Everyone chatted until 9:30. William Brich tried to get the driver to send Ellen Saline and Annie back, but he turned them all away.
“Ronnie and I will each send one, and we didn’t eat your dinner for free. Take this as a favor. Ronnie , do you think so? ”
“Jerry is going to the site tomorrow to inspect. He and Annie are coincidentally on their way. “I drove by Ellen Saline ‘s house on our way home, just take a little detour and everything will be fine.”
Elisa White looked at Annie and Ellen Saline and asked their opinion.
She was not worried about Jerry and Ronnie, but rather whether or not the girls would be uncomfortable.
Annie was a little stingy and nodded her head, “I do not have a problem with it. I have such thick face and I don’t feel embarrassed if I trouble anyone. ”
Ellen Saline nodded slowly, her face slightly flushed as she walked to Ronnie’s side.
After sending the four of them out, Gwen Brich returned to her room.
Bruce then went back to his room to wash up.
There were only Elisa White and William Brich left in the hall.
Elisa White recalled what she had heard in the hospital room during the day . “Tycoon, were you the one who invested the TV show with me as the prototype doctor behind the scenes?”
William Brich smiled at her, “What makes you think that? I did not know you when the movie was done. ”
“Do not tell me you are not in it at all now?”
William Brich stroked her soft hair. “I just did something romantic but unfortuantelly found by you. It’s really disappointing.”
Elisa White hugged his waist excitedly, “Tycoon, I feel so blessed.”
“Go take a bath. You’ll see the effects tomorrow. ”
“Is it a website live show?”
“Yes.” I saw the original script and screening a few days ago, so I knew you were the main character in the film. ”
“When was the original script written?”
“Early last year.”
“That’s about the same time Hansor was hospitalized.” Elisa White stroked his face, “I am so charming.”
William Brich was amused by her witty tone, “Why else would I propose to you after making love to you a few times?”
Elisa White laughed, “That’s true.”
After Elisa White finished speaking, s he ran up the stairs bouncing.
Inside the car.
Ellen Saline watched Ronnie drive past the chaotic village in the city and turned her head.
Ronnie noticed her movements, “Are we arriving?”
“Soon. Mr. Ronnie , I am going to ask you to stop at the Alexander Queen shopping center. ”
“You live there?”
Ellen Saline hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head slightly.
Ronnie saw her cautious look, but said nothing. He stopped the car at the entrance to the department store in the Alexander Queen Shopping Center.
Ellen Saline picked up her canvas bag, “Thank you for driving me home tonight, I’ll go down first.”
“Be careful on your way.”
“Yes, yes.” Ellen Saline showed a cautious and shy smile.
Ronnie looked at Ellen Saline ‘s smile under the dim yellow light and became absent-minded for a moment.
Her smile was very similar to Joey’s from the past.
Back then, Joey was clean, pure, and like a ray of sunshine, bright but not over shining.
During that time, Ronnie had often thought of the Joey from his student days.
To revenge on Joey, he had once arranged a bunch of young and beautiful girls to make Joey envious, and had even found his average-looking boyfriend to bargain. In front of this man, he said that Joey had made love with him and even abort his child.
The man slapped him and still held the wedding ceremony with Joey as planned.
When Ronnie saw the smile on Joey’s face when they exchanged the wedding ring, he finally realized that he had really lost Joey.
She had done everything she could for him as a woman, and she had turned away resolutely and never turned back.
She was probably really disappointed with him.
Ronnie did not understand. He had held out for so many years, why could not he have a good end? The person he wanted to marry could only be Joey.
But Joey was not waiting for him.
She did not want to wait any longer.
Ronnie did not want to understand such a simple logic. He just wanted to play dumb and mess up Joey’s current life.
Ellen Saline saw that Ronnie’s face was growing darker. “Mr. Ronnie, are you all right?” she asked anxiously.
Ronnie came back to himself, “I am fine.”
“Then I’ll be going now. Goodbye.”
Ronnie nodded and looked up Ellen Saline.
Ellen Saline walked on slowly, hoping that Ronnie would call her or give her her cell phone number.
But Ronnie did not even call her when she entered the Alexander Queen department store.
Disappointment spread through Ellen Saline.
William Brich’s friends were definitely rich and powerful, Ronnie looked like he was nothing less rich than William Brich.
She had once envied Elisa White that she had married William Brich, and hoped that one day she would love a man like that.
Ronnie’s image and wealth were much better than she had imagined. She wanted to make plans for herself.
She had done a lot for her family over the years, so it was time she prepared for her future.
With that in mind, Ellen Saline walked to the back door of Alexander’s Queen’s department store and walked a few streets away, returning to the seedy village in the city.
She looked at the tenement in which she lived with a strange calm.
She did not mind that she did not have a good life now. She would not steal or rob. She would work hard and live a respectable life. She would have her happy days.
Ellen Saline ran upstairs.
Just as she reached her floor, Ellen Saline noticed something was wrong.
The dim yellow streetlight was on.
Two unfriendly men were standing in front of her door.
One of the men addressed her, “You are Ellen Saline?”
“Who are you?” Ellen Saline looked at the two warily.
“Erwan is your younger brother?”
Ellen Saline swallowed her saliva. She wanted to deny it, but when she saw the scar on the man’s face, she nodded fearfully.
The man with the knife scar took out a piece of paper and threw it in front of Ellen Saline, “Look for yourself!”
Ellen Saline had a bad feeling about this. She trembled as she crouched down and picked up the piece of paper.
In the bottom right corner of the paper was Erwan’s name and a bright red print.
“Erwan owes us $300, 000 and he said you can help him pay it back.”
“I do not have any money!”
“It’s up to you whether you have money or not. We need to see the money in a week or you can just wait and pick up his dead body. ”
“You can kill him now!” roared Ellen Saline without thinking.
The positive and peaceful feelings she had almost poured out of her heart had been dispelled by the three hundred thousand punch in front of her. The anger in her heart was something she could not control.
The two men had not expected the weak looking Ellen Saline to be so persistent.
The man with the knife scars laughed wickedly, “Look at you, you are a woman, I do not want to threaten you with unpleasant words.” If you do not behave, we have a thousand ways to make your life worse than death. As long as the money is not paid, your brother will die and you will not get away. Then you have to choose whether you like to be raped by several men or be sold as a sex slave! ”
Ellen Saline shook with anger, his voice trembling, “Go! All of you, go!”
The man and his companion looked at each other and said, “We will be back in a week at this time. Do not use any tricks! ”
After speaking, they walked away briskly.
