Chapter 214
Into the night, in the lobby of an upscale bar.
Wang Boyce surveyed the still poised Sasha across from him, then tilted his head and took a sip from his glass of beer, not bothering to pay her any mind.
Sasha wasn’t offended, and smiled broadly, “Mr. Wang is here alone, drinking booze? It’s not like your style.”
“It’s good to be alone once in a while, aren’t you? How come you’re alone too?”
“Me? How dare I stay in the lobby in my position, I have friends in my box, but I just happened to see you so I came over to keep you company.”
“Yeah? Then have a drink with me?” Wang Boyce lifted the glass in his hand.
Sasha whirled around and sat on his lap smiling with style, “Me, I’m going to drink only cross-cocktails.”
Wang Boyce looked at her.
“What? Don’t want to?”
“Of course I do.” Wang Boyce put his arm around her slender waist and smiled lightly, “A woman as beautiful as Miss Ho can’t get enough of it once, and can’t get enough of it a few more times, and any man would love it.”
“What about you?”
“Me? What does it matter if a dying man likes it or not?”
“Boyce …” Sasha moved and climbed his hands on his neck with an apologetic face, “I’m sorry, I only recently found out about it, I was shocked and sad to hear it at the time, I was really angry that day before I said it, I … actually love you very much and can’t let you go.”
“I understand, and I don’t blame you.”
“Really?”
“Sure.” Wang Boyce shook his glass at her, “Here, say hello to a toast.”
Sasha tilted her small face slightly and stared at him with begging eyes, “Boyce, let me stay with you during these last days, okay?”
Wang Boyce smiled ruefully.
Why wasn’t Yang June the one who said that?
“Thank you, you’ll find a good man.” Wang Boyce said.
“You know full well that you’re the only one I love.” Sasha clasped the small hand holding the glass into the crook of his arm, tilted her head, and took a sip of her beer.
The liquor slid down her throat, bitter and spicy right to the pit of her stomach, and she, who had always been able to drink, actually had her stomach flip up at the taste.
She quickly let go of Wang Boyce and twisted to her side to dry heave.
Wang Boyce sized her up and asked, “What’s wrong? Pregnant?”
At the word, Sasha instantly shuddered and twisted her head around to stare at him in dismay.
Pregnant? That’s a word she could never have imagined anyway!
These days she was prone to regurgitation, she had no appetite for any food, and her period had not been coming, was she really pregnant?
“Sasha, are you really pregnant?” Judy, who ran out of the private room to look for her, saw Sasha throwing up so hard, and hearing Wang Boyce ask that, she immediately rushed up to hold her body.
“No! Get out of my way!” Sasha shoved him away from her in disgust.
Judy stole a glance at Wang Boyce and deliberately blurted out, “Sasha, don’t be like that, this baby is mine and I will be responsible for him.”
“Judy, shut the fuck up! Who are you to say such things to me?” Sasha drew a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth clean and turned to Wang Boyce in an emotional manner, “Boyce, don’t listen to his nonsense, I’m … with him.”
“That’s for you two to know, I’m not interested in knowing.” Wang Boyce gave the pair a small smile and got up to head for the bar door.
“Boyce …” Sasha scrambled after him, wrapping her arms around him and explaining, “He and I only had drunken sex once, don’t get me wrong.”
“Sasha, I didn’t misunderstand and I’m not qualified to misunderstand, it’s not a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship between me and you, much less a lover relationship, whatever you do has nothing to do with me, does it?”
“Didn’t we agree that the rest of your days would be mine?”
Wang Boyce patted her on the shoulder, “Good girl, stop it and go home and settle down.”
Wang Boyce was just about to leave when a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, “Don’t help me, I can walk … by myself.”
He turned back in surprise, and in the dim light, he could see at a glance that Yang June was being held in a man’s arms as she staggered this way, obviously drunk. And the man holding her was none other than An Chen of An’s group.
His face instantly flushed with annoyance as he rushed up and yanked her out of An Chen’s arms.
Yang June was suddenly yanked by someone, and I don t know who it was, lying in his arms and cheekily yelling like a fool, “You guys let me drink, I am happy, I am happy …”
An Chen looked at Yang June and then Wang Boyce, when he came into contact with Wang Boyce’s harsh and warning gaze, he was busy hemming and hawing, “June is so happy about something lately, and she even had to buy us drinks, er … since Mr. Wang you’re here, then I’ll leave her to you, bye!”
