Chapter 20 Buried in the Grave
The material of the check was a bit hard, and it hurt when it was scratched on the face.
After standing frozen in place for a few seconds, she bent down and picked up the check calmly.
When she saw the amount above, the bitterness at the corner of his mouth instantly permeated her entire chest.
Five years for 50 million in exchange, she was quite expensive at least.
Five years ago, she really needed money.
But now, she didn’t need it anymore, after all, people couldn’t spend money after they died.
With a calm expression, Jennifer put the check back in the car.
“Mr. Murphy is quite rich, but if I take your money, I won’t be able to marry into the Marc family clearly.”
What she meant by this was that compared to the position of the young mistress of the Marc family, the 50 million was nothing.
On the contrary, accepting his money would affect her marriage.
It wasn’t until this moment that Shaun understood the reason why she didn’t want any money from him. It turned out that she planned to marry a wealthy guy.
The doubt in his heart completely dissipated, and when he looked up at her again, it was as if he was looking at a stranger.
“Jennifer, from now on, never appear in front of me.”
Jennifer smiled indifferently, “Don’t worry.”
She would never have the chance to appear in front of him because she
had no chance anymore.
The deep love for him would also be buried in the grave with the passage of time, and no one would ever know…
In front of Shaun’s private estate, after the assistant parked the car at the door, Chris quickly got out of the car.
Just as he was about to enter the villa to find Shaun, a Ferrari drove into the garden.
The man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall got out of the car.
His figure was tall and straight, and his proportions were perfect, without a single blemish.
The power emanated from all over his body, with a strong sense of oppression, made people dare not approach easily.
Even Chris, seeing Shaun like this, would feel a little scared, let alone his opponent.
He adjusted his mood and stepped up to Shaun.
“Shaun, are you back?”
He actually wanted to ask where he had gone. He obviously left the club before him but came back later than him.
Seeing Shaun’s gloomy face, he didn’t dare to ask.
Shaun didn’t respond, just walked past him and walked into the villa.
The servant who had already been waiting at the entrance saw him coming in, bent down quickly, and respectfully called ‘Mr. Murphy’.
Shaun took off his suit jacket and tie, handed them to the servant, and walked to the wine cabinet.
He took two high-end wine glasses at random, poured some wine into them, turned around, and handed them to Chris who followed.
“Anything?”
Chris seldom came to his private villa, so he came here so late, he must have something to say to him. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Chris took the wine and sized him up. Seeing that his face was not as gloomy as before, he spoke boldly.
“Shaun, has that Miss Lim offended you before?”
It was the first time Chris saw Shaun, who had always been a gentleman, pour wine over a woman’s head.
Shaun glanced at him coldly, “Don’t ask if you shouldn’t.”
Chris was not angry, but instead smiled, “Could she be the woman?”
He knew that his brother had an affair, but he had never seen her before.
If he hadn’t been too abnormal tonight, he might never have known who that woman was.
Shaun raised his deep, dark eyes, and looked at him coldly, “What are you trying to say?”
Chris wanted to test a few more words, but seeing that he was so straightforward, he stopped beating around the bush.
He put away his gentle smile, and asked solemnly, “Shaun, have you fallen in love with Miss Lim?”
Seeing Shaun bully Jennifer so much tonight, he already guessed that she was the woman who was kept by Shaun for five years.
When he first saw that Jennifer looked a bit like Ginny, he thought that
Shaun just used her as Ginny’s substitute.
But later, Shaun lost control because of Miss Lim. To be precise, he got jealous.
Everyone in this world could be jealous, but only Shaun wouldn’t, so this was not a good thing.
