A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 20

Louis could see that Miss. Chloe holding a whip, and tries to slash on Lily’s body, and it seems that she is taking a revenge, he frowns.

He knows exactly that it is himself to get Miss. Chloe out of so many troubles.

But now, she is so brutal that she dares to hold a whip to slash others in the movie.

Louis puts down his phone and opens the door and leaves the car. He walks towards the scene. When Chloe is about to hit Lily again, Louis says, “Chloe.”

It is not a loud noise, but it is very firm, everyone in the scene could hear it.

Having heard that, Chloe puts down her whip and runs towards him, and pretends to be a little girl and says “Louis, why are you here?”

She uses her head to bump into his chest again and again.

Louis’s eyes are as cold as usual, but he does not push Chloe away, and says, “I come here to take you to have lunch.” He glances through the scene, and he sees that Joey is picking up Lily.

Lily is in white costume. When she gets up, the bottom of her dress is red. When she walks, some liquid drops down from the sleeve, he knows that Lily is seriously hurt.

“Mr. Louis.”

“Mr. Louis.”

Everyone greets him.

He is so famous that everyone in the showbiz knows him. He is the background of Chloe, the arrogant woman.

Louis is always in a low profile. He does not show up in any occasions in the public, so when they see him, everyone comes to greet him.

He just nods his head.

When Chloe steps to take a rest, Louis stops to talk to an assistant in the scene, “Give the woman sitting under the umbrella the best medicine.”

The assistant nods his head constantly.

On the other side, when Joey puts down Lily, she rolls up her sleeve and sees that her sister’s arms are in terrible condition. She is bleeding everywhere, she cried, "Lily, you sit here, I will buy some medicine for you.”

She is not famous in the biz circle. She could not get any medicine from the team.

But she is very surprised that the assistant gives her some medicine. She is shocked and stands there.

She could not believe that.

She thinks that maybe someone has seen her sister get slashed by a whip, so they decide to give her some medicine, and she mumbles in her heart. She walks back to her sister, using all the medicine on the wound.

“I am so sorry Lily.” says Joey.

“Nothing serious.” Lily says, it is her sister, she has to take good care of her.

She takes a look on the other side, when she sees Louis Smith coming, the woman runs towards him, so they must have a good relationship. She asks Joey, “Is that woman Chloe Lee?”

“Of course, no one can be so rude in the biz circle, except her.” answers Joey.

Lily understands.

When she first saw Chloe, she thinks that this woman looks familiar to her. Actually, Chloe Lee is the most outstanding actress in an entertainment company owned by the Smith company. And Lily also knows that behind Chloe, there is someone always supporting her.

But it is out of her expectation that the supporter is Louis Smith.

When Joey is treating Lily, she mumbles to her, “Chloe is not born in a rich family, but she has got a supporter. If I can have her luck and have a supporter behind me, I could be famous one day.”

“You are such a fool, and now you are dreaming of being famous?” says Lily, she gives Joey a slash on her head. “You are the one who came to others, and took of the clothes yourself, and other people took your pictures and you were about to be sent to the police station.”

Joey is shocked but smiles to her sister and says, “Lily, you know that?”

Lily asks back, “How did you know that cuff link belongs to Louis Smith, and how dare you to go to see him?”

Joey does not answer.

Lily is pissed her and she hits her again.

Joey is terrified and says, “Stop and I will tell you the truth.” says Joey with tears in her eyes.

“I took the cuff link to the store and finds out the owner of it. What a big surprise.”

“I was planning to return the cuff link to him, so I made an appointment to him. Lily, I had no other meanings. I just wants to give him back the cuff link, so that I can also earn some tips.”

“Tips? You asked him to give you fifty hundred thousand dollars. Do you know how much money that is?” Lily shouts loudly, “And you spent forty hundred thousand on that character? Are you insane?”

“The biz circle is very competitive. I have no choice.” answers Joey. “I am such a beauty, I could not be a small character, and you know what, so many people come to the director to get this character.”

Lily’s head is spinning, at that moment, she tries to hit her sister again, she says “Joey, I paid for your school fee, and that is a few hundred dollars per year, I do not expect you to be other people’s toys.”

“I know you will say it to me.” says Joey, “Lily, you are so innocent. Biz circle is a dirty place, once you are in, no one is clean. If you really care about your sister, you should not break up with your ex-boyfriend. If he has been here to help me, I could have...”

Lily holds up her hands and slaps on her sister’s face.

The name of her ex is a taboo for Lily. It is a bad memory, she could feel the coldness in her blood when she hears the name, and her hands are shaking.

“Lily?” It is the first time in her life to be hit by her sister. Joey is shocked and says to her, “You hit me?”

Joey is not very happy and says, “Am I wrong, you hit me? You could see the man you married. He is so mean, he never takes care of us, but you spent most of your salaries in their family. You treated them so well, but I did not see they treat you very well.”

Lily’s eyes are red and she is holding up her hands and ready to give her another slash.

She stops it in the air.

Yes, she knows that her sister is right, everyone should treat their own family very well, but looks at her, she only cares about Jason’s family, so that is why today, they are going to divorce, and she lost a lot.

Lily says angrily, “It is my business to have a bad life.” Lily takes a deep breath and tries to control the anger from her heart. Her lips are shaking. “Don’t mention that guy again, will you?”

The coldness in her eyes suggests she is pissed off, and she looks at her sister and says, “If you mention that man again, I swear to god, I will cut off the relationship with you. You should pay back the money to Louis Smith by yourself.”

Joey has never seen her sister so angry before. She is very afraid, so she nods her head after looking at her sister.

Joey knows little about her sister’s ex-boyfriend. She only knows that when Lily was studying abroad, she made a boyfriend, and he was born in a rich family. At that Christmas, he sent her a little castle worth a few million dollars.

And her sister Lily planned to take him back home when the new year came, but when it was the time, her sister came back and changed her name, and got married with Jason after that, very quickly.

Joey tries to ask more questions about her ex, but Lily at that time is so angry and also wants to slash on her, but she finally warned her not to mention that man again. And after that, Joey did not dare to talk about it.

When the fire in Lily’s heart dies down, Lily asks her sister, “What kind of contract you signed in front of Louis?”

“It is mainly about an interpretation job.” Joey looks at her sister secretly. When she sees that Lily is not angry, she goes on, “Mr. Louis asks me whether you can speak Wukerberg, and the money he gives me can be considered as your salaries.”

“How do you know I can speak the language?” asks Lily.

“I have no idea.” says Joey, she is covering her head with her hands, afraid of Lily’s slash. She continued, “You are such an excellent interpreter in your company, I guess you know the language, so when Mr. Louis asks me, I says yes.”

Lily is quite annoyed about it.

She comes to realize that why Louis comes to Jack’s dinner party that night. She believes that he just comes to check whether she could speak Wukerberg or not. Maybe he has already leaned her background, just to make sure. He comes to the dinner party. And Louis just takes that video to threaten her. Otherwise, Louis would send Joey directly to the police station.

Lily learns this language from a book, except that man, nobody knows she could use the language. Around the world, there are less than 50 people who could speak the language, and she did not put it into the information sheet when she was admitted into the company.

But, how did Louis know that she could speak the language?

What does he want her to do?
