Chapter 77 Deloris And Cayne
Caroline knew that she was being crazy.
But at that moment, in Bentley's eyes, she was amazing and even more amazing than herself three years ago. She didn't seem to know it.
"Tell me."
She wasn't afraid to lose anything because she had nothing to lose.
"I want..." Bentley said in confusion and his voice stopped abruptly.
His expression changed and he glanced at that woman, "What can you offer me?"
He had always been rational and cool. That was how he always like. He couldn't let a woman mess up his pace.
The words of his grandfather were lingering in his ears. He said, "If one day there is someone who can affect your emotions and your decisions, you will have to kill him without any hesitation."
Caroline suddenly thought of Delores and thought to herself, "Delores, I am still so useless."
"Why?"
"Why? Mr. Shawn, I am nothing to you anymore. Why can't you just let me go? It's just like you spare an animal its life. It's just so simple and easy for you. Why can't you just let me go?"
She said depressingly, "I know you hate me. But I have been in prison for three years and I have nothing left. What's the point of you keeping me?"
Bentley chuckled softly, "Caroline, do you think three years is a lot? Three years and a human life. Which one is more priceless? Of course, I want to keep you and torture you slowly until you pay off the life that you owe."
"Even if I'm willing to let you go, have you ever thought that old man, Mr. Carter? Winnie was the only family that he has left."
"If I'm going to let you go that easily, how am I supposed to explain to Mr. Carter?"
Caroline stopped talking and lowered her head. Bentley frowned as the desperation that he saw in her just now disappeared. She became a timid woman and that made him unhappy.
"Mr. Shawn..." When Bentley stretched out his hand to her, Caroline suddenly raised her head, "Mr. Shawn, as you said, as long as I earn 5 million dollars within a month, you will let me choose to leave or stay."
"Mr. Shawn, you are the person in charge of the Shawns in Lehcaster. You are sure that you will keep your promise, right?"
Caroline wanted to try her best to make it happen. Otherwise, she would never be able to pay back Delores's favor.
The girl once said that she had never been to Gartane Lake, and she wanted to open a homestay on the edge of Gartane Lake. After that, she closed her eyes and never opened them again.
Caroline was waiting for Bentley's answer and decision.
But at that moment, Bentley's heart was filled with anger. He couldn't take that woman being so determined to leave him.
The fire of his anger was raging in his heart, but his expression was cold, "Of course. But let me remind you, there is not much time left in that one-month deadline."
He had already instructed Marissa and he didn't think that woman could get 5 million dollars in the end.
Not to mention that was 5 million dollars. Even if it was five hundred dollars, she would be unable to make any cents from that day onwards.
Hearing that, Caroline seemed to be slightly relieved. That man in front of her could read her move, even a small one.
Bentley narrowed his eyes and looked sarcastic.
He raised his slender legs and went around to the couch on the other side. Then, he picked up the financial magazine on the table and sat down. After that, he asked her to leave, "Leave now."
Caroline didn't want to stay there either.
As soon as she got up from the couch, she walked towards the elevator. But she didn't know there was a pair of deep eyes looking at her back and watching her till she got into the elevator.
The moment the elevator door closed, Caroline glanced at Bentley, who was in the living room. He began to read the magazine calmly without raising his head.
She closed her eyes.
In the Sawyer Group.
