“Hey, Maria, don’t be so distant. I am great in bed, if you don’t believe me, you can try it yourself.”
As the number one ranked gigolo in Vintage Club, he seemed very confident in his abilities.
After saying that, seeing Maria still resisting, he became even more determined and continued to speak softly, “You can sleep with me for free!”
“Just go on. If Miss Weaver comes and sees our intimacy, guess what will happen to you?”
As soon as he said that, the man’s face changed and he quickly retracted his hand with an embarrassed smile.
“You are too naive, my dear girl. I am just joking with you. I am devoted to Miss Weaver.”
“Why don’t you say all this to your Miss Weaver and get out!”
Elsa was known in the circle for her love of playing and her generous spending.
But she also had one terrifying principle – only she could initiate a breakup!
If she found out that the man she was keeping was secretly seeing other women during their relationship, she would make sure he became a eunuch!
There was once a man who, because his family was in need of money, secretly found another rich woman behind Elsa’s back. After Elsa found out, the man never appeared again.
It was said that she was so terrifying and domineering because she had been hurt by a man before.
That man stood her up at their wedding and tried to escape.
Shortly after the man left, Elsa entered in a grand manner. She found a chair and sat down, propping her legs up arrogantly, looking down at the woman in front of her.
“You can’t even protect yourself, why do you have the courage to meddle in others’ affairs? I really don’t know who gave you the audacity.”
Maria replied calmly, “As women, there is no need to be so cruel to each other. Besides, as a doctor, it is my duty to treat her as a patient.”
Elsa found Maria’s response amusing, and her laughter, like the sound of bells, could be heard from outside the door.
“Maria, do you think you’re a savior? If you were truly a virtuous person, why would you participate in my plan?”
“Once you’ve chosen to be a bad person, you can never turn back! The people outside won’t accept you just because you’ve done one good deed.”
Maria never saw herself as either a good person and a bad one, she was only helping Elsa because she wanted to avenge her deceased sister.
Saving that girl earlier was just because they looked similar.
“I never thought about gaining their approval, I just want to follow my own heart, that’s all!”
Elsa clasped her hands together and absentmindedly played with them, her expression cold and contemptuous, as if reminiscing about something.
Her eyes were filled with hatred, as if emerald flames were slowly rising.
“It’s really ridiculous that in this world, not only do you need power, but you also need money. Even so, you can never truly do as you please.”
“Forget it, why am I telling you all this? You’re an orphan, with no power or influence. You have just a pretty face, but never enjoyed the benefits of wealth.”
“Let’s get back to business, you’ve been exposed now, and I’ll arrange for you to leave the country tonight.”
Maria knew that she had been exposed, but she had no intention of leaving the country because she had grown up abroad.
This place was her homeland, and even if she were to die, she wanted to die here!
Moreover, her parents and her only sister were buried in this land. This would be Maria’s final resting place!
“No need, I’m not leaving.”
Upon hearing this, Elsa immediately lost interest in admiring herself. She put her hand down and propped her cheek up with one hand instead.
“You’re not leaving, do you want to stay and die? You know very well what awaits you.”
It was either prison with iron bars and iron windows, or eternal silence!
Elsa would definitely not allow the former to happen.
As for the latter, if Maria insisted, she wouldn’t mind giving her a one-way ticket.
However, Maria simply wanted to stay in prison for only four or five years. After all, the mastermind was Miss Weaver.
“I know, I’m not leaving… I have something very important to finish. But don’t worry, I won’t say a word about our deal.”
“Is that so? Why should I believe you?”
The police were currently searching for Maria, and they would probably arrive here soon.
Her original plan was to take Maria out of the Vintage Club under the guise of an auction and then arrange for a private plane to send her to Dragon Serpent Isle.
No one knew that there was a prison on the island, and once Maria arrived, there would be no way for her to escape. This was the only way to permanently remove any future trouble.
Unfortunately, Maria was not cooperating with her plan right now.
Maria didn’t want to leave because she still had two unfinished matters.
First, she had used Quinn’s feelings for her over the years, and no matter what, she needed to explain to him that she had never loved him.
She wanted him to move on and find a suitable girl.
Second, she had read Mikaela’s confession letter regarding Sean.
Actually, before seeing this letter, she had always believed that Mikaela had committed suicide because she was too heartbroken after breaking up with Sean.
But when she secretly returned to her old house yesterday and found the letter behind a photo frame left by her sister, she realized that she had misunderstood Sean. He was never the one who drove her sister to suicide.
Yesterday, she even deceived him and helped Elsa abduct his niece.
When Sean found out that Maria had also been involved in all this, he would probably be very disappointed in her.
Maria could never forget that sunny corridor, the warm summer morning, and the young boy running towards her with sweat on his forehead, worried about her injuries.
That was a scene that Maria could only glimpse from her sister’s diary.
Mikaela once said that she truly realized she was in love with Sean during that summer.
On that day, she had a stomachache because she had gotten her period, but she had an important final exam coming up. She couldn’t afford to mess it up.
After finding out about her situation, Sean gave up his own exam and went to a small restaurant outside the school. He begged the owner to make a ginger soup and sent it to her.
The sunlight that day was warm, the breeze was gentle, and the boy running against the wind had sweat pouring down his head, his eyes still showing dark circles from staying up late.
The ginger soup in his hand was still warm when she drank it, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
It was clear how much Sean cared about her, even if he missed the final exam and became the laughingstock of the whole school.
He only cared about whether his girlfriend had achieved first place again, and he was already thinking about what kind of gift he should prepare for her.
Maria suddenly realized that that deeply memorable love did not belong to her, but to her sister, Mikaela.
She had unknowingly fallen into it as well.
After all, Sean was indeed a very warm person.
But her current problem was how to get out of this room. Elsa was dominating and suspicious, selfish and cruel.
Defying her usually meant only death.
