Chapter 40 Marlon, It was Time to End our Relationship
"What did you say!"
I looked angrily at Marlon.
Marlon looked at me mockingly,
"Don't you just like money? I'll pay double what Kieran pays!"
I was so angry that I violently splashed the cup of water on Marlon's face,
"Marlon, what do you take me for?"
I had thought that Marlon could never hurt me again because he had been cruel enough to me.
I thought that I would never again be angry and sad because, long ago, my heart was so perforated that it would never be intact again.
But at this moment, I was so angry that I wanted to pull out all the feelings in the past four years, throw them all into the fire, and burn them up.
Marlon wiped the water off his face and looked at me with contempt in his dark eyes,
"Rachael, aren't you just a woman who loves money like a bitch?"
"A woman who loves money like a bitch!"
I repeated what Marlon had said word by word and looked at the man I had spent the best part of my youth entangling for four years. I could finally smile because, at this moment, he had used up all my strength.
"Mr. Redford, it's time to end our relationship. From now on, I will never pester you for half a minute. Next week, I will definitely go to your engagement ceremony with Alicia to bless you!" "Say that again!"
Marlon got up expansively and looked at me angrily.
I smiled,
"Nothing to say, Mr. Redford, goodbye!"
I got up and left the box.
"Rachael!"
Marlon shouted at me angrily, and I just laughed as I closed the door and left.
I was so tried and painful that I didn't want any of it. It was time to end everything.
The moment I walked out of the restaurant, cracks of sunlight fell on me with a hint of warmth.
My phone was ringing at this very moment and it was Shania. I didn't want to answer it, but I did it anyway.
"Rachael, the time we agreed upon has come. I'm warning you, hurry up and delete the recording. Besides, bring Davidson back to me!"
As soon as I picked up, Shania's shrill voice came through.
I looked at the dazzling sun and smiled,
"Okay, I'll delete the recording!"
"Don't play tricks. If I know you're playing tricks, I will kill you!"
Shania threatened.
The grin on my face intensified,
"I will delete the recording. To believe it or not is your business. Besides, from now on, all of you don't even think about coveting Davidson. I won't let you guys appear in front of Davidson again!" With that, I hung up the phone straight away.
The reason why I had been saving the recording, besides wanting to use it to threaten them and bail out Davidson, my biggest selfish intention was to let Marlon hear it so that he would know the true nature of Alicia and thus stopped misunderstanding me.
But now it seemed that there was no need!
I clicked on the recordings and deleted them all completely, and the moment I deleted them, I was just a little sad, but, just a little sad.
"Rachael, you need to start over and be good!"
I gave myself a big smile.
Shania kept calling me and I hung up. I bought a loaf of bread on the road side and ate it and then went back to the office. I came back early and I was the only one in the office, so I took a nap since it was quiet.
"Rachael!"
I was woken up by an angry voice, and as soon as I looked up, I saw Everly glaring at me with a grimace as if she had lost all her initial cool elegance since meeting me.
"Ms. Everly!"
I rubbed my eyes and got up.
Everly slapped on the table.
"You still have the mood to sleep. Rachael, what else can you do but keep discrediting our Rich department and making people laugh at you?"
I was confused by Everly's scolding.
"Go downstairs and see for yourself what it's come to. I warn you, if you don't stop this, you are toasted!"
Everly said sternly, then loudly rebuked the colleagues around us who were watching the good show.
"What are you looking at? Are you not embarrassed enough for RICH? All of you get to work!" People around me rushed back to work, only giving me the occasional gloating look.
"Hurry up!"
Everly snapped again, and I hurried down in a daze but when I just stepped out of the building, I heard Marvin Cornell cursing loudly and angrily, and I instantly knew what was going on.
At the gate, Marvin and Shania were yelling at the security guard with a dozen aggressive men. As soon as I came out, Marvin instantly yelled,
"You beast, how dare you to kidnap your brother while I'm away for a few days and not send your brother back?"
"Rachael, Davidson is your father's deeply loved son. You quickly send Davidson back to us. Whatever you want, we can agree but you must not hurt Davidson!"
Shania cried out and prayed to me.
I looked at Shania and Marvin, just feeling ridiculous. It was really ridiculous. Of course, I really admired Shania's acting skills, which ordinary people couldn't do, and Marvin, obviously never really cared about Davidson's death, but now he actually pretended that he couldn't live without Davidson.
It was really ridiculous.
"Rachael is powerful enough. She tries to hook up with Mr. Charles by all means, making him make an exception to buy her, and now she was actually kidnapping her own brother!"
"Yes, she is the kind of woman with such sinister intentions that even a novel couldn't make up!"
The employees who had been drawn over because of the argument had already filled the open space outside, and I, like a filthy thing that the world had spat on, was being pointed at and scolded by everyone. I just smiled and slowly walked towards Marvin and the others, stopping in front of the iron gate,
"Marvin, Shania, no matter what you want to do, you will never see Davidson in your lifetime. I will never give you the chance to hurt Davidson again, absolutely not!"
God knew how thankful I was for Kieran at this moment. I knew that if Davidson was at home, following me, it would be too easy for Marvin or Shania to find him. But now, they couldn't find Davidson anymore.
"You beast, I will beat you to death!"
Marvin drew a thick wooden stick held by the man beside him directly and viciously smashed it towards me. I panicked and dodged, but the stick still flew head-on.
I sighed a little and I guessed that my forehead was going to get another big bag, but a hand suddenly appeared in front of me, as well as a tall figure enveloping me. I looked up and saw the bodyguard beside Kieran. Owen intercepted the wooden stick with one hand. His face was expressionless, but the wooden stick in his hand was broken silently into two.
"Mr. Charles!"
"Mr. Charles!"
Instantly, the people who had been watching the good show scrambled to leave a very wide path and bowed neatly at ninety degrees.
With long and slender legs, Kieran slowly walked over, and Owen automatically retreated behind Kieran.
"Mr. Charles!"
I looked at Kieran in panic. Honestly, Kieran had helped me a lot and I was constantly getting him in trouble, and I wondered if he would be mad the next moment.
Actually, it didn't matter how Kieran treated me, but I was afraid he would vent his anger to Davidson!
Kieran walked towards me in a strange smile. Suddenly, he stretched his hand and took me into his arms.
