Bonnie Brown closed her eyes. Ben Brown used her as a pawn and plaything from beginning to end, not even a partner or staff. Who is she qualified to know too much?
Can’t stay with this kind of person, she must and will leave!
In the evening.
Emma Rosy and Alex Brown snuggled up at the bedside, looking out at the end of the day, and they were still silent.
Until, knocking on the door broke the warm peace.
The courier sent a parcel and repeatedly checked Emma Rosy’s certificate before asking her to sign for it. ”
Emma Rosy didn’t think anyone else would send this kind of thing. “Could it be…”
As soon as she showed a suspicious expression, Alex Brown instantly guessed her mind. He shook his head funny and helpless: “It should be impossible. Even if it is a city express delivery, it will be checked before delivery, unless the courier just now is fake.”
“Look at me, I was probably scared by Marisa Miller’s actions a few years ago.” Emma Rosy smiled embarrassedly, then carefully cut the seal of the carton with a fruit knife and took out the contents.
A letter, a piece of jade wrapped in glasses cloth.
“This…” At the moment of seeing the jade, Emma Rosy quickly condensed water mist in her eyes, covered her mouth and quivered: “This is the jade I have been wearing since I was born!”
Unexpectedly, what was once lost is now back.
She hurriedly opened the letter and couldn’t wait to know who the jade had fallen into and how the other party had found her.
There is only one sentence on the stationery.
-The relics of Richard Group and his wife have now been returned. If you want to find an insider, come to the old residential area 20 miles west of the city and meet you tonight.
Is this jade a relic of parents? Who is the other party and why does it claim to be an insider? Is there still something hidden in the death of parents many years ago?
Emma Rosy has a series of questions in her mind. Even if she wants to leave for the old residential area, Alex Brown thinks that the other party is unknown. It is very likely that Marisa Darcyset up a bureau, and advised her to be calm and make a conclusion after investigation.
“Impossible! This jade is my father’s secret, outsiders will not know at all, please let me go, the letter said only tonight!” Emma Rosy burst into tears and begged
Alex Brown couldn’t bear to see her like this. He turned around and said, “But you are hurt…”
“I will be careful, no matter what happens, I promise to take good care of myself!” Emma Rosy wiped away tears at will and looked up at him sadly: “As long as you let me go, I will listen to you. If I find danger there, I will not insist, OK? Really please Alex!”
About Aarn Richard’s death, Alex Brown also have doubts, right now is indeed a good opportunity, in case he misses may not be able to find the truth again for the rest of his life. And with Emma Rosy’s character, even if he stops for a moment, this night will certainly not be calm.
Quickly made a trade-off, he finally let go: “Remember your promise, I’ll take you there.”
It was the evening rush hour, and the main road had been blocked for over an hour. By the time they reached the old residential area, the night sky had long been dotted with stars, and there were not even street lights in the small residential area.
“Miss Emma Rosy?”
Emma Rosy’s whole body shivered, and before she could react, Alex Brown had already spoken first: “Who?”
The flashlight beam lit up, a wrinkled face appeared above the column of light, revealing some eerie and gruesome taste.
“This must be Alex Brown, Mr. Brown?” Listen to the other party’s tone, seems to be not hostile to Alex Brown’ arrival, but also vaguely some sneer: “I know you, more than five years ago you nearly killed Miss Richard, but afterwards in pursuit of her.”
“Cut the crap, since you asked us to come here, why don’t you introduce yourself?” Alex Brown has always been very aggressive when dealing with people who are unknown to him.
The other party really did not say any more nonsense, directly gave a name: “Bruce Shao, if Miss Richard still remember this name, please follow me upstairs.” Bruce Shao, Emma Rosy kept recalling this name in her mind as she ascended the old, dimly lit staircase.
She remembered it, but the memory seemed to be fogged over until she entered the house of less than sixty square meters and received a yellowing photograph, then a clear image came to her mind.
The photo was taken in a sunflower garden, with her parents standing in the center, smiling happily, and the young man next to them, wearing a straw hat and holding a hoe, was the man in front of her.
“Bruce Shao, Shao assistant …” Emma Rosy’s eyes lit up with sudden surprise: “You are Uncle Shao, right?!”
Aarn Richard founded the company at the beginning, Bruce Shao is his assistant, named assistant is actually a brother, but later she did not know what happened, he suddenly disappeared, his father had sent people around to look for, but in the end, but no end. And she also grew up with each day, gradually forget about it.
“Miss finally remembered.” Bruce Shao pursed his lips and smiled.
Alex Brown has been investigating the truth of Aarn Richard’s death for many years, and naturally knew the existence of this assistant, and when he saw Emma Rosy recognized him, his suspicion and vigilance subsided, and he calmly asked: “After many years of separation, why don’t you tell the truth about what happened before? ”
“It starts with a mission eleven years ago …”
Eleven years ago in the summer, the Richard Group had a sudden financial problem, the investigation learned that there is a spy within the group, but in addition, they do not know the true identity of the spy and the power behind.
