I saw the regret in his eyes. He added. “After that happened, my parents targeted Flora, and she was very sad. In order to not make me feel uncomfortable, she went to my uncle to talk to him. During that time, my uncle gave protection to Flora, which I couldn’t accept. But his unilateral efforts didn’t get Flora’s emotional return. At that time, Flora was very dependent on my uncle, but she firmly said that she didn’t love him.”
When I heard this, I was angry and unhappy. “Flora was just fooling Cheney.”
Flora’s behavior for Cheney is not full of goodwill in itself. She didn’t like Cheney, but in her heart, he just used it for personal interest.
Is Cheney willing to know everything? Now that it is hard to confess because I finally know how much he loves Flora. This is just bullshit.
Rashad’s eyebrows raise, “Don’t say that, she didn’t regard uncle as a big head. At that time, she just habitually relied on him.”
“Is it?” I don’t bother to smile. “Then how did they find out that they really loved each other?”
“I broke Flora’s heart.”
He sighed, “In the second year with Flora, I really couldn’t stand turning my good friend into my girlfriend, so I often lost my temper inexplicably. Flora endured it until one day, she saw me get drunk in a bar and come out with a female model in my arms. That day, she scolded me for the first time. She said, she is not afraid because I do not love her, because she can give me time, and can wait for me, but she really can’t stand my self-indulgence.
He added. “At that time, she broke up with me directly. When she returned to Fischer’s mansion, she began to pack her bags and planned to leave. After all, we lived under the same big roof, and we always looked down and didn’t see each other. After Flora left, uncle stopped her at the airport. Flora said that they wanted to go out for fun, so they left together. After they came back from staying outside for more than half a month, uncle announced to the Fischer family that Flora is his girlfriend now, so everyone must respect her in the future.”
Rashad said, “In our relationship, I failed Flora after all. However, Flora didn’t hate me because of this. After being with my uncle for some time, she took the initiative to find me and had a heart-to-heart talk. She said that she didn’t hate me but thanked me because I hurt her, and finally figured out something. When uncle accompanied her to go out for fun, she found that she could leave me, but she couldn’t leave uncle. Perhaps the dependence on uncle is true love. And I gave them a blessing.”
I was stunned, silent, and didn’t make a move. So, I asked. “Then what does it have to do with you if she had an accident later?”
“My dad calculated uncle, and Flora knew about this. Flora had to rush to inform uncle. As a result, on her way to uncle, the car she drove had an accident and fell into the cliff,” Rashad said, shaking his head. “In fact, my dad was aiming at Flora from the beginning. He didn’t see the happiness of uncle, so he wanted to destroy Flora and make uncle suffer, and he… really succeeded.”
“Your dad committed a crime. Why didn’t Cheney sue him?” I said with displeasure.
“That’s my own dad,” Rashad looked at me. “Although he did all kinds of evil to deal with Grandpa, I know that everything he wants to fight for now is for me. Knowing his purpose, how can I tell my uncle about this?”
I disdain “He did it just to prevent your uncle from being happy. What does it have to do with helping you fight for your family property?”
“Of course, if uncle goes wrong, the board of directors will impeach him. When the time comes, the Fischer group changes hands, and he is the best choice.” He shook his head. “Those things in the board are not as simple as you think. I know clearly that since my dad decided to do it, he would not do it himself. He would not leave something behind and let uncle take it. Over the years, I have been suffering because I concealed this matter.”
I don’t understand and asked, “Then why didn’t Flora tell your uncle when she woke up?”
“Flora is so simple, I’m afraid, and I didn’t know her reason until now. She has been calculated about that. Moreover, Flora likes to calm down. Even if she knows that my dad is killing her, she just keeps her mouth shut to uncle. She always says that she is unwilling to trouble her uncle.”
After he said those words, he looked at me, “I told you everything. Now you should know why I am so kind to Flora. I really owe her too much. Because of the relationship between my grandfather, dad, my uncle, Flora, and Uncle Jacob, I owe her a lot.” He smiled bitterly.
I looked at him. Surprised for knowing the truth, these things have nothing to do with Rashad. His so-called debt is just taking the blame for his father. Now I can understand why he used to play around. He is balancing his relationship with Cheney and his father in this way. He didn’t want to hurt anyone, so he chose to give up on himself.
But what is his current behavior of suppressing his father after building a company outside? I don’t quite understand this point. Of course, if I don’t understand, I won’t ask him.
After all, this has nothing to do with me. “The feud between you has nothing to do with me. I won’t be willing to live with you because I know this. Rashad, you should make up for your debts instead of dragging innocent people and helping them with you. I don’t owe you anything.”
He looked at me. “But now, you are involved between the three of us, Krista. You are no longer my uncle’s wife. I am qualified to pursue you now. I said I like you from the bottom of my heart. This is the first time in my life that I have confessed to a woman. Do you believe it?”
I swallowed my saliva and looked at the distant seaside. “If I believe it or not, it doesn’t matter. I just want to tell you one thing.”
I looked at him sideways, and my eyes were calm. “You are qualified to say that you like me, and I am qualified to say that I don’t like you.”
“What about my uncle? Do you like him?”
Do I like him? I… I don’t know, but every time I think of Cheney, my heartfelt difference.
