A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 145

Everyone in the room looks at each other, but no one means to take the wine. “If your hands are weak, I can ask someone to feed you.” says Louis.

With a wave, a dozen waiters file in and line up behind Louis.

Seeing that if they don't finish drinking these wines, they might not be able to get out of this private room today. Mr. Field curses Ellison in his heart and whispers to everyone, “Drink it now. Do you want to live here?”

With Mr. Field taking the lead, others open the bottles, and scramble for the wine. The private room is as noisy as Lily has just entered.

Ellison also forces himself to drink.

After Louis comes here, Lily stands beside him, not speaking at all. Even now, she just calmly stares at those people drinking.

With Louis on her side, she's out of her mind if she speaks up for these people!

“What's the matter?”

“What?” Lily recollects her mind.

Seeing Louis staring at her face, she touches it and finds a patch of blood. The wound is cracked open by Ellison's slap, and even the thin film could not stop the blood from coming out.

“I just got slapped by Ellison — oh!” In the middle of the conversation, Lily feels sick and she stumbles to the bathroom, covering her mouth.

Just lies on the toilet, then puke.

She feels much better after she vomits.

Louis wheels the wheelchair in and brings her some tissues. “What's wrong with your stomach?”

“No, it's all right.” Lily didn't expect him to come in. She couldn't bear to smell the sour smell. Lily says embarrassedly, “Mr. Louis, please go out. It is dirty here.”

“It doesn't matter.” Louis reaches past Lily and presses the toilet flush button. “Let me clear your face. It's bleeding.”

Lily feels embarrassed.

She's really embarrassed!

Lily wants to refuse him, but Louis has asked someone to send makeup remover, presses it on the cotton pad, and carefully wipes the foundation on her face. Lily feels uncomfortable all over.

“Your face is hurt. Why do you still wear makeup?”

“I had an appointment with Heller today, and I am afraid he would feel uncomfortable when he sees my face like that.” She tries to avoid contact with him and steps back. “Mr. Justin gave me a film, saying that I could put on makeup if I wear it.”

Louis looks gloomy, and then he adds, “You didn’t meet Heller?”

“No. It's raining hard today, so I took the bus to the hotel.” Lily gets angry when she mentions this. She complains a little bit more. “I was afraid I would be late, so I called Heller to explain the situation.”

“Heller said he would wait for me, but when I arrived on time on my borrowed mountain bike, the waiter told me that Heller has left. I was so angry that I had to come here to find Mr. Field.”

“Why not tell me?”

Lily purses her lips. “These are my jobs. And Heller has a lot of influence here. I think if he buys shares of the Smith Group, it would be easier for us to find other bosses to buy our shares.”

Louis pauses at removing her makeup.

Lily looks at him in a puzzled way and quickly asks, “Mr. Louis, did I say something wrong?”

“No.” says Louis. After removing her makeup, he dips a cotton pad with water and gently wipes on her face. “If he despises the shares, just change another one.”

“These are the people you can trust, Mr. Louis...”

“No, it's all for their own good.” Louis smiles weakly. “Who wants to buy shares of the Smith Group when they don't know the inside story?”

“Lily, there are a lot of smart businessmen in the world, and they know how to make money. In the future, don't care about the people you can't make appointments with. There will be smart ones who come to you on his own initiative.”

“That will take a lot of time. Olivia and Richard are taking shares in the dark.” says Lily. Besides, the Smith Group’s stocks have dropped to the limit and the factories are closed. What if you lose it?”

Louis chuckles. “What does it matter? I'll pay you back with my money.”

“Mr. Louis, it is not joking!” Lily slaps his hand away angrily, “When the Smith Group was founded, Olivia and Richard didn't make much effort. When the Smith Group develops, everyone has a finger in the pie.”

“The Smith Group belongs to Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith inherits it to you, so the Smith Group is yours. Why should they rob it?”

“They don't care for you. And I don't think you should be kind to them, Mr. Louis. In this time, the rich are the bosses. If you have money, they will flood to fawn on you, but they only fight for taking the Smith Group! “

Louis watches her chatter with a faint smile in his eyes.

Sometimes it's cute to listen to this woman.

“Mr. Louis, are you listening to me?” Lily strips the hair off her cheek to look at him. “If you don't care, I won't help... Oh!”

Louis clasps the back of her head in his palm, and presses his thin lips on hers.

Lily widens her eyes as if she got the electric shock, looking at his dense curling eyelashes.

The eyelashes are really curly.

It isn't until her breath is full of Louis's breath that Lily returns to her senses and pushes him away. Her fingers covering her lips are shaking, and her face is flushed.

Louis is stunned too, rubbing his eyes with his fingers.

He wanted to hold her for some reason, and then his eyes fell on her little mouth, which closed and opened from time to time, and he could not resist the temptation to kiss her. What the hell is going!

“Lily, just now...”

“Nothing happened just now!” Lily stops him from speaking. Her neck is red now. “Mr. Louis is very good at removing makeup, thank you!”

Louis feels a bit unsatisfied as he watches her escape from the bathroom.

During the period when Lily was talking with Louis, everyone outside was already fainted and ran to the bathroom to vomit. But there are more than ten bottles of wine left on the table, and everyone looks gloomy.

Mr. Field and Mr. Ellison are to blame.

When Louis comes out of the bathroom, they rush to beg for mercy, taking turns to say something nice. Some women are even crying aggrievedly.

“I think everyone is indeed a bit drunk, and I won't force you to finish the liquor.” Louis glances across everyone and continues, “You can go out, but...”

Finally, his eyes fall on Mr. Ellison and his voice is cool. “Mr. Ellison looks very drunk,” he says. “Let's slap him and wake him up.”

“Mr. Louis, even if I offended President Lily, I'm still your cousin.” Ellison is panic and he looks blue, “My dad is your uncle, how could you let these people slap me?”

What a shame!

Louis laughs and taps the arms of the wheelchair carelessly. “You just said that I'm just a dog of the Smith family, not worthy of the surname Smith. Now, you say I am your cousin?”

“Being your cousin makes me sick!” Louis's tone changes sharply, and he doesn't want to be kind to Ellison, “You humiliated me and hit my woman. Do you think you can leave unscathed?”

“Ellison, your father didn't teach you how to be a good man, but I will. You either stand there and let everyone slap you, or I will have someone filled your stomach with all the liquor on the table!”
