Who is Valentine?
It sounded familiar?
"I don't have time now... Something happened to my daughter and she needs to go to the hospital urgently..."
"Mr. Valentine has hired a family doctor for her. Where is Miss Trista? We'll pick her up right now."
what??
Valentine knew Ashley?
Were they friends?
"Yes, just in the front..." I don't know whether they are good or bad, but at this point, there seems to be no other way!
Soon, the driver drove me to the gate of the villa.
Far away, when Leonard saw the license plate number, a look of panic appeared on his face. "Fanny... Why did you get out of Valentine's car? Did you stop Valentine's car?"
"Do you know him?"
"I... I don't know how to tell you!" Leonard was too anxious to speak.
"The bodyguards of Mr. Valentine said that they had hired a doctor to treat Ashley. Let's go there now!" After saying that, she intended to help Ashley.
"Wait!" Leonard wanted to say something, but when he saw two bodyguards get out of the car, he closed her mouth again
"Why are you still dawdling? Get in the car! You've wasted Mr. Valentine's time. You can't afford it!"
"We can go to see a doctor by ourselves. Please tell Valentine that we will visit him another day!" After saying that, Leonard held Ashley's hand with one hand and was about to leave with me with the other!
"It's your fortune that Mr. Valentine is willing to see you. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame us for being rude!" The bodyguard's attitude is very bad. Now I find that the situation is wrong, but it's too late!
Leonard sighed and wanted to say something more, but two bodyguards had forcefully pulled Ashley into the car.
"Be gentle. My daughter is still in a coma. Be careful not to hurt her!" I'll get in the car with you.
When I got in the car, I found that Leonard was still standing there. "What are you waiting for? Mr. Valentine has prepared a room for us. We can stay at his place tonight. We can talk about everything after Ashley wakes up."
Hearing this, Leonard's face darkened. She reluctantly got on the car and frowned.
I heaved a sigh of relief. "I saw Emos on the road just now. His car passed by me. I wanted to ask him to send Ashley to the hospital, but he drove too fast that he didn't hear me at all!"
"That bastard!" Speaking of Emos, Leonard got angry. "He came to the villa just now. I thought he was here to send Ashley to the hospital, but he didn't say a word when he passed by us and went straight into the villa. I asked him what it meant to divorce, but he didn't answer me!"
"You mean he doesn't care about Ashley at all when he sees her like this?"
"Yes!"
"How could this be?"
Was the affair a big blow to him? Did he decide to draw the clear line with the Swift family?
"I think the relationship between him and Ashley is very likely to be unchanged." Leonard showed me the divorce agreement and said, "look at the terms. I didn't read them carefully just now. I didn't know that Emos has made so many requests!"
"Let me have a look." As soon as I took it, the car had already driven into the underground garage of a European style villa
"Please get off the car!"
The bodyguards opened the door for us.
I put away the divorce agreement and planned to study it carefully when I'm free.
Ashley was carried to the guest room by a bodyguard. I was worried when I saw him behave so rudely.
"Two, please follow me."
A butler led the way. Leonard and I were taken to the living room. It was surrounded by cramped black. The curtains, wallpapers, and furnishings made people feel uncomfortable. The spacious living room looked a little gloomy.
"Where is the Mr. Valentine?" I looked around and asked, "why didn't I see him?"
"You two read this agreement first."
Instead of answering my question, the Butler put a contract in front of us and said, "Mr. Valentine wants to make a deal with you. After that, you can get one million dollars."
million??
When we are homeless, one million is an astronomical number for us!
"How do you expect us to cooperate with Mr. Valentine?" I seized the opportunity to ask.
"You two look carefully. I won't disturb you." The Butler smiled weirdly, "somebody, serve tea."
I picked up the agreement and read it carefully.
Leonard's pov
I wanted to talk to Fanny for a while, but all I could see was the camera. The owl stared at us like a monitor, and there were other imperceptible decorations. There were several ten cameras hidden well, to record our words and deeds .
I sit on pins and needles.
I felt more and more sweat on my forehead. I was not in the mood to read the agreement, so I reached out to wipe the sweat.
"Honey, look at the agreement. As long as we leave Ashley here for ten days, we can get one million dollars!" Fanny said as she read the contract.
"What... What?" I'm a little stunned. . Let Ashley stay at the house of a strange man alone, or at the house of Valentine. What if something happens
Besides, what happened that year...
"Does Mr. Valentine have a crush on Ashley and want to chase her?" Fanny couldn't be happier. "I think his family is good. There are at least a hundred bodyguards outside. He should be a rich man. If our daughter can marry him, she will live a rich life...."
"I think... Forget it. Let's find a doctor for our daughter. Don't bother her!" I signaled her not to be greedy.
But Fanny looked excited. "I'll sign it first. Let Ashley live a good life here. It's one hundred times better than living with us!"
"Fanny, you can't sign it!" I grabbed her pen. I wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. Enduring the pain, I said, "have you ever thought about what will happen if Ashley really stays? Even if you want her to live well and eat well, you have to ask her whether she wants to stay or not. Do we wait until she wakes up to talk about this matter? What if she doesn't want to do something bad?"
"That makes sense." She calmed down too. "Let's wait until Ashley wakes up."
"If you two don't sign the agreement in time, Miss Trista will never wake up because of missing the best opportunity for treatment." The Butler's voice rang out at the right time, as if he had heard the result of our discussion. He sneered and said, "you two treat Mr. Valentine as a bad person. If Mr. Valentine knows that you are talking about him behind his back, he may be so angry that he doesn't care whether Miss Trista is alive or dead."
"Don't..." Fanny hurriedly put on a fake smile. "As parents, we only want to respect our daughter's personal will, not against Mr. Valentine. The housekeeper has worried too much, and we are very grateful to him. How can we twist the meaning of Mr. Valentine?"
"Now that your daughter is in danger, it's up to you whether to save her or not. Sign your name and get one million. Then someone will take care of her until she recovers. If you don't sign, you will still be penniless, and your daughter will die because you don't have money to treat her. Since you two are old, don't you need me to teach you to make a choice?"
Fanny was a little nervous. "We are just worried that if Ashley stays here, something bad will happen..."
"Mrs. Lion." The Butler said ruthlessly, "Our Mr. Valentine is a gentleman. She won't be hurt at all. The reason why she stays here for 10 days is just for the sake of her recovery. There is no other meaning. If she is lucky to be favored by our Mr. Valentine, it is also her fortune, isn't it? Besides, Mr. Leonard and our master have known each other for a long time. You should be relieved That's right. "
Are you threatening me with Ashley? If what happened that year was exposed, I would be in jail!
Fanny took a look at me, stood up and said politely, "then... Please take care of Ashley."
"Take care." The Butler made a gesture of invitation.
She dragged me out of here.
Trista's pov
The plane skimmed over the layers of clouds and flew in the blue sky.
Donald took straight to France, and asked Ira to buy a car in France and send me directly to the competition site.
In the car, Donald kissed me on the forehead and asked, "are you worried?"
"No..."
Although I said so, I felt my heart beating faster and faster, as if I was a little nervous.
"You will win." His eyes were full of affection.
"If I lose, it will disgrace the Lion group."
This competition is not only a competition between the winner and the loser, but also a competition to let me see how far I am weaker than my opponent.
I don't want to lose.
