Staring at her, Tassach said, “Can you treat me the way as you used to? You were not so elegant and
luxury as now, but you were purer and kinder, and not so cold as now.”
He thought he could control the old Ophelia. The Ophelia now had shallower smile. She became more
polite and colder. Sometimes he even wanted to tear apart her fake mask to see if she was the person
she used to be.
How he wished she could become the old her, who had bright smile, like a sunshine angel.
Ophelia hesitated a second and said, “Mr. Conduibh, time can change people. The old Ophelia has
died since the day when she was trapped to be in debt. The Ophelia who is standing in front of you is a
material girl, who married the heir to the Chambers Group for money.”
A deep grief emerged in his eyes. He suddenly kissed her on the neck as if being crazy. She had to
pushed him away with all her strength and slapped him on the face so hard that he turned his head.
“Tassach, enough is enough.” She looked at him coldly and continued, “I don’t know what’s wrong with
you. I will forget all you did just now, but if you dare do this to me again, I’ll break with you.”
He kept looking at her, which made her a little scared.
“Since you said you love money, I’m as rich as Zachariah, I can give the money as much as you want.
Since you can sell yourself to him, why don’t you sell to me?” he said in a serious tone.
She said, “Mr. Conduibh, enough of it. It’s work time.”
“Ophelia, you know I won’t kid you. If Zachariah can buy you, why can’t I? I’ll give you all I have as long
as you ask.” He stared at her.
She looked at him with sadness in her eyes, saying, “Tassach, I thought you are my friend. Never have
I expected to hear you say this to me.”
With bloody eyes, he said calmly and slowly, “I didn’t mean to hurt you. But if I can get you in this way, I
will do it.”
Her heart was painfully pierced. She had never thought that Tassach would be so judgmental to her.
She had a mixed feeling inside, but had to fake a smile, “You’re so generous, Mr. Conduibh. But is it
worthwhile to run out of all your money for me?”
Without any hesitation, he said, “Of course. You deserve it.”
She sneered, “I didn’t know I deserve so much money.”
He took a check out of his pocket and gave it to her. “This is a blank check and you can fill in the
amount as much as you like.”
“Zachariah will give me ten percent of the shared of the Chambers Group to me if I divorce him. Do you
think you can give me more than that?”
A hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
She noticed that and smiled, “Weren’t you saying you would give me all of your money? Do you
change your mind?”
“Of course not. The question is all of my money are not as much as ten percent of the shared of the
Chambers Group. But if you give me two more years, I will expand my company.”
He made a promise.
“Then talk about the money with me until you earn enough. I don’t like empty promise. Without the
support of your family, you are not so competent as Zachariah. Do you really think I will give up him to
choose you?”
He stared at her and said in a low voice, “Ophelia, you’ve changed a lot.”
She laughed her head off, then she said in a seemingly casual way, “Mr. Conduibh, I didn’t expect you
to say such stupid things. Time flies. Not only have I changed, you’ve changed too. Oh no, I should say
everyone is changing. But I accept myself for who I am.”
Holding her chin, he approached her. “Are you serious? Will you really marry me as long as I can give
you the money worthy of ten percent of shares of the Chambers Group?”
She struggled out of him and said, “Mr.Conduibh, please show some respect if you think me as your
friend, and then we can get along. Otherwise, maybe I’ll disappear for ten years.”
He released her chin and stared at her painfully.
“Do you hate me so much?”
Shaking her head, she said, “No, I don’t want you to treat me like this because I think you as one of my
friends.”
He shook his head and forced a smile, “If I don’t do it, I won’t have any chance of getting you.”
“I promise you that I’ll give you a chance if I divorce Zachariah. But it’s definitely not now. You’re a
gentleman, so don’t put yourself into such a miserable state because of me. We’ll be together if there is
chemistry between us, but if there isn’t, I also hope you don’t force me.” said she.
“Really?” his eyes arose a trace of hope.
She nodded.
She nodded.
