Seeing her look of exasperation, Bonnie Brown guessed what had happened and bowed her head haughtily, but the corners of her mouth curled up in a sneer.
“Dad’s heart, no one can enter, and even more no one can guess it.”
With those words, Bonnie Brown dropped Marisa Darcyand walked straight into the study.
Ben Brown saw her and was very impatient.
“Do what I told you before as soon as possible, make Charles Taylor lose his conscience and turn into a revenge machine, so that my plan can be foolproof.” Ben Brown waved his hand in annoyance and shooed her away.
Bonnie Brown nodded her head in response and walked out of the study without looking back.
The next morning.
Emma Rosy walks him out the door, watching the back of the car disappear into the morning light, and suddenly feels that after this difficult time, everything will really be over.
As Emma Rosy had expected, Alex Brown is besieged by many partners who want to cancel the contract even if they have to pay compensation.
After dealing with everything, he came into the office with a smile on his face and urged Eric Chan to prepare for the bankruptcy as soon as possible and do a final inventory.
Ivy Smith leaned over her desk with a cup of coffee and sighed with a slight sense of loss, “I don’t know whether to be happy or sad that the day of departure is coming sooner than I thought.”
Alex Brown naturally heard her words, but between wise people, never have to say too much, so with a joking tone, reminded: “Private think, you should first check Paul Johnson.”
He has been alone in Africa for a long time, what if he is charmed by a black beauty?
Ivy Smith also followed Alex Brown’ words and laughed, “I think there is no need to investigate it, if he has any problems, you must know faster than I do.”
Since she had helped Paul Johnson escape and kept in touch with him afterwards, Alex Brown had sent someone to find out what happened to him.
Alex Brown curbed his smile and emerged with a serious look: “Now, I can only wish you happiness. If you encounter difficulties outside, there will always be a harbor for you here, and Emma and I will always stand behind you.”
Ivy Smith smiled helplessly and changed the subject, “With the company’s bankruptcy looming, I’ll help you take care of everything and then leave.”
She looked at Alex Brown with a raised eyebrow, because it was clear at the beginning of the partnership that the bottom line of her help was not to involve herself, and that she could withdraw at any time in case of crisis, and now that the battle for Brown Group was coming to a final battle, she should have saved herself.
Why she would change her mind, both of them understand, and because of this, Alex Brown can not agree more.
“Rules are meant to be followed. The flight is tonight, and for the sake of confidentiality, I’m sorry I can’t see you off.”
There were no tears, no lamentations, he just gave her a blessing and a “can’t see you off”, simple and polite and indifferent, as if they had met for the first time, and as if she had parted briefly on every mission for the past two years.
But this time, it could be goodbye forever …
“Thanks.” After thanking him, she put down her coffee cup, stood up and left the office without looking back.
Eric Chan then walked in and saw Alex Brown without a trace of sadness, although he did not have much affection for Ivy Smith, but he could not help but sigh: Mr. Brown is distant and cold, all the tenderness in his life was given to his former wife, oh no, should soon be the current wife.
“What are you sighing about?” Behind the desk, Alex Brown sips his coffee and asks slowly.
“Nothing … nothing!” Eric Chan fiercely sucked in a breath of cold air, hastily put away the heart of gossip, said squarely: “I was just thinking, in the future she is not in, your body is afraid that no one to take care of.”
Ivy Smith was a replacement for Tina Everard, but as an international business spy, she received a variety of training, medical skills are naturally one of the major items, after all, when running for their lives, not always have good luck to find a hospital.
Alex Brown certainly considered it, but he couldn’t give Ivy Smith what she wanted, so naturally he couldn’t keep her locked away forever.
“There are still a few potions left from the last shipment, it will last for a while, besides Emma is also a doctor, she will take care of me.”
In the hidden basement of the manor, a beam of sunlight spilled down from the circular skylight overhead, enveloping a chain-linked iron cage.
The area of activity inside the iron cage was quite large, furnished with lunch, fruit, wine and even a TV, but unfortunately the person inside always remained in the same position, huddled in the corner.
“Clang! Clang!”
The baseball bat hit the edge of the cage and made a deafening sound. Candy Hall’s whole body trembled, holding her huge belly and slowly turning sideways, her face, which had not seen sunlight for many days, was white, and her eyes, covered with red blood, were even more scarlet and horrible.
However, when she looked at the person standing outside, instead became more fearful of that one.
“How can you … …”
Seeing her look as if she had seen a ghost, Marisa Darcywas full of triumph: “You want to ask how I haunted you again, don’t you? Hahaha, that’s how brilliant I am, you are destined to be played like a mouse in the palm of my hand, to be my slave, never to change!”
“No–” Candy Hall covered her ears and screamed.
She could be put in a guardhouse and be looked at in disdain, she could be caged like a dog, but she could not fall into the hands of Marisa Darcyagain, never!
“Scream, as loud as you can, and see who comes to your rescue!” Marisa Miller, who loved to enjoy the pain of others, saw this and deliberately stuck the baseball bat into the gap and poked Candy Hall in the back.
