All the way upstairs to the room, Dennis stopped to look at the baby before I caught up with him.
Jamie is already asleep, he is holding Snowy in the bedroom living room teasing, eyes full of doting, just a month old child in his arms as if the palm of a doll, watching his careful look, I can not help but hook the corners of the mouth.
See me walk in, Dennis and the baby playful expression instantly converge, expressionless look at me, eyes like looking at the unrelated passers-by, the first line of sight on the first, I subconsciously shrink the neck.
“Didn’t you say you’d come over on the first day?”
Dennis did not say anything, his face drooped even harder, serious and serious wrinkling his brow, “Are you trying to say that I came at a bad time?”
Leo’s voice suddenly sounded behind him, “All here, just in time, let’s go to the study together, Uncle Link has something to say.”
He didn’t linger much, dropping these words lightly and disappearing by the door.
The air was silent for two seconds before Dennis took the lead and lifted his feet, walked into the bedroom to drop Snowy off, came out and then swept right past me and walked out.
This sudden disregard made me a little confused, how did this piss him off?
It’s just that there’s no time for sudden emotional outbursts. Maybe things aren’t going well with Leonard Group, so I’ll talk to him later after meeting Link.
When I arrived, Link they have sat down, three imposing men coincidentally looking towards the door, this is if the ordinary people, afraid to first leg weakness three points.
I should have sat next to Dennis, but he looked away, obviously not wanting to be close to me, so I went to Leo’s side of the single sofa and sat down.
“godfather, brother said you have something important to discuss with us?”
“Well.” Link nodded, then passed a look towards Leo, Leo would understand and took over, “Edward sent word through Brady that the handlers have developed an antidote and can guarantee a cure for you, but only if we return the original oil extraction agreement to the White family. ”
Link interjected, “I mean, Edward is already notorious at home and abroad, even if we get the oil extraction agreement, the Middle East side may not do business with the crime-ridden people, it won’t hurt to give him this stuff, the poison on Clara is a time bomb, we can’t afford to delay.”
He let out a long sigh and asked Dennis what he meant, “What do you two think as a couple?”
The words fell, and the entire study suddenly fell into a deadlocked awkwardness.
Edward finally showed his bargaining chip, hoping to make a comeback by virtue of the wolf’s ambition of oil is known to all.
“No way.” I said squarely, “Edward’s reputation is notoriously rotten, but who can guarantee that he won’t repackage himself and start all over again? Oil resources in his hands would mean that Edward could potentially turn his back on an entire Middle Eastern country in the future, and the storm he would raise then would really be beyond our ability to deal with.”
It does not matter whether I die or not, if a person’s departure can be replaced by a lifetime of family peace, but also worth it, if I survived, but to all face the situation of sleep and food, how can I bear?
Edward has gone crazy, and since he is crazy, he should be locked up in a cage forever, instead of being given the chance to recuperate.
Link and Leo sniffed and did not take a position, but copy and paste the general frown, the line of sight is still not looking in the direction of Dennis, waiting for his response.
Obviously, if they hadn’t considered Edward’s conditions, the story wouldn’t have reached me. The Kennedy family just wanted me to live longer, and couldn’t care less about how risky this was.
“Dennis,” I looked at him and shook my head heavily, pleading with my eyes, “No.”
Dennis was silent with his lips tightly closed and his expression faint, not knowing whether he had read my eyes or not, and only after a long time did he turn his face to respond to Link, “I agree with Clara, it’s not good to be subjected to others, Edward is insatiable, even if the agreement is given to him, the antidote may not be available, I have contacted the most advanced medical team in the world and invested in research. Invest a large sum of money to provide research, I believe there will be good news soon.”
“Hmm?” I was a little puzzled, “Why didn’t you tell me that.”
“Told you.” Dennis still had the same look of rejection, “I told you that you could trust me, and that you wouldn’t die if I didn’t allow it.”
I was frozen by his look, indeed, after learning of the terminal illness, although the mouth said not to worry, but my heart is actually constantly worried about the violent death, do ready to die at any time.
Not for anything else, just knowing Edward’s ruthlessness.
Before I could say anything, Dennis’ tone intensified, “Or are you so righteous that you don’t want to drag us down and want to die once and for all, leaving us the so-called ‘peace’ in a dignified manner?”
The heart sank, I tightened my eyebrows speechless, he cared not whether I believed him, but felt that I subconsciously want to leave him bent on death.
Dennis’s dark eyes stared at me motionlessly, as if a deep pool of water was hidden in his deep eyes, to drown people in it.
Noticing that the atmosphere is not right, Leo hurriedly rounded up, “Well, since there is a solution, Edward’s side is not necessary, and it’s almost time, go down to eat first.”
Dennis’ icy eyes flung over, his voice impersonal, “Why can you still eat? I can’t eat, let’s go first.”
After saying that, without even greeting Link, he got up with a black face and walked out, without even looking back.
It took a long time for the room to come back to its senses.
“Such a bad temper.” Leo said inexplicably, “Did you have another fight?”
“Huh? Sort of. …” I pursed my lips and couldn’t explain too much.
…
A few days later, Leo suddenly picked me and Deborah up from the mall and said he was taking us somewhere.
In just five minutes, the car pulled into the underground garage of one of the city’s most glamorous office buildings.
When she got into the elevator, Deborah started to gossip, “You’re so secretive, where are you going anyway?”
Leo took the key ring and turned it in his hand, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, just pretending not to say anything.
Deborah’s face was red with anger, and I had to help persuade down, finally, the elevator stopped on the twenty-second floor.
“Ding–”
As soon as the elevator door opened, the eye was greeted by an exquisitely decorated front desk and a conspicuous red cloth on the wall that seemed to cover a sign.
As soon as Leo walked out, the lady at the front desk greeted him with a smile on her face, “Mr. Kennedy.”
“Hmm.” Leo nodded, his eyes glancing in the direction of Deborah and I. The receptionist then came over and welcomed us to the red cloth, “Please, two.”
After standing, the receptionist picked up a corner of the red cloth and handed it to me, “Miss Kennedy, please.”
“Reveal it.” Leo urged.
Confused, I raised my hand and pulled off the red cloth, and the sign was revealed – Clara Legal Firm.
“Surprised or not? The logo designed by the first-class master in China, isn’t it a post-modern independent woman’s style?” Leo sold himself.
