    Chapter 49 Why Don''t You Try to Please Me?


    "No money,” Gwenyth answered Edison''s question with two words.


    Yes, no money.


    Not only did they have no money, but they also owed a lot of debt.


    For the past four years, her family had been hiding everywhere.


    Sometimes they couldn''t even afford food and clothing, let alone college


    “Anything else?" Edison looked at her silently, suddenly stretched out his hand to grab her wrist. and pulled her closer to him.


    She was pulled down and leaned on his shoulder.


    "What are you doing?” She wanted to back away, but he hugged her.


    He put his arms around her back, hugging her tightly, "Why don’t you try to please me? I can give you the job you want.”


    Gwenyth was amused.


    "Edison, now you not only hire me to help you chase girls, but you also want to hire me to work for you?"


    Edison found her words harsh.


    "Can''t you?”


    "Sorry, I don''t want to.”


    Even if she couldn''t find a suitable job. she wouldn''t work for Edison. When the agreement expired, he would probably get what he wanted, and then


    hold a wedding with Nancy.


    At that time, she''d better take the money and leave, and stay far away from him.


    "I''ll give you time to think about it.” Edison let go. She immediately backed away a few steps, keeping a distance from him.


    "Anything else?"


    "Yes." Edison leaned back, looking a little tired, "I have a headache. Give me a massage."


    Gwenyth put the drawing book on the coffee table. took two steps forward, sat next to him, stretched out her hands, and massaged his head


    Her massage skills were not good and her force was uneven.


    He felt ufortable, and quickly waved her hands away, "Forget it. Geo and run a bath.”


    Gwenyth couldn''t wait to go.


    She got up quickly and went upstairs with her drawing book. She went to the master bedroom to run a bath. Before Edison came up, she quickly


    slipped back to her room and locked the door.


    She was about to take a shower and go to bed when her phone rang suddenly.


    It was Urs.


    She picked it up, "Mom, why haven''t you slept yet?"


    Urs''s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Gwen, something happened here. Can youe over?"


    "What happened?"


    "Susie and I were arrested. They said Susie was stealing.”


    After asking where they were, Gwenyth picked up her bag, opened the door, and rushed out.


    She ran up the stairs and bumped into Edison who was going upstairs.


    When he was knocked back by her, he took a step back and held one hand on the handrail of the stairs to stabilize his body.


    "You''re so reckless. What are you doing?” He got a little angry and growled at her.


    "I''m sorry. I didn''t mean to. Something happened and I have to go out.” She walked around Edison and hurried downstairs.


    "Where are you going?"


    Gwenyth didn''t respond, walking quickly.


    Edison followed and stopped her at the door, "What happened?”


    "Something happened to my family. My sister was used of stealing things. They have been detained and not allowed to leave. I have to go there


    now.” Gwenyth wanted to shake off Edison''s hand, but he held her tightly.


    "I''ll go with you.”


    "No need.”


    "Like I said, I don’t like hearing no." Edison was tough. He told her to stand still, let go of her hand, took out his phone, and called Andy.


    Andy came quickly.


    They got in the car and arrived at the store where Urs and Susie were within ten minutes.


    It was a cosmetics store, even a brand gship store, under the Yates GroupContent property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Gwenyth subconsciously looked at Edison beside her, "Are you going in?"


    He nced at her lightly. "Andy will go in with you and deal with it."


    She opened the door and got out of the car.


    Andy followed her, and the two entered the store together.


    They found the staff to exin why they came, and they were quickly taken to the manager''s office.


    Urs and Susie were sitting next to each other on the sofa, and beside them stood two big men in security uniforms, looking fierce.


    Sitting in the big chair behind the desk, the manager nced over the faces of Gwenyth and Andy. Then he locked at the surveince screen, ying


    the scene of Susie stealing things again


    In the surveince video, Gwenyth stood in front of a row of lipsticks, looked at them for a while, took one of them, and put it in the pocket of her


    trousers.


    It was irrefutable evidence.

    Gwenyth noticed lipstick on the manager''s desk. It was quite expensive and cost hundreds of dors.


    "Pay for the lipstick and go, right?” She asked the manager.

    Gwenyth frowned slightly and felt very ufortable listening to the manager calling Susie a fool.


    Susie had always been obedient and


    had never stolen anything. She didn''t

    She took out the money from her bag. Just as she was about to pay for the lipstick, Andy said, "Miss Lovce, take them out and wait for me."


    "I''ll just give him the money."


    "No need for this, Miss Lovce. You wait outside and I''ll take care of the rest."


    Gwenyth hesitated and then nodded.


    She walked up to Urs and Susie and took them out of the office.


    Two security guards followed and stared at them as if they were afraid they would run away.


    "Mom, why are you here?” She turned her back and asked Urs in a low voice.


    "We were walking on the road, and Susie ran in when she saw this store.” Urs was also confused, not knowing why Susie had behaved like this.


    Usually, when she went out to work, Susie would follow her. She was very obedient and never ran around


    The key point was that Susie had stolen lipstick. No one in their family had used that kind of thing. Susie probably didn''t even know what lipstick was.


    used for.


    Gwenyth sighed helplessly, and she pulled Susie closer, "Tell me. Why did you take that lipstick?”


    Susie lowered her head and tightly clutched the corners of her clothes with both hands as if she knew she had done something wrong. She didn''t


    dare to say a word.


    "Susie. I''m not angry with you. But you have to tell me why you took that lipstick, okay?”


    Susie turned around, raised her hand slowly, and pointed to a star poster, "It looks pretty.”


    Gwenyth looked up. It was the poster of Nancy''s endorsement lipstick, and it was also the brand of lipstick that Susie had stolen.


    "Just because it looks pretty?”


    Susie pursed her lips, sped her hands together, and murmured, "I want you to look pretty.”


    She always spoke so concisely.


    Gwenyth had been with her long enough to understand what she meant.


    Susie just thought she would look prettier if she wore lipstick, but she didn’t know that stealing was wrong.
