Chapter 2 The Men She Wants to Marry
Lamborghini gallops away, splashing muddy water that soaks Nina Morrison's already wet clothes.
Nina sits on the muddy ground, tears of anger falling down her cheeks! She picks up that golden card,
tries to tear it, but it is too hard! Even this man's business card is bullying her!
The phone in the bag suddenly rings.
She puts the card into her pocket and looks at the caller ID. Damn, it is her stepmother Doris Lauren!
"Nina Morrison! Do you know what time it is? Yet you are not home to cook! Do you want to starve us?"
Before she has time to speak, Doris Lauren's voice comes out, shaking Nina's eardrum. Damn it! She
would have been home by now. Without this accident, dinner would have also been ready.
Thinking that her half-unconscious dad lying on the bed may suffer from hunger, Nina struggles to get
up from the ground and hobbles toward home.
The skirt is wet through, and her wet hair clings damply to her skin. The night wind blows, making her
feels chilling.
Pushing open the rusty door, Nina is about to take off her wet shoes when she hears Doris Lauren's
terrifying shouting from the house. "Eat, eat, and eat! You cannot earn a penny but bring us a lot of
debt. What else do you want from me? "
The stepmother is scolding her father again. Nina Morrison feels a sharp pain in the heart. She hastily
changes her wet clothes, walks into the kitchen and washes her hands and starts cooking. Her
movements are quite swift.
Two dishes and a soup are served on the table, including mixed pickle, stir-fried green vegetables, and
tomato egg soup, which is the only dish with some meat. Nina gets a bowl of rice, chopsticks some
green vegetables, scoops up a bowl of tomato and egg soup, and carries the bowls into the back room.
In the middle of the bed lays Nina Morrison's father, Barry Morrison. His dazed eyes are half-open and
half-closed, and he is in a semi-coma. He has been in such a condition since the bankrupt of the
Morrison Group. At that time, he was so anxious and furious that he had a heart attack. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Nina holds her father's head in her arms and feeds him little by little. Looking at his ascetic face, she
feels sad.
A sharp female voice comes to her ears, "Mom, how can we eat this for dinner?" It is the stepmother's
daughter Grace Lauren. Since her stepfather went bankruptcy, she seldom comes home. What brings
her back today?
"If you do not want to eat this, then find a rich husband, and then you can eat whatever you like." Doris
Lauren does not have a good attitude towards her own daughter either.
After the meal, Nina Morrison washes the dishes and goes back to her room to take a shower and to
wash the wet clothes she has changed.
"Nina! Where did you get this?" Grace holds the card excitedly and looks at her with green eyes.
"Ah?" Seeing the card in Grace's hand, Nina remembers the proud man in the Lamborghini. "I got hit
by a car today, and the card is from the owner of that car," says Nina faintly.
"Do you know whose card this is?" Nina's calm tone makes Grace feel incredible! She shouts, with her
white, red-painted fingers pointing at the name on the card, "Lucien Gray, Lucien Gray! He's the
president of Gray Group!"
The Gray Group? Lucien Gray? Nina is a little confused about Grace's anthomaniac expression.
"The Gray's Group, a leading corporation in the world, has property, entertainment, catering,
transportation, mining, oil and even military arms! Their influence is throughout Asia, Africa, and Latin
America. It is a super plutocrat in the whole world! In many countries, the election of leaders is even
dominated by the Gray's Group! Lucien Gray, president of the group, was named the number one on
the list of "men that women want to marry most" in the world by the POWER magazine! He is not only
rich, powerful, but also handsome! Legend tells that his women are countless, but he never stays with
them for more than seven days!"
Nina was a little distracted watching Grace blabbering. It sounds that Lucien Gray is so rich, but does it
have anything to do with her?
Grace looks at Nina as if she is an idiot. She cannot believe there is a woman who will not scream on
hearing Lucien Gray's name.
"Nina, do you know what this card means?" Grace asks deliberately, knowing that Nina could not have
known.
"What does that mean?" Nina yawns. She does not have a good impression of this president. He is just
a rich man who is bossy.
"It means that anyone who holds the card is free to enter the T. S private club that is under the name of
Gray's! It is said that Lucien Gray often goes to that club!" Grace Lauren is excited again! Because she
has a bold plan in her heart!
"Oh!" Nina says absent-mindedly, completely unaware of the flash in Grace's eyes. It's because there
is a big pile of laundry which is waiting for her.
