Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 47

Kieran glanced at me indifferently. "Rachael, you are my employee. As the boss, I don't need to report my thoughts to you."

"Why didn't you tell me, Kieran? Why didn't you tell me!" Tears streamed down my cheeks. I had only felt cold with Marlon just now, because the man I deeply loved had driven a sword through my heart. But now, I felt wronged. The grievance was intense and inexplicable.

Kieran's eyes froze as he coldly said, "Rachael, I've said you shouldn't thank me too early. I have no obligation to correct your mistakes!"

I didn't know how to answer that. He spoke the one truth I refused to admit the most—I trusted him because he helped me.

But he was never obliged to remind me of my errors.

I was in flood of tears. Staring at Kieran, I couldn't utter a sound but didn't feel angry. My trust for him was gone, and there was nothing left between us.

Kieran looked weird and turned to gaze out of the window, saying, "Rachael, remember, I never do business at a loss, so your tears are worthless to me!"

I smiled and sobbed, "I know!" I bowed to him properly and left.

I calmly walked on the road, tears gently rolling down. I let them fall freely and put on a wry smile.

This taught me I couldn't blame anyone for the cruel truth. I was too naïve and kind, perhaps useless, and that was why I was taken advantage of.

That was right. What could I blame others for? If I hadn't trusted Marlon and had the English translated into Chinese, or if I had not been in a hurry to sign the contract, things wouldn't have been like this.

But I had to solve the problem instead of being in denial. Besides, Marlon had given me the solution.

Would my heart hurt? I touched my chest and smiled. It was probably numb from the pain, so I couldn't feel anything.

Step by step, I walked towards Marlon's company. Since this was what he wanted, then I would agree to it. Besides, I had no other way.

Ten billion!

I didn't even have a hundred thousand, let alone ten billion!

So, heart, please don't feel pain anymore, okay? Because you would only suffer more harm and humiliation.

I forced a smile for myself.

I had never counted how many steps it took to get from Universal Group to Marlon Group. But today, I made the trip on foot. I stood at the gate of Marlon Group, wiped my tears, smiled, and walked in.

"It's fast!" Marlon seemed a little surprised to see me. "I thought you needed more time to think about your relationship with Kieran!"

I stood there without saying a word.

"Right, I haven't even asked about your answer. Is it a no?" Although Marlon asked a question, his eyes were filled with cruel joy.

"Mr. Redford, it is a yes!" I smiled.

Marlon gazed at me and sneered, which made my hair stand on end, but I continued, "So, Mr. Redford, please redraft a contract!"

Marlon lifted his slender legs and placed them on a luxurious desk. He squinted and looked at me with contempt. "Rachael, I thought you had a deep affection for Kieran. I didn't expect you to betray him so easily. No surprise, you would betray anything for money!"

"Yes, Mr. Redford, I am that person you just described. My body, my everything.... They are all for sell!" I smiled as I greeted his gaze.

One experience after another told me he was right. Nothing was more important than money.

"Rachael, you're so cheap!"

I just smiled, "Mr. Redford, we are not lovers, and this isn't a date. I am after money, and you wouldn't let others touch your old stuff. Therefore, I think it is best to hurry up and get down to business. You have all the time in the world to humiliate me. I am yours entirely. You can destroy me however you want!"

Marlon glared at me and said coldly, "As you wish!" Then he casually threw a contract in front of me. "Sign this first!"

I picked it up and saw it was about my obligation to him as a mistress. "Mr. Redford, let's sign the project contract first. I'm afraid you will lie to me again!" I said.

Marlon smiled, "Rachael, you are smarter now threatening me like this!"

I stood there silently.

"However, I don't take threat. If you don't sign this contract, fine. Universal Group still owes me 10.5 billion!" Marlon said slowly.

"You!" I was so angry that I couldn't say anything, but Marlon ignored me and started to pack up to get off work.

"Okay. I will sign this!" I said and gritted my teeth. Marlon only snorted with contempt.

I picked up the pen beside me and looked at the signature area. What was there for me to worry about? As long as the money problem could be settled, I could take some torture and humiliation.

"Rachael, I knew you were here!" Kieran suddenly pushed open the door and came in. I looked at Kieran and was dumbfounded. I didn't understand why he was here.

"What are you doing here?" Marlon frowned, his eyes filled with displeasure and irritation.

Kieran walked to me, bent down, and looked at the contract. He smiled and rubbed my head, saying, "I knew you would do this!" As he spoke, he took away the pen and contract in my hand.

"This is between me and her!" Marlon took a step forward. Kieran and Marlon met eyes, and coldness pervaded the room.

I stood between them and didn't dare to speak, because I wasn't sure why Kieran came. Was he here to save me? I smiled bitterly. How was that possible! If he wanted to help me, he would have when I was in his office just now or when he read the contract. What was the point of doing it now?

"Rachael is my girlfriend. You asked my girlfriend to sign such a contract with you? Mr. Redford, tell me if I have a say in this." Kieran smiled and slowly said as he hugged me tightly into his embrace.

I gaped at Kieran. What the hell did he just say?

"Say it again!" Marlon approached and glared at Kieran like an angry beast, ready to attack at any moment.
