Chapter 95: The Loss of Heart
Aaron inclined his head sideways, looking out the window, and did not respond.
Sherry was about to push open the car door at once.
“Stand still.”
The man’s cold to the core voice rang out behind her, “The Allen family has dropped their case against the Night Group, your job is done, there is no need, for another incident.”
Sherry’s mind was blurred and the man was pulled back with great force.
Then he instructed the driver to drive.
All along the way, Sherry carried her breath.
Until she was brought into the Swift Family, there was still a burning anger in her eyes.
Aaron glanced at her expression and eyed her with displeasure, “You look at me with that look again and I’ll gouge your eyes out.”
Sherry gave a sarcastic laugh.
“Please do.”
The anger she had been suppressing in her heart seemed to have found an outlet tonight, and once again, she confronted Aaron in this house.
“Mr. Swift is too far-sighted to care what someone like me thinks, so why not just cut off my arms and legs, gouge out my eyes and plant me in a flower pot on the first floor?”
“That way I won’t see you harboring Nola.”
Sherry never imagined that she would one day be so tongue-tied in front of Aaron.
She felt emboldened herself.
But now that the words were out of her mouth, she didn’t care about the consequences; anyway, she hadn’t done anything wrong.
With this in mind, she lifted her chin a little higher and looked straight at the man in front of her, without half a ripple, like a deep inky pool from afar, devoid of emotion and soul.
In that moment, even Aaron’s mind wavered.
In a harsh voice, he said, “Sherry, you really aren’t afraid to die.”
Sherry Tso was stunned for a couple of seconds, then she gathered her courage and stepped forward, “I’m afraid, but I’m more afraid of dying at the hands of Nola and the Garcia Family, that would be a loss for me, I’ll see Nola’s reputation crumble any way I can!”
Let her confess all the stupid things she has done, one by one, in her own words.
The chill in Aaron’s brow thickened.
“Sherry, do you know what you’re talking about?”
With a lift of his wrist, he pressed down on her shoulder, and with a little pressure he could see her begging for mercy through the pain.
But it was like Sherry had taken the wrong kind of medicine today.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Just stared straight at him, not condescending, “I just can’t understand why …” when it’s clear you know what Nola is like as well.
Halfway through the conversation, Aaron’s phone rang.
Sherry averted her eyes to the ringtone, which was Nola’s exclusive ringtone.
And, she made a mental bet with herself that she would soon be hidden by Aaron in the upstairs guest room because his Nola was coming to see him.
The Garcia Family had done such a shameful job, of course they came over to find out the truth.
The Garcia Family has probably blown up after hurting the young master of the Adelpha Group.
Especially after David had shelled out $60 million for Nola, Sherry would have loved to see the old man blowing his brains out in anger.
Everything, as she had expected.
Aaron didn’t answer the phone with much of a gentle tone, except that after listening to what was said on the other end, he compromised and allowed Nola to come over to him.
Sherry thought nothing of it and went into the upstairs guest room herself.
Lest we leave at this time and run right into Nola.
She had done this, not once or twice, and closed the door lightly and got under the covers.
Finally, the tears did not flow down without a fight.
There was a little more relief and peace in her heart, now that she saw through them and knew Aaron’s preference for Nola, so there was no pity.
They, one and the same!
The sound of Nola’s silvery laughter soon came from downstairs and was disgusting.
Sherry wrapped herself a little tighter under the covers, wondering if Aaron would break the rules and let Nola stay tonight, and what kind of face Nola would make if she knew she was lying next door?
Sherry bit the corner of her lip.
If, however, Nola manages to stay tonight, Sherry will make some noise in the middle of the night to give her a good scare.
In the living room downstairs, Nola was looking at Aaron, her eyes were soft and gentle, “Aaron, did I come at a bad time? Actually, I didn’t want to come, but my father was worried that you might get into trouble with the Adelpha Group, so he asked me to come over and ask if there was anything I could do for you?”
The Garcia Family also knew that the meeting that day had not been a pleasant one.
So it was an opportunity for Nola to come over and poke around.
Her gentle, good-natured face reflected in Aaron’s eyes, no longer the same as it had been at first, and the man said in a deep voice, “No, it’s taken care of.”
“Deal with it?”
Nola didn’t control her expression for a moment.
Realizing something was wrong, he immediately changed his look, “I knew it, you must …”
“I have a video conference tonight, so have your driver take you back.” With that, he got up and headed upstairs.
Nola had only been in the door for a short time and was about to be kicked out before she even finished her cup of coffee.
How could she resign herself to it!
Just as Aaron’s feet were about to step up to the plate.
Nola gritted her teeth and opened her mouth, “I heard Sherry had something to do with this one too, did she put Ken in the hospital?”
“Heard?”
Aaron turned back around, “Who did you hear that from.”
Nola’s words, and the Garcia Family’s recent movements, are broken.
He, on the other hand, was just giving her chances over and over again.
Even waiting at all times for Nola to come clean.
“My brother said so.” Nola saw that something was wrong with his expression and pursed her lips, “Am I being nosy again? Don’t be angry, I’m just worried about you, I know you’ve been in a bad mood lately because of what’s going on in my family.”
Nola moves with a look of concern.
Even if Aaron is angry and irritated, she can still be patient and coax him.
“Don’t mind if I say something wrong, I really don’t know anything, unlike Sherry, who is all set to be your assistant, and it’s hard for me to even see you.” Nola said, with a sobbing tone in her voice.
She would also carefully gauge Aaron’s expression as she said this.
It’s a pity.
He was not one of those men out there who would be bewitched by the softness of her voice.
“If you hadn’t mentioned Sherry, maybe this would have, well, just been over.” His eyes sank slightly as he took a step back to her.
Nola’s pupils wobbled.
“Aaron, what do you mean by that? I can’t even just ask now?” Nola also felt aggrieved, “Don’t you think you’re being too sensitive, I just mentioned Sherry and you got upset.”
Eventually, she guessed the possibility.
Nola turned sharply to look at the door.
She rushed over in a few steps and looked at the shoe cupboard with a pair of guest slippers missing from the front.
The tips of her fingers tightened slowly, “Sherry’s not at your house right now, is she?”
Aaron wrinkled his brow in silence.