An Chen turned and fled back to his private room after he finished speaking.
Jealous men are scary, and he’s not going to have nothing to do with it.
Wang Boyce looked at the half-asleep Yang June in his arms, of course he knew why she was so happy lately, because her world was finally going to clear up and she would never have to see him again.
“Boyce, didn’t you say how much more innocent she was? Still not involved with other men?” Sasha cast a glance at Yang June and mocked without missing a beat.
Wang Boyce gave her a look, a question he’d been reflecting on lately as well, as he didn’t understand what else this woman really had to offer that was worth keeping to himself.
No lingering, he could go easier couldn’t he?
Yang June heard Sasha’s voice and became slightly more conscious, and after surveying her with a dazed gaze, she aimed a finger at the tip of her nose and snapped, “Aren’t you … the big star? What are you doing here … trying to steal my husband again?”
With that, she withdrew her arm to climb up Wang Boyce’s neck and yes cooed as she wrapped her arms around him, “Boyce is mine and no one is going to take it away from me, Boyce is mine …”
Her voice was getting lower and lower, and the next moment she was asleep again.
Listening to her domineering proclamation, Wang Boyce’s heart was filled with mixed feelings, they say that wine spits out the truth, is this woman spitting out the truth?
Wang Boyce gazed at her quiet, sleeping face and picked her up with a helpless sigh before heading for the door.
Yang June was quiet the whole way, but when she got off the bus, her stomach suddenly turned upside down from all the shaking.
“Unbearable!” Yang June whimpered, flopping down next to the car and throwing up in a fit of vomit.
“Ugh, Miss, why are you so drunk?” As soon as Aimee came out, she saw her lady slumped on the car door throwing up, and was busy to welcome her and help her with Wang Boyce.
Yang June waved her hand at her with difficulty and fell back into Wang Boyce’s arms with an unsteady body.
Wang Boyce picked her up horizontally, as it were, and headed for the house.
As soon as Leng Qing Shu, who had purposely waited on the first floor, saw the two, he immediately stood up from the sofa and surveyed Yang June in Wang Boyce’s arms, his eyes grew cold: “What’s going on? She went out drinking?”
From a distance, she could smell a puff of alcohol.
“We drank together.” Wang Boyce looked askance at his mother and didn’t let that stop him.
Cold Clear yelled in exasperation as he glared at his back, “Boyce! Look at what you guys look like, like you’re living your lives?”
Wang Boyce had marched up to the second floor, ignoring his mother’s chatter as he had so many times.
He put Yang June on the big bed and drew warm water from the bathroom to wash her face and wipe her hands.
With the warm towel on her face, Yang June felt comfortable and in a daze, realizing that Maui was about to be taken away, she immediately grabbed Wang Boyce’s palm with a quick hand and cooed, “Don’t go …”
Wang Boyce froze for a moment and raised his hand to pat the back of hers, “Don’t worry … I’ll go get another tub of hot water.”
“No release …” Yang June opened her eyes slyly and smiled sweetly when she saw him, “Brother … how come you are here? Didn’t you go to drink with He Shasha …”
“No, you’re drunk, get some rest.”
“I’m not drunk … I clearly saw you with Shasha.” Yang June hiccuped, sized him up for a moment, and smiled at him once again, “Brother … that He Shasha looks prettier than me, but … she is not suitable for you, you later… . don’t go for her again, okay?”
“If not her, who? You?”
“Yes you can!” Yang June nodded desperately, “As long as brother doesn’t go to her … I can be by your side every day.”
Wang Boyce stared into her thin tear-filled eyes and his heart fluttered.
He grabbed her jaw with one hand, pinched her thin waist with the other, and spun around to crush her hard underneath him.
Yang June was instantly gagged by a hot, frantic kiss, and she struggled instinctively, but soon stopped moving, allowing him to lead her down the river of lust with him.
She knew it was him, so she stopped struggling.
Nor did she know when she had become accustomed to and had become enamored with him.
