Julie looked normal, as if such a scene had nothing to do with her, and ordered gracefully, and looked at me in passing and said, “Mrs. George, do you need anything else? The honey pineapple rice here is delicious, why don’t you try it?”
I smiled lightly, “Miss Burks have recommended it, I naturally have to try it, it seems Miss Burks is still quite familiar with this place.”
She smiled lightly, “It’s okay, I’ve eaten a few times when I was here before, I thought it was very good, so I wrote it down, I always like to introduce people when I see them, Mrs. George if you don’t mind, you can try it, consider it a reward for me.”
This Miss Burks and Olivia is half similar, according to Marcus’s style of work, even if he wants to find, he will find a person and Olivia have some similarity to the woman, but Julie and Olivia is completely two types of women, there is no similarity.
After chatting for a while, I got up and went to the bathroom. Dennis was ready to accompany me, and I declined seeing that he and Marcus were engaged in conversation.
When I came out of the bathroom, I met Marcus, who was leaning against the corridor, looking as if he was waiting for someone, I looked around, but no one had just gone into the ladies’ room.
Passing him, I politely spoke, “Waiting for Miss Burks?”
He raised his eyes to me, his face was blank, “Wait for you!”
I was surprised and a little frozen, looking at him, “Waiting for me to do what?” I don’t seem to be involved with him either, huh? He has never been very happy with me, so over the years, although he and Dennis are very good feelings, but basically rarely go around, this suddenly looking for me to do what?
“Something wrong?” I spoke, stopping in my tracks.
He raised an eyebrow, “Talk somewhere else for a while?”
I was so straightforward, did I have a reason to refuse? Of course not, I opened my mouth and nodded, “Well, then?”
Stairwell!
He put his hands in his pockets, leaning against the wall, slender body kept very handsome, bones more than a few points of cold and desperate atmosphere, I looked at him, did not speak, just waiting for him to speak first.
After a moment of silence, he lit a cigarette and spoke, “Did you find out about Olivia and call the police?”
I frowned, so it was about this, I originally thought he had completely forgotten about Olivia, I did not expect to still think about it.
“I found it by accident, so I called the police.” It was Karina and I who walked into the alley that night out of curiosity, not thinking Olivia would do that.
He exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at me with an icy gaze, his voice low and introspective, “Dennis has already given you a heart, what are you not satisfied with? Why did you let her go this far? What is the most painful way for you? Let her die so that you can be satisfied?”
For his questioning, I was a little confused, could not help but frown, looked at him some puzzled, “Mr. Thomson, your logic is not right? I didn’t force her, I didn’t harm her, I just found out by accident, so I called the police, I don’t think I did anything wrong, do I have to turn a blind eye and let her continue to degenerate when I know she did such a thing? In other words, in a way, I saved her, didn’t I?”
He sneered, “How about Olivia, that’s her own choice, you obviously could have solved the problem in a different way, but you directly used the most embarrassing way for her, you let Dennis completely disappointed her, completely gave up on her, and made her lose the belief to fall, Clara, you are more vicious than I thought.”
I froze, this man’s logic, it was completely upside down, what do you mean I could have solved it differently? “So you think Olivia was caught and Dennis completely abandoned her when he found out because of me? Marcus, you’re ridiculous, really! What makes you think I would spend so much of my precious time dealing with someone who has nothing to offer me? And end up with a reputation for being cold and heartless?”
“To be honest, for Olivia’s existence, I don’t even put it in my eyes because she really doesn’t deserve my mind at all, a woman who has accomplished nothing and is attached to men simply by crying, for so many years, she has changed her ways countless times, but she is set in her ways, even if Dennis really likes her, honestly, how much a man really has the courage to put something like a dead thing beside himself? How much courage does he really need to decide to love her for life and join hands with her for life. Speaking of which, Marcus, didn’t you finally give up on her too? Who are you to question me?”
He froze for a moment, the cigarette butt in his hand was extinguished, he looked at me in a trance, and after a long hesitation, he said coldly, “Don’t change the subject, to put it bluntly, you are the one who is vicious, you have no need to send her to the police station, but you did it, and you did not show any mercy, so that her reputation and future are completely ruined, even if she can come out later, how should she live in this society? Even if she can get out later, how should she live in this society, Clara, if you are not cruel?”
“Hahahahahahahahaha!” I really didn’t have to hold back, this man’s words refreshed my outlook, and I couldn’t stop laughing a little.
Seeing me suddenly laughing, he was confused for a moment, looked at me and frowned, questioning, “Clara, what are you laughing at? What’s so funny? Did I say something wrong? What makes you laugh?”
It was only after a long time that I calmed down and looked at him, somewhat sarcastically, “Marcus, what you said is so hypocritical that you don’t believe it yourself, right? Why would you say it so justifiably? The Thomson family wants to get a person, they are still afraid of not getting her out? Besides, do you think she will live without me sending her in? The same is not true. Once you let her go, you think she will find a good home in our circle? The same, she will still be kept in captivity with cheap money and later reduced to a toy, you know better than we do in your heart.”
“Admit it, deep down you don’t love her anymore, you even started to dislike her, otherwise how could you say such awful things to her in the hospital, you wanted to force her to leave, but you didn’t want to get a reputation as a scum, so you indulged her at every turn, and finally made her wrong to the point of outrageous, her current result should have half of your credit, you already had this in mind, but you didn’t Want to carry a bad reputation, so only to question me, pretend to be noble, put everything on me, let me assume this bad guy are role, Marcus, honestly, you have absolutely no need, even if I carry the pot, the same, you are not considered a good guy in the eyes of others, do not pretend, disgusting!”
