Chapter 221
The man''s gaze became deep and passionate. He grabbed her in his arms and kissed her.
Her mind was in a whirl, and by the time she realized what was happening, she was already lying in
bed.
The next morning
When Summer woke up, she was alone in the room.
Apparently, the man had gone to work. The man''s clothes and her blouse and trousers were scattered
on the floor.
Besides, there were several balls of toilet paper scattered on the floor, which had dried up.
Summer moved her sore body, and sat up from the bed. She got out of bed slowly, cleaning up the
mess o n the floor with her face blushed.
In the middle of cleaning, Solomon called and asked her toe home at noon. He told her that the
insurance policy had expired, and that the principal h e had paid in those years had been refunded,
about $ 100,000. Solomon wanted her to give it to Sherman.
Summer said yes and headed off to school, feeling a little weak. Fortunately, there were no sses in
the morning, so she could rest in the office and regain some strength.
She went straight home at lunchtime. Solomon handed her a bankbook, and told her to pay Sherman
some amount first and pay the rest of itter.
Summer agreed and took the bankbook. She went to the bank, withdrew all the money in it, and then
went t o Sherman''s house.
Sherman and Billy lived in a luxury apartment with a n open-n kitchen and bedroom. They were both
at home when she arrived, though the atmosphere was still a little uneasy.
Exining her purpose, she handed the money to Sherman.
Sherman refused, but Summer insisted. "Since I borrowed money from you, I should pay you back. If
you still refuse, I will never ask from you again when I need money.”
Having been friends for years, Sherman knew what Summer was like, so she had no choice but to
ept the money.
"I cannot pay you back the rest all at once, so I will pay you back slowly.” Summer smiled.
"I am in no hurry. You can pay me back any time.
Don’t worry. You can even pay me back twenty yearster, just remember to include the interest," said
Sherman jokingly.
"Of course there''s no problem. How do you rate interest?"
Summer, of course, knew Sherman was joking, so she yed along.
After a moment’s thought, Sherman smiled and said, " I want you to be there when I have a drink."
Hearing this, Summer’s eyebrows twitched a little, and she waved her hand and said, “I am never
going to drink with you again!"
"Why?” Sherman asked disapprovingly.
"You are unreliable. Thest time I had a drink with you, I was so drunk I could not even get up, and
you were nowhere to be seen.”
A bar was not a safe ce for women, and a woman was lying there drunk. Who knows what could
have happened?
With a nervous cough, Sherman knew she was in the wrong. "But didn''t you make it home safely? Who
went to pick you up? Mark?”
"No, a friend of mine from high school took me back to his house."
If Dean had not been there that night, something bad might have happened. She would never do such
a thing again.
Sherman, however, focused on a different point. "Is that friend a man or a woman?"
Summer gave her a confused look and answered honestly, "A man. Why?”
"Then nothing happened between you two?"
Summer simply ignored her question and asked, "So where were you that night?”
"I was drunk and took a taxi home, but I threw up in the taxi and gave the driver $300 to clean it."
Sherman shrugged and said, "Don’t you think it is ridiculous? Why didn''t I get the chance to meet some
friends from high school like you did, or even friends from kindergarten? We can catch up, and maybe
something exciting will happen. A man and a woman i n the same room. Anything could happen."
Billy, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa reading the newspaper, paused reading the newspaper
and intentionally pretended to cough.
Sherman didn''t seem to hear him. She shot a cold look at him and he kept quiet at once.
Seeing this, Summer patted Sherman on the shoulder and said, "I have ss this afternoon, so I have
to go now. See youter."
"I will give you a ride!" Sherman immediately stood up.
"It is okay. I can just take the bus from downstairs. Bye."
As soon as Summer left, Mark stepped in. Apany document was left there, and he came to pick it
up.
He walked through the hallway and saw Sherman sitting on the bed with a stack of money in front of

her.
His handsome brows furrowed slowly. He moved his thin lips and asked, "Are you nning on getting a
divorce and dividing up your assets?"
Billy was very sensitive about the word ‘divorce’ right now. He would get angry with anyone who
mentioned this word in front of him!
"You just came in, can''t you just say something nice? Anything nice."
"No..." Mark responded naturally. The look on his pretty face did not change at all. "Go get the
document," he ordered, kicking Billy with his long legs.
Billy just sat there and refused to move. "Say something nice and I''ll go get it."
"Like what?" Mark raised an eyebrow, squinting at Billy with a cold look.
"For example, you may wish us a happy marriage forever, or having a happy and harmonious family, or
having a child soon, and growing old together..."
Billy was worried that Sherman might make a sudden decision. Sherman had been giving him the cold
shoulder all this time. He could never guess what was going on in her mind.
He was afraid she would want a divorce on impulse. Therefore, he was careful with his words and
manners.
But the first thing Mark said was getting a divorce and dividing up their assets. Did he think his life was
too long?
Mark just gave him a cold snort, looked down at his wrist and narrowed his eyes. "I am in a hurry. One,
two n
Before he counted to three, Billy got up and rummaged in the cab next to him, but his chest was
filled with anger.
Was it so hard for Mr. Valentine to say something nice tofort him?
He snorted and asked intentionally, "Mr. Valentine, do you know who sent that stack of money on the
bed?"
Mark knew he had something to say. "Does it have anything to do with me?" he asked, looking askance
at Billy.