Candy Hall, with a jolt, struggled to get up from the ground, and continued to scream and hide in the far corner, while Marisa Darcysneered and chased after her, playing the game of cat and mouse.
At this moment, the horrible iron cage has become Candy Hall’s umbrella, although she can not get out, but Marisa Darcycan not enter, for her, this is the best gift …
The basement was filled with shrieks and laughter, not long after, a low voice came from the door.
“Have you had enough?”
Ben Brown stood with his arms folded, his narrowed eyes taking on a hint of a smile.
Candy Hall seems to have found a savior, she fell down the side of the cage frantically waved at him: “Save me … please save me!”
When Candy Hall was threatened by Marisa Darcyand stabbed Emma Rosy, she was immediately caught by the police. Fortunately, because of the child, she was transferred to the detention center and then sent to the hospital on medical parole, and Ben Brown’ people picked the right moment to bring her from one prison to another.
But no matter what, she could endure anything to get away from Marisa Miller!
Ben Brown looked at her casually, paused for a few seconds on her bloodstained maternity dress, turned his head and ordered the maid to call a doctor, then stepped forward and took Marisa Darcyby the shoulders, leaving with a flourish.
In the study, Ben Brown placed Marisa Darcyon the sofa and said, “It’s just a dog with a baby, why bother with her? When this is over, I’ll give her to you as a gift, okay?”
After living here for more than half a month, the food and clothing were all of the highest quality, and the servants were exceptionally respectful, but Marisa Darcywas not a fool, she could feel that, apart from the superficial lifestyle difference, she was actually in the same situation as Candy Hall, just a confined or even captive pet!
To say she was a pet was too nice, she wasn’t even sure if she was favored, after all this time, Ben Brown hadn’t even touched her, and she knew nothing about the so-called “plan”!
“Enough Ben Brown, stop talking nonsense, let’s open up to the truth, are you interested in me or not, and what is the reason for keeping me here? Marisa Darcywas never one to control her emotions, and after days of repression, she naturally exploded with great power.
Of course, in front of Ben Brown, her power is no different from that of a child clamoring for candy.
“Look at you, you’re so hot-tempered.” Ben Brown took her hand and rubbed it delicately, then with a sudden push, he pulled her to his body, his lips slightly hooked: “But I like it!”
“Mr. Brown, if you really like me, you should be willing to help me, right?” She slowly squatted down, in a very seductive position, lying on Ben Brown’ lap, the tip of her tongue swept over her lips, her eyes flowing with an ambiguous light smile: “There is someone who has repeatedly humiliated me, you must not want me to be aggrieved, right?”
“This …” fearing her suspicion, Ben Brown pretended to hesitate, frowning and pondering: “Stay with me, to ensure that the rest of your life is rich and prosperous, before those dogs in the way, what do you care about them? Hmm?”
“No!”
Seeing that he did not say yes, Marisa Darcyimmediately anxious, shaking his arm endlessly pampered, if not for the door is still open, probably the next second to remove the dress “frankly”.
He got along with this kind of woman for a long time, there will be a disgusting feeling, Ben Brown patience for a moment, and quickly let go: “Since so … well, what you want to do will just go to do, I will help you after.”
“Honey, you’re wonderful!” Finally getting the promise she wanted, Marisa Darcywas overjoyed and rushed towards Ben Brown, looking like she wanted to give her life to him.
At that moment, Ben Brown’ cell phone rang just at the right time.
He says he has business to attend to, and finally chases the greasy woman away.
After closing the door, he leisurely pressed off the phone, returned to the sofa and rubbed his temples: “Come out.”
Behind the desk, the multi-colored antique cabinet split from the center and Bonnie Brown slowly emerged from the hidden compartment.
“Come.” Ben Brown held out his hand to her, his eyes full of affection: “Come sit with Daddy.”
Bonnie Brown took a deep breath and walked over to sit on his lap, her back stiffened against his chest, and after a long silence with each other, she spoke tentatively: “A woman like Marisa Miller, it’s not worth it.”
“Good girl, you’re pleading for her?” Ben Brown tilted his head, his breath landed on that white earlobe, almost wanting to bite it, but not wanting to ruin the rare intimacy of the moment, he could only exhale gently and brush her hair.
Bonnie Brown hunched her shoulders, the tingling sensation caused her whole body to tremble, and tried to smooth her voice: “I just … don’t want too much blood on Daddy’s hands, then God will blame.”
“Since when do you believe in God?” Ben Brown smiled, cupped a strand of her long hair and played with it at his fingertips: “Remember, Daddy is your God, and the only person you need to believe in and worship is me. I love you.”
Love, what exactly is it?
A pervert who deserves to talk about love?
Bonnie Brown shrank into his arms and gazed at him with his favorite obedient and dependent eyes, but her heart was cold as she contemplated a plan to leave.
Love it or hate it, she was going to get out of his clutches for good and leave this hell of a nightmare forever. Soon, soon enough …
“Daddy, I love you too.” She curled her lips up and said so.
