Chapter 615


    “That wasn’t a request. Be good and sign the document. I’ll earn more money for you so that when


    you’re married, you don’t have to worry about suffering while living with your inws with a lucrative


    dowry.” Mark guffawed after saying those words.


    In reality, I wanted to tell him that I wasn’t short of money. However, I had no choice but to sign the


    document since he would not allow me to leave if I refused. In fact, I had a few simr documents like


    the one I was about to sign with me. The most important one I had was the share transfer agreement


    under Christopher’s name.


    Not only that, I was in control of all the properties that belonged to Christopher. If that news somehow


    got exposed to the public, I believed the women in Avenport would most definitely be envious of me


    and curse me for being so lucky behind my back.


    When Christopher had told me to sign the document back then, I was unwilling to do it no matter what.


    In the end, he thought of a n by bringing me to drink tons of beers and having a crazy moment at


    home.


    In a word, we embraced each other passionately as soon as we entered the house. When Iy on the


    bed because of exhaustion, the sly Christopher seized the opportunity to coax me into signing the


    document. As I woke up the next day and remembered what happened the other night, Christopher told


    me that he was my kept man from that day onward and wanted me to treat him better. He even had a


    cunning smile on his face as he uttered those words.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    That b*stard! I cursed inwardly as those thoughts came back to me.


    “You’re thinking about Christopher again, aren’t you? My baby daughter has grown up indeed.” Mark


    blinked his eyes at me yfully as he spoke.


    “I’m not.” I refused to admit it. Shortly afterward, I questioned him with a stern expression, “Are you


    going to let go of what Mr. Garfield is dealing with right now, Dad?”


    Once I asked that question, I felt chills running down my spine. Mark was staring at me intently before


    replying with a question of his own, “Did Christopher ask you to persuade me on this matter?”


    “No, Chris didn’t even mention it.” It was true that Christopher didn’t tell me about that matter.


    Nheless, I couldn’t pretend that I knew nothing about it since the issue was right in front of me.


    “I’ve witnessed what happened at the border with my own eyes, Dad,” I said solemnly. “That is why I


    understand what Mr. Garfield is in charge of better right now. I’m genuinely worried about you. Can’t


    you give up on such a business since you’re already so wealthy?”


    It took me quite some time to decide whether to tell Mark about those things. Such a detrimental


    business would not only harm others, but the perpetrator would not have any benefits as well.


    Whenever I thought about the number of people who would suffer because of that, I felt a sense of


    sorrow in my heart.


    “There are some things that a young woman like you doesn’t understand. So stop asking such


    questions.” Without answering my question, Mark went on with a displeased tone, “A woman like you


    should focus on shopping and entertainment, not that kind of stuff.”


    “I’m already in my twenties, Dad. Didn’t you say it yourself earlier?” I didn’t want to give up on pursuing


    that topic since I had heard everything about the conversation between Mark and Christopher the other


    day. What should I do if it reallyes to that?


    “I need to prepare for a meetingter. There’s an antique auction taking ce tonight. If you feel bored,


    you can go there and have a look. I’ll have my men prepare number tags for you. Feel free to buy


    anything you fancy.” Mark stood up with the document in his hand and urged me to leave.


    “Dad!” I shouted, not inclined to give up so soon.


    “Behave yourself.” It was apparent that Mark was unwilling to talk about the issue at the border with me


    any longer as he raised his voice all of a sudden.


    Reality hit me hard at that point as I realized that changing a matter was impossible using my words


    alone.


    I heaved a sigh, took the document, and left Goldstein Corporation. While walking by the roadside, I


    noticed Christopher’s familiar figure and swiftly followed behind him. The second I was about to call out


    his name, I saw a prettydy beside him. It looked to me that they were having a great time together.


    That charismatic-lookingdy was wearing a blue T-shirt and a pair of cropped trousers, her hair tied


    into a bun. The way she walked was full of vigor as well. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and I saw


    them hugging each other.


    I was very close to crying out in bewilderment when I saw their intimate action. Fortunately, I managed


    to cover my mouth in the nick of time.
