Jeffrey nodded to indicate he understood.
“Alright, I will immediately inform Miss Miller. With Miss Garcia, Miss Miller can play her role perfectly as your wife and she no longer needs to donate blood to you monthly. But…”
Jeffrey paused slightly before mustering enough courage to ask, “Mr. Harris, do you really intend to buy over Miss Garcia’s life? Besides, if Miss Miller were to learn of this, I am afraid there will be troubles ahead.
Lawrence knitted his brows hard.
He stood in front of the elevator and watched his own blurred and somehow unfamiliar reflection on the steel door, and he blurted out after suddenly lifting his mouth, “I’m just playing around. Why so serious?”
“If Charlotte wants freedom, she will get it when I die or when she kills me.”
Jeffrey couldn’t find any words to continue the conversation.
…
Charlotte continued to stand by the window until she saw with her own eyes Lawrence’s departure before turning back and returning to the living room.
As soon as she sat down, her phone which was on the table suddenly rang.
Seeing “Evelyn” was being displayed on the screen, Charlotte felt her face becoming emotionless. She promptly answered the call.
“Charlotte here.”
Evelyn’s voice came through on the receiver.
“Well, you are a lucky cat! The family who is the benefactor of your blood-donating has fetched me a news that they have found a more suitable blood donor. They don’t need you anymore.”
Charlotte was stunned for a moment.
“They don’t… need me?” She widened her eyes in disbelief as she sought to confirm this fact, “Is that for real?”
If she didn’t need to get her blood taken anymore, did that mean she was going to recapture a newfound freedom? Then, her father and younger brother…
Before she could process this thoroughly, Evelyn interrupted her while sounding very anxious, “I know what you are thinking. Don’t even dream of that! Without this massive amount of income, the Garcia family is my last resort here. I won’t return to you your father and brother. You need to do what you should do!”
After that, the line went into busy tone.
