Chapter 107 No Photos
Maryy on the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt.
She picked up the phone to check the time. It was ten a.m. No wonder the sun was so bright!
It was all his fault! His fault! Gritting her teeth, Mary sat up and looked at the pile of clothes she had
brought back from the floor.
She stretched and donned her pajamas. The bathroom beckoned. She wanted to head there to
wash away all the traces ofst night!
As soon as she walked out, she happened to see Williaming out of the master bedroom. He
had changed his clothes and was apparently leaving for work.
Mary nced at him and made her way to the bathroom, bringing a towel.
"Hey..." William said to Mary.
"What''s up?" Mary''s expression was cold, just like her feelings toward him.
Left hand covering his mouth, William coughed unnaturally and said, "Ahem..." The silence sat
awkwardly between them. "You don''t have to show up to work today... Just get some rest here."
Mary''s face turned red all of a sudden. She bit her lips and didn''t answer. She knew what he meant.
"I''m taking off, then."
William strode across the living room and walked out of the apartment.
Mary breathed a sigh of relief and hit the bathroom.
After filling the tub with hot water, shey down in it. It was the best analgesic, because as soon as
she settled into the water the pain left her body.
She slowly closed her eyes. Mary was sofortable right now. But thoughts that weren''t so
comforting sprang to her mind.
Why did he make love to her? Their marriage wasn''t real —it was a sham. ''Mary, you were so
ridiculous. What should you do now? Could you still escape?''
Tears fell from her eyes and ran down her face. The instant they reached the lovely contours of her
jaw, they fell into the water and disappeared without a trace.
When William arrived at thepany, a gaggle of reporters had gathered at thepany gate.
When they saw William''s caring towards them, they gathered together and surrounded the car,
waiting for him to get out. "Out of the way!" a security guard shouted. A group of bodyguards and
security guards pushed their way through the crowd. "Put those cameras away! No photos!"
After adjusting his suit and tie, William opened the door and walked out with a poker face.
The reporters were undeterred. "Mr. Lan, a minute of your time... Mr. Lan!"
"You''re close to Victor. Why do you think he left the entertainment industry so suddenly?"
"I heard that you and Victor don''t get along well. Is that true?"
"Victor hasn''t given any interviews yet. Do you know what''s going on?"
"What do you think of what Victor did?"
William ignored the barrage of questions and entered thepany safely, as his bodyguards and
security personnel ringed around him to protect him from pictures and the paparazzi.
''I was a damn fool, Victor, to let you keep working here. Now we''re all paying the price.''
William walked into the elevator with sharp eyes.
In Tokyo, Japan.
"Nancy," said Elise with a sigh. "Rest up, okay? Your father and I wille to see youter." They
waited for her to respond, but Nancy held her tongue. Seeing her like this, Felipe and Elise shook
their heads and walked out of the ward.
Standing outside the ward, Frank put his hands in his pockets. When he saw his parentse out,
he quickly stepped aside.
As soon as Felipe came out and spotted him, he snorted and said sarcastically, "Oh, are you still
here? You should be happy the baby is gone. Just go!"
Frank frowned and said nothing.
As soon as they were out of earshot, Frank sighed and walked into the ward.
Nancy turned her head to take a look at the maning in, but looked away quickly when she saw
who it was.
"Nancy," Frank said, trying to get her attention. He sat next to the bed and said, "You fell down the
stairs on purpose, didn''t you?"
"Yes." Nancy finally opened her mouth and said the first word she''d said in more than a few days.
"Why?" Frank frowned, "I thought you wanted to keep the kid. Why did you do that?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on Nancy''s pale face. "Divorce," she said simply.
Then she turned, took out a divorce agreement from the small cab on the left and handed it to
Frank.
"Just sign it." Expressionless, Nancy closed her eyes and said, "I''m tired. I need sleep in the worst
way. You can leave whenever you want."
With the agreement in hand, Frank felt both heavy and relieved all at once.
He''d been waiting for this day. This wasn''t how he imagined it going, wasn''t the way he wanted it to
be, but he knew it wasing.
"Sleep tight. You''ll see me again." Frank stood up and said, "I''m paying for everything. Don''t worry
about that."
He left, closing the door to the ward behind him. Nancy opened her eyes, now filled with tears.
''Frank, it''s really over. I don''t want to see you again.''
At Kylin International
Mary didn''t leave the tub till the water was nearly cold.
