The Day of Choosing a Wife Chapter 9

The next morning, I touched the soft person in my arms, instantly opened my eyes, and sat up abruptly from the bed.

The room was in complete disarray.

Yesterday from the car... then back home...

I heavily patted my head, then looked down at Gina.

She had also opened her eyes, but her first words were, "You seem somewhat surprised!"

I nodded.

"I... always thought you... weren't interested in that."

After all, in my previous life, she had never touched Ryan, nor had any ambiguity with other men. Her eyes were full of work.

Gina suddenly laughed, her hand climbing up to my neck.

"With someone you love, of course it's different!"

As she spoke, she pressed closer again.

Early in the morning, the fire was indeed quite vigorous.

We were intimate all day. In the evening, my parents came over.

They came crying for help.

They talked about Susan's domestic violence toward Ryan.

"Clayton, you don't know how serious your brother's leg condition is now. The doctor says he'll be in a wheelchair for life."

I sneered coldly. How could I not know?

What Ryan was experiencing now was far less than one ten-thousandth of what I went through.

"Ryan is already married to Susan. This is between husband and wife. How can we outsiders interfere? Besides, the Cole family... is so powerful and influential. Ryan at least has food and clothing!"

My parents were shocked by my words.

"But if you really want to save him, there is one way!"

I told them that Susan was currently negotiating financing with Mr. Zhao.

"If you can help her secure it, Susan will definitely let Ryan go for your sake!"

My parents looked troubled.

"But we don't know Mr. Zhao!"

"That's what I'm here for. I'll help you."

Following my arrangements, they successfully intercepted and met Mr. Zhao.

But my parents came to me furiously and cursed me out.

"What kind of terrible idea was that? Now Susan is taking all her anger out on Ryan."

I smiled.

"Why are you anxious? Doesn't this prove that Susan really values Mr. Zhao as a client?"

I had my parents go to Susan again.

"Tell her you can help her close the deal, as long as she lets Ryan go!"

They did just that.

Sure enough, it worked.

Susan promised them that after the deal was done, she would divorce Ryan and let him go.

My parents, desperate to save their son, didn't think about anything else. Whatever Mr. Zhao told them to do, they immediately did.

Before they knew it, their entire fortune had been drained.

As for the final result.

The collaboration naturally wouldn't succeed, because I had already partnered with Mr. Zhao.

All of this was a performance that Mr. Zhao helped me put on.

The day Mr. Zhao flew abroad, I personally saw him off at the airport.

When my parents realized something was wrong, they were already living on the streets.

They cursed and swore as they ran to the Yates residence.

"Clayton Bennett, come out! You're the one who ruined us, aren't you? You unfilial son, actually scheming against your own biological parents!"

"Are you even human!"

I stood upstairs watching them like clowns.

"Whether I'm human or not, don't you know?"
