Chapter 304
"... Fallen?" Wendy was stunned.
"Yes, it's already bankrupt a long time ago!" Johnny continued to sigh.
"How did that happen? When..." Wendy was even more stunned.
"Four years ago!"
Wendy didn't expect such a misfortune. She couldn't digest it for a while and didn't understand it. "Even if it's bankrupt, Yolanda wouldn't have to work as a waitress..."
"I also know what happened to your grandmother that year!" Johnny suddenly said.
"..." Wendy frowned. She did not expect Johnny to suddenly mention this matter.
"It's because of Yolanda that your grandmother suddenly passed away." Johnny paused and continued, "She became like this now is actually because of Charlie."
"...Charlie?" Wendy was shocked.
"Well, isn't he doing this for you?" Johnny nodded. "Your grandmother died because of Yolanda that year. How could he let her go so easily? Four years ago he sat in the same seat you're sitting in and said that he would let Yolanda pay the price for your grandmother's death! Now Yolanda is no longer a rich young lady. She can only fall to a waitress in the restaurants in Ice City and serve a plate to others!"
Wendy clenched her fists in disbelief.
No wonder Yolanda would say that. It's all because of Charlie!
It was just that the two of them had broken up that year. She knew that Yolanda had something to do with her grandmother's death but couldn't do anything to Yolanda. At that time, Charlie didn't seem to show anything, she didn't expect him to do such a thing in private...
Wendy licked her lips and said, "So the bankruptcy of Lim's Group... wouldn't have anything to do with him too, would it?"
"Even if he didn't do it by himself, it still has something to do with him!" Johnny said with a wry smile, "He told me that Helen often gambled in Macao, and also collected a lot of evidence. I later found out that she actually moved the company's funds behind my back to fill her gambling debts! The matter was known by other shareholders and withdrew their shares one after another. Lim's Group was left with nothing but an empty shell, and I could only announce bankruptcy!"
"But it's not anyone else's fault. It's all because of Helen. It's my fault for not knowing who the woman sleeping next to me really is. I was tricked by her and didn't see it sooner! I proposed a divorce with her, but she refused to apply for it until now! And now the only thing I have left is this villa and my pension!"
In silence, Johnny sighed and said, "As for Yolanda, it is her own fault!" Wendy could not calm her emotions for a long time.
In another villa.
Charlie leaned over in front of the washstand and turned off the tap. As he was drying his hands with a towel, he happened to touch a shaver placed on the table.
He paused for a moment and then held the shaver in his hand.
He remembered that Wendy secretly took it that morning, and the reason was that her ex-boyfriend had one just like it. When he went out of the apartment building that night, he almost threw the
shaver into the trash can angrily, but he didn't do it in the end.
He had used this shaver for a long time, but he couldn't remember when he bought it, or who gave it to him.
Before that, Aunt Lee had reminded him before if he should change a new one, but he refused without thinking. He felt it very important to him in his heart, so he didn't throw it away even though he was jealous at that time.
Feeling a little annoyed, Charlie put the shaver back to its original place.
He was going out later, so he changed into a new set of clothes and walked out of the locker room. Facing the mirror, he raised his hand and buttoned his collar.
Footsteps sounded. Aunt Lee walked in and reported to him, "Sir, Miss Gray is here!"
Just as she finished speaking, Madge's figure had already appeared behind her.
It seemed that Madge had put a lot of effort into dressing up. She was wearing a light purple dress with a thin beige windbreaker, and her two slender calves were exposed from the knee position. She sprayed perfume on her body. Although it was not very strong, it smelled refreshing and charming.
Madge lifted her long hair and was very confident in her own dress.
"Charlie!"
Charlie frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
Madge smiled with two dimples on her face and explained in a soft voice, "Our parents will have dinner tonight, I want to go with you, so I came!"
"I'm going to change clothes for the young master!" Aunt Lee said at the side.
Charlie answered and continued to fasten his cuffs and wrists with his head down. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Madge always had a bright smile on her face. After Charlie finished buttoning, she took up the suit jacket at the end of the bed, took off the hanger, and walked to him. "Let me help you!"
"No, I can do it myself." Charlie coldly refused.
"It doesn't matter!" Madge's voice was soft, like a gentle wife, "I'll get familiar with these things sooner or later. I'll wait for our wedding. Every day when you go out, I'll help you wear them. Now it's better to practice in advance!" Charlie raised his hand and stopped her in the end. "We'll talk about it then."
Madge's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
Because Charlie didn't need her, she could only stand by the side, watching him put on the suit jacket, and when he stretched his arms, his muscles were lifted one by one. He was particularly full of masculine strength, and his broad shoulders and back made people want to embrace him.
Madge smiled and said, "Charlie, it's almost time. Shall we go now?"
"Mm." Charlie's lips twitched.
After tidying up for a moment in front of the mirror, Charlie turned around and walked out.
Madge, who was left behind, quickened her pace, "Charlie!"
Charlie stopped and turned around with a puzzled expression. When she reached out her hand, he frowned.
Madge gently held his arms, and the strong touch made her heart beat faster. The two of them happened to have the best height for kissing. As long as she put her foot slightly on his, she would be able to touch his thin lips.
In fact, she did it.
Charlie looked at her action in silence. At the moment when her delicate and charming red lips were about to touch his, he suddenly turned his face away.
Madge's hopes were dashed, she didn't even touch the corner of his mouth. She couldn't help complaining, "Charlie, why did you avoid me? Don't forget, I am your fiancee. The intimacy is very normal!"
"I've had a cold for a couple of days," Charlie said in a low voice.
Madge wanted to go forward again. "It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid..."
"Let's go. It's not good to be late to eat with the elders." Charlie interrupted her and took the lead in walking out with his long legs.
It's like this again!
Looking at his tall back, Madge was very unhappy.
Almost every time she wanted to do something intimate with him, he would be indifferent like this. How could she be happy? But when she thought of something, she quickly smiled brightly.
