The Ashley of three years ago… seemed to have returned, seemed to be… not the same person as before.

No longer the beauty of the past, no longer the halo of a rich young lady… this woman, today, made him afraid, that crazy and desperate beauty…


'Really… will give everything away?" He slowly calmed down, moved his lips, and asked.

She was going crazy, Ashley herself knew.

But the girl of this moment, in Milan's eyes, was extremely beautiful, even more beautiful than Ashley of three years ago…


This, she didn't know.

'Tell me."


She wasn't afraid of losing anything, because she had nothing left to lose.

'I want…" Milan was a little confused, and suddenly, his voice stopped.

He changed his expression, coldly looking at the woman: 'What can you give me?"

 He was always rational, always calm, always like this, how could he let a woman bother him? 

Grandfather's words, still rang in his ears, Grandfather said, when a woman appeared, and she could affect his mood and decisions, then, don't hesitate, deal with it yourself. 

Ashley was annoyed... Lorne, I'm still so useless. 

Why? 

"Why? Mr. Milan, I'm no longer useful to you. Please be generous, let me go, just like letting an animal go, so simple, so easy, why can't you let me go?" 

She was annoyed, "If you hate me, I've been in prison for three years, I've lost everything, what's the use of keeping me?" 

 Milan chuckled: "Ashley, is three years too much? Three years, and a human life, which is cheaper? Of course, I have to keep you, keep you, slowly torture you, until you pay off the debt for that human life.

Even if I am willing to let you go, have you ever thought about it, butler Smith is so old, but only has one relative, Gina.

If I let you go easily, how can I face his family?"

Ashley did not say anything, and lowered her head, Milan frowned, the desperate beauty on her just now, glorious for a moment, disappeared without a trace, returning to the fearful and timid woman that made him feel uncomfortable.

"Mr. Milan." Just as Milan reached out to her, Ashley suddenly raised her head: "Mr. Milan, you once said, as long as you consider it within a month, I will put that 17 billion into the card, then you will no longer care whether I go or stay."

'Mr. Milan, you are the ruler of the Elise family in S city, a word is worth a thousand, you won't go back on your word, right?"

No matter what, she had to try it once... Otherwise, she would owe Lorne until her next life.

That girl said she had never been to A city, she wanted to open a motel on the coast of A city... Then, she closed her eyes tightly, never to open them again.

Ashley was waiting for Milan's answer, waiting for Milan to make a decision.

But at this moment, Milan was filled with anger... this woman's determination to leave him was so strong.

An unknown fire burned in his heart, and his eyes were a little cold: "Of course. But I have to remind you, that one-month deadline, won't be long before it ends."

He had already arranged everything at Meadow's house, he didn't believe this woman could earn 17 billion anywhere else.

 Don't say 17 billion, even if it's 170 billion, from today onwards, she won't have a single part left.

Hearing this, Ashley breathed a sigh of relief, but all of her actions, even the smallest ones, were taken into the man's eyes.

Milan's long, narrow phoenix eyes revealed a hint of sarcasm...

He lifted his long legs, walked around, then sat down on the sofa, and picked up the economic newspaper on the table, when he sat down, he coldly said a sentence to chase the customer away: "Go away."

Ashley didn't want to stay here anymore.

Getting off the sofa, she walked out of the elevator, unexpectedly, behind her was a pair of deep black eyes, watching her enter the elevator.

At the moment the elevator door closed, Ashley glanced at Milan who was sitting in the living room, the man didn't bother to raise his head, just focused on the newspaper.

She lowered her eyes.

 ---

Dermot Group, Lorne glanced at the man sitting on the sofa in his office: "You seem to be very happy these days." 

"Of course, because I met a very interesting hunting animal." 

"Kane." Lorne heard the man sitting on the sofa say, immediately put down the documents in his hand, looked at the other person, and cautiously said: "Don't continue. This is not interesting at all." 

"No no no, Lorne, you don't know that hunting is an extremely elegant form of exercise." 

"If hunting is so interesting, then in recent years, why have you changed from one hunting animal to another?" 

Kane raised his index finger and waved it: "No no no, the fun of hunting lies in the process of being hunted by the animal you have your eyes on little by little. What I like is the process. The process, do you understand? My Lorne." 

 Lorne frowned reflexively, 'I don't have the kind of cruel interest like you."

'That's right, that's right, you only have Anna in your heart, how could…" Kane suddenly said. 'I'm sorry, Lorne."

The coldness in Lorne's eyes gradually disappeared.

'From now on, don't mention her again." 

Lorne said indifferently. 

"Lorne, this can't be done, really can't be done, you're living in the past, like this, and you won't be able to get out." 

"I don't want to get out." Lorne said coldly, "Okay, go hunt your prey." 

It was obvious that Lorne originally didn't want to continue talking about that topic with Kane. 

"Haha," Kane laughed, looked out the window, then raised his hand to look at his watch: "Um. It's still early, she hasn't gone to work yet." Lorne seemed to have grasped the point: "Haven't gone to work yet... what do you mean?" He also looked at his watch - 15:37. 

At this hour, it was already working hours, even if he got off work early, it couldn't be "She hasn't gone to work yet." 

"Oh, that interesting hunting beast, she works at Paradise Club."  Then it's evening.

A thought flashed through Lorne's mind, but before he could be sure, it disappeared.

Shaking his head… Maybe he was a little tired lately.

Lorne frowned, 'That's right, the women who work at Paradise Club, I don't find them interesting at all."

'No no no, she's very interesting, the most interesting woman I've ever met, and not one of those women. Lorne, I suddenly had a good idea. I won't go to that entertainment club anymore."

'Does that mean you've given up on that predator?"

Of course not, with Kane's personality that he knew well, this guy definitely wouldn't actively give up on the predator he had his eyes on, until… the hunt was successful.

'No no no, I just feel that going to the entertainment club to find her isn't as good as the new plan I just thought of. That's right, that's right, let's do it."  His words sounded like he was answering Lorne and talking to himself.

Lorne was used to it, so he just frowned, some words wanted to come out of his mouth, but he swallowed them back because he understood Kane's past, so there were words that were very difficult to say to Kane.

"Lorne, I'll go first."
