Divorced but Delighted

In ounce, he recounted the past to her like an old friend, but she knew how difficult it was to survive.

After experiencing life and death, she also survived in numerous calamities.

It was rare for Cierra to be quiet on Patrick's shoulder for a while.

After a while, she was still unwilling to give up and forced herself to get to the bottom.

Her voice was hoarse and a little tricky for her to speak.

"Mr. Trevino, since you know it's not easy to survive, why did you do this? You've done so many bad things to me abroad. Even if you're dissatisfied with Draven, you can sit and talk well with him." There was nothing that blood brothers couldn't talk about.

Even though they had never met before, they shouldn't risk other people's lives. Why did he have to make such a fatal move?

"Miss Barton."

Hearing her words, Patrick chuckled.

He stopped in his tracks and suddenly placed Cierra down under a pine tree.

Perhaps he feared she would feel uncomfortable sitting there, so he removed his coat, put it on the ground, and moved her again.

He lowered his head and did this; his words casually came out.

"I've been through all kinds of training since I could remember. If I didn't complete it, the consequences would be listening, watching, and doing something you couldn't imagine in the room you were in today. I was born without my mother by my side.

Those older men taught me only one purpose: to survive and then become a robot for them to manage the company. On the contrary, my good brother..."

"So you did all this just to take revenge on Draven?"

It wasn't that Cierra didn't believe him; it was just that he didn't understand.

Why did he choose her?

Now that she was here, she could figure it out. There was something wrong with

Draven's brain. He even dared to go to a fire. He had proved it once with his life, so she naturally believed him.

But why did he target her three years ago?

At that time, she was hated by Draven. She was sent abroad after getting married. because of Ernest's dying wish. Draven didn't even want to see her. How innocent she was! She stared at Patrick as if she wanted to seek justice for herself.

Patrick met her gaze. Suddenly, he smiled evilly and said, "Miss Barton, do you want me to do this for revenge?"

66

what do you mean?"

Cierra was slightly angry. As she thought about how to answer, Patrick suddenly burst into laughter.

"If you want me to say that, I can give you a reason. But in fact, I'm just too bored."

He tilted his head, revealing a pure and harmless expression.

However, in Cierra's eyes, that smile was extremely frightening.

A drop of water fell from the tree and hit the back of her neck, which made her shiver.

She was stunned, and her eyes were dull.

"... It's just that you're too boring?"

"Uh-huh."

He stood up and looked down at her. "Otherwise, what kind of answer do you think I should give? Because I lack maternal love? Ha, that seems even more ridiculous.

According to Sue's character, Draven didn't have much maternal love, so how much can I get? It's better for me to enjoy myself in Washington D.C. At least I can survive on my own. Unfortunately, I've passed the game, so I don't want to continue it. I have to find some new games, right?”

Cierra could no longer hear what he was saying.

There was only one sentence left in her mind, "I'm just too bored." She kept repeating it in her mind.

So, why did she exert all her strength and almost lose her life merely because he was too bored? What a joke.

Cierra's mind was in a mess, and she felt dizzy, as if someone was holding her chin to drink some water.

It was not until a ray of light fell through the trees and cleared her vision that she came to her senses.

The sky was still dark, the air was still wet with dewdrops in the morning, and the sweetness of weeds and bushes. The chirps of birds could be heard, awakening the day.

Cierra blinked, finally seeing where she was. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

In front of her was a cliff. It was not naturally formed but a cliff that had been dug up and stopped. It was straight and dangerous.

There was a vast and calm water surface below.

The green water surrounded the mountain, passing by one peak after another as if there was no end.

A half-built high-rise building was at the foot of the mountain next to the river. It should have been abandoned for a long time. From such, Cierra could still see the weeds growing under the abandoned building from a distance, simply taller than a person.

"The Boyle family planned to make this a villa, but there was an accident, so it was postponed later."

Probably because he could tell what Cierra was thinking, the man's voice was neither too fast nor too slow as he explained the location.

Brian was optimistic about the summer vacation project, so he chose Mount Shasta, which was more than 1,000 meters above sea level. He planned to develop a real estate project here and use the lake as the theme to build a mid-sized summer vacation villa.

It had to be said that the project was exemplary.

After all, the weather today, from July to September, was too hot. The temperature was too high!

It was unbearable to hide under the air conditioner all day long. If there were a place with a natural temperature of more than 20 degrees, people would flock to it.

The uninhabited mountain at a high altitude was undoubtedly an excellent place.

However, Brian was careless. He wanted to ask for money from the Trevino family but didn't want to Draven to get involved. He tried to monopolize this project alone.

So he encouraged Aleah to ask Draven for an investment and took the money to set up the project.

Perhaps God didn't want to see him make money.

They had the money for a good project, but there was an accident during the construction, and someone died at the site. It was said that someone had fallen into the lake and drowned.

It was not easy to solve the problem of human life.

Brian was a greedy man. If he had compensated the dead people's families correctly, the project might still be successful. However, he insisted that the other party had drowned because he was slacking off outside the construction site and had nothing to do with the project. He refused to compensate.

The other party's workers naturally wouldn't accept it. They were all brothers who came out to work together, yet Brian didn't even compensate them when someone died.

In the end, it was said that there were immortals in the lake, and they didn't want anyone to destroy the environment.

It just so happened that Brian had an operation at that time and was in poor health, so he believed in these words, and the project was wholly suspended.

He had used the Trevino family's money, so he didn't feel sorry for it and didn't a lot of money.

As a result, this piece of land became like this.

A glimpse of life amidst the destruction.