"William! You bastard!"
She was still angry. Sitting in his office, William suddenly sneezed. He wondered if it was because
he had taken too many cold showers and caught a cold.
"Boss," Jane stood in front of him with a document in her arms and asked, "are you getting a cold?"
"I don''t know. Maybe." Without raising his head, William robotically signed his name on one of her
documents, like he had a hundred times before.
"Oh," Jane nodded and asked, "Well... Why didn''t Marye to work this morning?"
Jane looked at William with a guilty conscience. She took Mary out for drinksst night. If William
med her, she would be finished.
Hearing her question, William frowned. He couldn''t tell her it was because of him, could he?
William stopped writing and looked up at her. "I''m busy now. We''ll chat after work!"

"Well..." Jane was startled. She thought William was going to punish her, so she decided to confess
and admit her fault. "Boss, I was wrong!
I shouldn''t have taken Mary out drinkingst night! Boss, please don''t me me. Please don''t fire
me! Please!"
"Hmm?" Hearing that, William frowned and asked, "What did you say? Did you drink with herst
night?"
"Yes," Jane nodded repeatedly. "Mary drank a lot, but I couldn''t stop her. She couldn''t even stand
up right. I drove her home, and tried to make sure she got inside okay. Is she still asleep?" "She
woke up. Don''t do that again! Now get back to work!"
"Yes, sir!" Seeing that William had no intention of punishing her, Jane ran out of the room in a hurry.
The office door closed gently. William stopped what he was doing and yed with his pen.
So that was where she wasst night! She wasn''t out with Victor or some other guy. She was with
Jane.
As he thought of this, a smile of relief appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Suddenly, something urred to him. He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello? Manager Zheng?"
"Oh, Mr. Lan. What can I do for you?"
"I am asking you for a help."
"Oh? Since it''s you, Mr. Lan, I''ll try my best to help you!"
"Do you have a dress in your shop, a yellow one..."
The night fell quietly. Mary didn''t feel like going downstairs, cooking, or anything, really. She justy
in bed.
William wouldn''t be back tonight. It would take some serious balls to show his face here again!
As soon as she had this thought, she heard a knock on the bedroom door. "Are you in there, Mary?"
It was William!
Was William crazy? He had to be.
''How could hee back?'' Mary thought. He was really brave, or really stupid. Wasn''t he afraid of
being skinned alive? The man was impossible!
"Come out here. I have something for you!"
"Go away. I''m trying to sleep! Let''s talk about it tomorrow!" Mary shouted.
"Sure you don''t want toe out?" continued William. "It''s very valuable. I bought it just for you."
William listened at the door, but she said nothing. A smug smile on his face, he started counting
quietly, "One! Two! Three!"
He stopped when the door was suddenly torn open. Mary was angry, and it was written all over her
face.
"What is it?" Mary asked, a cold face marring her lovely features.
"Here you go! Change into it and let me have a look."
"What?" Mary asked with a frown. "You''ll know when you put it on."
Mary took the bag and looked very unfriendly. "This better not be a trick, or I won''t let you off the
hook!"
Hearing that, William shrugged his shoulders. Mary closed the door, but then he heard nothing else.
The silence was deafening.
"What do you think? Are you done?" After waiting for a long time, William asked, "Does it fit okay?"
She opened the door once more, and walked out in the new dress William had bought her.
It was red, and entuated her beautiful figure.
"Okay, what made you go out and buy me a dress?"
"I ruined yoursst night. This is a new one. Do you like it? Is it nice? I can get a different one if you
want." William rubbed his nose.
"It''s okay." This dress must be very expensive. She hadn''t taken off the tag yet. She could make a
tidy sum if she sold it.
William looked her up and down. "Wait a minute, " William suddenly said.
"What''s wrong?" Mary asked in confusion.
"Well." William leaned forward, raised his right hand to loosen her ponytail. His movements were
natural. Her beautiful ck hair spilled down her shoulders.
William raised his eyebrows with satisfaction. "There. You don''t look ugly in this way!"
Mary was kind of confused at what he was doing, but thatst sentence angered her.
"I won''t tarnish your noble eyes!" Then she turned and was about to walk into the room.
"Wait, this..." Before he could finish talking, he saw Mary falling towards him.
Mary''s eyes widened in fear, and she started iling her arms, trying to keep her bnce. "Ahh!"
Mary screamed.
