Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 516

"Yes, perhaps, I will never understand," Brian sneered. "But Molly's life hadn't been simple at all. Why on earth would she want a simple life? This isn't about you, Spark. What about Mark? What about Daniel? Could she leave them both behind? Spark, this is the real world and there are so many things about it that you don't understand. Molly was depressed. She was diagnosed with it. Do you really think that you could make her happy by just playing the violin for her? No, it wasn't because of you. It was all because of Mark. Mark is the most important thing for her right now. She would never leave him behind. And because I know how important Mark is, I know for a fact that Molly will soon come running back to me. I don't even have to lift a finger," said Brian.

His voice was getting muffled in the rain but to Molly and Spark, it was crystal clear. Before either of them could respond, Brian added, "Daniel has a drug addiction to a very expensive drug called cold heart. Not to mention how strong it is. That makes it very difficult to rehabilitate him. One injection costs ten million. If Molly stays with you, how can you support Daniel? You can't afford it. Even if you succumb to his addiction, you can't afford to fund his drug habit."

Molly and Spark felt like their insides were exploding as each of Brian's words dropped in the air.

"Brian, Daniel only became addicted because of you! Tell me that's not true!" Molly screamed. She was trembling and wrestling herself free from Brian and Spark's tight grip on her arms. She didn't hold back, "Why? Why did you have to give him drugs? Why? Since you want me to be with you, why don't you just drug me too! That way I'll really never be able to leave you! Right?"

A pain shoot through Brian's heart. He loosened her grip on her, "Molly, I won't even dignify that with a response. If that's how you look at it then fine. But don't you dare come to me complaining one day because as far as I'm concerned, I've been clear since day one. Spark, meanwhile was still gripping on Molly's hand. "Molly, Spark can't help you and neither can Eric," Brian added.

Returning his eyes to Molly's, Brian said, "You know what I'm capable of. I can make Eric disappear from your sight if I wanted to." He took a step towards Molly when he saw her open her mouth. He placed his mouth near Molly's ear and whispered so that only she could hear him, "Don't try me. I'm a Long. Even if I started a hostile takeover to overthrow Eric, Uncle Frank wouldn't say a word." With a faint smile, he continued, "Didn't I tell you? It's perfectly normal for the Longs to fight with each other. In fact, it's encouraged. The older ones particularly like it when the younger ones compete so no one will bother when I pick a fight with Eric. But even then, I'd never lose while Eric will. And do you know why, Molly?"

Molly was still unable to respond. After all, how could she respond to such a question in such a situation?

"The only thing he has going for him is the Dragon Empire Group. And if I pick a fight with him, I'm going to be going for his shares so it doesn't matter if I lose. Nothing's on the stake for me. All I need to do is come back stronger. Right?" An evil smile slowly formed on Brian's mouth, his eyes like a dark, bottomless ocean at night.

He'd already done this to her so many times, what harm would one more time do. He said, "Molly, are you really going to make me deal with everyone around you?"

"Brian, why don't you just die?" Molly hissed.

Brian chuckled. No one else's laugh sent shivers down people's spine the same way he did. His laugh was as bloodthirsty and evil as the manjusaka in hell.

"If you stay with me..." Brian continued to laugh meaningfully, "why would I be scared?"

Spark didn't know what Brian said to Molly but he knew Molly well enough after spending the last four years with her. And he saw that Molly was troubled and that her heart suffering. He couldn't do anything but mumble weakly, "Mol, no..."
