Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 299

.The sound of her footsteps echoed in the lonely building at midnight. The atmosphere was sad. Molly walked downstairs step by step, clenching and releasing her hands. She kept telling herself to remember the humiliation she suffered in the elevator just now. Brian's teasing was way more heartbreaking than all the humiliation she suffered in her life. This was someone she trusted, poured her heart out to.

Molly didn't meet Edgar in the parking lot after she left Grand Night Casino. Right now, she forgot everything and was unable to think at all. She just trekked back home like a puppet. She finally got in and collapsed on the sofa. It was almost 3 o'clock in the morning.

The winter nights were longer. No matter how long the night, though, the world always welcomed the daylight. When the morning's light dawned in the east, the sun drenched the earth in warm daylight.

Molly didn't sleep the whole night. She just sat on the sofa, eyes dull. She didn't even make her way to her room until Steven and the others were up.

"You need to be there by 10," Steven said when he saw Molly.

Molly paused and turned her head. After a while, she nodded and continued walking to her room.

Steven frowned, seeing Molly so tired and lost. Meanwhile, he felt guilty.

At ten o'clock in the morning.

Molly sat in front of that man who only lived in her memory. She wasn't shy or excited at all. Instead, she was rather distant with no emotion on her face. She didn't sleep last night and was heartbroken and humiliated thanks to what happened in the elevator. Now she was struggling so much that she even made no response when facing "Rory".

"Molly, I'm here to take you home," Justin looked at Molly and said in a somber tone.

Molly stared at "Rory" blankly for quite a long time. Suddenly a mocking smile cracked into her mouth. She typed,"I'm not going anywhere. I'm a grown-up now and I don't need a guardian."

Justin did not expect that Molly would reject him out of hand like that. "I know you're angry with me because of what happened, but that's not what I want, either."

"What happened? Did anything happen? Sorry. I don't remember. And I don't need to," Molly typed calmly on her phone.

And then she continued,"Let's get one thing straight. What happened isn't important, regardless of whether we're together or not. I like my life a lot now, and don't want to get involved in yours.

Stay out of my way."

Molly showed her words to "Rory". After a while, she assumed he might have finished reading. She took a look at him, stood up and then turned around to leave without any hesitation.

"Molly!" Justin called her name.

Molly turned a deaf ear to him and kept walking out of the coffee shop. However, she was stopped by the cold men the moment she arrived at the gate. She lowered her eyes and again, a mocking smile spread over her face. She turned around to look at "Rory" who was walking towards her. There was nothing but indifference in her eyes. This was shaping up to be good. The moment of truth.

"Molly, can't you just give me a chance to make this right? We're father and daughter." Justin asked, sounding pained.

Molly giggled all of a sudden. How often did she want a loving father? She even couldn't remember. She had already forgotten what it was like to have a loving father, and she didn't need it anymore. She was so over it.

"I even don't give myself any chances. Why would I give you another one?"

Her words were indifferent and distant. Molly typed again,"Call your goons off."

A complicated emotion emerged in Justin's eyes yet he fought to keep it inside. That feeling vanished immediately. "Molly, you're my daughter, I have to…"

"She's my woman now!" Suddenly, a cool voice came from behind them. Brian interrupted Justin deliberately. His appearance was out of the blue. Molly and Justin were still shocked, but Tony followed him like always.

Molly frowned while Justin and his two men were still recovering from the shock. She stared at Brian with dry eyes. She hated it so much when he said those words. She was no one's woman but her own.

Brian cast a sidelong glance at Molly and saw every emotion on her face. His black eyes stopped on her for a second and then looked ahead. He gave a sharp and cold stare at the two men who stopped Molly. The two men suddenly felt frozen by his gaze. They were chilled to their souls. They gave way to Brian instinctively.

Brian walked over to Molly and stood in front of her. He took her hand naturally, his fingers pinching hers. "Mol, why didn't you listen to me, hm?" he said to her in a low and sexy tone, as if someone was playing the cello.

Molly frowned and stared at Brian hatefully, teeth gritted.

"I told you I'd pick you up and take you back to the villa. Why didn't you wait for me? You didn't tell me you were leaving," Brian whispered at her ear gently like an angel. He said this in a half-doting half-angry tone. He chose to ignore the anger he saw in Molly's eyes. He said again nonchalantly,"If you need to go see someone, I'll go with you. I'm worried about you being all alone." Brian took a look at Justin who changed his face all of a sudden.

Just then, Brian tried to smile. He cracked a slight smile yet his eyes didn't reflect the smile. It was weird and cold. He raised his eagle-like eyes and looked at Justin defiantly, and then greeted him slowly,"Mr. Justin Yan, Vice President. Nice to meet you!"

Just then, Molly's eyes went wide. She spun around to face Justin. She was extremely shocked and confused now!
