a few people appeared in her mind. A flash of light flashed momentarily, and then she narrowed her eyes and said solemnly: “The person standing behind you is a tall, dark-skinned man. There’s a scar on the back of his left hand, right?”Although the other party hid it very well, they were still a little surprised. “We don’t know who you’re talking about, Ashley, remember one thing. You brought about today’s outcome. We’re all paid to work, today, we have to let you suffer a little.”After speaking, the leader used a vicious gaze to signal the two subordinates beside him: “Don’t hold back, hit hard.”Ashley's face changed color, this group of people wasn't joking, not threatening her.The thugs holding baseball bats in their hands, had already approached her, shouting and charging.Seeing the danger coming, she unconsciously bent her legs and ran towards the light.But she forgot, that even though her legs were strong, she still couldn't resist t
My parents stood not far away, but they did not enter the garden. At that time, I didn't understand, were my parents sad.Later I learned that my parents wanted to give my grandparents a final space.Her funeral was not a big deal, but the whole city of S, even the powerful and prestigious people, came to pay their respects.Her funeral was arranged by my grandfather.After my grandmother passed away, my grandfather's bones began to weaken.After examination, they couldn't find the cause. My father said, "Your grandfather has a mental illness."What is mental illness? I didn't dare ask.It's just that every year after my grandmother passed away, my grandfather would hold her portrait, and cherish it, as if my grandmother was still alive.Occasionally, my grandfather would talk to her portrait, as if he were talking to her. Another spring, everything seemed to be restored.My grandfather pulled me back and said, "Like.""Like what?""Like your grandmother.""Don't be sad anymore." I'm
My name is Kal Elise. This name was given by my grandfather, and as for his personality, according to my experience when I was young, he was not a good person.My grandfather's name was Milan. I heard that he was extremely charismatic when he was young.My grandmother's name is Ashley.Sometimes I wonder why this couple, who seemed to be incompatible, can still be together until now.Before my father was born, my grandparents divorced.After the divorce, my grandparents did not remarry.My grandfather did not care about my face and clung to my grandmother all day long.Since I have memories, my grandfather has always treated my grandmother well.Grandpa Tyson told me: Your grandfather never bowed to anyone, he was arrogant, and everyone was afraid of him.But why do I feel that what Grandpa Tyson said is not trustworthy?If my grandfather was that strong, why did he obediently run home like a puppy just because of a glare from my grandmother?Moreover, have you ever met an arrogant ma
“Divorce is good.”The old man snorted and walked on crutches.“Wait.” She chased after him: “The matter between you and my grandfather, don’t drag it onto me anymore. I don’t owe you. If you still want to collect the debt, find my late grandfather. Okay, I’ve made my position clear, you go, I won’t see you off.”“You…” The old man behind her trembled with anger, but Ashley had already gone far away.Meadow chased after her: “What’s the matter? Is there a grudge between Elise's house and Patterson's house?”“Nothing.”“Then I…”“I don’t like that old man.”Meadow agreed with her: “That’s right.” Elise's house and Patterson's house, the grudge between Mr. Elise and Mr. Morio, it’s best to resolve it between the two of them. As for her, she didn’t want to mention it.3 days after the surgery. Inside the intensive care unit, the man lying on the bed did not have any reaction.Even the slightest reaction was enough to make everyone happy.The morning of the first day.The man on the bed
However, she didn't need to do anything, the girl quietly looked at the man on the hospital bed, and a second later, she reached out to him.“You don't need to dirty your hands for me…” Before he could finish his words, a thin, weak body pressed against him.Suddenly, a soft feeling rose in his heart.He was surprised and didn't know what was happening."You..."Her index finger unbuttoned his shirt, and she turned over and sat on him, in a position like making love. "You..."She lowered her head and kissed his lips. If he could still endure like this, then he wasn't a man.His mind was blank.His body responded honestly, his big hand grabbed her waist, tilted his head, and kissed her back.Outside the door, Reuben heard the sound of the door locking, he suddenly felt worried, he raised his hand to knock on the door, but was stopped by Meadow."The door is locked, what if she does something bad to the young master...""That's not the case." Meadow retorted.Tyson's face was solemn: "S
