After all, Bridger wanted money, not Josh's life.Until the shouts behind him gradually faded away, he
stopped his man.Bridger glanced at Josh, who was dying, and then he looked at Sharon.
"I didn't expect you to be so ruthless.You just stood there and watched him suffer.I hope you didn't
forget he is your father."
Sharon's throat so dry that she couldn't speak for seconds, "If he still considers me and Ruben as his
children, he wouldn't come."
Bridger didn't say anything, since it was hard to deny.
"Then what are you going to do?"He said.
Sharon took a deep breath and said, "Here is fifty thousand.As for the rest, it's between you and him.I
don't care if you let him work or do anything to pay you.I do not care.’’
Only through this, those creditors of Josh could understand that Sharon would not repay his debts.
Bridger thought for a few seconds and looked at Ruben, who had been silent, "What about you?"
Ruben's expression was cold, "He deserves it.Do what you need to do."
It was not until he finished, he held Sharon's hand and said, "Let's go."
They left the private room and a subordinate of Bridger asked, "Boss, should we just let them go? What
about our money?"
Bridger turned his head and looked at Josh, who was lying on the ground, "He is our money.’’ Josh had
been in debts, yet he suddenly got two million from somewhere.
If he could do that for once, he could do it twice.
Bridger kneeled and said to Josh who was on the ground, "I'll give you a few more days.But consider it
carefully, the interest will rise day by day.Do not think about escaping.I'll have my men keep an eye on
you.If you play any trick, don't blame me for ending your life."
When they were out of the room, Sharon suddenly felt weak.
If it weren't for Ruben holding her arm, she would have fallen to the ground.
After a long time, Sharon said in a hoarse voice, "Ruben, should we do this to him? After all..."
"You said that if he still considers us his children, he won't be here.Since he has come, we didn't do
anything wrong." Ruben said.
Sharon remained silent.
Although she had long been numb to Josh's deeds, she could not help but feel sorry when she saw him
being beaten and covered with blood.
Ruben said, "Don't worry, he will be fine.You have left the money for them."
Fifty thousand wasn't much, but it could at least keep Josh's life.
"I hope so."
She had asked about Bridger these past few days.He was a loan shark who collected debts.He was
smart and meticulous.He definitely wouldn't do such an unprofitable business as killing people because
he didn't get the money.
When they arrived at Sharon's home, Ruben took out a card from his bag and gave it to Sharon.
Sharon was puzzled, "What is this?"
"There's some money.I don't need it.Take it."
"New semester is coming, and you will need them.Keep it yourself.Why give it to me?"
Ruben stuffed the card into her hand.
"I already saved for that part.This is for you.You are pregnant and there is no one around to take care
of you.Use them to buy anything you need.’’
Sharon wanted to return it, "I don't need it, you...Before she could finish her sentence, Ruben had
turned around and ran away.Sharon looked at his back and smiled.
Ever since Rita was selected by the Proctor Group, she had been in a good mood for days.
It seemed that Mr.Proctor was just joking and pretending he didn't know her.
If she didn't matter to the Proctor Group, she wouldn't have been sent to Paris to study three years ago,
and she wouldn't be nurtured now.
What the Proctor Group had offered to her were the best she could get, which was out of the normal
designers’ reach even they have paid decades of effort.
However, her good mood disappeared when she accidentally heard someone Say at door of the toilet
that the opportunity to go aboard was about to be given to Sharon, but Sharon refused.
That was why Rita could have the chance.
In no time, Rita's face clouded over.
Why was it always Sharon! Three years ago, Sharon won the first prize in the designer competition.
After Sharon refused, Rita could have the chance.
She didn't expect that it would be the same three years later! Why was she always defeated by
Sharon? Returning to her office, Rita took out her phone and called someone, "Have you found
anything about Sharon's ex-husband?"
"No, I haven't.Are you sure she had been married? Maybe it is just an excuse."
"Who knows?"
Sharon had clarified this matter to the media before.
But how could a home wrecker admit that she was a home wrecker? If she was married, why she didn't
want others to know? People may misunderstood that her ex-husband was someone powerful.
In the afternoon, Rita was at Lance's office with a new jewelry collection.
With the Proctor Group's support and the experience of studying abroad, she had both ability and gift.
However, she was too eager for quick success and instant benefits.
People could tell from her design that she really wanted to defeat Sharon.
Lance pressed his temple and said, "There is no problem with your design.However, Lumiere Jewelry
already has the First Love Collection.You can try other styles."
Rita obviously came prepared and said, "It is true that the First Love Collection is quite popular now,
which represents the popularity of its kind on the market.Besides, the style is not completely the
same.Only when the product comes to the public, we can learn which one is more favorable and has a
higher popularity.’’
"You mean if this series of yours has a higher popularity than the First Love collection, then the original
First Love collection can be discontinued?"
"Of course, the fittest survives."
"Rita, I know you want to compete with Ally in everything, but you have to know that we are Lumiere
Jewelry, which is a jewelry retailer company.It's not Olympic games."
His tone was gentle and soft, but his words were sharp.
Rita replied, "Lumiere Jewelry is among the first-tier in the nation.Only through competing with the
others can we make ourselves more outstanding.Those who can't keep up with us can only be weeded
out.’’
"And you never thought that it could be you?" Lance said.
"That's impossible, I..."
"Just because you have been to Paris to study for three years, do you think you're better than Ally?"
Lance said directly, "Let me tell you the truth.Sometimes hard work can't compare to the talent.’’
A subtle change of expression flashed across Rita's face.
Lance continued, "That's called the fittest survives.Do you understand?"
