After returning to the hospital, Elisa ran back to the dormitory to take a shower and then went to the office.
When she saw Annie, she remembered what she said in the morning that something was going to happen to her.
” Annie, what did you want to tell me long ago?”
” Where did you go all morning?”
” Went around with Brother Tyler.”
Annie gave Elisa a glass of warm water, “My house was not been wrecked by the construction workers yet. The compensation was not yet been discussed; most people did not move. Yesterday the construction workers directly went there. When a car arrived at the gate of the community, I also saw that a bunch of hooligans started fighting because the people don’t want to move. Several people have already been beaten when I saw them.”
” Did you call the police?”
“I Reported it but the police said they couldn’t control it.”
Elisa said in a puzzled way: ” Then what can I do for you?”
“I checked. The construction unit is a real estate company under the Brich Group. I want you to ask my brother-in-law with that matter.”
” I will try. I have never participated in your brother-in-law’s work. I don’t know how they work, and I may not be able to help.”
“I understand. I don’t think this is like what my brother-in-law and the others usually do. I have sent representatives to talk a few times before, but none of them is like this.”
“Did you have to mention the owners? ” She asked, born in Italy the court, there was no point to force, but does she not think about William banquet.
The current excesses also have the responsibility of householders.
” I don’t know the details. I heard from my dad that the people in the community had already agreed to the compensation. Later, the owner’s committee felt that it was less and wanted to fight for more.”
” Has the contract been signed?”
“It was Signed. It’s just half a month before we move. Now we are driving in with an excavator and hurting people. It’s the Brich Group’s fault.”
” We will not discuss the specific right or wrong now. I will report the matter to your brother-in-law. I can’t interfere in what way he handles it. In fact, I think both sides are wrong.”
Annie nodded slowly.
Elisa called William and told him the matter.
“They told that to me also but the people have been dealt with.”
” Will it have any effect on you?”
“This kind of thing happens often. Some people are insatiable and never satisfied. Appropriate hard measures are necessary, but they will not be implemented.”
” What’s the reason for that?”
” You have to ask Alyssa.”
” Alyssa? ” She said puzzled.
” I think she’ll be home tonight to cry and complain, her parents are our in-laws, you first listen to her version. I’ll tell you the real situation.”
“I’m sorry, it has made your job more difficult.”
” This happens often, and the people below will take care of it. I’m busy for now, goodbye.”
She put away the phone and started to work.

William threw the phone on the table in front of him, and looked at Gwen who was by the window indifferently, “Your decision?”
” I want a child! ”
” Okay, then tell me about who was the father of the child on your tummy.”
” I won’t say it! I won’t tell you!”
” Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?”
Gwen turned her head away coldly, “Brother, there are some things you can’t understand, please don’t force me. Our family is capable of raising a child.”
“I don’t want to repeat the thing about Bruce. I don’t think you are qualified to make this decision! If you insist on not telling who that man is, I will arrange for someone to perform the operation for you in two hours!”
“You can’t do this!”
” Do not challenge me again. I’m at my limit. But for the sake that you are my sister, I respect your privacy, these days I will be able to put some things clear, and will not waste my saliva. You will voluntarily tell me soon.”
Gwen trembled with anger and hissed: ” I don’t understand. The social concept is so open now. Ordinary young girls can have children out of wedlock, and they are doing well. Why don’t our family members? We are more capable than them. Why do you care so much about other people’s opinions? How do people think of me and how do you think you are so important?”
“You know how those women unwed be happy? ” He looked at her calmly, “after you gave birth do you think it would be finished? Just like that? You need to nurture the child! Do you think it easy?!”
“Your words are just a hypothesis. I have the ability to make my life better with my children, and I also believe that I can be a good mother. ”
” It seems that you made up your mind to fight against me?”
Gwen showed a touch of delicate smile, ” Brother, you should know me best, you should be the one who understands me and of my choice.”
Seeing her softened, William’s expression also eased.
Gwen’s hand pressed Elisa’s mobile phone number in the pocket of her loose clothes.
Elisa saws that Gwen was calling, so she presses the answer button, “Hello.”
After a short silence on the other end of the phone, Gwen’s voice came.
“The second brother, I know that my decision this time is very willful, but I have only loved one person for so many years. I don’t think I will have another interaction with him in the future, and we cannot have a future. Now there is a chance to be able to Let me have his child, I will not give it up. But brother, have you ever loved anyone? You have been with Natalie for a few years, and you don’t love her either; when she can’t accept the sudden appearance of Bruce, you will Get out and leave; Elisa rescued Bruce, and after Bruce suffered from autism, she was able to accept her by accident, so you married her for Bruce. If one day the sister-in-law did something that did not suit you or did not agree with Bruce, will you divorce her? Brother, you are a businessman, everything is based on your own interests, I can understand. But have you ever thought about the feelings of others? Women should be a supporting role in your life. As long as there is the slightest resistance, is provocative in your authority?”
William looked at her lightly, ” What do you want me to express?”
“Not on me, Elisa, Natalie is your Muppets, now you ruined Winchester; how about my sister-in-law Elisa what would you do to her? Will you ruin also her and her family?”
Elisa didn’t dare to listen to William’s answer and quickly hung up the phone.
She put down the phone, only to find that her forehead and palms were soaked with sweat.
Annie looked at her pale face and said concerned: ” Sister, what’s the matter with you?”
” I’m fine.”
Elisa White stood up to wash her hands. She picked up a cold photographed face, she shuddered.
Then she lifts up her face and looked at the mirror.
As far as her face is concerned, where does she feel confident that William, who is used to seeing all kinds of beautiful women, feels different from her?
She had to let Gwen stimulate her to wake up. She wiped her face rudely and went on to work.