In the hospital, the door of the ward opened without a sound.When Tyson ran over, he saw the girl.He didn't say anything, Meadow pulled him out into the hallway and closed the door.The man lay on the bed, his head tilted to one side, sleeping, deep in his dream.Not knowing what was in his dream, he frowned, showing that his sleep was not peaceful.The hand on the bed was wearing a wedding ring.The girl walked slowly, finally stopping in front of the man's hospital bed.Her eyes fell on the man's ring finger.She didn't know what she was thinking.She just stared at the ring for a long time, staring until she fell into thought.Not knowing how long it had been, the man opened his eyes vaguely, seeing the girl in his dream.He smiled slightly: "I'm dreaming again."Like a friend he hadn't seen for a long time, his tone of voice to her was both gentle and warm: "That's great, you still appear in my dream."The girl standing by the bed was lost in thought, her eyes gradually focused
In the three years, she also saw Milan constantly looking for Ashley. Everyone told her to stop looking, maybe Ashley had died long ago.If she didn't die, why couldn't he find her after three years?But that man didn't believe it, he kept looking. In addition to finding the girl in his heart, his life was all about work.What Meadow saw was an arrogant man, never giving up on finding the girl in his heart.Although she couldn't tell what Milan had done, she could see that he was very persistent.All of these were things she expected from a man, but perhaps she couldn't find that person in her entire life.But Ashley wasn't like that.She could get the happiness she couldn't have from Ashley. She had gone through bad things with Ashley, and all those bad pasts would probably end with Ashley.She admitted she was very biased.But the important thing is that she can see that Ashley is not a heartless person. Ashley does not completely give up, it is just that she is running away.If the
Tyson sneered: "Now you say it's all over, why didn't you say it straight at first? I'll tell you, you're strange. At first, you didn't hesitate to use any tricks, you refused to let go. Now that you're sick, you chased her away."Tyson felt a little sour in his heart: "Now I believe it, you love her very deeply."The man didn't say anything, Tyson also felt bored."I heard she's going back to City A."The man paused for a moment, then hoarsely said: "She likes that place, it's a good place. Okay, okay.""Aren't you going to say goodbye to her? This might be the last time you two see each other."As a friend, he didn't want to say these unfortunate words. As a doctor, he knew very well how serious his good friend's condition was."No... No more." The man tilted his head and looked out the window: “She hates me, I’ve always known that.”“You…” Tyson wanted to say why he had to be like this, but he respected his friend’s choice: “You like sleeping more and more, why didn’t you tell me a
In the hospital.In the VIP room, today an unexpected figure appeared."Let him in."In the ward, the man of few words.The door of the ward opened, and an outstanding man walked in."You grasped the news so quickly." On the hospital bed, the man gently curled his lips and said, his lips pale and bloodless.“I have a source. Even if you hide it well, I can't guarantee that you won't reveal it."The man curled his lips and smiled lightly: "You don't have to be in such a hurry. When I die, the Elise Group will be yours.""Hurry up." The person who came found a seat: "When you die, all the assets will be transferred to her."Although he didn't say who "she" was, a light flashed under the man's eyes: "You know me very well.""No no no." The person who came shook his finger: "It was just a coincidence that I saw Lawyer Mike coming out of the hospital that day. Lawyer Mike was hired by you, and has a department that only serves you and the Elise Group."He held a briefcase, and behind him w
Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps her head was already wet, she raised her head slightly to peek… And couldn’t take her eyes off him anymore. She was captivated by the rich and complex emotions in his eyes.Gentle, lingering, and… what else could it be?She had used all her vocabulary to find a word that could describe it. But, she searched her mind but couldn’t find a word that could describe that gaze.Her eyes gradually became confused. She couldn’t understand this person’s gaze.The feeling was very familiar, but also very strange.A warm hand gently placed itself on her forehead.He gently rubbed the scars that would never disappear.“It must have hurt a lot back then.”That person gently asked her.She felt uncomfortable with this gentleness, so she placed her hand on his, and said without hesitation: “It doesn’t hurt.”Her body had experienced more pain than this wound.Ask her if it hurts. What's the point of pretending?At that moment, she thought.A red swelling immediate
