But when she heard Gavin''s heartless words, her heart still ached, it wasn''t numb.


    He sent her and her mother to a poorer country in the West and hasn''t been in charge of her since then.-


    Where would she get the money?


    If she had money, how could her brother have died from dyed treatment?


    Her hands, hanging at her side, clenched into fists.


    Gavin seemed to have thought of this and looked slightly embarrassed, "Let''s go, it''s time for Jones’ family to arrive, it''s not good to keep them


    waiting.”


    "Lindsay ...... " Joan worried, still trying to persuade Lindsay. She has already lost her son, now she only wanted to take care of her daughter. Money


    no longer mattered


    She didn''t want her daughter to step into the Forrest family, or the Jones family.


    Rich and powerful families wereplicated, and there was no telling what kind of man the younger Jones might be.


    She was worried.


    "Mom." Lindsay gave her aforting look to reassure her.


    “Hurry up." Gavin urged impatiently, for fear Lindsay would change her mind, and pushed her a little.


    Gavin couldn''t get fond of her, and Lindsay hardly felt emotionally attached to her father.


    All the family affection has been worn out in eight years.


    Lindsay was too underdressed to meet the Jones family, so Gavin took her to an upscale dress shop to buy her a decent dress.


    As soon as they entered the door, a shop assistant came to greet them. Gavin pushed Lindsay forward and said, "Find her something she can wear.”


    The assistant looked her up and down and knew roughly what size she wore, "Come with me, please."


    The assistant took a light blue dress and handed it to her, “You can try it on in the fitting room."


    Lindsay took it and walked towards the fitting room.


    "Hugo, do you have to marry the woman from the Forrest family?" The woman''s voice sounded vaguely aggrieved.


    Lindsay suddenly heard the voice and looked towards the next room. Through the crack of the door, she saw a woman wrapping around a man''s


    neck with her arms and pouting, "Don''t marry any other woman, okay?”


    Hugo Jones looked at the woman and seemed a little helpless - it was a marriage his mother had decided for him and there was no turning back.


    But thinking of that night, he could not bear to disappoint her, "Did it hurt a lot that night?"


    More than a month ago, he went


    abroad to a backward country to


    investi gate a I project, andhe was ?


    bitten bya poisonous snake, the


    poisormof which was so strong:that


    if hecdid not abreact through &


    waman, he would dieof <>


    dfyness-heat.


    It was Judith White, who offered herself as his antidote.


    He knew how he was out of control at the time


    And it was said that a woman''s first time was painful, and he had no mercy, so he could imagine how much she hurt


    But she forbore from making a sound, and only trembled in his arms


    Judith White liked him, and he always knew it, but never gave her a chance.


    The first was because he did not love her, and the second was because his mother had arranged a marriage for him.


    But she has always been quietly by his side, and after that time. he felt he should give this woman the title


    Until now, he still remembered the red, and how fiery it was.


    Judith put her head on his chest, with her eyes slightly lowered, and hummed shyly.


    She liked Huge and had been with


    him all theseyears as a secretary.


    But it had been long since she was.


    no longer a virgin, and she couldnt


    let Huge:know that. She understood


    all tog-well how much men caréd


    abaut a woman''s virginity, so''that


    night she paid a town''s resident to


    find a virgin to be sent to that room.


    She waited until the girl had left before going in to create the illusion that it was her that night.


    "Buy some more if you like the clothes here." Hugo rubbed her hair and said dotingly.


    "That is the VIP room, you are not allowed to enter, please go to the one on the right." The shop assistant reminded Lindsay.


    In such a high-end clothing shop, the


    fitting rooms were all separate <>


    rooms, and those for VIPs were-even


    more-upscale, with an inner room


    for tying on clothes and an outer


    roam for friends to wait or. fest.

    "Oh." Lindsay took the clothes and walked towards the room on the right.


    Changing clothes in the fitting room, Lindsay was still thinking about the man and woman just now, they seemed to mention the Forrest family.


    Was it possible that the man......?
