Chapter 66


    Back then, Deborah’s mother, Lydia, approached Devon deliberately


    But Devon had a noble family background, so he dumped Lydia who was pregnant.


    Later, after Lydia gave birth to Deborah, she married Simon Levin, a wealthy gambler.


    Later, Simon lost all his money, started using drugs, andmitted suicide in this house in front of


    Deborah


    In this house, Deborah stayed with his body for a day and two nights and watched his body grow


    maggots.


    The police found his bodyter


    Deborah suffered from autism because of this, and she never dared to think about what had happened


    in this ce.


    Deborah’s hand on the edge of the seat trembled slightly, and she forced a smile. “Nina, you have a lot


    of nerve. Aren’t you afraid tha Ashton wille looking for me and know that you left me here?”


    Nina looked at her in surprise. “Ms. Shepherd, didn’t you hear that I answered Mr. Mullen’s call on the


    way here? It’s Mr. Mullen’s orde I wouldn’t dare to do it without his permission.”


    Deborah grasped the seat firmly, calmed down slowly, opened the door, and got out of the car.


    She also smiled. “Oh, then thank him for me.”


    When she got out of the car, Nina opened the car window and told her, “Mr. Mullen also said that you


    must live well in this house. Otherwise, he will send your mother’s body over and let her apany


    you. I believe he meant it.”


    After that, Nina drove away.


    Deborah stood outside the iron gate. The house had been empty for so long that there were vines and


    dead branches everywhere.


    Her face was a little pale. All of those old memories came flooding back, and she slowly squatted


    down.


    She received a message from Joseph: [Are youing today?]


    Deborah fahan intensa teache The pa mughan way her mand


    She was forced to think of that hop a day and Nes tights many years ago Bead Simon hadid beside

    He cell phone rang again the slowly took out the phone and say several text messages from Joseph


    Thetest one if you don’te now, you won’t need toe today |


    Thinking of Alyssa Deborah gathered herself and replied to the message meeming now |


    There was a buzzing in her head. And when Deborah looked up, Simon’s body appeared everywhere.


    She saw blood everywher


    When she got up her legs were trembling


    But she only knew that she had to see Alyssa now, So she could feel at ease


    The location here was very remote, but at least it was where she once lived, so Deborah was not so


    unfamiliar with the road


    conditions


    Walking along the deserted road until it was almost dark, she caught a taxi and went to Joseph’s vi


    Along the way, her heart was beating violently And Deborah felt that because the learned Alyssa was


    alive, Deborah also gained a


    new life


    Thinking of seeing Alyssa soon, Deborah was so nervous that her palms were wet


    Deborah looked out through the wrought iron gate when she arrived outside the vi. The front yard


    was quiet, and there was no one.


    Deborah rang the doorbell, and soon a servant came out


    Seeing Deborah standing outside, the servant seemed to know her. He opened the door politely and


    said, “Ms. Shepherd, please


    Deborah immediately followed and walked inside. Her heart was beating violently. Deborah wondered if


    Alyssa would suddenly rush out from inside and throw herself into Deborah’s arms.


    It had been a month or so since the vehicle fell off the cliff.


    But until the servant led Deborah to the living room, Deborah still didn’t see Alyssa


    Joseph calmly sat on the sofa and looked at theputer. He noticed that Deborah had arrived, and


    his expression didn’t change


    much. He didn’t mean to get up and tell Deborah where Alyssa was.


    Deborah began to feel a little disappointed. She asked anxiously, “Mr. ck, where is Alyssa?”


    Joseph responded, “You camete. She has already gone abroad with the medical team for treatment.


    The departure time had already


    been set, and they left about half an hour ago.”


    His words extinguished Deborah’s hopes. “Has gone abroad? So she’s headed to the airport now? Is it


    still time for me to go and meet


    her?”


    Joseph said quietly. “They left on a private jet. And they’re in the air now. What do you think?”


    Deborah’s face was gloomy. But she still had doubts about Joseph’s words. “You asked me toe


    and see Alyssa. Why are they suddenly in such a hurry to go abroad?”

