When Selma saw her at Patterson Group, she was surprised: "Why do you have time..." 

"You brought the cooperation plan with Kane here, I still have some small points to review." 


"But..." 

"If it's a plan revision that can bring better benefits to the cooperation of both parties, then I think the other party will also happily agree. Selma, in this world, no one will refuse more money."

Selma was stunned.


This was not Ashley's style at all.

Of course, everyone liked money. But she knew that for this idiot Ashley, what she valued more was probably that man. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to this point today.


"Okay... okay." She muttered and turned away.

She herself had said that she wanted to pull Ashley out of that vortex, but now, hearing all the words related to that idiot's money and hobbies, she didn't know what to do. In her office, as soon as she entered, she called Meadow.

Because of Ashley's relationship, she and Meadow had gotten to know each other. Meadow, this woman was very special, open-minded, and a wise, skillful, and affectionate businesswoman, incredibly charming, they had just met and felt like old friends.

"Did I do something wrong?" Ashley muttered and asked, "Am I thinking what I think is right? But I just don't want her to be hurt again."

 Meadow said, 'I don't know exactly what happened, but I think there are some things that no one can interfere with. But no matter what you say to that silly girl, today is her choice. You say she listens, she doesn't listen, it's all her choice."

An uninvited guest barged into Ashley's office. At that time, there was still a business partner in her office.

A person rushed in, followed by the chairman's secretary who ran after him to stop him, 'Sir, you can't come in. The chairman is receiving important guests inside."

In the office, the two heard the commotion and their hearts flew out the door.

Ashley looked at the person who came in and slightly pursed her lips. 

'Sorry, chairman, this person insists on barging in.." The secretary explained apologetically.

'Why are you here?" Ashley indifferently opened her mouth to ask the person outside the door.

'Why can't I come in?" The other person's face was pale, and the bottom of his eyes were blue: "There's more." He angrily said to the secretary beside him: "Open your eyes and see who I am." 

The secretary was frightened by the gloom in his eyes, "Sorry, sorry..."

Ashley frowned at her, and nodded to the secretary: "You go out first." 

The secretary breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Yes." 

When the secretary turned to leave, Ashley glanced at the other person again, paused for a moment, then called the secretary back: "Wait a minute."

"President, is there anything else?"

She was a university student who had just graduated this year and was able to enter such a large enterprise, she was very respectful. But today she couldn't stop the uninvited guest from barging in, afraid that the president would criticize her for not being able to do such a simple thing, she had been feeling uneasy all this time.

Ashley's cheeks were slightly hot, and she bowed her head slightly: "Go pour a glass of water and bring it here."

 "Yes, President."

The secretary lifted her feet and left.

Behind her, "Also, don't be so nervous, I won't fire you because you let my brother into the office."

The secretary was stunned, "Oh", five seconds later she almost screamed... President's brother?

She suddenly turned her head to look at the very dissatisfied man but was afraid of his gloomy eyes, and hurriedly left the office.

Bentley's complexion was very bad.

Ashley stood up: "Why don't you go to the hospital to recuperate?"

"Recuperate." Bentley revealed a mocking smile: "If I continue to recuperate, I will lose my life."

Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows, but only for a moment, then returned to normal, gently opening her mouth: "The hospital is a place to save people and heal the wounded."

Bentley gritted his teeth, glaring at Ashley, "Do you know why I have to come here? The hospital can't save me."

 'If the doctor can't save you, then you running here won't solve the problem," Ashley said indifferently.

Bentley looked over quietly, his eyes filled with anger, but also determination: 'Are you going to watch me die without saving me?"

He didn't want to wait any longer, during the chemotherapy, the hair on his head fell out in clumps, he had always hated wearing hats the most, but now he had to do the thing he hated the most.

He still couldn't quit smoking.

He didn't want to live like this kind of person who was neither human nor a ghost anymore, he didn't dare to sleep every night, just afraid that he wouldn't be able to wake up the next day. He hated the injustice of heaven.

Why did he get this disease?

Ashley glanced at her colleague sitting at the desk - Kane. She didn't want to discuss this matter with Bentley in front of outsiders.

"You should go back to the hospital first, I'll go to the hospital to visit you tonight."

No matter what, even if he had to tear his face off, he couldn't do it in front of outsiders. But Bentley seemed to have been surrounded by the shadow of death for too long, he had been afraid for too long, enduring illness, causing his heart to be unable to think of anything other than his own life and death.

"Don't think you can fool me, Ashley, just say one thing, do you want to watch your brother die without saving him?"

 He wanted an answer, he didn't want to wait any longer, he didn't want to die, he was so young. 

Ashley still kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything. 

Bentley looked and looked again, looking straight into her clear, determined eyes.