At that time, Aarn Richard was surrounded by enemies on all sides and had to send Bruce Shao to investigate secretly, but he never expected that once he left, he never looked back.
“Richard and I thought that the spy was sent by a rival company and that it would not take much time to find out who was behind it, but as I investigated, I found that everything was more mysterious and scary than I thought.
Halfway through the investigation, Bruce Shao received several anonymous emails.
The letters detailed the beginning of the funding crisis, and all the evidence pointed to him!
He knew it was a long-planned setup, but his determination to find the truth didn’t waver until a phone call and a car accident later, which sent him to hell in a few days.
“If you tell a lie once, no one will believe it, but if you repeat it a few more times, it will become the truth sooner or later. You and Aarn Richard, no matter how close you are, are not blood brothers after all, not to mention that stories of brother against brother are common in history, how many lives do you have to bet on his trust?”
Bruce Shao leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and looked tired: “I have never forgotten a word of that man’s words, and they were the words that changed my destiny.”
“If I hadn’t died then, a car accident two days later scared me completely.” Bruce Shao leaned over and slowly lifted his pant leg, revealing a prosthetic leg that was crudely made and made of materials that had long been abandoned by medical organizations: “I could die, but what about the daughter at home who had just lost her mother and was waiting for me to raise her?”
He was afraid, in the face of absolute strength, he trembled and buried himself in the dirt, hiding in the noisy and low-class marketplace, and disappeared for a full eleven years.
It turns out that this is the truth of his disappearance, not sinister and lowly, not heroic, just filled with full of helplessness, and fistful of love for his daughter.
“Uncle Shao, where is your daughter?” Emma Rosy looked around the one-room house, the layout and decor did not resemble the presence of a girl.
Speaking of his daughter, Bruce Shao’s face, which seemed to have been eroded by the sand and could hardly express his feelings any more, actually showed an uncontrollable pain.
“After I found the hiding place, I have been silently collecting information about Richard Group, and I wanted to warn you to be careful, but shortly after I left, I received a phone call from a neighbor on the way.”
The little girl who called her father, in the ten minutes he was gone, disappeared …
For half an hour, Bruce Shao lay motionless on his desk. Emma Rosy knew that he didn’t want others to see his pain, so she was considerate and sat on the sofa with Alex Brown, looking through the relics left by her parents.
Aarn Richard and Bruce Shao have a tacit understanding of cooperation for many years. Feeling that their time is running out, they deposited their relics in a small teahouse where they often go, which is probably a rare pity of God. This relic finally fell back to Emma Rosy.
“Miss.” Bruce Shao walked to the coffee table. There were no tears in his red eyes, but the white hair on his sideburns seemed to be more: “Your grandfather Master Wright, how is he?”
The news of Master Wright’s cerebral hemorrhage and coma has been tightly sealed. It is not surprising that Bruce Shao didn’t know it, but it is strange that why did he ask about it?
“Master Wright is kind-hearted and secretly helps Miss. Richard’s career. In order to protect his old man’s face, Miss. Richard can’t come to thank him, so she often sends me some gifts to express her gratitude. After I lived in seclusion at the beginning, thanks to his hand, Richard Group survived the crisis.” When it comes to Master Wright, Bruce Shao shows great respect in his speech.
When Emma Rosy heard this, she couldn’t help choking: “Grandpa, he… he is very ill.”
Knowing about Master Wright, Bruce Shao immediately offered to visit him. Emma Rosy asked Alex Brown for his opinion, and after reaching an agreement, he was taken back to Wright Family.
“It’s too late today. You should rest in the guest room first, and we will go to the hospital together tomorrow.”
In the corridor on the second floor of the old house, Emma Rosy explained the reason to Bruce Shao. Joe Wright and Eva Taylor in the study heard the sound and came out to see a stranger, which made them look blank.
After learning about Bruce Shao’s identity, Joe Wright immediately raised respect, while Bruce Shao was more wary of him and seemed to worry that he coveted the property of Wright Family.
Emma Rosy saw the clue and took the initiative to express her relationship with Joe Wright, hoping Bruce Shao would not misunderstand. Eva Taylor also said without paying attention: “That’s right, Joe is so capable that Taylor’s family business may need his help. He doesn’t have time to argue with Emma, does he?”
Joe Wright was embarrassed, but it was funny to hear it. He clapped Eva Taylor’s head and told her not to talk nonsense.
Obviously, it didn’t work, but Eva Taylor kept shouting pain like cheating, and almost woke Keira who was asleep.
