Was it because she wanted to avoid losing face, or...

"Young master, let go of me, our decisions are the same, so why do you have to ask what I mean?"


What did she mean?

She didn't want to see him anymore anyway, and he also felt there was no need to be entangled with her anymore.

So, if he was willing, she was willing, we both agreed, what was wrong with that?


As for "what do you mean", was it important?

"No." Kane felt even more strange, "You have to make it clear, otherwise, don't even think about going upstairs tonight."


Ashley was angry, wasn't this person too overbearing?

"You don't have to say anything, I only have time to be with you. At most, I'll stay until you go to work tomorrow. If you still don't say anything by then, you no longer have to go to work."

A sense of unease rose in Ashley's heart. After a long while, she felt that this person would do it if she didn't say anything.

"Didn't I just say it? 17 billion is more important to me than my life." She slowly said, "But no matter how important it is, even if Young Master Kane is willing to give me 17 billion, I still don't want Young Master Kane to touch the wound on my forehead again.

Not just you, no one else.

That's why I feel like I shouldn't see you again. I took you downstairs to say goodbye to you. Thank you for the money, and thank you for eating the scallion noodles I cooked."

If it weren't for Kane, perhaps no one would ever get to taste this bowl of scallion noodles in this lifetime... She only felt that, instead of that person, someone else would get to taste the bowl of scallion noodles that she had specially learned to cook for that person.

'Thank you… for eating that bowl of noodles clean every time you eat, leaving nothing behind. Thank you… and there is evidence of its existence."

She pulled that big arm away from her wrist, turned around, grabbed the handrail of the stairs, and then went upstairs.

Kane's expression changed erratically.

She said… 17 billion, is that what she meant?

Did he misunderstand again?

If someone else said that, Kane definitely wouldn't believe it, he would just feel that the other person was making excuses, but if it was her, this woman… Kane couldn't say clearly what he was feeling in his heart.

Suddenly, he raised his long legs, like the wind, chasing Ashley upstairs, he stood a step away from her, an arm from behind, tightly holding Ashley's shoulder.

Although Kane was one step shorter than Ashley, he stood behind Ashley, still a little taller than Ashley, with that long and strong arm, holding Ashley tightly, suddenly, Ashley's shoulder was heavy, Kane suddenly lowered his head, pressed his head against Ashley's ear, extremely dangerously said: "Talking too much will make mistakes, you shouldn't answer me, make me... feel more interested in you."

Ashley was silent, "It has nothing to do with me."

"Ashley... you are an extremely cold person."

Ashley was silent, didn't say anything, and didn't refute.

How could she not know that she was cold... Who could stay in a place without sunlight for three years, and still be enthusiastic and charitable?

In that place, meddling in other people's business, is to harm oneself, for example... Lorne is just meddling in other people's business.

At such a young age, she had to wither away, a life, just like that, disappeared.

'Young Master Kane, let's not meet again."

She reached out to push him away, but only felt him suddenly change direction, immediately, Kane tied Ashley's two hands behind her back.

"What do you want to do?"

The answer for Ashley was, that Kane raised one of his arms, and his slender fingers pushed her hair aside.

Ashley was startled, her eyes widened: "Stop. Stop."

But no matter how she struggled, her arms were still tied tightly behind her back by Kane, Kane's magnetic voice, joking: "Don't move, you can't escape."

That hand, pushing her hair aside, no matter how stupid she was, she knew, this person wanted to do something.

"Young Master Kane, don't you know how to respect other people's wishes?"

Kane's thin lips moved: "Didn't you say it, you're just a whore, you can do anything for money."

Ashley's heart suddenly ached, she immediately laughed in her heart... She was a sensitive person, even good at being a prostitute, what else could she say?

But her hands were tied behind her back, tightened even more, her nails dug into her palms, and now she no longer felt pain.

"Anywhere is fine, but that place is not allowed." She stubbornly faced him, her eyes red, without blinking, "No, then no."

"What if I want to?"

Ashley lowered her eyes, not saying anything... Kane only felt that this woman at this moment, her whole body was shining... How could there be such a woman in this world?

Extremely ordinary, yet extremely arrogant.

In the end, what made such a woman?

A few seconds ago, she still made people feel bored, felt ordinary, but immediately one could see her sparkling body, sparkling to the point that people could not open their eyes.

His lips gently touched that scar, Kane clearly felt that this woman's whole body was trembling with tension, and her skin under his lips was also stiffening... In the end, how was this scar created?

Who caused this wound…

If he could create a wound on her body that was so deeply engraved that it could not be touched, how wonderful would that be?

Ashley's hand was squeezed even tighter, her fingernails dug deep into her palm, and blood flowed out, dripping… falling to the ground.

Finally, Kane let go of Ashley's hand.

A slap, in this dark staircase, sounded very clear.

"This slap of yours is really strong."

Ashley's hand trembled, but her eyes were very determined, there was a hint of pleasure in getting revenge: "Young Master Kane likes to sprinkle salt on other people's wounds like this, you probably already know, sprinkling salt on wounds, it hurts."
