“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This car was Sean’s. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I remembered a lot of sports cars in the underground garage of Sean and Molly’s wedding room. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But he never drove them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jack said, “you’re a normal person, so you should be good at it. Help me. You can intimidate her!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t think Jack had Eq. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He asked me to help him but he said that to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I glanced at him and said, “No.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then I wanted to leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No! I can give you money! How about half a million dollars! If you help me with this, I’ll give you half a million dollars!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jack took me and said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The onlookers were stunned. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Half a million dollars?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Oh, my God. The rich are different.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When the old lady heard that Jack wanted to give me half a million dollars, she cried, “he hit my leg, but he wants to run without paying!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She let go of Jack. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now everyone knew that the old lady was blackmailing him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took out my cell phone and started recording. I said to Jack, “five hundred thousand dollars? Now hit her. You only need to pay 2 million dollars.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jack wanted to say something but I blinked at him quickly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jack was smart even though he had low Eq. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He came to realize. “I see!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then he went straight to the sports car. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stepped back and pushed the onlookers back to give Jack a way out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The old lady sat alone in front of the car. She stared at the front of the car and froze. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The sports car started. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The old lady wanted to stand up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although the sports car didn’t move, the old lady got up in fright and left quickly! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I quickly recorded the old lady’s back on my cell phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jack put the car out and got off. He looked at me admiringly. “June, I didn’t expect you to be so good!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Half a million dollars.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I spread out my hand to him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK.” Jack ran to the car with a smile and pulled out a stack of checks. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I wanted to make a joke. I didn’t expect Jack to do it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t imagine the world of the rich. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He tore off the check and wanted to give it to me. I waved, “No. If you stop pestering Daisy, I’ll thank you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, I headed for the law firm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw Arthur and Ming standing at the door looking at me in unison. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I walked up to them. Arthur clapped and laughed, “I didn’t expect you to be so bold and resourceful.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I just dealt with rogues in a rogue way. I didn’t expect to be seen by Arthur and Ming. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming said to Arthur, “June looks like a domestic cat, but she’s actually a wild cat.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, I think so.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They teased me and went upstairs. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming told me that he checked the monitoring of Sacred Heart Hospital. On the day Molly wanted to jump, I left Sherry’s room and a nurse came in. She left in less than a minute. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They had told the police about it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At present, as long as it was proved that my card was stolen and the money was not transferred by me, I was innocent. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I heard this, I suddenly thought, “did you see who woke my grandma and helped her to the roof?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“We didn’t pay attention to it.” Arthur shook his head. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Can you check it for me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at Ming with pleading eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He hesitated for a moment and agreed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I talked with Arthur and Ming for over an hour. We talked about the next court session and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming wanted to see me off. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as we got to the door of the law firm, we saw a familiar car parked there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean, the owner, stood by. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When he saw Ming and I, he quickly became unhappy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He walked quickly to us. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought he would be angry when he came, but when he was only one step away from me, he suddenly stopped. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He looked at me and seemed to say something. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After a while he said, “where are you going? I’ll drive you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought I heard it wrong. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean’s tone was calm and even mild. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Where are you going now? I’ll drive you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean repeated. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I have something to do. I’ll go first.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming interrupted me when I subconsciously wanted to reject Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He said that and left directly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He didn’t even say hello. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at his back and then at Sean. I felt betrayed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Let’s go.” Sean looked at me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t know if it was my illusion. There was something I didn’t understand in his eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
People really couldn’t resist their hearts. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at Sean. He went in the direction of the car. I followed him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His tall back blocked most of the sun. He was like a wall, a city. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Every time I thought I had escaped, I found out I was wrong. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was standing in the center of the city. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I never left for a moment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I got back to my senses, I was in his car. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean leaned over and reached for my seat belt. His face was close to me. His deep eyes had been staring at my face. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His eyes seemed to be just a puddle of water. I could see through his mind at a glance. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was not Sean I knew. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He fastened my seat belt and asked me, “where would you like to have dinner? I’ll be with you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at Sean. There was no secret in his eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As if what he said was what he thought. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t answer so Sean said, “June, I want to have dinner with you. I’ll drive you home after dinner.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I blurted out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I always remembered that I asked him to marry Molly. I couldn’t break my promise. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No reason.” Sean looked at me and continued, “what would you like for dinner?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry, but I have to go to the company. Maybe I can’t go to dinner with you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I wanted to say yes, but I lied. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK, I’ll take you to the company.” Sean didn’t say anything. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He straightened up to start the car. Soon we arrived downstairs of my company. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I got out of the car, I said to him, “I will work overtime for a long time. President Jessop, don’t wait for me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then I left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
