Looking at her, I suddenly thought of Dennis and said, âItâs your mission!â
She paused, looked at me and said, âWhat?â
âMission! Grandpa was in the military, so he raised you to believe in duty and mission. You donât want to leave the Gibson family, not because the Gibson family can bring much benefit to you, but when Yank talked about cooperation with you, in fact, you subconsciously planned to carry the Gibson family.â
She was stunned for a while and didnât say much. She raised her eyebrows and said, âNo wonder my father chose you.â
She stood up and said faintly, âNow that the cooperation has been agreed, I hope I can hear from you soon.â
...
In the afternoon.
Andy Lee was sentenced to ten years in prison for bribery and accepting bribes of a large amount of property.
Through the heavy glass walls, I looked at his haggard face, which looked as if he had aged several years.
When he saw me, he sneered sarcastically, âWhat? Are you here to laugh at me?â
I looked at him and did not contradict him, but said, âYour familyâs property and illegal income have all been confiscated and mortgaged. I heard your daughter is going to middle school soon. She goes to a private school, so tuition and living expenses must be quite expensive. Your assets are basically tied up now, and with the money your wife has, it wonât be long before she has to quit school.â
He looked at me with wide eyes and said excitedly, âWhat do you want?â
I was in no hurry to say what I wanted, but simply said, âIt seems your wife has already found a replacement. It was probably too much for a rich lady like her, who had been used to good times, to suddenly be left to bear all the burdens alone. I hear your wife keeps a good figure and looks. If she finds another one, it won't be hard for her to lead a good life.â
He glared at me with his anger palpable through the glass. âWhat do you want?â
âI want Lunaâs records of all of her transactions over the years, from the start of her career, all of her life! I want them all.â
He sneered, âHer life story is on almost all the big websites. There is no need to ask me for it. And I donât know anything else about her!â
Seeing his resistance, I relented slightly. âGive me that,â I said, âand Iâll take care of your daughter for the next ten years. With the support of The George family in Newton Town and the Kennedy family in City P, as long as she works hard enough, she will have a bright future.â
His irritated eyes paused, looked up at me, and said uncertainly, âAre you sure?â
âYou can choose not to believe it. Itâs your daughterâs life. Whatever you choose, her life is up to you.â
He pressed his lips together, his head in his hands, his fingers in his hair, pulling at it, as if he were thinking, as if he were struggling to make a decision.
After a long time, he looked up at me and said, âYes, but I want a promise. You have to give it to me!â
I nodded, âOkay.â
There was a long silence before he said, âNewton Town, Century Garden, you go to my wife and tell her about it, and ask her to meet me here with what I have given her!â
I nodded. âAny other messages?â
He shook his head and spoke no more.
Coming out of prison, I looked up at the overcast sky. For about a month, the sun never seemed to come up in Newton Town.
It was always foggy and hazy, with occasional drizzle or snow, which was pretty annoying.
Still, spring should be around the corner.
Glancing at my watch, I went straight to the restaurant Link was talking about.
When I get there, only Leo had arrived. He pulled over, and when he saw me, he raised his eyebrows and said, âSo early?â
I shrugged. âSo do you.â
He smiled. âLink sent me over early to order, and once Mr. Shone arrived, we needed to treat him properly and politely.â
Okay!
I went upstairs with him, took care of things, and we went straight to the room we had reserved.
The room was very distinctive. As soon as we entered the door, we saw a large screen embroidered with shallow light lotus, which looked elegant and noble all the more.
Leo smiled as I stared at the screen. âThis restaurant is famous for its unique decor.â
I nodded in agreement and sat down. Seeing that I was listless, he said, âWhatâs going on with Andy Lee?â
At this point, I remembered and said, âPlease help me find a reliable person to meet Andy Leeâs wife at Century Garden in Newton Town and tell her to come to City P and visit him with the things Andy gave her.â
He gestured that he knew, looked at me and said, âYou donât need him anymore, do you? Why did you go looking for him in prison again?â
âIâve decided to give Luna a hard time. I was being too kind, and now I suddenly want her to be ruined.â
He frowned and narrowed his eyes. âDid Luna go to you again?â
I said nothing, but silence was tacit consent.
He sighed and said reluctantly, âClara, have you ever thought about looking for your parents?â
I was stunned, not expecting him to mention this. I thought about it and shook my head. âNo! Itâs been years, and when they start thinking about getting rid of me, it means Iâm not that important to them. Besides, the kindness of raising is greater, I only want to remember my grandmother all my life, the other is not important.â
He pressed his lips together and looked at me tentatively. âWould you recognize your parents if you meet them one day?â
âNo!â After all these years, what was the point? Biological parents looking for their children was nothing more than atonement, to make up for their own regret. So, it was not love. If it was love, they wouldnât have abandoned their children in the first place.
He paused and said no more.
I clenched my chin, thinking about what Olivia had said that day. Not that I was worried, but now that we were all over each other, there are certain things I should guard against.
Seeing me in a daze, he raised his eyebrows. âWhat are you thinking?â
âLeo, they say the way to destroy a man is to attack his weakness. Do you know what my weakness is?â
If Olivia were to turn against me, I didnât know what she would think of other than people close to me.
Please Love Me, Mr. George ï¤Chapter 244 Olivia was Looking for Trouble 3 He was a little surprised, thought for a moment and said, âYour weakness? of course, itâs me!â
I glanced up at him and said gravely, âDonât be naughty!â
He shrugged. âUsually, peopleâs weaknesses are the things or people they care about most. Think about what you care about most. The other is a personâs reputation, power, status, what you own, what you care about, and what you want.â
I...
The one I cared about?
