She is still kneeling there, staring at the door in front of her and waiting for someone to open it for her.<\/p>\n<p>Lily hears footsteps and then sees a woman.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ms. Lily, it&#8217;s raining heavily. It will only make you sick.&#8221; Valentina says with pity, standing with an umbrella and looking at Lily who has been drenched in rain, &#8220;What can I do for you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Valentina?<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Valentina, Lily lowers her head and clenches her hands tightly.<\/p>\n<p>She feels as if a knife has been stabbed into her heart.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No need.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Valentina leaves and goes up the stairs.<\/p>\n<p>Lily tries not to think about her. However, Lily can&#8217;t help but raise her head when she hears the sound of the high heels stepping on the stairs.<\/p>\n<p>She sees Valentina put away her umbrella, walk to the door and ring the doorbell.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Don&#8217;t open the door!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Lily clenches her fists and can&#8217;t even feel the pain caused by her nails. She is unable to see clearly through the rain, but she still sees the door be opened and a tall man stands in front of Valentina.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Valentina, Louis frowns and says something.<\/p>\n<p>A few seconds later, he pulls the door open.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing that Valentina enters the house while Louis doesn&#8217;t even look at her and closes the door coldly, Lily feels as if cold winds chill to the bone.<\/p>\n<p>Lily purses her lips and tastes the salty rain. Her body starts to shake.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Silly me&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After entering the room, Valentina finds a pair of sandals at the entrance. Her eyes turn cold but she quickly regains her composure.<\/p>\n<p>She bends down to take off her high heels.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no need to change your shoes. Come in.&#8221; Louis glances at her and says, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have rules for guests.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Valentina pauses and nods.<\/p>\n<p>She walks barefoot and sees Louis make coffee. He is tall with broad shoulders and looks very charming.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;No one says no to a reliable man like Louis who is at high position with great wealth!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Valentina calms down and leans against the bar, asking Louis, &#8220;Didn&#8217;t you say that Mr. Daniel is in trouble? Why did you come back early?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t leave my company aside.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can help you, Louis.&#8221; Valentina stares at his slender and clean hands passionately.<\/p>\n<p>Louis laughs and refuses, &#8220;You are talented and promising. It is far below your talents for you to work in my company.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Valentina says calmly, &#8220;True talents can succeed anywhere and will not worry about the size of the company, as long as they can help their beloved ones. That&#8217;s enough.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Louis does not reply but hands her a cup of hot coffee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you.&#8221; Valentina still looks calm. She takes a sip of the coffee and asks, &#8220;Arabica, right? It tastes good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Louis lowers his head and looks at the coffee in his hand.<\/p>\n<p>After he bought the coffee machine, Lily has bought quite a few types of coffee beans.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing the rain outside and thinking of Lily who is still kneeling in the rain, Louis feels distracted, &#8220;Well, you can drink more if you like it. Now that you&#8217;re here, I&#8217;d like to talk to you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Valentina feels nervous as she looks at his cold eyes.<\/p>\n<p>They sit in the living room.<\/p>\n<p>Valentina likes his appearance, abilities and personalities.<\/p>\n<p>With the marriage with Louis and her family background, she would become the envy of everyone in the country!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Louis, marry me.&#8221; Valentina intimately approaches him. &#8220;Once you do, you can do anything you want. Nobody will stop you because they&#8217;re afraid of you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With a straight face, Louis looks at Valentina, who is wiggling her body on his lap.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ms. Hester, are you done?&#8221; asks Louis with a hint of mockery.<\/p>\n<p>Valentina is dumbfounded, and then her arm hurts.<\/p>\n<p>She is thrown onto the carpet on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Louis stands up from the sofa and buttons his shirt with one hand. He looks down at her condescendingly, &#8220;I don&#8217;t deserve the joy. Go find someone else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Louis!&#8221; Valentina doesn&#8217;t expect him to insult her this way, so she gets really annoyed.<\/p>\n<p>She has never been treated like this!<\/p>\n<p>Valentina looks up at him and threatens coldly, &#8220;Louis, if you don&#8217;t marry me, I will immediately ask my father to stop the cooperation with you. Then Daniel will die!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Give it a try. I wonder if your father cherishes his money or his daughter. Before breaking the contract, your father should think about whether your family can bear the consequences,&#8221; Louis says coldly.<\/p>\n<p>Valentina laughs, &#8220;Then why are you overwhelmed by the trouble of Daniel?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I am not in high place, but I have a lot of money.&#8221; Louis picks up the bag from the sofa and throws it at her. &#8220;No one hates money. It&#8217;s just a matter of the amount.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Valentina is sensitive and she immediately understands what Louis means.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that Louis hasn&#8217;t placed all his bets on her father. In fact, he has found others ways out.<\/p>\n<p>No wonder he is not afraid of her threat!<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, Rich runs over, wagging its tail and barking at Louis. Then it runs towards the door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2433","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
