Chapter 275 Another Bet
In Rexwell.
Ralph sat on a chair in the hall and looked at the photo of the woman on the wall in front of him quietly.
In the photo, half of the woman’s face was a huge red birthmark, and the other half had a scar on it.
There were black spots and red dots on her skin.
However, upon closer inspection, he found that her facial features were pretty similar to that woman.
Next to the photo was the information of the Head of the seminary.
She was born in Odense and was the daughter of a drunkard in the slums. She had always been poor.
Until half a year ago, she won the lottery.
Therefore, after playing the game for half a year, she wanted to make some contributions in society. Then, she came to Rexwell and opened a special seminary to teach women martial arts.
In the Rexwell House.
Ralph finished reading the documents and could not help but smile.
Half a year ago, he won the lottery?
Only she could think of such a strange reason.
“Mr. Chapman.”
The waiter of the seminary walked out of the room respectfully and looked at the man in front of him apologetically. “Director said that we don’t need any additional investment.”
“She has money.”
After that, the waiter smiled apologetically and said, “She said she didn’t want to see a businessman like you. She asked you to go back.”
Ralph smiled lightly. “Is that so?”
He leaned back and glanced indifferently at the waiter in front of him. “Since your director is a foreigner, I’ll give her a chance to turn over a new leaf and let her come out to see me.”
“Otherwise, you should know exactly what kind of existence I am in Rexwell.”
The waiter’s face turned pale.
She pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly. “Mr. Chapman, our director just wants to do something for the girls in Rexwell.”
“She only charges $1 in one class. The girls learned it here and didn’t spend less than $100. It’s already very cheap.”
“The director is doing public service. Isn’t it good for you to threaten a person doing public service like this to see you?”
Ralph smiled coldly.
“What if I really threaten her to come and see me?”
The man changed into a comfortable position and leaned against the chair. The smile on his lips was cold and indifferent. “I like to force others.”
The waiter, “…”
She took a deep breath and said, “Well, Mr. Chapman, please wait a minute.”
“I’ll tell the director.”
After that, the waiter strode away.
In the direction she went, Ralph saw a woman in white standing by the window with her back to him at the end of the corridor.
It seemed that she was looking at the scenery.
She seemed to be waiting for someone.
The waiter walked over and whispered something in the woman’s ear.
The woman paused before turning around and looking in Ralph’s direction.
Her face was uglier and scarier than her photo.
However, there was no shock or fear in Ralph’s eyes.
He looked at her with endless longing in his eyes.
He finally found her.
Although it was in this way, it turned out that she did not want to be too far away from him.
Otherwise, she would not have had to go to Rexwell to open this seminary under his influence.
But she didn’t want to be close to him anymore, so she forged the identity and opened the martial House.
He remembered that she once said that filming was not her dream, but a means of making a living.
She used to be with Luke Berry and Isobel Mitchell’s best friend, so she felt that she could get in touch with the filming industry, which was the easiest to make money.
So she chose to learn to perform and eventually became an actor.
Since being an actor was not what she wanted to do the most, now… The opening of the seminary should be her favorite thing, right?
While the man was in a daze, the woman had already walked up to him.
She deliberately lowered her voice, but she could still hear the voice of the past.
“Mr. Chapman.”
She looked at him with a smile. “My club has just opened for a week, and the turnover is very small.”
“A total of more than 30 students have come and earned more than $200…”
“I don’t understand. How can a president like you be interested in such a place that doesn’t make any money? Why must you invest in me?”
As they were getting closer, Ralph could clearly see the traces of makeup on the woman’s face.
Yes.
She used to be a temporary actress and had been immersed in the crew for a long time.
It was not difficult to find two friends who could make special makeup.
However, this kind of makeup could not be hidden from others.
But for him, who was very familiar with her, the flaw was obvious.
However, Ralph still pretended not to know her and laughed.
“Who said that I’m investing in the seminary because of money?”
“Since you didn’t open this seminary for money, why do you think I’m investing in you just to make money for you?”
Lottie frowned.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, who was obviously pestering her. “Mr. Chapman, can you tell me why you want to invest in me?”
Ralph gracefully crossed his legs and leaned against the sofa. “For my wife, Lottie.”
Lottie’s body suddenly stopped.
She took a slight step back, her eyes a little flustered, and even her voice was slightly trembling. “I… don’t quite understand what you mean.”
The man’s eyes were indifferent. “My wife is also a woman with high martial arts skills.”
He looked at the woman in front of him, and his eyes seemed to pass through her and go further away. “When she was with me in the past, I did many things that made her sad, causing her to leave me in the end.”
“I searched everywhere I could find, but I couldn’t find her…”
There was a touch of sadness in the man’s deep and magnetic voice.
Lottie’s hands silently formed a fist by her side.
She pursed her lips and her heart tightened slightly.
She did not expect that when she saw Ralph again, he would talk to her about this as soon as they met.
Elijah… Did he recognize her?
Or did he not recognize her at all?
“I hope she can live a good and happy life in a place I can’t see.”
With this, the man turned his eyes and looked at the ugly face of the woman in front of him seriously.
“I think if she comes to a place that she is not familiar with, if she settles down, she should want to open such a seminary.”
“That’s why I want to invest in the seminary. In order to help the girls in Rexwell defend themselves, I want to make a contribution.”
“In order to buy a peace of mind, I can lie to myself that my wife is living a good life outside.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Lottie pursed her lips and lowered her head. “Your wish is great, but…”
“I don’t really need it.”
As she spoke, she took a deep breath. “You must have seen my information, right?”
“I won a lottery half a year ago, so I’m not short of money.”
Ralph smiled, took out a black card, and put it on the table. “Then take it as another lottery.”
