Chapter 39 Kieran Charles Wants to Buy Me
Chapter 39 Kieran Charles Wants to Buy Me
“Kieran Charles!”
I saw Kieran pushing the door in, followed by the man in the ancient robe in the hospital that day, and I
jumped up from the hospital bed at once, not expecting Kieran to chase me here.
“Mr. Charles!” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Kieran slowly walked to the farthest window and sit down. The strong backlight enveloped him, half yin
and half yang. He looked like a god, a demon, and the black-robed man stood respectfully by the
slightly far side.
“Mr. Charles, can you please give me a few more days? Please, my brother is missing and I must find
him first, then......”
I tried to explain, but as I said, tears fell without consciousness, so that I could not say anything. In fact,
I didn’t know why I still tried to explain. Kieran and Marlon were basically the same kind of men, so
indifferent and heartless. Davidson’s life or death was even incomparable with half of their interests.
“Owen!”
Kieran said faintly.
“Yes, Mr. Charles!”
Owen brought a tablet to me and suddenly, Billie’s face appeared on it. I froze momentarily and then
grabbed the tablet,
“Billie, where is Davidson? Where are you now? Is Davidson safe?”
Billie was a little surprised,
“Ms. Cornell, Davidson, and I are fine. Weren’t you the one who asked your friend to pick us up? And
Davidson’s surgery was a success!”
I froze hard,
“Davidson’s surgery was done?
Where is he?”
“Davidson is playing!”
Billie said and let me see what Davidson was doing.
I saw that Davidson was sitting on a large soft cushion on the floor, playing with a toy, and the moment
he turned around, smiling gently at me. My hands holding the tablet trembled uncontrollably, and once
again the tears were about to break strongly, but I forced myself to hold them back and asked gently,
“Davidson, how are you feeling right now?”
Davidson smiled and shook his head. His little face was actually much less pale and more youthful.
“So, are you happy these days?”
I caressed Davidson’s face on the screen. I thought I was going to lose him because of my
incompetence. Despair had filled all my life. But now, Davidson was still standing vividly in front of me,
which suddenly made me feel no more resentment for everything I had gone through.
“As long as my little brother is safe and healthy, nothing else matters!”
“Time’s up, Ms. Cornell!”
Owen reached for the tablet back and I scrambled to Davidson,
“Davidson, you should be good and obedient. I will come to see you soon!”
As soon as I said that, Owen had already hung up the video and then went out with the tablet, and
instantly, only Kieran and I were left in the ward.
“Mr. Charles, thank you!”
I gave a respectful ninety-degree bow to Kieran.
Kieran gave a cold laugh,
“It is too early to thank me, Rachael... I’m a businessman and I never do business at a loss!
You have to pay back for his treatment in Country M, as well as his accommodation!”
“I know, and this is my duty, but, thank you!”
I genuinely said. I knew that Kieran would never do a good deed without asking for something in return,
but no matter what, he ended up arranging the operation for Davidson and placed him in a nice and
comfortable house. All of that, I was going to pay it back even slaving for him.
Kieran looked at me faintly.
“It’s good that you know it”
A contract was then dumped on me, and I picked it up.
“You don’t have to follow the CH project anymore!”
“Really!”
I looked at Kieran excitedly. Not following this project meant I would never have to deal with Marlon
again and never have to suffer unreasonable insults.
Kieran responded indifferently,
“I’ll raise you from now on!”
The air froze for a moment and I blinked,
“What did you say?”
“I, raise, you!”
Kieran deliberately slowed down his speech and said, word by word.
“You don’t have any right to refuse. The price is as it was, one hundred thousand a month, and all of
Davidson’s expenses are deducted from your salary!”
“Why?”
I looked at Kieran and couldn’t figure it out.
“You don’t need to know that!”
Kieran got up to leave when his words were finished. Before leaving, he asked me to go to work as
normal tomorrow. At this moment, I finally understood why Kieran took Billie and Davidson to Country
M. It was a threat to me.
I, indeed, had no right to refuse, but I still had to thank Kieran, As Davidson’s health and safety meant
everything to me.
Early the next morning, I went to work on time, but as soon as I stepped into the building, people who
originally rushed to catch the elevator were looking at me with a strange look, no, with a look of
extreme contempt and disgust.
I was curious but I had no time to care because I was in a hurry to get to the office.
BANG!
I had just entered the office when a cup was smashed head-on in front of me, and I froze for a moment
when I saw Yanis walking over with a smile on her face,
“Sorry about that, I didn’t mean it!”
But while Yanis was talking, the cake in her hand was deliberately flung at me, without the slightest hint
of apology on her face.
“Sorry for what? Yanis, you’re really kind. When you come across such a shameless woman, that’s all
insulting to your cake and cup!”
“That’s right, she is actually unscrupulous to hook Mr. Charles, and do it shamelessly in public. This
kind of disgusting woman is hard to see in one thousand!”
The female colleagues in the office taunted me loudly.
My body froze. I had thought they were doing this because they hated me, but I didn’t expect that they
knew about me and Kieran. My face was burning hot. I walked to my seat with my head down, but my
desk and chair were tipped over on the floor and the papers on my desk were spat all over. I silently
recovered my things.
Suddenly, my entire body was yanked over by a strong force, followed by a hard slap landing on my
face.
Everly stared at me with eyes full of anger and intense hatred, raising her hand and still wanting to hit
me, while the female colleagues around me gloating at the hilarity, and someone was shouting,
“Ms. Everly, beat her to death! Beat her to death. She is a bitch!”
“Ms. Everly, you always need a reason to beat someone!”
I shook off Everly's hand and asked coldly.
“You’re so snotty that I don’t need a reason to beat you!”
Everly stared at me angrily, and was eager to tear me apart. Then she approached closer to me and
lowered her voice, saying word by word,
“Rachael, you’re so snotty that you’ll get your comeuppance sooner or later!”
Everly plucked out a fierce glance at me, turned around, and left. The colleagues who were enjoying
the good show spat at me. I did not say anything and just continued to pack my things. But I wondered
why everyone in the company knew about this.
At that time, I thought of many possibilities but I didn’t expect that this was the beginning of all the
tragedies. At noon, Marlon came to invite me for lunch, and I refused. But Marlon forced me to go to
the restaurant with him.
In the VIP room, I sat in silence in the seat farthest away from Marlon. Everything Marlon did and said
to me that night was fresh in my mind because, to this day, my heart was still bleeding.
It really hurt me too much and all this pain was given by the man I had loved for four entire years.
For four years, the humiliation and hurt he had inflicted had made me too afraid to have any illusions or
any semblance of love for him.
“Rachael, I’ll buy you!”
Marlon looked at me and said.