Maybe that’s the way relationships are, without moving on from one, you’ll never discover the excellence of the person who is silently by your side and thus miss out on so many happy times.
Wang Boyce was not the nicest person in the world, but the one who loved her the most and for the longest time in the world.
Yang Carina was shooting in the studio and during the interval she heard the economist say that Wang Boyce was waiting for her at the cafe downstairs, so she hurried to the cafe.
“Brother, what did you want to see me about?” Yang Carina walked over to sit on the couch across from her brother.
Wang Boyce surveyed the gorgeous sister in front of him and asked with a smile, “How’s the new role? Is it difficult?”
“It can be high, there are crying scenes almost every day.” Wang Boyce finished with a wrinkled nose before smiling happily again, “But the director said that it’s the way to highlight my acting skills more, and I still enjoyed the opportunity, thank you, brother.”
“Thanks for nothing, since you had to go down that road, I had to help you out.”
“Sorry about that, brother …” Yang Carina suddenly collapsed again.
The reason she hasn’t been popular over the years is because she doesn’t have enough backstage, has few opportunities to show her face, doesn’t like to hype herself and on the other hand, Wang Boyce is behind it.
Wang Boyce has never been supportive of her stepping into the entertainment industry like Sara Ho, and has tried many times to help her change careers to start her own business but she refused. It was only last month that he lost the battle and decided not to stop her from doing what she likes to do.
Not only did he not stop it, but he also used his connections with the film company to help her get several female roles at once.
Not only is Yang Carina’s schedule full these days, but her popularity is skyrocketing.
She knew of course that this was what her brother had arranged for himself at the end of his life, not just her, but everyone around him he had arranged for.
“Take care of yourself in the future and love yourself.” Wang Boyce patted her hand.
“I know, I’ll be sure to love myself and not be polluted by this big circle.”
“Well, that’s good.”
“By the way, brother, what’s the matter with you running up to me out of the blue?” Yang Carina asked as she scowled at him.
Wang Boyce smiled and hesitated for a moment before saying, “The thing is, the company’s previous patent battle with Rizzo France has never died down, and I wanted to head to Paris while I was still there to get things cleaned up so June wouldn’t be clueless when she took over the company later.”
“You mean you’re going to make a trip to Paris?”
“Well, it’s not a good thing to deal with, it might take some time.” Wang Boyce placed his palm over the back of Yang Carina’s hand and said grimly, “I don’t know if I’ll live to come back, so if I don’t, you take care of yourself and Mom.”
“Brother, you’ll be fine …” Yang Carina’s tears came down instantly at his words.
“Face it, Carina,” Wang Boyce smiled, “I don’t want to hold anyone accountable just because I don’t want to cause you unnecessary havoc, so you all be good.”
He had no evidence to hold Judy accountable, and even if he did, Judy would still get out after a few years in, and he feared that he would come out with a vengeance to hurt his family, especially to hurt Yang June.
“What about Yang June? You don’t really believe she’s capable of running the company, do you?”
“I’ve already said hello to Shen Ron, he’ll help keep an eye on it.”
Shen Ron had his own conglomerate, he didn’t have to worry that he would get greedy with The Yang Family, and he trusted Shen Ron as a person. Furthermore, Cheng Lydia loved her sister so much and would never let her get hurt.
“So when is brother planning to leave?”
“It should be the day after tomorrow, there’s a bit of personal stuff to take care of tomorrow.”
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
“No, you’re on a full schedule right now and I’ve got things to do that I can’t bring you with me.”
“I’ll wait for you at the hotel and promise not to disturb your work.” Yang Carina was almost begging, “Brother, just let me go, I don’t feel comfortable with you being alone.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not alone, Assistant Park and the R&D director will be coming with me.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Well then, I’ll drop you off the day after tomorrow.”
“No need.”
“Brother … are you even going to turn me down for this?”
Wang Boyce was silent for a moment and nodded, “Okay then.” After saying that, he raised his hand and touched her head, “Alright, stop crying and go get busy.”
“Bummer, I’m shooting a comedy sequence today, I’m sure I won’t be able to get a good shot later.” Yang Carina’s freshly wiped cheeks were soon wet with tears again, and her makeup was smudged on her face.
After a period of study, Yang June is familiar with the company’s business, but when it comes to work, she still has two heads.
