Chapter 73 Listen to Marissa And Stay Away From That Man
"Marissa, here it is."
Marissa was stunned for a moment. She looked at the banknotes on the table and her mind went
nk for a long time. Then, she asked, "Where did theye from?"
Her first thought was to wonder who assigned that job to Caroline.
Caroline didn''t think much about it. She briefly told Marissa what happenedst night. After
listening, Marissa frowned tightly, "It''s him?"
She looked at Caroline and continued, "Callie, didn''t I tell you not to get close to that man again?"
"But, he gives me money."
Those who didn''t know Caroline well and had no idea about the inside stories might have taken her
as a gold digger by hearing those words from her mouth.
For a moment, Marissa was speechless.
Marissa knew the situation very well. That woman in front of her brought no sense of existence. She
wasn''t attractive but she was very stubborn.
"Caroline,e over," Marissa looked at Caroline and felt that there might be something she had to
advise her. She put her arms around Caroline''s shoulders, and pulled Caroline to her side, "Listen
to me. Don''t get involved with this man in the future. Although I might not have seen much in the
world, I have seen all kinds of men in Royal Club."
"Caroline, you have to promise me that you will not see Mr. Fili that you mentioned again, even if
he gives you money."
Caroline was silent. After a while, she raised her head and told Marissa honestly, "Marissa, I can''t
do that."
Marissa grabbed Caroline''s shoulder and said, "Listen to me once."
Caroline shook her head firmly and said, "I''m sorry, Marissa. I can''t do it. I''m short of money. Mr.
Shawn said that if I can give him the 5 million dors within a month, he won''t give me hard time
anymore and I will get my choice to leave or stay."
"Marissa, he means it."
"I''ve wasted the first half of my life with him. For the second half of my life, I don''t want to have
anything to do with him anymore."
Caroline didn''t want to borate on the stories between her and Bentley since Marissa didn''t ask
either.
In the first half of her life, Bentley could be seen everywhere. She was afraid, tired, upset, and
bored. She didn''t want it for the second half of her life.
In fact, those days without Bentley weren''t as difficult as she imagined.
When she was in prison for those three years, Bentley wasn''t there and she still made it.
"Marissa, I know you are worried about me. I know that Mr. Fili is very dangerous. I know it. But
Marissa, do you still remember what I told you on the first day I joined thepany?"
"I said, as long as people are willing to buy, I am willing to sell everything I have."
A trace of sorrow shed on her face. Then, she raised her head and said resolutely, "So, no matter
what Mr. Fili wants me to do, no matter what his intention is. As long as I can offer, I will sell
everything I could. Even if he has any special needs. I am willing to sell my body and even my
remaining kidney."
She didn''t know if Marissa could understand her will.
But she always treasured the little bit of caring that she could get from Marissa and she felt sorry to
disappoint her.
Marissa''s heart sank for no reason. She recalled the first time she heard those words from Caroline
when she newly joined thepany. She only thought that Caroline was just an unattractive woman
who knew her limitations very well.
At that time, she still praised Caroline in her heart for being so sensible.
But at this moment, when she heard that sentence again, she realized that those words weren''t just
that simple. There was so much helplessness behind it.
"I need money, a lot of money. My body is the only thing I have left. Even if Mr. Fili has malicious
intentions, so what? I only have this tattered body. If he wants it, take it."
Marissa felt so sorry after hearing Caroline''s words and it hurt her even when she breathed.
"I''m useless and I''ve nothing. I''m not afraid."
After Caroline said that, she asked Marissa to transfer the money into the bank card before she left
the room.
There was only Marissa left in the office. She looked at the banknotes on her desk for a long time.
In the end, her eyes flickered slightly and she put the money into her safe. Then, she took out a
ledger and wrote down the numbers.
"Caroline, I''m sorry. That''s all I can do for you." Since Bentley instructed not to give Caroline any
more jobs, he must have made up his mind not to let her earn those 5 million dors within the
stipted time. It also meant that Bentley never nned to set Caroline free from the very
beginning.
What Marissa could do was save the sum of money that Caroline gave to her. On the day when the
one-month deadline given by Bentley expired, she would put all the money into that card, and return
the card to Caroline, if she got 5 million dors by then.
In that way, Caroline could take the card and approach Bentley confidently. That would also be the
only reason and chance for Caroline to leave.
In the restroom, Caroline locked the door behind her back. She leaned against the door of the
restroom and stared nkly at the ceiling. Marissa''s words were still echoing in her ears.
"But I have nothing left. What am I afraid of?"
Sheughed at herself. Then, she picked up her phone and clicked on the calendar. She never
knew the deadline of one month was so short. She couldn''t help but wonder where could she get
the 5 million dors.
She stopped looking at her phone and walked out of the restroom.
The restrooms on the ground floor of the Royal Club were shared by men and women. But the
privacy of each cubicle was very good.
When she was walking outside, she bumped into someone with a "bang".
"I''m sorry. I''m..."
"I find that you will be apologizing every time I see you. Do you really like to apologize or what?" A
pleasant male voice was heard. Caroline raised her head suddenly, "Oh, Mr. Tucker. I''m sorry. I was
distracted and I didn''t see you."
After she apologized, she was about to leave. A long arm was blocked at her waist. As soon as that
long arm exerted force, it pulled her back, "Hey, why do you leave as soon as you see me? Do you
hate me that much?"
Antonio stopped her. He simply put another arm of his on Caroline''s waist and held it with both of
his hands. Then, he pulled her closer to him and said, "Come on. Eat with me."
That was capricious.
"I''m sorry, Mr. Tucker. I''m at work."
"Work is so boring. Come on, I''ll take you to dinner."

"But, I..."
"Stop it. Don''t worry. I will help you to get the day offter."
While he was talking, he reached out to grab Caroline''s arm. Then, he led her to the outside.
