Chapter 111 I Found a Jade Pendant at Home
disturb their Chapter 111 I Found a Jade Pendant at Home In the ward of Banyan Cityâs downtown hospital Sherry lay quietly on the bed, looking as if she was simply sleeping.
Alexander sat by the bed and looked at her without saying a word.
Mary pushed the door open and walked in
It was already past eleven oâclock in the evening.
Just now, James called her to go home, but she had no intention of going back.
She didnât want to go home, nor did she want to sleep. She wanted to stay here like Alexander.
What if, what if Sherry woke up in the next second?
âAunt.â
âDo you think Iâm a bastard?â Alexander asked with his back to her.
âWhen you sent me a message tonight, I should have gone to look for you.â The man stared at Sherry
âIf I went to look for you guys⦠perhaps everything would be different.â Mary pursed her lips. âI am also responsible for this matterâ¦â She should not have listened to the director and left.
Even if Elenaâs target was her, it was better for Elenaâs people to take her than to take Sherry! After all, she still knew the martial arts that Justin had taught her to defend herself.
Sherry had nothing.
She was just a simple woman.
âI am the one with the greatest responsibility.â Alexander took a deep breath and reached out to hold Sherryâs cold hand. âI should not lose my temper with her and draw a clear line with her.â
âShe likes me. I always knew that.â
âBut I only treat her as a friend. For some reason, I wonât fall in love with any woman.â âIâve been around a lot of women, but I did all that to get her to give up.â The manâs voice was low and hoarse. âTell me, she is obviously so beautiful and smart, and she is famous in the entertainment circle and has a bright future.
She doesnât have to waste her time on a playboy like me.â Mary stood in place and listened to his words.
She grabbed her sleeves fiercely. âSo what did you do todayâ¦â
âIt will be her birthday in a few days She asked me if I could accompany her back to her hometown to see her relatives on her birthday.â Alexander sighed.
She said that her family has been wanting to see me for a long time.â
know, she still doesnât give up on me.â
He closed his eyes, and the image of Sherry looking at him in despair in the afternoon came to his mind.
âI told her that Iâve always been using her.â
âI founded the Thunder Entertainment Company not to prove my ability in front of my family, but to make money to pick up girls.â
âShe is just a tool for me to make money. I have been flirting with her for so many years, but in fact, I just wanted her to pay for me and made more money for me.â
âI also saidâ¦â âI also said that I have already made enough money, and I would propose to the woman I liked in a few days.â
âOf course, I would be happy if she wants to stay and continue to make money for me. If she is not willing, then pay the penalty fee and scram. Anyway, when she signed with me, she was just a newcomer with a monthly salary of two thousand dollars. The penalty fee was only about one hundred thousand dollars.â
Alexander smiled bitterly. The scene of Sherry crying in front of him clearly emerged before his eyes.
Then, he smiled.
âI see.â
She stood in front of him and smiled beautifully. âThen I still have to thank you for your many years of cultivation. After all, without you, I wouldnât be who I am now.â âBack then, when I was the only signed artist in Thunder Entertainment, I worked hard for you. I didnât hesitate to use all kinds of rumors to hype up my reputation, just so that you would no longer become the useless person my parents talked about.â
âAlthough you lied to me, I did my promise to you.â
âI will transfer the money to your account.â
âThank you, Mr. Notman, for letting me go on a solo trip at the peak of my career. I will remember this kindness.â
âWhen you get married, I will give you a big gift.â Finally, she gritted her teeth and looked at him.
âAlexander, I wish you eternal happiness.â
Alexander held Sherryâs hand
He thought that everything he did was for her sake.
Unexpectedly, it was him who pushed her into another abyss.
She was a girl with strong self-esteem. What happened tonight, no matter what, would cast a shadow on her heart in the future.
He even felt that after tonightâs matter, she would no longer accept any man.
Since everything about her started because of him, he would be responsible for her. He would give the happiness that she could not get. His happinessâ¦
Anyway, he had long lost his happiness.
âI have another question.â
Mary pursed her lips and sat down on the chair next to Alexander. âDo you really not
like Sherry?â
Not necessarily. When she first met Alexander, this man always had a smile in his eyes when he mentioned Sherry.
His eyes and habits could not fool people. âI donât like her.â âI have someone I like,â Alexander replied coldly. Mary bit her lip. She did not expect Alexander to reject her question so firmly. After a long time, the woman let out a deep breath and tried to slow down her tone of voice, âSince you donât like Sherry, even if you marry her, she wonât be happy.â âYou wonât be happy either.â
âWhat about you, Aunt?â Alexander sneered and looked at her with deep eyes.
âWhen you married my uncle, did you like him? Did my uncle like you?â
âIf I remember correctly that when you married my uncle, you have not officially met, and you are still sad for your ex-boyfriend.â âDo you feel unhappy now?â
His question was too sharp, and Mary did not know how to answer for a moment.
After a while, she sighed, âI respect your choice.â Everyone had their lives to go. She could not empathize with others and should not lives.
However, she could do what she could.
The woman took a deep breath and pushed the door open. In the corridor outside the door, William was on the phone. âOkay.â Seeing that she had come out, the man hung up the phone and looked up at her.
âNancy has gone abroad.â âShe has gone abroad?â
âYes, she said she was going to an exhibition abroad.â âShe walked too fast and my men failed to stop her.â William frowned. âJust now, Mathias found out that she was already at the airport when I went to the Cutts family house to find Elena.â âShe must have heard the news and left specially.â He sighed. âBut even if she stays in the country, we wonât get much out of it.â He looked down at Mary.
âShe is a cautious person. After she said those words to you at the entrance of the hotel, she would never intervene in this matter. Even if we find out the truth, it should all be Elenaâs responsibility.â âShe is just an instigator.â
Mary bit her lips. She had actually already thought of the result. From Elenaâs attitude of currying favor with Nancy tonight, she would indeed take the initiative to plan this kind of thing to please Nancy. Just as she was thinking about this, her phone rang. It was a call from Gary. âMary.â âCome back. Dad has something to talk to you about,â Gary pleaded. Mary looked up at the time. It had been two hours since Elena had been arrested. Gary must have tried many ways to get Elena out at this time, so he thought of her. âMr. Cutts, just say what you want,â the woman said with a faint smile. She denied that he was her âdadâ.
Gary was silent for a while. After a while, he said coldly, âI found a jade pendant at home.â âI think you dropped it when you were at home. Elena said that it was something your mother left for you. Do you still want it?â
