Staring at her, Tassach said, âCan you treat me the way as you used to? You were not so elegant and luxury as now, but you were purer and kinder, and not so cold as now.â
He thought he could control the old Ophelia. The Ophelia now had shallower smile. She became more polite and colder. Sometimes he even wanted to tear apart her fake mask to see if she was the person she used to be.
How he wished she could become the old her, who had bright smile, like a sunshine angel.
Ophelia hesitated a second and said, âMr. Conduibh, time can change people. The old Ophelia has died since the day when she was trapped to be in debt. The Ophelia who is standing in front of you is a material girl, who married the heir to the Chambers Group for money.â
A deep grief emerged in his eyes. He suddenly kissed her on the neck as if being crazy. She had to pushed him away with all her strength and slapped him on the face so hard that he turned his head.
âTassach, enough is enough.â She looked at him coldly and continued, âI donât know whatâs wrong with you. I will forget all you did just now, but if you dare do this to me again, Iâll break with you.â
He kept looking at her, which made her a little scared.
âSince you said you love money, Iâm as rich as Zachariah, I can give the money as much as you want. Since you can sell yourself to him, why donât you sell to me?â he said in a serious tone.
She said, âMr. Conduibh, enough of it. Itâs work time.â
âOphelia, you know I wonât kid you. If Zachariah can buy you, why canât I? Iâll give you all I have as long as you ask.â He stared at her.
She looked at him with sadness in her eyes, saying, âTassach, I thought you are my friend. Never have I expected to hear you say this to me.â
With bloody eyes, he said calmly and slowly, âI didnât mean to hurt you. But if I can get you in this way, I will do it.â
Her heart was painfully pierced. She had never thought that Tassach would be so judgmental to her.
She had a mixed feeling inside, but had to fake a smile, âYouâre so generous, Mr. Conduibh. But is it worthwhile to run out of all your money for me?â
Without any hesitation, he said, âOf course. You deserve it.â
She sneered, âI didnât know I deserve so much money.â
He took a check out of his pocket and gave it to her. âThis is a blank check and you can fill in the amount as much as you like.â
âZachariah will give me ten percent of the shared of the Chambers Group to me if I divorce him. Do you think you can give me more than that?â
A hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
She noticed that and smiled, âWerenât you saying you would give me all of your money? Do you change your mind?â
âOf course not. The question is all of my money are not as much as ten percent of the shared of the Chambers Group. But if you give me two more years, I will expand my company.â
He made a promise.
âThen talk about the money with me until you earn enough. I donât like empty promise. Without the support of your family, you are not so competent as Zachariah. Do you really think I will give up him to choose you?â
He stared at her and said in a low voice, âOphelia, youâve changed a lot.â
She laughed her head off, then she said in a seemingly casual way, âMr. Conduibh, I didnât expect you to say such stupid things. Time flies. Not only have I changed, youâve changed too. Oh no, I should say everyone is changing. But I accept myself for who I am.â
Holding her chin, he approached her. âAre you serious? Will you really marry me as long as I can give you the money worthy of ten percent of shares of the Chambers Group?â
She struggled out of him and said, âMr.Conduibh, please show some respect if you think me as your friend, and then we can get along. Otherwise, maybe Iâll disappear for ten years.â
He released her chin and stared at her painfully.
âDo you hate me so much?â
Shaking her head, she said, âNo, I donât want you to treat me like this because I think you as one of my friends.â
He shook his head and forced a smile, âIf I donât do it, I wonât have any chance of getting you.â
âI promise you that Iâll give you a chance if I divorce Zachariah. But itâs definitely not now. Youâre a gentleman, so donât put yourself into such a miserable state because of me. Weâll be together if there is chemistry between us, but if there isnât, I also hope you donât force me.â said she.
âReally?â his eyes arose a trace of hope.
