"Do you think I will buy it?" Alex says aggressively again. Aileen feels that his attitude now is similar to Richard, which makes her feel a little scared.
Undoubtedly, Alex catches her trembling right away.
"Are you afraid of me now?"
"No matter what happens, you are still my brother. I just hope you can help me one last time," Aileen still pleads determinedly.
"Why should I help you? I have already told you. That was the last time I would help you. I will never make an exception for you." Alex is determined.
"Don’t be so stubborn. This is just a piece of cake for you. I know that the company you are now running has grown stronger and stronger. So I know that you have enough capabilities to be as powerful as you used to be.
"I don't expect that you're so good at currying favor with others now."
"Alex, don't say anything like this anymore. I only come to find you because there's no other way," Aileen says desperately.
"Why do you think I will help you?"
"Just because I am your sister," Aileen says firmly.
"I can let you go. But I will never let Richard get away from this."
A look of pure hatred flashes across Alex's face.
"I won't let you hurt him as long as I'm here. You can only hurt him over my dead body. Otherwise, I will never let you lay a finger on Richard." Aileen wants to be the only one that can hurt Richard. It will be too easy for him if they just kill Richard in this way, so Aileen will never allow this to happen. She has to be the one that does it.
"Alex, please just help me this time. Leave the rest to me. I promise I won't let you down." Aileen swears to him with determination, but Alex doesn't trust her anymore. "Do you think I will believe what you are saying now?"
"I know you won't believe what I say now, but if you give me some time, I will let you know that everything I do is just for..." Alex interrupts her before she can finish.
"For what? Don't you feel ashamed when you talk to me? You have already made Mom and Dad so mad. Do you still want to anger me?" Alex is very tough.
"Alex, please, I'm begging you." Aileen is so emotional that she even kneels down because she knew she doesn't have much time.
Alex doesn't care no matter what she says and shouts in an angry tone, "Do you think you can just kneel on me and everything will be fine?"
"Alex, I know that you are not a hard-hearted person." After getting along with Alex for a long while, she also begins to know her brother. He talks harshly but in reality, he has a soft heart. As long as she begs him again, he will definitely agree to help her. Aileen is positive about this.
