Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 309 The Wolf and the Lying Kid

She stared at Manuel. Although they both knew the answer, she still wanted to hear it herself.

Manuel’s mouth moved slightly, but he did not say anything.

This answer was in his heart. He had wanted to say it to Ainsley countless times, but he had never opened

his mouth.

“Manuel, why don’t you answer?” Irene’s tone became crazier. She had never called Manuel so coldly.

But this time, she really couldn’t help it.

After a long time of neglect, Manuel’s special treatment of Ainsley pierced her heart, making Irene feel pain.

More than once, Irene wanted to ask Manuel about his true feelings. Even if she knew who he would choose,

she still held a trace of hope.

However, surprisingly, Manuel was silent. He did not answer. It was as if he was hiding something. Irene

sneered in his heart. Such being the case, there was nothing to hide.

“Irene, have you heard of the story of the wolf and the lying kid?” Manuel suddenly said.

Irene did not understand why he suddenly mentioned this story. “Of course.”

All the primary students would learn the story from their textbooks. Everyone knew it.

Manuel’s eyes became sharp, like sharp ***. “If I were the village chief, I would go to the wolves and kill the wolves when the kid first said the wolf came.”

“What do you mean?” Irene was shocked.

“I won’t leave any potential risk. Irene, understand?” Manuel was lying on the bed, looking pale, yet

domineering.

“Manuel, so you want to say that Ainsley is a sheep? What about me? A wolf or a kid?” Irene was not

afraid of

Manuel.

Without waiting for Manuel to answer, she lowered her head and smiled. “Manuel, have you forgotten

that the sheep have already been eaten once? Do you think that the sheep with a wound will return to

the flock of sheep and still stay in the flock after recovering its memory?”

Manuel was stunned. This was undoubtedly his weakness.

That was right. He was afraid that Ainsley would know what had happened.

His fist was clenched tightly and then released. He relaxed a lot. “If there is no way to be safe in the

cage, I will personally remove the railing and let it out.”

At this point, Irene’s expression changed again and again.

A few minutes later, she restrained her imposing manner, as if she was the young girl who worshipped.

Manuel again.

“Manuel, please don’t scare me. We grew up together, and we were destined to be a couple. I don’t want

to delay this any longer. When you are discharged from the hospital, let’s discuss the engagement,

okay?”

Manuel narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not answer, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep.

Irene knew that he would not answer her, so she went home.

At noon the next day, Irene came over with a thermos, as if nothing had happened and they hadn’t had

those conversations. She put the soup on the small table.

“Manuel, the doctor said that you can leave tonight. I cooked this myself. I have never cooked. You must

finish it.”

Manuel took the plate with an expressionless face, picked up the spoon, and took a sip.

“Thank you.”

A cold light flashed in Irene’s eyes. She could hear the coldness and alienation in Manuel’s words.

However, she took out her tablet and worked by the bed. Brady was very dissatisfied with the last design.

He

ordered her to finish the project before the completion of PineMist Island and make a vacation island ten

times better than PineMist Island.

The team went to the designer within a week. Luckily, the designer did not mind the episode. Instead, he

helped them to redesign.

“If you are busy, you don’t have to come to see me.” Manuel ate the soup up.

“Manuel, I’m worried if I don’t stay with you,” Irene replied and immediately continued to work.

Manuel did not say anything and looked out the window.

Two days later, in the shabby slum, more than a dozen men pushed open a shabby door. The man inside was

playing a game on an old computer, fiercely scolding his teammates. He madly typed away several keys, as if he was angry enough to crush the keyboard.

He was so excited that he did not even hear those people coming in. One hand rudely took off the

headphones on his head, and the man finally found that there were other people in the room.

He looked at the man in the lead in panic and said with a trembling voice, “Gavin, didn’t we agree on a week? Only two days have passed! In a week, I will definitely give you the money.”

The man named Gavin glared at him fiercely. He waved his hand and a few people came forward to control

the man.

Before Gavin finished smoking the cigarette in his mouth, he directly took out the cigarette butt and pressed it down on the man’s arm.

Before the man could even react, he felt a burning pain. There was a big blister on his arm. He looked at Gavin in pain. “Gavin, I beg you. Didn’t we agree on a week?”

Gavin finally threw the cigarette butt on the ground and walked over with interest. Gavin looked at his face

full of disdain, which came from the bottom of his heart.

Those people finally threw the man to the ground. Gavin looked at the man as if he was looking at a dead dog. “I said I would give you a week. But can’t I go back on my word? Give me the money now, or I will make you lose an arm and leg today. You are healthy. Why don’t you go to work but rely on a woman?”

“Gavin! Don’t hit me! The injury last time has not been healed yet. I will be beaten to death if you hit me again. Please let me go. Give me three more days! Can you give me three days?” the man said with ***and tears.

Gavin shook his head and said coldly, “Jeffrey, you used up all the opportunities I gave you. How many days has it been since you borrowed money from us? Don’t forget that I am just a hired thug. In this world, even if you are a white-collar worker in a big company, no one will investigate your death as long as there are connections, let alone a parasite in a slum. Do you really think your life is valuable? 160 thousand dollars! I must get 160 thousand dollars!”

Jeffrey Levine’s shoulders trembled wildly. He suddenly thought of something and said, “Gavin! I still have a son and a woman. You can just sell both of them! They can be sold for more than tens of thousands of

dollars. Give me a few more days!”

Gavin laughed loudly, “Jeffrey, that woman is not young. She has given birth to a child and is not worth much. Besides, we don’t want to do this kind of business. You are really heartless. You want to sell your woman and son when you don’t have money. It’s a shame to talk to you! Give you a few days? Don’t even think about it. I want the money tomorrow!”
