Chapter 809 Make a Bet


    He caught a glimpse of her and knew why she looked familiar.


    Stephan Zardi was the chairman of the Narache Chamber of Commerce and the boss of the


    Zardi Group overseas. His loving wife died of illness eight years ago.


    Be bore an uncanny resemnce to histe wife.


    When Felix knew about this, he did some research on this.


    He didn’t hold out much hope at first, but to his surprise, he found that Zardi’s wife came from


    Ambario too.


    The Zardi family had business dealings with Felix and they were on good terms before. But in


    recent years their positions had changed as the wealth had shuffled.


    Now they were neither friends nor enemies. They hadn’t turned against each other so far for old times''


    sake.


    But Felix knew that in business, sooner orter, there could only be one winner.


    So he had to get ready for the inevitable.


    Time was slipping away.


    Be clenched her fist, unable to make up her mind.


    Instead of pushing, he let her think it over. He knew that the woman in front of him was not as innocent


    as she seemed.


    She knew what she wanted and what to do to get it.


    Ten minutester, Felix looked at his watch and said, “Time is up.”


    A cold shiver ran down her spine.


    Then her eyes met his icy gaze, full of bitterness.


    His indifference and gentleness baffled her.


    Finally, she brought herself back to reality.


    Her pain vanished away and gave ce to a grim expression.


    “Fine, I''ll do it.”


    No sooner had she said it than her heart was broken.


    During this entire time, she indeed wanted to be with him for his wealth and power, but she really loved


    him.


    But the man’s self-control, reserve, and aloofness were almost inhuman.

    So she could only hide her love for him.


    She took a deep breath and continued, “But I want you to do something for me too.”


    Felix narrowed his eyes.


    Without any hesitation, he said, “Do tell.”


    “I''ll do it. I’ll do anything you want if you promise me something.”


    Felix gave her a nk stare. “What do you want?”


    “I want to be your wife.”


    The room was plunged into silence.


    There was a frigid atmosphere in the room that one could hardly breathe.


    After a while, Felix let out a sneer.


    There was a coldness in his voice. “What?! Are you insane? You think I’ll marry you for this? I could


    ask any woman to do this.”


    Be smiled faintly.


    “No, you can’t. I’m your only choice.”


    She emitted confidence, more appealing than her pathetic appearance before.


    “If you have any other choice, you don’t have to talk to me. After all, a stupid, arrogant, slutty woman


    like me will not be on your radar. So I’m your only option.”


    After a moment of silence, she went on speaking, “Let me guess, why would Mr. Zardi like me?”


    She rolled her eyes and began to speak after a while, “I see. I know I’m good-looking, but I’m not


    outstanding. At least, people like you and Mr. Zardi won’t be attracted to my pretty looks. And I only


    met him once, and I don’t think he knows much about me. So there’s no way he likes me for my inner


    beauty.”


    “If a man was attracted to a woman, not because of her look, nor her inner beauty, the only reason


    would have to be ...... because she looks like someone he once deeply loved.”


    Felix’s eyes seemed slightly dted at her words.


    Be raised her head and looked at him, “I knew it when you saved me. At that time, I supposed Mr.


    Zardi might be your friend or rival, and you saved me to win him over or get something from him.


    Now you want to hand me over him and make me your eyes and ears by his side. Right?”


    Now nobody could dispute that Be was clever.


    Felix smiled and paid no attention to what she said.


    He just said, “True. Now that you’ve known everything, you should also know that nothing will ever


    happen between us because I didn’t bring you back just to save you.”


    Be froze.


    Although her guess was right, his words still struck a chill in her heart.


    However, what kind of person was she?


    She was someone that would put her own interests before her feelings.


    She nodded, “So I said I’d do it, and I deserve what I should get.”


    Then she suddenly smiled with self-deprecating humor.


    “I know you don’t want me because of Queeny. Right?”


    Felix’s eyes were as hard as flint.


    It was as if his eyes only shone when he heard her name.


    Be looked up at Felix and said, “Let’s make a bet. You’ll know if she really cares about you when you


    marry me. If she doesn’t, why don’t you marry someone who can bring you more benefits? And I will be


    that person, and I will be the most loyal one.”


    Felix’s face darkened.


    She looked so obstinate, as if she would leave at the first sign of his rejection.


    He suddenly smiled faintly.


    It was the first time he had seen her behave like this.


    Pretty good, she looked exactly like Mr. Zardi’ste wife.


    He nodded and said lightly, “Fine, I promise.”


    He continued after a pause, “If she really doesn’t love me, I’ll marry you when it’s done. Otherwise....”
