Franklin nearly spit out two mouthfuls of biood: “I ...... you really opened my eyes.Elaine she would
have been .....”
“Don't worry, I didn't do anything”
Franklin grunted coldly and threw his hands behind his back.
He wouldn't have just waited downstairs if he didn't know that Darnell the man was in and out.
Darnell said, “It's late tonight, so I'll come back and visit another time”
After the words, he nodded again and left.
Waiting for Darnell's figure to disappear from sight for a long time, Franklin reacted, how did he just call
him, you?
Franklin was once again exasperated.
He's really good at downgrading himself.
However, the next morning, when Franklin saw the marks on Elaine's neck, or anger rubbed off to the
top of the head, what
the progress and retreat are all bullshit, Darnell can climb his window in the middle of the night, into his
daughter's room, there is a hell of a face and bottom line.
Elaine drank milk while yawning, sleepy-eyed, watching her father's face change ugly to the naked eye,
puzzled, “Dad,
what's wrong with you?”
Franklin didn't just poke her and embarrass her in the end, but eased up: “Elaine, you ....."
The words came to my lips, but I didn't know how to say them for a while.
Elaine’s mother died early, Franklin has always been more indulgent towards her, like a lot of private
issues, he let the family
maids teil her, but this kind of thing, where can let the maids know.
Seeing that he didn't finish the rest of his sentence for half a day, Elaine was full of confusion: “Dad,
what are you going to
say:
Franklin held his breath and said in a deep voice, “It's nothing, let's eat”
After eating, Elaine was still sleepy and ready to go back to her room to catch up on her sleep.
She slept straight through until noon, when she was awakened by a rustling noise coming from outside
her window.
Elaine pushed open the window, and before a yawn was complete, she was stunned by the scene
before her.
The garden downstairs, which has been turned into a large pond, is covered with small barbs on the
fifty centimeter wide
steps outside the window.
And Franklin was standing a short distance away, directing the construction.
Elaine instantly came to her senses: "Daddy, what are you doing?"
Hearing her voice, Franklin looked up: “Didn't you always complain about the summer heat before?
Now that it's almost
summer, tum this place into a pool, it can be much cooler and the air should be fresher”
Elaine looks at the little barbs: "So these .....”
Franklin did not change his face: "Summer is here, there are many wild cats scurrying around, which
will disturb your rest."
Elaine propped her arm on the windowsill: “But I'm going to Switzerland next month.
“it doesn't affect it, so come downstairs for lunch when you wake up.”
Elaine responded and took out her phone again to take a picture and send it to Darnell.
Elaine: [Fortunately, you came last night, my father suddenly changed the pool downstairs today, a pity
oh.
On the other hand, Darnell received her message and raised his hand to the comer of his forehead,
losing his smile a little.
In the meeting room, the senior executives who were reporting their work held their breath at the sight:
"Mr. Jiang, is there
something wrong with this proposal?"
Darnell put down the phone, his expression returned to normal, and spoke lightly: "Nothing, continue”
After the meeting, the assistant walked up next to Darnell and whispered, "Master of Riverside, Miss
Ariel is waiting for you
in her office.”
Darnell hmmed and lifted his leg forward.
In the president's office, Ariel sits on the couch, her face still sickly white.
When she saw Darnell enter, she stood up.
Darnell sat across from her, "You shouldn't have been discharged early”
Ariel slowly sat down again and pulled her lips into a smile, “I heard that you took on the McPherson
family. Why?”
Darnell looked at her, his gaze cold for a few moments, “You're the second person to ask me that”
Ariel paused, her smile a little astringent: "Then that's a good indication of how surprising this move of
yours is."
She put on the sofa hand clenched: "Do you know, Elaine is the James family put out a bait, you do so
is into their trap, they
once know with Elaine can blackmail you, that ......°
“They can try.”
Ariel is Instantly a little powerless: “Yes, now the James family has no one dare to do so, but what
about the others, you
have so many enemies, if they know, have you thought about the consequences are what, do you want
to give up for Elaine ......“
"That's enough.” Darnell interrupted her in a cold voice, "I've thought through the consequences since I
did this. I'm not
going to put her in danger or give them the opportunity to blackmail me.”
Ariel opened her mouth for a long time before she spoke, "I didn't expect that you would make this
choice in the end."
She had thought that was the end of it when Darnell sent Nicolas to Switzerland.
But to my surprise, that was just the beginning.
Darnell's tone was waveless: “Go back to the hospital.”
Ariel looked at him again, “If Elaine had really fallen for Nicolas back in Switzertand, would you have
regretted it”
“No regrets.”
“I'm lucky if I get it, I'm lucky if I lose it.”
In the days that followed, every time Elaine went out, the family maids found different excuses to follow
her.
At first Elaine really believed it, but more and more, and realized what.
When she returned in the evening, she found Franklin and said with some anger, "Dad, why do you
always let them spy on me and restrict my travel”
Franklin looked at the book and spoke slowly and leisurely: “I didn't ask them to spy on you, it's just that
it's not convenient for you to carry your own things when you go out shopping, wouldn't it be better to
have someone to help you?"
"But there are bodyguards following me.”
“They get too close to you and you recoil.”
Elaine protests, "That would repulse me too!”
Franklin closed the book: "Elaine, they didn't restrict your travel, and neither did I. You can see whoever
you want, and Dad didn't keep you from going.”
“But ...... but it's inconvenient for me when you're like this ......"
“Why is it inconvenient?”
Elaine was speechless for a moment, unable to speak.
Franklin said, “Well, if you feel inconvenient, just stay at home, what you want, Dad let people send
you, you can also invite friends back to play, Dad is not opposed to."
Elaine twisted her head: “You clearly said before that I could go see Darnell, just keep a low profile, and
now you are clearly not wanting me to find him, you are doing it on purpose!”
Franklin did not change his face: "You can go ah, Dad did not say, you want to see anyone.”
Elaine couldn't talk him out of it, so she stomped her foot and puffed up and went back to her room.
Seeing her like this, Franklin finally showed a satisfied smile.
A few moments later, the smile on his face finally closed up, took out the letter and pen pressed under
the desk, and continued writing.
