Draven narrowed his eyes. Although he didn’t answer, the expression on his face. showed that he wanted to ask something.
The old man smiled indifferently and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to call me great-uncle. Everyone is like this, especially young people. They are born to be rebellious. I like you young people very much. You always have a will and are willing to sacrifice yourself for others. You are all of good quality!”
“Where is she?”
Draven went straight to the point.
Of course, he was not a fool who knew nothing.
Looking into the old man’s smiling eyes, Draven restrained the emotions in his words.
“I want her to be safe. What do you want me to do?”
Everything had its price. As a businessman, Draven naturally knew this.
The old man laughed heartily. “It’s different from talking to a smart child.”
He didn’t go along with Draven’s request. Instead, he poured a cup of hot coffee on the coffee table and took a sip.
Draven was concerned about Cierra’s safety and took a step forward. “No matter what you ask, I’ll agree to it. Tell me where she is.”
“Young man…”
The old man was still tasting the coffee, blowing a layer of mist on it. He sighed and shook his head, “You are still too young after all.”
The coffee cup hit the glass of the coffee table, making a light sound.
He raised his eyes and restrained his smile. “You didn’t even ask me what my condition was. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll make some excessive demands? Is it worth it to sell yourself for a woman?”
At this moment, Draven was only concerned about Cierra’s safety.
All he knew was that the more time he delayed, the more of a threat Cierra would face.
He couldn’t care about anything else.
“In this world, if everything is calculated to be worthy or not, it will be too tiring. I only know that she is very important to me. No matter what can help to save her, I will agree.
As for your request…”
He paused for a moment. His eyes met the old man’s, and a smile appeared on his thin lips.
“As an elder, what outrageous demands can you make of me? If I really can’t fulfill it, I think it’s useless for you to force me. If I can fulfill it, since I’ve agreed, it will come true for my promise. You should have investigated me before coming here and known what kind of person I am.”
He would probably fulfill his promise.
Just like what he had done to Aleah in the past, he had seen what kind of person she was,
but he still stubbornly kept his promise and even hurt Cierra.
Now that he thought about it, it wasn’t something to be proud of.
For example, filial piety would become a foolish filial piety when it reached the point where good and bad could not be distinguished.
But right now, Draven didn’t mind using his stupidity to negotiate with the old man.
The old man had investigated what stupid things Draven had done in the past.
But for the elders, it was easy to forgive young people’s mistakes.
At this age, they only cared about the result, and the process was not important.
He was very optimistic about the development of the Trevino Group.
Therefore, he didn’t blame Draven for his past.
However, he still did not directly inform him of the news about Cierra.
“You and Miss Barton have divorced. Even if I tell you the address and you go to save her now,
she may not be willing to change her mind about you. If she marries someone else in the future, will you regret what you do today?”
He was simply asking Draven if it was worth it to choose another way for a woman.
