Chapter 20 Businessmen never do the charity for free
Steven Boll was already sitting on the sofa again, with his right leg resting idly on his left leg. The cigarette that had been lit before was still between his fingertips, but the cigarette had already burned out, and the half-finger-long soot was teetering on the cigarette butt.
No matter what his purpose was, at least he brought Yoyo back and guaranteed her safety.
Thinking of this, Amanda put down his daughter in her arms, stood up straight again, and said seriously to Steven Boll, "Thank you."
"Nothing" Steven flicked the cigarette with his finger, and the ashes scattered all over the floor, full of gray marks. He glanced lightly and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "As Miss Lu said before, I'm a businessman. I am egoistic and never do charity for free."
His icy eyes glanced at Yoyo’s face, the warmth between the two people when they were getting along disappeared, and all that was left was the indifference on his face.
"Melon...Big brother." Yoyo was a little frightened by his attitude, subconsciously yelled, and because she remembered what his mommy told her, she changed her salutation for him temporarily.
She didn't understand, why he looks so fierce now, aren’t they friends?
Amanda's gratitude was from the heart, but Steven’s words immediately dispelled all her gratitude.
All his indifference and ruthlessness in the past came to her mind again. She thought she had almost forgotten, but when she thought about it, the feeling of heartache and sadness was still vivid in her heart.
He was so cruel to her, how could he waste time on her daughter if he had no purpose.
Amanda held Yoyo closely with a little fear, and the chaotic thoughts in her mind gathered, then she replied with a flat expression: "You helped Yoyo, let me do something that I can, as long as your request is not excessive, I can help to do it for you ."
"Not excessive, at least in my eyes, not excessive."
His voice was low and Amanda's heart tightened, and she heard him continue to say in a mellow voice with a slightly hoarse voice: "Anne's depression was caused by you. I want you to stay here until she returns to normal!"
"Impossible." With almost no hesitation, Amanda took a step back and refused directly.
Steven Boll had already anticipated her reaction. There was no slight fluctuation on her facial expression, and her thin lips lightly opened: "It seems that what Ms. Lu said about repaying me is just so. Or, for a person like Ms. Lu, the child is just worthless?"
His voice was elegant and beautiful, but what he said was like a sharp knife, piercing straight towards Amanda.
Amanda suddenly felt a little angry, and Yoyo was right beside her, Yoyo could hear exactly what he said, how could he say such things in front of the child!
She was still a child, and what if she had been hurt because of a misunderstanding of what he said... People like Steven Boll were so desperate to have no humanity.
Nevertheless, Amanda was not willing to compromise on this.
She bent down and kissed Yoyo’s cheek in a comforting manner, and raised her hands to cover her ears with her confused gaze.
Then Amanda looked at Steven again and said unceremoniously: "I haven't seen you in a few years. I never imagined that Mr. Boll has become a villain who does not hesitate to use children for his purposes."
When Steven Boll lifted his finger, the cigarette butt that had been extinguished fell steadily in the ashtray in the middle of the coffee table.
He flicked the remaining ashes in his hand and then drew a cigarette from a cigarette case. Then he said slowly: "Playing snake played seven inches. Besides, looking at Miss Lu’s reaction, I think I got your soft spot, right?"
