Chapter 7 She Will Suffer a Lot
John looked up at the woman in the corner. The light in the room was a little dim. Gwenyth was almost sitting in the darkness, with only a small beam of light shining on her side face.
Her nose was delicate and small, but very straight, and the outline of her side face looked perfect in that beam of light.
"What's your relationship with Eddie?" John asked.
Gwenyth glanced at him. When she was still thinking about how to answer this question, the door of the private room was pushed open.
Edison came in.
He wore a black shirt and black pants, with the sleeves of his shirt rolled up casually, revealing his strong wrists. The watch on his wrist was worth millions of dollars, and the clothes he wore were all branded. Although he was in cold black, he didn't look low-key at all.
"Eddie, the person waiting for you is over there." John raised his chin at Gwenyth.
Edison just glanced in that direction and sat on the sofa. He took out a gold-plated cigarette box from his pocket, opened it, and took out a cigarette.
Then he fiddled with his platinum lighter. Instead of lighting the cigarette, he looked at the corner. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Come and sit here!" Edison said.
Gwenyth stood up and sat next to him, keeping a slight distance from him.
Edison frowned. He lit the cigarette and put his arm around Gwenyth's shoulders.
With great might, he held Gwenyth into his arms and slowly exhaled some smoke. He then raised his eyebrows and smiled at John. "Let me introduce my girlfriend, Gwenyth Lovelace."
"What did you say?" John exclaimed.
"Go and cure yourself if you are deaf," said Edison.
It was known to all that Edison's girlfriend was Nancy. After all, it had been a trending topic for several days.
John asked in confusion, "How many girlfriends do you have?"
"You're really ill-informed."
Edison hinted for John to check his phone.
John picked up his cell phone and opened Twitter. He found that a few hours ago, Edison had posted something and mentioned Nancy, saying that they had broken up.
After Gwenyth signed the agreement, the news of Edison and Nancy's breaking up news was immediately released.
It caused an uproar on Twitter.
Nancy had been calling Edison. However, Edison just silenced his phone and ignored her no matter how many calls she made or how many messages she sent.
"Really?" John asked in disbelief.
"Sure," said Edison.
Nancy's fame suddenly soared, and she became famous just because her relationship with him was known to the public.
Edison had already sent someone to investigate it and found out that Nancy was behind all this.
She was using him to get fame and resources.
After that, she even refused his proposal.
Edison believed that she was simply regarding him as a pushover.
"You like Nancy, don't you?" John was even more confused.
Edison covered Gwenyth's ears with his warm hands and said, "Mr. Hawe, it's inappropriate to say that in front of my current girlfriend, isn't it?"
Although her ears were covered, Gwenyth could still hear Edison's voice.
She was taken aback and didn't know how to react.
Nancy and Edison had been in love for three years. It was impossible for them not to like each other.
Edison was a picky man. Since Nancy could become his girlfriend, she could, of course, attract him with something.
"You just broke up and now you have a new girlfriend?" Edison changed his girlfriend so fast that it was just so astonishing.
John felt too embarrassed to continue. He smiled thoughtfully and changed the topic. "Since you have broken up with Nancy and she is single now, is it okay for me to chase her?"
"You?" Edison found it funny and said, "You can have a try."
"I will just give it a try." John opened the contact list and dialed Nancy's number.
As soon as the call went through, John told Nancy what had happened to Edison in the Nightcharm club and that Edison had a new girlfriend.
Gwenyth listened quietly without showing any expressions on her face, but she began to panic.
She thought to herself, "Is Mr. Hawe stirring up trouble? How could he invite Nancy here?"
Edison smoked silently and let John and Nancy talk on the phone as if he just wanted to get into trouble.
Gwenyth felt a headache.
Before signing the agreements, she had expected that Edison wanted to use her to irritate Nancy and force that woman to give in and accept his proposal.
Andy had just prepared the agreements within twenty minutes. Obviously, Edison didn't do it not on a whim. He had planned it long ago.
Perhaps he had looked for another woman, but that day, Gwenyth happened to hear the conversation between him and Nancy in the hotel room and was involved in Edison's improvisational performance.
For Edison, Gwenyth became the best choice to be his girlfriend.
It was really not easy to make money. The title of Edison's current girlfriend would make Gwenyth suffer a lot.
She clutched her bag tightly, with sweat on her forehead.
"Is it hot?" Edison leaned closer to her, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "Do you know how to cooperate with me in a while?"
"Yes, I know," responded Gwenyth.
Edison stretched out his long arm and took a piece of tissue from the coffee table to wipe the sweat on her forehead before throwing it into the trash can. Then he immediately opened a bag of wet tissue on the coffee table and with the wet tissue, he repeatedly wiped the hand that had just wiped her sweat.
Gwenyth felt his disgust and smiled with self-mockery.
"Hmph! Does he think that I want to put on a show with him in such a place?" thought she.
Gwenyth was very uneasy, but when she thought of the 1.35 million, she had to grit her teeth and put up with it.
Since the agreements had been signed, she had to compensate Edison 2.7 million if she failed to put up with it.
No matter what, she had to hold on for three months.
She didn't want her family to be disturbed by those debt collectors again and again. She had had enough of the days of hiding.
Although autism could not be cured, her dear sister Susie's condition could be improved through active treatment and psychological guidance, coupled with some auxiliary medicine. Only with good treatment could Susie's level of knowledge and social adaptability be improved.
Gwenyth knew it was incurable. She didn't expect Susie to live like a normal person. She just wanted Susie's condition to get better so that Susie wouldn't be cursed as a fool anymore.
If the damned debt were not to be settled, their lives would never get better. With the debt, they were so poor that they couldn't even support themselves. How could they afford to treat Susie?
Gwenyth took a few deep breaths and tried to adjust her emotions, getting ready to face the big fight.
Staring at her serious face, Edison leaned over and rested his chin on her shoulder as he had just done. "What are you thinking about?"
His husky voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.
"I'm wondering if you can play the role of my boyfriend well and prevent me from being hit in a while," replied Gwenyth.
Edison smirked and said in a very low voice, "It depends on your performance."
John couldn't hear what they were talking about and thought they were flirting.
He checked the watch on his wrist again and again, calculating how long it would take for Nancy to come here.
When Nancy was about to arrive, John asked the other two women to leave the room and asked the waiter to take the two women's glasses away.
"The more you try to hide, the more easily you will be discovered." Edison showed his contempt for John.
Instead of getting angry, John smirked and said, "Since I want to pursue Nancy, I can't leave a bad impression on her, can I?"
"It's known to all that you're a playful man who changes girlfriends like changing clothes," retorted Edison.
"That's just my legend," John said.
"What a coincidence! Nancy told me the legend," teased Edison.
John's mouth twitched, and he was lost for words for a moment.
To hide his embarrassment, he quickly picked up a glass of wine and gulped it down.
As soon as the glass was put down, the door of the private room was banged open.
