“I’ll tell you again, it’s best not to ask too many questions about my business.”
Leyla had a smug glint in her eyes: “I guessed that Kirkland Group’s previous stock market crash and the disastrous takeover of its branches must be related to you, and now I guess it’s also related to our cooperation?”
I thought Stephen would be angry jumped, and then bully her not to say out, did not expect Stephen’s expression at the moment instead of more calm, he simply is a look of indifference, and even face is still smiling.
“You go ahead and say it, but where there is one person who believes you, even if I lose.” Stephen said confidently, “At that time, I can hand you over to the police in accordance with the crime of disturbing public order …”
He is indeed right, she has no root two no evidence, why outside people will be able to believe what she said, Stephen is different, his family is big, and a large company behind him, no matter what he did outside, there will be someone willing to protect him.
The two of them didn’t even have a chance to fight each other ah.
Leyla was just about to be discouraged when she turned her mind to the one called Skyler, whom she happened to have met last time. Once a person has a weakness, he or she is no longer infallible, neither is Stephen, and Skyler is his weakness.
She covered Stephen’s wrist pain: “You want to be with Skyler, this is simply unrealistic, Mitchell Group’s chairman, how can admit that his daughter is not a woman, the matter of red, followed by Leon, that person, I have contact with him before, a brain, although not what become a big tool, but at least for Skyler, he still loves and cherishes …”
Stephen didn’t say anything, Leyla continued: “If Mr. Mitchell really agreed to their divorce for the sake of Skyler’s happiness, do you think that Leon, who is a stickler, would give Skyler to you so easily?”
“Leon, I really haven’t been exposed to …”
Leyla reached out and put her hand on Stephen’s shoulder, smiling like a flower: “So why don’t I help you get rid of this Leon so he can’t be an obstacle to you and Skyler being together.”
Stephen narrowed his eyes at her hand on his shoulder, “What do you want?”
Leyla’s fiery red nails are like burning flames: “Don’t worry about the process, the result must satisfy you just fine, as for the reward, no one knows better than you what I need.”
“Just for the money?” Stephen asked, half-heartedly.
Leyla pretended to be pathetic and said, “Ever since I was kicked out by Evan, money has become the most important thing in my life. How can someone like you who has never been short of money understand how important it is to me?”
After this Stephen, when he thought about the incident, hated himself for not slapping Leyla in the face, and hated himself for not asking her what to do.
Skyler this matter, in Dolly’s opinion she can not comment on it, Skyler is his good friend, more or less to help the relatives not to help reason.
But she promised Skyler she was keeping it an absolute secret until she told Leon about it, including Brayden, and she had no intention of saying anything.
Brayden saw that it was inevitable that there were problems between Skyler and Leon, and somehow he decided that something must have been said between Skyler and her.
“She really didn’t say anything to me, so don’t ask me again.” The third time Dolly answered this way, she already felt very powerless with this answer.
Brayden didn’t respond to her this time, his eyes looking through the glass car window to the traffic light in front of him, and his footsteps on the brakes were slow.
Dolly sighed helplessly, her hand squeezing her seatbelt, “She just told me about the many things she and Leon couldn’t fit into their lives …”
“Can’t fit in? I was telling Leon the other day that couples need to bond and accommodate, and you didn’t tell that to Skyler?” Brayden asked.
“Of course I preached it, but you know what Skyler said?” Dolly inclined her head to look at Brayden: “Skyler said that relationships should be about fit, not about changing anything for each other or accommodating each other.”
Brayden momentary speech, this speech in his hearing seems to make sense but also seems to make some sense, as to why it does not make sense, he was not able to say clearly.
“Do you feel the same way I do, wanting to argue back but unable to find a way to do so?” Dolly asked him.
Brayden’s grip on the steering wheel tightened: “If it’s really not suitable, why did you choose to be together in the first place? Now that we’re together, how can you say something like that?”
Dolly replied lightly, “Maybe love at first sight makes both people lose the ability to think, but it never makes life lose the ability to think.”
“So … what does Skyler think, from what you’ve said, she doesn’t seem to have any intention of making nice with Leon.” Brayden started the engine and the car resumed its run on the road.
Dolly’s heart is really too weak, although it has nothing to do with her, but in front of Brayden to hide what still has a feeling of being a thief, she hesitated half a day before stammering: “She … she said… . she wants a divorce.”
Because of the noise on the road and Dolly’s lack of breath and low voice, Brayden did not hear her: “Huh? What?”
“Di… Divorce,” Dolly’s voice finally got a little louder this time.
She clearly felt Brayden’s whole body shake, he immediately pulled over to the side of the road, slowly slammed on the brakes, and took a long time to slow down and ask her, “Divorce? Did you hear that right?”
Dolly shook her head, “I thought I heard wrong at the time too, but that’s really what Skyler said.”
“Leon agreed?” Brayden asked.
Dolly still shook her head, “No, Skyler hasn’t talked to Leon about it yet.”
Brayden actually laughed out loud, but the laugh was very forced and helpless: “Leon will not agree, how can he agree?”
“Brayden, everyone has their own choice, no one has to be with anyone for life, all we can do as outsiders is just respect their choice.” Dolly said so, she can do now, is only not in front of Brayden reveal half of the word about that Stephen.
Dolly is also confused. By doing this, she is keeping her and Skyler’s secret, but is it really right for Leon? Does it really stand up to Leon for all that he has done for her and Brayden?