The appearance of the three people laughing and making out was completely a family. Bruce Shao realized that he was worried too much and apologized for the disrespect just now. Everyone didn’t take it to heart at all, so naturally he wouldn’t mind.
Midnight has passed, and a long and busy day is finally drawing to a close.
Emma Rosy collapsed on the bed with her head leaning against Alex Brown’ arms. After a long sigh, she asked him weakly, “When will these things be completely over? I am really tired. Now I just want to live a plain life, even if I don’t have much money and status and prestige, the family will live together safely and happily.”
She wants to settle down as soon as possible, so does Alex Brown?
“Soon.” Alex Brown gently caressed her shoulder and looked at the stars outside the window, as if he saw the near future: “When Hope and Keira grow up after dealing with the immediate crisis, let them take over They companies. If it’s too late, Joe and Eric Chan are also good choices. If it’s too late, let Randall Harrah take advantage of it. Anyway, we are no longer busy.”
Emma Rosy burst out laughing: “Is it really possible? That would be great. We will move to a farther place.”
“Good, all listen to you! How about we go to … and build a house on the beach.”
Thinking of a better future, both of them were so excited that even their sleepiness disappeared for a few minutes, but then Alex Brown’ cell phone suddenly rang.
Ivy Smith’s name flashed on the screen, and the laughter was cut off as if it were an ingredient on a plate.
Emma Rosy’s mood instantly sank, but she was able to sympathize with Alex Brown’ busy business schedule and graciously waved her hand, “Just leave if you have an emergency, I’ll just design the house alone, you listen to me anyway.”
Alex Brown touched her cheek, didn’t get up, and pressed the call button directly.
Across the phone, Ivy Smith’s anxious tone revealed a few hints of shock: “Both Ben Brown and Bonnie Brown are missing, and Ben Brown’ wheelchair wasn’t taken away, according to the housekeeper and maid, he was … he was walking out of the Brown Family as a normal person!”
Despite the flawless hospitalization data to testify, the current situation is also completely in Alex Brown expected, he calmly reassured: “no need to rush, since they removed the disguise, we wait for him to take the initiative is, save the work of testing, we should be happy.”
“So you have long been prepared.” Ivy Smith exhaled deeply, and her heart finally fell to the ground.
Before hanging up, Alex Brown instructed, “Send someone to protect Keira and Hope in secret, with Ben Brown’ poisonous character, to prevent him from playing dirty tricks.”
In times of crisis, Alex Brown protects Keira as a father’s instinct, but she did not expect that he remembered to protect Hope.
Emma Rosy lifted her arm around his neck and hung on to him, smiling as she tilted her head and joked, “You seem to have really accepted Hope, and that’s commendable!”
Alex Brown is not a petty person, not to mention that after learning about Hope’s life, he also felt compassionate.
“Don’t worry, sooner or later, I will make Hope willingly call me dad!” He raised his eyebrows, quite confident.
Inside a secret residence somewhere in the city, Ben Brown is still working on his plan, intent on driving them to extinction.
Marisa Darcystood in front of Ben Brown, obviously fierce and vicious at heart, but when she was gazed at by that strange gaze, it was as if she was a frog being stared at by a natural enemy, and actually a sense of fear flooded from her heart that she had nowhere to hide, and her body was stiff and hard to move.
“Not curious about who I am?” Ben Brown hooked his lips, smile proud and contemptuous, belongs to the superior: “Two years ago you scurry around like a rat, if not for my help, you have no chance to fall into the hands of Abbott Hawk.”
Although Marisa Darcywas saved by Abbott Hawk, she had received a huge sum of money from overseas.
“Did you ask him to save me?” Marisa Darcyquestioned with a frown, then shook her head with a sneer: “So what if it was you? I may have left a life behind, but the way I look now, it’s no different from being dead!”
Ben Brown knew that she was still hating Abbott Hawk for blinding her in one eye, and then trying to kill her, so he spoke softly and reassuringly: “I’ve already dealt with him to avenge you, so you can stay here in peace.”
Stay?
Hatred and revenge have numbed Marisa Miller’s mind, she simply does not understand the purpose of Ben Brown’ move, not to mention his calculations. The only thing that came to mind was the benefit of her remaining womanhood.
Is it possible that Ben Brown’ tastes are as special as Abbott Hawk’s?
Marisa Darcysmiled delicately, twisted her body and walked slowly towards Ben Brown, raised her hand and dropped her delicate fingers on his cheek: “How can I repay your kindness?”
The tip of the finger before touching the skin, has been clutched by Ben Brown, he is also smiling, but clearly does not contain any feelings: “I have recently worked hard, go back to rest first, you and I will be long.”
The words were nice, but how could Marisa Darcynot understand that this was a disguised order of eviction?
She walked out of the study in a huff and ran into Bonnie Brown, who was serving snacks: “What does your father mean? He saved my life, doesn’t … have anything to ask for?”
