'I don't want to drive tonight, I'll come pick it up tomorrow."

'Okay, then you wait a moment."


The parking attendant left and then came back, handing the car key to Ashley. It had been a long time since she had taken the subway or the bus.

Tonight, she especially wanted to take the subway or the bus.

The watch on her hand showed 20:30, almost midnight, but there were still many people on the street. People were walking back and forth, she heard footsteps and voices passing by. In the girl's eyes, there was a feeling almost like admiration.


Sitting on the subway and then transferred to the bus, and still could not ease the loneliness in her, still the same, alone, her heart was full of hundreds of thoughts, still could not escape the cage.

There was a call. She silently picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID, her eyes became heavy, she answered the call, and her eyes were a little tense and confused. "Sorry Ashley, we have tried our best." At the other end of the line was a mechanical female voice, speaking very skillfully.


"But didn't you guys say a week ago that there was someone suitable?"

'Ashley, I'm sorry, we contacted that person as soon as possible, but unfortunately, when we found that person, he had a car accident and passed away. The funeral was held today. We tried our best."

Ashley unconsciously clenched the phone: 'So, is his family suitable?"

'Sorry." The woman on the other end of the line spoke mechanically.

Ashley was silent.

'Ashley? Ashley? Are you okay?"

Ashley immediately regained her composure: 'It's okay, as for everyone's remuneration, I will transfer it to everyone's account without missing a penny."

'Ashley, don't worry, since you came to us, we will try our best. Believe me, in this world, there is not just one person whose marrow is suitable for your brother."

'Okay, I've troubled everyone."

She said blandly, but she knew in her heart that this opportunity was not something that could be obtained just by saying it.

Even if it was, it still depended on whether Bentley could wait.

Hanging up the phone, she gently touched her back, the night scene outside the window quickly drifted away, she couldn't see the scenery outside clearly, it was very blurry, the most dazzling thing was the colorful lights on the roadside. She gradually lost focus. Get out of the car. There was still a distance from where she was standing. She walked towards it, walking very very slowly, partly because her legs were uncomfortable walking, partly because of the resistance in her heart. After walking too much, her legs started to hurt. Behind her, there was a cold wind whistling.

The sound of brakes suddenly, a black Maybach stopped right next to her.

She frowned... how could someone drive here?

The car door opened, "Miss Ashley, please come with us."

She looked coldly, "It's dark, can you still see with sunglasses on?"

The person chuckled: "As long as I can see clearly that it's Ashley."

"What if I say I'm not going?"

"Then I can only invite you to the car."

Ashley looked coldly at the other person: "Christian, who do you work for now?"

"Of course, I work for the Elise family. Ashley, you already know and still ask." Christian's expression was no longer patient: "Alright, I still have to report the mission, Ashley, think for yourself, do you get in the car yourself or do you need a maid to invite you in?"

Ashley was sweating slightly, trying to calm down: "Alright, I'll go with you."

She sat quietly in the Maybach, tilting her head to look outside, the old building was not far away, sitting in the car she could still see the bright windows.

The car door closed, and Christian sat in the passenger seat: "Ashley, we meet again."

"That's right, we meet again. But you are someone else's dog."

Christian looked agitated, embarrassed: "Whose fault is it? Ashley, no matter how angry I am, it is still better than a brutal murderer like you."

Ashley's lips twitched, not arguing or explaining... did she kill someone or not, didn't Christian know?

Elise's house was located on a very large plot of land, in the movement there was stillness, in the stillness there was movement, a hundred years ago it was located on this land, respected by everyone.

In the faint smoke of incense, Sir Elise's face appeared and disappeared in the smoke, revealing the wrinkles on his old face.

Ashley was brought into the living room, standing in the middle of the hall for a long time, except for Sir Elise, beside her were the other people in Elise's house, they clasped their hands in front of their chests.

Ashley suddenly laughed softly, her eyes rolling around, it was really like an ancient court, and she was a "Prisoner".

Mr. Elise likes to smoke, the sound of cigarettes constantly gurgling, occasionally ringing out.

Christian stood behind Mr. Elise, on the left and right were the butlers of the Elise family, solemnly becoming Mr. Elise's right and left arms.

Ashley's eyes were indifferent, glancing over Christian's smug face, her lips parted into a smile. It's just that this smile was extremely sarcastic... Being able to teach Milan a domineering personality, Mr. Elise taught Milan, how could he accept this dog, a traitorous servant.

The sound of the pipe hitting the table, and a cough broke the silence, the old butler immediately took out a spittoon the size of a hand, and brought it in front of Mr. Elise.

Waiting for Mr. Elise to finish everything, Ashley still stood silently in the middle of the hall.

Mr. Elise finally saw the girl standing in the hall, just glanced at him, suddenly squinted, and looked Ashley up and down, his pupils were cloudy, extremely arbitrary.

Ashley still stood there calmly and quietly.

Mr. Elise put down the cup of tea that the old butler brought to rinse his mouth, "Your grandfather taught you well."

"Let you laugh at me."

She replied indifferently.

What was Mr. Elise's purpose in doing these things, she understood.

From the beginning, he let Christian block her way, then when he arrived at Elise's house, he let her stand in the hall, coldly looking at her, in front of her was a legendary figure in the business world, doing all these things, to make her feel uneasy.

"I feel very strange. Tell me, your damn grandfather taught you to be so smart and outstanding. Six years ago, why did my grandson bring you to that place?"

Mr. Elise said slowly.