In the early morning, Emma Rosy had just returned from the hospital when she met a heavy-looking Bruce Shao in the courtyard, looking as if he was waiting for her.
“Uncle Shao, have you had breakfast?” Emma Rosy approached with a smile, but revealed a strong sense of exhaustion.
“Master Wright is still the same?” Bruce Shao sighed and shook his head, “You are all filial children, his old man would feel relieved if he perceived it.”
This is all should do, Emma Rosy did not put on the heart, easy to bring after, asked Bruce Shao if he had something to say to her.
Bruce Shao sniffed and let out another long sigh, paced to the stone bench and sat down, looked at the distant cloudy sky, sorrowfully mused, “To be honest, I would like to ask Miss to do me a favor.”
“Looking for your daughter?”
Bruce Shao’s wish, Emma Rosy had expected it, just afraid of causing him sadness, so he did not mention it, so she has not taken the initiative to ask.
Bruce Shao’s daughter was only five or six years old when she was lost, and she had not been heard from for so many years. Whether she was adopted by a kind person or met with an accident, she had probably forgotten her father’s face and her former home.
Likewise, the daughter’s appearance and personality must have changed dramatically, and Bruce Shao, as the father, may not be able to accurately describe it.
“I will do my best to help you, but it’s up to God to make it work or not.” To prevent disappointment, Emma Rosy still had to talk to Bruce Shao to make things clear.
Bruce Shao expressed his understanding: “Fate is unpredictable, I have already learned it, so I can naturally understand. But my daughter has a red birthmark in the shape of a flower petal on her back, in the position of her shoulder blade, this information should be useful when looking for someone.”
The birthmark would indeed be easier to find if the location was now visible, but the back of an adult girl, which can be easily seen?
Emma Rosy knew there was little hope, but she could only reassure Bruce Shao and agreed to do so.
She walked into the villa and leaned against the shoebox, suddenly worried about Alex Brown.
It was not yet time for her daily contact, but she couldn’t help herself and called.
Alex Brown was busy taking inventory of the accounts, his desk was in a mess, and when he heard the ringing, he searched for it for a long time without even looking at the name, and put it directly to his ear: “Who is it?”
It so happened that Eric Chan had just finished reviewing a financial information, and quickly came over and put it in front of him: “Once the information you have here is completed, you can declare bankruptcy at any time.”
Eric Chan was full of excitement and his voice was naturally loud, and when it reached Emma Rosy’s ears, it caused endless panic.
“What happened to Brown Group and why is it suddenly going bankrupt?
Hearing Emma Rosy’s nervous questioning voice, Alex Brown also froze, and hastily raised his hand to Eric Chan, and then got up and walked to a quiet place, looking for a clue from the mess, explaining to her that he had it all under control.
Eric Chan knew he was in trouble and fled in a huff.
“The board of directors are not easy to deal with, I have to come up with a plan, otherwise it is impossible to shake their foundation, you can rest assured that everything is moving forward according to my plan, without the slightest deviation.” He was physically and mentally exhausted, but when he thought of the person on the other side of the phone, Alex Brown felt happy, and even his tone was unconsciously gentle.
Emma Rosy exhaled deeply, always feeling that this move was too risky: “I thought you could come up with some good plan, why didn’t you discuss it with me before you made the decision?”
“Would you have said yes if I had?” Alex Brown inquired feigning aggravation.
“I … I certainly …,” Emma Rosy pursed her lips, unable to speak.
As long as Alex Brown said it was okay, Emma Rosy trusted him completely.
However, when the news of Brown Group’s impending bankruptcy was widely reported in the media, the outside world was once again in an uproar, and the board of directors was in an uproar, rallying to the company and demanding an explanation from Alex Brown.
The next day, just after Alex Brown finished the final accounts, the board members barged into the office, asking why the company was in such a state.
“You made a promise to recover your losses within a month, but now what? We haven’t seen a single penny, but instead we have to take the risk of bankruptcy!”
“If you can’t afford it, you should step down automatically, why do you need to hold on? You’ve tarnished your father’s reputation and brought shame to the entire Brown Family!”
“Do you think a news blackout will help? The media is not stupid, and the partners are not! I heard that a number of partners have terminated their contracts a while ago, why didn’t you report to the board of directors and why did you make your own decision?
Alex Brown was scolded, but uncharacteristically did not contradict them, and even humbly said that he would save the company from the fire.
“Brown Group is my grandparents’ life’s work, I can’t just watch it die, you guys give me some more time, I promise …”
“What guarantee do you have?” Dick Brown, the current leader of the board, spoke quietly: “The only remaining shell of the company, the economic media bombardment, or your painfully hidden illness, do you want to use these things as a guarantee?”
“I still have my family fortune!” Alex Brown, pretending to be enraged, shouted in anger: “I’ll sell my family’s assets, I’ll sleep on the road, and I’ll save the Brown Group, just you wait and see!
