Chapter 19 Yousll Have To Give Me A Reason (2/2)

Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.

”You are inexperienced in bed,” he said coldly.

”You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce,” Jean replied furiously.

”Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about,” he sneered.

” I'm afraid that few people will dislike a girl like Becky.”

He didn't answer Brian directly, but there was a complex emotion flashing across his eyes. Looking up, he said to his brother instead,” You seem to pay a lot of attention to QY Island.”

”I like fun games!” That single sentence showed how ambitious and fearless Brian was. He put down his glass and, getting up, slowly told Eric,” I'll stay in the city for a while. Since Becky has left, you can go back to Dragon Island. I don't want uncle asking me about you!''

Soon as he had finished his last sentence, he took the coat Tony had handed him and began striding towards the door.

Eric did not move. He watched Brian's receding footsteps and wondered,” Why would you stay here even after Becky is gone?”

”Wing will hold a charity concert here next month!” Brian left the office as soon as he had finished speaking, and the office was left silent in Eric's presence.

He merely smiled and sipped his wine. The fragrance and the sweet taste spread over his entire mouth. His eyes were fixed on the big screen and occasionally, he caught sight of Molly circulating among the gamblers. Eric couldn't help watching her carefully.

After Molly had exchanged the chips she had received as tips from the gamblers, she hurriedly went to change her clothes and then ran towards the Dream Coffee café just opposite the Grand Night Casino.

”Welcome!” a waitress greeted her sweetly. ”Are you alone, miss?”

”No...” she answered as her eyes fluttered around. The entire café was filled with people. Even though it was late, this was a busy part of the city. Molly's eyes stopped at a corner. She couldn't help but feel joyful. ”I have a friend here!”

She walked directly towards Eric and smiled at him. She sat opposite to him and ordered a cup of coffee. She was biting her lips, trying to find the right way to say it. Eric made it easy for her.

”Is there anything I can help you with?” he asked, noticing her embarrassed look.

”Well...” Molly paused for a moment. Then she simply looked at Eric and said,” Can you lend me two hundred grand? I need it urgently. I swear I will pay you back in a month. I promise!”

She was so nervous that her heart was almost jumping out of her chest. She was keeping her lips tightly closed and staring at Eric who had been wearing an elegant but evil smile since the beginning of their encounter.

He did not say a word. He was just looking at her carefully, as if surveying her. Molly began to breath heavily. Then Eric remembered her image on the monitor screen, and Brian's attitude came to his mind. He said peacefully,” Even though it isn't that much... you'll have to give me a reason anyway.”
