Wendy Lim was standing close to Charlie Hogg so she could hear the echo of his gruff voice.
His voice was lingering with the wind from the river.
Wendy Linn's heart skipped a beat.
His deep eyes were like black holes which could absorb people into it. He opened his thin lips and said, "I'll give you 30,000 dollars a month. You can tell me what you want, including jewelries, bags, houses, or cars. I'll satisfy you if you make me happy!"
Finally, he stared at Wendy Lim’ s eyes with invitation in his eyes.
His words made Wendy Lim feel that she was standing in the Arctic, which was so frozen but also kept her clam.
He would offer 30,000 dollars which was ten times the previous amount that he provided.
Should Wendy Lim be happy? She seemed to be more valuable in his eyes.
The wound on her left wrist was slightly painful, however, Wendy Lim could not feel painful but ridiculous now. She pushed Charlie Hogg's chest with her hands. She pushed so hard for the second time that she took a step back but quickly stood firm.
"Not so good."
Wendy Lim looked at his narrowed black eyes and answered for the second time, "I refuse!"
"Don't you need time to think about it?" Charlie Hogg lowered his voice.
Wendy Lim gave a faint smile, turned around and left the deck without answering.
Charlie Hogg snorted and moved his eyes away from Wendy Urn's receding figure. Then, he kicked the iron trash bin next to him into the river, making the lid separate from the bin and splashing water around.
After sending Nurse Hsia off the cruise, Farr Chiang ran to Charlie Hogg nervously, "Mr. Hogg, are you all right?"
"I’m fine." Charlie Hogg calmed down and answered.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
