In My Desperate Time

Chapter 244: Five Million Yuan

It seems that she is afraid that I have told her secret to Frances.

I smile and say, “Do you think he will be so nice to you if I told him your secret? If he knows that you cuckold him, will you still be here?”

Apparently, Whitney feels guilty, so she is afraid that I will reveal her secret.

“You’d better not say anything. Otherwise, I won’t forgive you!”

Whitney says sternly.

I shrug and say in a low voice, “I’m leaving. I won’t make trouble now.”

“You’re leaving? When?” She asks hurriedly.

I can see that she can’t wait to have me leave.

I directly tell her my plan, “I bought a plane ticket for the morning after tomorrow. I will leave before Frances returns. You can rest assured now.”

“Really?” There’s a bright smile on her face.

She can finally breathe a sigh of relief now that I am leaving.

I nod and go back to my room without saying anything.

Compared to Whitney’s excitement, my mood is too gloomy.

I have been desperate to leave. But now that I am leaving, I feel great pain in my heart as if it’s pierced.

At midnight, I receive a call from Steven, which startles me.

Is there anything wrong and I can’t leave?

“What’s wrong?” I ask nervously. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Jane, congratulations,” Steven says lightly. “The DS Company has decided to adopt your works entered for the competition in France. You can come to sign the contract tomorrow and get a payment for copyright.”

Unexpectedly, it’s because of good news that Steven calls me at midnight. I breathe a sigh of relief.

“How much is it?”

“Five million. Same as last time.”

I know why Steven is so happy. With five million Yuan, I can break up with Frances. Then we are quits. And he won’t have any excuse to pester me.

I earned the money on my own, so I can repay him righteously.

In that case, my leaving Frances is not fleeing. And I don’t owe him anything.

The next day, I go to the company and sign the contract with the representative sent by DS.

The person who signs with me is Herman. He is full of praise for me and says that there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future. If possible, he wants me to work as a designer at their company.

But if I want to leave Frances and go somewhere that he will never think of, I can’t be so high-profile. Frances has a partnership with DS Company. He will find me some day if I work at DS. Therefore, I won’t go there.

I decline Herman’s offer.

After I sign the contract, Steven and I go out for a meal.

And the money is soon transferred to my account.

I register a new card and transfer four million Yuan to it. Then I give the card to Steven.

“After I leave, you give this card to Frances and tell him that I am repaying him with my own money, and that from now on, there’s no connection between us.”

Steven nods and takes the card, saying, “I’ve arranged everything for you- fake identity, residence, new job, new mobile phone number, bank card and so on. Everything is done. As long as you don’t want to come back, Frances will never find you.”
