With a bang, the door of the conference room was slammed open, and Kristine Devine walked out quickly from inside.
Someone hurriedly chased after her and said, "Second Miss, you're the only one in the entire Lawrence family who hasn't signed. Sir means..."
Kristine Devine said stubbornly, "As I said, the Orchid Garden is the last thing my mother left for me. If you want me to sign it, you can wait for me to die."
"But Mr. Sam is determined to get the project of the Orchid Garden. If you insist, you will offend the Sam family in the end. It will not benefit you and the Lawrence family."
Kristine Devine took out his mobile phone and dialed Sam Maxwell's number, but the other party did not answer.
She dialed Assistant Xerox's number.
After the phone was connected, Kristine Devine tried his best to suppress his anger. "Get Sam Maxwell to answer the phone."
"Miss Lawrence, Mr. Sam is in a meeting and can't get away. However, he told me that if you call me, let me tell you that what he said before is still valid."
Sam Maxwell's words echoed in Kristine Devine's mind. "Hand over the Orchid Garden and cancel the engagement. I can help you cover up your scandal and no longer ask who the man who cheated on me is. Otherwise, you have to bear the consequences."
He had to take responsibility for the consequences.
What a heartless man.
"Tell Sam Maxwell that if he wants to break off the engagement, I will accompany him. If he wants to humiliate me, you can do whatever you want. But if he wants the Orchid Garden, he doesn't deserve it."
She put away her anger and hung up the phone.
Sam Maxwell, you've gone too far.
No matter how arrogant you are now, I will make you embarrassed in the future.
She picked up the phone again and dialed another number.
Soon, the phone was connected.
Kristine Devine's voice was neither light nor light. "Monkey, it's me. Tell the old man that I'll agree to his conditions."
A startled male voice came from the other end of the phone. "Are you crazy? Didn't you just refuse a few days ago?"
"I regret it."
"What the hell are you regretting? Everyone in the world knows that the young master of the family is sinister and cruel. He's an inhuman pervert. Who knows what the old master of the family wants you to marry his grandson for? I think if you're not crazy, you'll be possessed by a ghost."
Kristine Devine's face was bright and clear, and he had never been more sober than at this moment.
Not to mention being possessed by a ghost, even if she was possessed by Spirit, she would marry this Tristan Herdezn.
Because the Herdezn family was her last hope of keeping the Orchid Garden.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, in the living room of the villa in Garden No.1 of Jintai Road.
Kristine Devine was sitting on the sofa, holding the carved orchid cup in his hand.
She hadn't touched a single drop of tea for two whole hours.
The door of the entrance was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
A young man with a slightly pale face and a tall figure came in.
Judging from his appearance alone, this person seemed to have walked out of the painting... He was an elegant scholar, which was not suitable for the maliciousness in the rumors at all.
Kristine Devine put down his teacup, stood up, and nodded respectfully to the man. "Mr. Herdezn."
Herdezn Bill looked at the woman in front of him. She was delicate, petite, and the skin on her face was as white as cream. Her appearance... was just as the old man had said. It was not an exaggeration to describe her as a country-toppling beauty.
"Kristine Devine?"
Kristine Devine nodded. "Yes."
Herdezn Bill walked to the sofa a little far away from Kristine Devine and sat down. "Sit down."
Kristine Devine sat down again, feeling a little nervous.
"Are you really going to marry me?" asked Herdezn Bill indifferentl?.
Kristine Devine answered in a deep voice, "Yes."
"How much do you know about me?"
Kristine Devine looked at him, a little embarrassed.
Her understanding of him was truly...
Herdezn Bill's posture was elegant, and his voice was soft. "Sly, irritable, vicious, perverted, gay. Is there anything else?"
Kristine Devine thought to himself, "What kind of a way is this?"
"Mr. Herdezn, before this, I didn't know you, so the rumors in the outside world were all the way I knew about you. But I knew that rumors hurt people, so I never believed in rumors."
This answer surprised him.
The corners of his lips curled into a smile. "If you marry me, I won't love you, nor will I touch you. I won't allow you to betray me. Even so, you still want to marry me?"
Kristine Devine couldn't wait to marry her. "Get married."
"Ha, you're brave." After saying that, he stood up and said, "Come with me."
Seeing him walking to the door, Lawrence Hank was confused and stood up to follow him.
Herdezn Bill took her to the backyard and opened the basement door.
The light suddenly disappeared. In the dim environment, Kristine Devine's eyes suddenly became gray.
She raised her hand to touch the wall on the side, stepped on nothing, and threw herself forward.
"Ah," she exclaimed.
Hearing his voice, Herdezn Bill turned around.
Kristine Devine threw himself straight into his arms and was caught firmly by Herdezn Bill.
For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to have solidified.
Kristine Devine could feel the stiffness of Mira Barry in front of him.
In her mind, she suddenly remembered what the man had said. "He has a habit of cleanliness in contact with women. So, without his permission, don't touch his body without permission, even a hair. The consequences are very serious. You must remember."
Kristine Devine stepped back in a panic and fell on the steps.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Herdezn. I'm really sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. I had congenital night blindness. Just now, when the environment was dark, I was in a mess. I..."
While she was still explaining to herself, the man in front of her suddenly turned on the light.
At the moment when her eyes became bright again, Kristine Devine closed his eyes and opened them again. When he saw the decoration in the basement, she almost screamed.
"Do you still want to marry me after seeing all this?" asked Herdezn Bill indifferentl?.
