Chapter 23 He was put into prison
"Darling, why don't you speak? Hm?" John smiles, something flashing in his eyes. He reaches out and
tries to grab Lily's arm again.
But an accident happens.
A strong arm appears on Lily's shoulder. The man stands beside her is tall and handsome, as if
protecting her. He asks calmly and indifferently, "She is my friend. What’s up?"
Louis looks at the woman with the corner of his eyes. He could feel her shake and scare.
Does she fear the man in front of her?
"Oh, Mr. Louis." John recognizes Louis, and his slender fingers pushes the glasses on the bridge of his
nose, "Nice to meet you. I am John."
"Nice to meet you." Since the other man knows himself, Louis shakes hands with him out of polite.
John looks at Lily dumbfounded and apologizes, "I haven't seen my darling for two years. I didn’t
expect to meet her here. I just want to say hello, but it seems that she is scare."
Finally, he also asks about the relationship between Louis and Lily.
Louis knows that they must know each other before. When he wants to say something, Lily drags his
shirt, looks at him like begging, and her voice is trembling, "Go... take me away…"
"Sorry, my friend is not feeling well." Thinking of the cooperation which needs Lily's help, and looking at
her terrified look, Louis hugs her away.
Lily's body is soft and weak, almost dragged by Louis, and she is so scared. Louis simply hugs her up
and strides out of the revolving door.
Behind them, John is still standing there, gentle and elegant, and he always wears a smile on his face.
Two years later, he finally finds her.
Thinking that Lily’s eyes just now, which are fear and timid, John is happy. This is what he likes. He
likes her being weak, and could not run away even if she wants to.
Very funny.
"Mr. John." The female companion who has been waiting for him for a long time approaches him. She
holds John’s hand, and she puckers her lips when she sees the man's eyes are still looking at the exit.
The female companion says jealously, "She’s just a pretty-looking woman. Why should Mr. John not
forget her? I am not only beautiful, but also behave better than her!"
"What did you just say?" John turns to look at her, and his tone is very warm.
He seems elegant, but the violence that appears in his eyes makes the female partner tremble and
subconsciously steps back. Before she takes two steps, he grips her jaw with his hand.
The female partner almost screams.
"What do you think are? You dare to compare yourself with her?" John pinches harder her chin, almost
crushing the jaw of his female companion. "She is not only beautiful, but also smart, and worth a billion
dollars. And you are just a stupid woman!"
The female partner could hardly breathe and her legs are shaking, "Mr. John..."
"Go back to Sweden. Don't follow me anymore." John throw her off, and leaves the hotel lobby without
looking back. The female partner falls down on the ground with regret.
It's over. It's all over!
Over there, Louis takes Lily into his car, but Lily is still in a maze. Her shoulders shaking, and she
seems to be deeply in fear. Louis rubs his brows.
He knows that John's family background is not simple.
How did Lily know that kind of person?
"Lily, recollect your mind." Louis pats Lily twice with his hands and says in a deep voice, "We are not in
the hotel, and he is not here anymore. You don't have to be afraid."
Lily raises her head, her eyes gradually focused.
She finds herself in the car, with only Louis around, and the suffocation in her heart slowly disappears.
Lily takes the water Louis hands her and takes a sip, feeling more comfortable. Louis is sitting on the
side with his legs crossed, and he takes out the phone to reply an important text message.
"That man is my...ex-boyfriend." After hesitating again, Lily says, "I studied abroad a few years ago and
met him. You also know his name." NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
"Go on." Louis looks calm, expressing his willingness to listen.
Lily purses her lips, "At first we were sweet, but one day we went out. He seemed to change into
another man and wanted to rape me and kill me…I escaped and called the police. "
She knows that John's family is rich, and his family members are in the rich circle in Sweden. He could
escape that kind of crime by some connection, and she did not harbor hope.
But she didn't expect that John readily accepted the one-year prison sentence. When he was taken by
the police and passed by her, his tone was still so elegant, asking her to wait for him.
After John went to jail, Lily nightmares for a week. She was afraid that John would retaliate against her,
so she quickly returned back. She changed her name and even accepted Jason's pursuit, just to forget
this thing.
Unexpectedly, after three years, John comes here.
At that moment when John called her, she was petrified and she was almost breathless. If Louis did not
appear and saved her, she didn't know how bad the things were.
"Do you think he comes here to find you?" Louis glances at Lily. He finds out that she has a sexual
disorder. Unexpectedly, it is caused by such an accident.
This woman is also very pitiful.
"His family's business is mainly in Europe, and there is very little involved in Asia." Lily nods hesitantly,
"I don't know why he comes here, but I feel very uncomfortable."
"That John seems to have a strong desire for control." Louis analyzes, "You are uncomfortable,
because you are afraid that he will do anything he wants here and takes you away."
After a pause, the man smiles playfully, "Miss Lily, you just need to help me with a cooperation abroad,
but now you need me to help you get rid of your ex-boyfriend. This deal is not cost-effective."
"Whether it is cost-effective. I believe Louis… Mr. Louis knows it." Lily shouts subconsciously, looks at
the man, and changes her remarks. Her heart beats quickly.
Louis just touches his chin with his hand and doesn't blame her.
Lily is relaxed, "Mr. Louis, I know that cooperation is not easy to reach, otherwise you won't figure out
so many ways to get me. I will help you negotiate a business and you will protect me for a month."
"Just a month?"
"Yes, one month." Before she could not find a good place, she has to stay in Smith's and does not want
to have a quarrel with Louis, "After the business is over, we will be separated. What do you think?"
"You know that John knows the Smith Family, and he dares not go against with me, right?" Louis finds
it a little bit interested. The woman is smarter than he thinks. "You can arrange many things in a
month."
Lily doesn't say anything, so she might agree with what Louis said.
Of course, the Smith business is very strong internationally, and the business is extensive. John is also
a businessman., and if he knows that Lily is helping Louis with something, John might not act willingly.
She is betting.
Louis needs her help, and she takes advantage of the Smith's reputation to protect herself.
Louis only plays with that phone, but he doesn't speak for a long time. Lily guesses that he is analyzing
the pros and cons of this cooperation, and she is inevitably nervous and clenches her hands.
"I agree with you, but Miss Lily, you owe me a favor." Louis says slowly, "I thought that we have settled
things down after you received the room card."
