10 I dont blame you (2/2)
And instead he wanted to force her to be his woman?
But one thing that she was sure of was that his reasons would not be good for her sake and what rested ahead was a long miserable road for her.
Given Damon reputation, he won't be forgiving her for stepping on his pride.
”Brother Jiang don't worry”, she said in her sweet voice, with her lingering smile. She faced her aunti and said brightly in an attempt to cheer everyone up, ”Aunti I've been starving for days. Haven't you prepared anything for your dear niece?”
”Of course sweetheart!”, Auntie Paulette eyes lit up as she hurriedly walked to kitchen to bring something to Rosaline.
That was her girl.
Always responsible and understanding of the situation.
”Rose...”, Jiang said quietly, ”I just wanted to ask did you have any acquaintance with Mr Stafford beforehand. I mean he specifically asked for you and was aware of your name, age and identity. Those men in upper circle don't usually involve themselves with someone like us”
Rosaline looked down.
She had never lied to her brother before.
”Yes I had a chance of chatting with him once in the club”
”Just chat”, Jiang asked, ”Nothing else”
Rosaline just shook her head.
Rosaline didn't want her family to know what exactly happened because if they were to know then they would also know that Damon held no noble intentions and would hurt her. If that was revealed, her family would only get into depression and might try to get her free from him and ruin themselves in the process. Because if she didn't enter his mansion by the end of the month, the debt would fall on them and their family business would be confiscated.
And that would mark the end of Wang family.
After all it was her mistake to begin with. So she alone should face the punishment. If her family was to suffer the consequences of her mistake, how could she had a clear conscience?
Once observing the sad and enigmatic look on his sister face, Jiang knew that there was more to the story but decided not to interrogate her further for now. After all she was already having a hard time accepting the current arrangement. And he didn't want to press her further.
Jiang was still unaware that the sudden fall of their business one year ago was caused by the involvement of Damon who had his influence deep into everything. And everything was preplanned. To make Wang family fall on his knees and become his debtors.
And to make them willingly surrender their daughter.
