Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 49

"Cheryl, what do you mean?" I asked, but Cheryl didn't want to say anything else. She only told me to keep my distance from Mr. Charles and hurried back.

When I got home, I felt calm, which was a rare case. I played back the things that had happened in the past few days and I found some level of clarity.

Marlon disdained me from the beginning, then ditched me, and set a big trap for me to jump into, all to gain absolute control over me. I thought about it and smiled faintly. First, he felt threatened by Kieran and didn't want him to touch me, whom he had owed before. In his words, he would rather destroy me than let others have me. How selfish and cruel was that!

Second, he thought the same way as Kieran. They were men and mortal enemies.

At that thought, I found myself ridiculous. Marlon Group and Universal Group were archenemies, which was obvious. So, naturally, Marlon and Kieran were, too.

Then I understood why I wasn't crippled when I first met Kieran, and he even showed his favor to me. Besides, the first time Kieran brought me to a banquet, we met Marlon. I had a strange feeling then. Now that I thought about it, it was the hatred I sensed between them. Kieran investigated me and found out about my relationship with Marlon as well as with the Cornells. Then he decided to take advantage of me.

I looked at the night outside the window and smiled softly. Kieran was right. It was my ignorance to blame. Besides, he kept telling me not to thank him too early!

Kieran had cautioned me against him!

But I found it weird as to what good could I serve in Kieran's plan to harm Marlon, who hated me to the gut. However, there was one thing Kieran was right about. If I wanted to get revenge on the Cornells, there was no better choice than to be his girlfriend.

I took a deep breath and looked at the reflection on the window. "Rachael, from now on, don't trust anyone ever again!"

It was getting late, but I had trouble sleeping. I didn't fall asleep until before dawn, but I was awakened by the alarm. I quickly freshened up and went out.

"Ms. Cornell!" As soon as I opened the door, I saw Armand standing quietly outside my apartment.

"Armand?" Because this bodyguard of Kieran was handsome and his name was special, I couldn't forget about him. Besides, he seemed to be pretty close to Kieran, which set him apart from the other bodyguards.

"Ms. Cornell, the car is waiting for you downstairs!" Armand said.

"What car!" I was puzzled.

"Mr. Charles sent me to pick you up for work!" Armand explained.

I was shocked.

I quickly refused, "No need. I can take the bus!"

"Ms. Cornell, you are Mr. Charles' girlfriend now. It's not appropriate to take the bus, is it?"

I didn't know what to say.
