Billionaire's Sweetheart

Chapter 683

That night, Felicity passed it in a state of unease.

Fortunately, the two children stayed at the villa halfway up the mountain, otherwise, her panicked look would have been seen through by her smart son.

Just when Felicity was scared witless, on this night, Richard also did not have a good rest.

He had a terrifying dream.

In the dream, his elder brother scolded him with a pained face, asking him why he snatched away the woman he loved.

In the end, he even jumped off a cliff because he felt too much guilt and remorse.

The cold wind blew, Richard blamed himself and felt guilty, thinking, if he just died, it would be fine..

When he woke up, Richard realized that he was still lying in his hotel room. The reason he felt cold was because the windows had not been closed that night.

Richard impatiently scratched his clean and tidy short hair and stood in the bathroom mirror. Looking at his pale face that was weary due to lack of sleep.

Where was his arrogantly proud self?

Why was he showing only negativity and decadence now?

This was definitely not like him anymore.

Richard depressingly and ruthlessly slapped his face.

Wake up, the matter is already out of control, if he does not think of a way to fix it, probably his brother and Felicity will be at odds, what about those two cute little nephews?

What should he do with the old couple who were worried about him?

Previously, he felt that there was a heavy burden on his shoulders, but now, the psychological burden was pressing down on him until he was unable to breathe.

Just as Richard was feeling dejected, he heard a knocking sound.

Richard was extremely annoyed as he walked over. Looking through the peephole, he saw a similarly tired little face.

It's Eliza!

This damnable woman, why hasn't she left yet?

Richard impatiently opened the door, and looked at her with a disdainful expression: "Why are you still hanging around here? Didn't I tell you to ask for my permission first?" Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Boss, I told you yesterday that I don't have a single cent on me, so how am I going back? Please help me to the end. In any case, I'll be your subordinate from now on. How about give me a bit more money

so I can buy a plane ticket back? I promise, I'II do whatever you want me to do in the future." Eliza was a girl who was lively and optimistic, with cheeky cheek. She did not regard her pride and dignity as more important than her life, she only wanted to hold this big tree as this tree would change her future.

"Heh, how shameless you are, you still dare to be my subordinate?" Richard really despised her with scoundrelly expression.

He had always thought that women were always self-respecting and would never take the initiative to ask others for help or borrow money.

Seeing that Richard had put all of his loathing on her face, she could only turn around dejectedly. "Fine, I'll think of a way to return home!"

Richard had thought that she would continue to bitterly beg him but who would have thought that after being scolded by him, she was about to turn around and leave while holding her backbone?

"Wait!" Richard suddenly said.

Eliza's beautiful eyes instantly lit up, she turned around and looked at him expectantly: "Boss, are you planning to help me out?"

"Didn't you just say that as long as I'm willing to give you money, you'll agree to anything?" A hint of black and craftiness flashed past the bottom of Richard's deep and serene eyes.

Just a moment ago, he was frustrated to the point that he didn't know how to deal with his elder brother's investigation. But now, looking at the face that desperately needed help, he seemed to have found a pretty good solution.

"Is that so? Did I say that?" Although she was in a hurry to use the money, she didn't have no bottom line. If the condition that this man put forward was something that she could fulfill, she would naturally agree to it. If he asked for outrageous things, she would have to reject him.

When Richard saw her blinking eyes, he knew that she was actually quite intelligent and knew how to pretend to be stupid.

"Coincidentally, I have something that requires your help. If you agree, I'll pay you an additional 500,000 dollar!" Richard did not want to bargain with her, because this matter was extremely urgent. He had to obtain her consent as soon as possible.

"Five hundred thousand?" Eliza spread open her five fingers, her pair of beautiful eyes wide with disbelief: "So much money, you're not asking me to sell myself to you, are you?!"

Richard couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Why was this woman so forward in her thinking?

"That's pretty much what I meant, but don't worry, I won't touch you. I just want you to pretend to be my girlfriend!" Richard explained coldly.

"Be your girlfriend? Are you kidding? Weren't you always changing girlfriends? Oh... Wait, don't you already have a woman you like?"

"That woman is…"

"Shut up!" Richard's face instantly looked as though he was falling into a storm, gloomy and unsightly, he berated her fiercely: "If you dare to say another word, do you believe that I won't let you see tomorrow's sun!"

Eliza was so scared that her entire body shivered.

Oh my god, this man's expression is so scary, as if he's really going to eat me.

Since this was his taboo, she would try her best not to touch it in the future.

"Alright, I won't bring it up again. Can you stop looking at me like that? I'm scared." Eliza immediately had an obedient expression, begging him.

Seeing that she finally remembered, Richard asked with a cold voice: "Then do you to accept my condition?"

"Five hundred thousand! Isn't that a bit too little!" Eliza was not an honest girl, her life and environment since she was young had trained her to become very tactful.

She knew how to read people's minds and seeing that Richard seemed to care a lot about this matter, she took the chance to raise the price.

"One million! Is that enough?" Richard was practically raging because of her, he had never seen a woman greedier than her, 500 thousand, was the number small? It wasn't like he really wanted her to contribute her body.

"Enough, enough!" Eliza never thought that she would only be trying to raise the bid, but actually

realize her dream, causing her to be overjoyed.

Seeing she was in such an exaltation, Richard immediately regretted why he had employed her.

But if he didn't choose her, there was no other woman to choose from.

Furthermore, she knew what he had done to Felicity. Holding this woman to her side would at least shut her mouth tightly and prevent her from revealing the secret.

When Eliza thought about that she had so much money into her account, stars started flying in her eyes. Thus, she quickly asked, "Then, let's talk about the details of the collaboration!"