It had been over an hour since she’d arrived at the office this morning, and she’d been studying last month’s financial statements, but had the feeling that she couldn’t get through them no matter how much she studied them.
She put down the report in defeat, swept a glance at the closed door of the president’s office, tugged Asistant Chen’s sleeve and asked, “Sister Chen, do you know why Mr. Wang didn’t come to work today?”
“I don’t know yet, I heard it was a bit personal.”
“What is it?” Yang June was surprised, how come she didn’t know what personal business Wang Boyce had been up to lately?
Asistant Chen shook her head, she didn’t know.
Asistant Chen, who was just about to put his head down and continue his work, suddenly saw someone was walking this way and was busy to greet him, “Mr. Zhu, what brings you back?”
Judy scanned Asistant Chen and then dropped her gaze on Yang June, walking towards her after a slight surprise.
“Why is Mrs. Wong at the office too?”
“Hello, I’m at work, may I ask what you’re looking for Mr. Wang?” For the person in front of her, although she didn’t know him, she more or less knew a little. She also knew that he was recommended into the company by Leng Qing Shu, and had just been fired by Wang Boyce last month.
What could be going on when a fired person comes running to the office?
I don’t think anything good is going to come of him, seeing as he looks like he’s hanging on by a thread.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Judy smiled, “It’s okay, I just haven’t been to the office for many days, so I wanted to come over to see if Mr. Wang is well.”
Yang June’s heart stuttered at his remark and she looked at him in surprise.
How did he know Wang Boyce’s meds were switched? Did he have something to do with it?
I guess so. Why else would Wang Boyce fire him if he was fine?
“What’s wrong Mrs. Wang? Mr. Wang isn’t feeling ill, is he? That’s why he didn’t come to work?” Judy was still smiling with a bad smile.
Yang June snapped back to her senses and tugged her lips at him with a rueful smile, “Yeah, what about it? I’m going to be a widow soon.”
“It’s okay, with your looks plenty of men want you, don’t rush.” Judy lifted her hand and patted her on the shoulder, sweeping a glance at Wang Boyce’s office once again, “Forget it, since Mr. Wang isn’t here, I’ll wait until he’s better.”
I originally wanted to come over and see how miserable Wang Boyce was, and to show him off his ironclad marriage to Sasha Ho, but I didn’t expect to be there.
He is now pregnant, and with Ho Cecil’s love for his daughter, he will not let her have an abortion. Not only did Ho Cecil not mention the abortion during these recent times, but he also approached him once for a long talk, asking him in detail about his feelings for He Shasha and his plans for the future.
What was such an obvious move, if not a marriage arrangement for him and He Sasha?
At last, he had the beauty and the company. If he could take down The Yang Family one day, his life would be perfect.
He was beautifully fantasizing about the good times to come when he had already gone down to the underground garage. Just as he reached the car, several strange men suddenly sprang out from inside the corner and pinned him to the ground with one hand.
Judy was horrified and twisted her head in an angry knot and asked, “What do you want? There’s a camera head in here.”
The opponents didn’t bother, and two of them held him down while the other moved quickly to take the pre-prepared knife from inside the bag and pick him a few times behind his feet.
A huge dream of pain hit him, and the pain made him howl loudly.
Several men, however, let go of him at this point, turned into an unmarked cart, and drove swiftly toward the exit.
After the small unmarked car left, a black Mercedes sedan came slowly from inside and pulled up beside him.
Judy instinctively waved at the owner of the Penske and called for help.
The window of the car slowly descended and Ho Cecil’s unfurled, sinister face appeared before him.
Judy froze.
I can’t believe it’s him …!
“Dare to subject my baby girl to an abortion, this is the price, enjoy being in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.” Ho Cecil spat out coldly before the car quickly left the underground garage.
Sitting in his wheelchair for the rest of his life, Judy was confused and stared blankly at the direction the car was leaving.
He thought Ho Cecil had accepted him and decided to marry his daughter, but he didn … t.
It was at this moment that he finally began to regret it.
Ho Cecil’s ruthlessness was so naive to imagine that he would accept him for the sake of his child when he had seen it when he was dealing with Wang Boyce in the first place.
It’s just a shame that regret is useless.