    Joseph raised his wrist to check the time. “It’s ten past eight in the evening. Almost three hours have


    passed since I sent you messages.


    “What you said was you wereing now. I don’t think you wille after so much time has passed.”


    Deborah wanted to exin that it was inconvenient for her toe here just now. She had walked a


    long way, taken a taxi, and got


    stuck in traffic


    Then she realized that there was no point in exining this.


    She was silent for a long time before she spoke again, “Can I call her and listen to her voice?


    Joseph answered without any hesitation, “No”


    “Why?” Deborah frowned


    Joseph finally put down the documents in hand and looked at her sideways. “Ms. Shepherd, you should


    be clear that I am a businessman like to talk about deals, not charity”


    This was quite clear, and Deborah understood. I see What should I do to hear Alyssa’s voice and see


    her?”


    Joseph signaled to the s opposite. “Don’t stand. Sit down.”


    Deborah stood still without moving for a while.


    Joseph could feel her gaze on him. It was a weird feeling.


    He felt as if something heavy was pressing on him, making him a little breathless, and his irritability


    deepened.


    Deborah looked at Joseph for a long while and asked him, “Mr. ck, is my Alyssa really still alive?”


    Joseph didn’t answer. Deborah said softly. “If you want to use me to deal with Ashton, I can promise


    you. But please don’t lie to me with Alyssa, and don’t give me any hope I shouldn’t have.”


    Joseph still didn’t speak And Shawn on the side said, ‘Sir, Dr. Locke called and said that Alyssa’s


    condition on the ne has stabilized, and the hospital abroad has also been contacted. He said you


    and Mrs. Mullen don’t worry.”


    Deborah didn’t seem to hear anything. She just looked at Joseph, waiting for his answer.


    Joseph finally nodded. “I didn’t lie to you. Alyssa is still alive.”


    Deborah’splexion rxed for a moment. She felt that Joseph’s eyes were not lying.


    Her voice was sincere and excited. “Thank you.”


    Joseph said again, “Sit.”


    Deborah sat down on the sofa opposite him. Joseph cut to the chase, “Ms. Shepherd, listen to my


    conditions first.


    “Before I let you see your daughter, you need to enter the Mullen Group, go to Ashton, and get what I


    need.


    “I also want some things in Mullen Manor and Wayne’s residence. When the time is right, I will let you


    get them.”


    Deborah was sjúnned for a while, then said cautiously, “Mr. ck, I can’t get in the Mullen Group.


    Ashton attaches great importance to


    business. Even Helen has never entered the Mullen Group building.


    “As for Mullen Manor, the Mullen family don’t like me. I have only been there once after marrying


    Ashton for so many years. As for


    Wayne, I don’t even know where he lives.”


    Joseph was not surprised by her answer, and his tone was still calm. “Mrs. Mullen, I’m just negotiating


    a deal with you and giving me the conditions for you to see Alyssa.


    “Of course, you can refuse. You can get up and leave now. Let’s just pretend we never talked about it.”


    His voice was cold. Obviously, he didn’t intend to give her room to bargain.


    Deborah remembered walking in on Helen stealing documents from Ashton’s study.


    Sear


    W Deborah guessed correctly, Helen had also been instructed by Joseph.


    Deborah was a little confused, so she asked directly, ‘Did you ask me and Helen to work for you at the


    same time, Mr. ck?”


    Joseph didn’t hide it “Helen doesn’t seem smart, and she can’t get what I want I n to ask her to do


    something else. I think maybe you can not let me down.”


    Deborah asked, “If I refuse, will I still have a chance to meet Alyssa?”


    Joseph looked at Deborah with a smile. “Of course, no chance.


    Deborah didn’t hesitate and nodded. “Okay, I promise you.”


    Joseph was satisfied. He got the answer he wanted, and his sympathy for Deborah no longer existed.


    Joseph stretched out his right hand towards Deborah. “Then I wish us a happy cooperation, Mrs.


    Mullen.”


    Deborah stretched out her hand and shook his lightly.


    But at that moment, her eyes were attracted by Joseph’s left wrist.


    “Mr. ck, can I ask you how you got that scar on your wrist?”
