Torn Between Love and Hate

Chapter 66

Back then, Deborah’s mother, Lydia, approached Devon deliberately

But Devon had a noble family background, so he dumped Lydia who was pregnant.

Later, after Lydia gave birth to Deborah, she married Simon Levin, a wealthy gambler.

Later, Simon lost all his money, started using drugs, and committed suicide in this house in front of

Deborah

In this house, Deborah stayed with his body for a day and two nights and watched his body grow

maggots.

The police found his body later

Deborah suffered from autism because of this, and she never dared to think about what had happened

in this place.

Deborah’s hand on the edge of the seat trembled slightly, and she forced a smile. “Nina, you have a lot

of nerve. Aren’t you afraid tha Ashton will come looking for me and know that you left me here?”

Nina looked at her in surprise. “Ms. Shepherd, didn’t you hear that I answered Mr. Mullen’s call on the

way here? It’s Mr. Mullen’s orde I wouldn’t dare to do it without his permission.”

Deborah grasped the seat firmly, calmed down slowly, opened the door, and got out of the car.

She also smiled. “Oh, then thank him for me.”

When she got out of the car, Nina opened the car window and told her, “Mr. Mullen also said that you

must live well in this house. Otherwise, he will send your mother’s body over and let her accompany

you. I believe he meant it.”

After that, Nina drove away.

Deborah stood outside the iron gate. The house had been empty for so long that there were vines and

dead branches everywhere.

Her face was a little pale. All of those old memories came flooding back, and she slowly squatted

down.

She received a message from Joseph: [Are you coming today?]

The latest one if you don’t come now, you won’t need to come today |

Thinking of Alyssa Deborah gathered herself and replied to the message meeming now |

There was a buzzing in her head. And when Deborah looked up, Simon’s body appeared everywhere.

She saw blood everywher

When she got up her legs were trembling

But she only knew that she had to see Alyssa now, So she could feel at ease

The location here was very remote, but at least it was where she once lived, so Deborah was not so

unfamiliar with the road

conditions

Walking along the deserted road until it was almost dark, she caught a taxi and went to Joseph’s villa

Along the way, her heart was beating violently And Deborah felt that because the learned Alyssa was

alive, Deborah also gained a

new life

Thinking of seeing Alyssa soon, Deborah was so nervous that her palms were wet

Deborah looked out through the wrought iron gate when she arrived outside the villa. The front yard

was quiet, and there was no one.

Deborah rang the doorbell, and soon a servant came out

Seeing Deborah standing outside, the servant seemed to know her. He opened the door politely and

said, “Ms. Shepherd, please

come with me

Deborah immediately followed and walked inside. Her heart was beating violently. Deborah wondered if

Alyssa would suddenly rush out from inside and throw herself into Deborah’s arms.

It had been a month or so since the vehicle fell off the cliff.

But until the servant led Deborah to the living room, Deborah still didn’t see Alyssa

Joseph calmly sat on the sofa and looked at the computer. He noticed that Deborah had arrived, and

his expression didn’t change

much. He didn’t mean to get up and tell Deborah where Alyssa was.

Deborah began to feel a little disappointed. She asked anxiously, “Mr. Black, where is Alyssa?”

Joseph responded, “You came late. She has already gone abroad with the medical team for treatment.

The departure time had already

been set, and they left about half an hour ago.”

His words extinguished Deborah’s hopes. “Has gone abroad? So she’s headed to the airport now? Is it

still time for me to go and meet

her?”

Joseph said quietly. “They left on a private jet. And they’re in the air now. What do you think?”

Deborah’s face was gloomy. But she still had doubts about Joseph’s words. “You asked me to come

and see Alyssa. Why are they suddenly in such a hurry to go abroad?”

Joseph raised his wrist to check the time. “It’s ten past eight in the evening. Almost three hours have

passed since I sent you messages.

“What you said was you were coming now. I don’t think you will come after so much time has passed.”

Deborah wanted to explain that it was inconvenient for her to come here just now. She had walked a

long way, taken a taxi, and got

stuck in traffic

Then she realized that there was no point in explaining this.

She was silent for a long time before she spoke again, “Can I call her and listen to her voice?

Joseph answered without any hesitation, “No”

“Why?” Deborah frowned

Joseph finally put down the documents in hand and looked at her sideways. “Ms. Shepherd, you should

be clear that I am a businessman like to talk about deals, not charity”

This was quite clear, and Deborah understood. I see What should I do to hear Alyssa’s voice and see

her?”

Joseph signaled to the sola opposite. “Don’t stand. Sit down.”

Deborah stood still without moving for a while.

Joseph could feel her gaze on him. It was a weird feeling.

He felt as if something heavy was pressing on him, making him a little breathless, and his irritability

deepened.

Deborah looked at Joseph for a long while and asked him, “Mr. Black, is my Alyssa really still alive?”

Joseph didn’t answer. Deborah said softly. “If you want to use me to deal with Ashton, I can promise

you. But please don’t lie to me with Alyssa, and don’t give me any hope I shouldn’t have.”

Joseph still didn’t speak And Shawn on the side said, ‘Sir, Dr. Locke called and said that Alyssa’s

condition on the plane has stabilized, and the hospital abroad has also been contacted. He said you

and Mrs. Mullen don’t worry.”

Deborah didn’t seem to hear anything. She just looked at Joseph, waiting for his answer.

Joseph finally nodded. “I didn’t lie to you. Alyssa is still alive.”

Deborah’s complexion relaxed for a moment. She felt that Joseph’s eyes were not lying.

Her voice was sincere and excited. “Thank you.”

Joseph said again, “Sit.”

Deborah sat down on the sofa opposite him. Joseph cut to the chase, “Ms. Shepherd, listen to my

conditions first.

“Before I let you see your daughter, you need to enter the Mullen Group, go to Ashton, and get what I

need.

“I also want some things in Mullen Manor and Wayne’s residence. When the time is right, I will let you

get them.”

Deborah was sjúnned for a while, then said cautiously, “Mr. Black, I can’t get in the Mullen Group. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ashton attaches great importance to

business. Even Helen has never entered the Mullen Group building.

“As for Mullen Manor, the Mullen family don’t like me. I have only been there once after marrying

Ashton for so many years. As for

Wayne, I don’t even know where he lives.”

Joseph was not surprised by her answer, and his tone was still calm. “Mrs. Mullen, I’m just negotiating

a deal with you and giving me the conditions for you to see Alyssa.

“Of course, you can refuse. You can get up and leave now. Let’s just pretend we never talked about it.”

His voice was cold. Obviously, he didn’t intend to give her room to bargain.

Deborah remembered walking in on Helen stealing documents from Ashton’s study.

Sear

W Deborah guessed correctly, Helen had also been instructed by Joseph.

Deborah was a little confused, so she asked directly, ‘Did you ask me and Helen to work for you at the

same time, Mr. Black?”

Joseph didn’t hide it “Helen doesn’t seem smart, and she can’t get what I want I plan to ask her to do

something else. I think maybe you can not let me down.”

Deborah asked, “If I refuse, will I still have a chance to meet Alyssa?”

Joseph looked at Deborah with a smile. “Of course, no chance.

Deborah didn’t hesitate and nodded. “Okay, I promise you.”

Joseph was satisfied. He got the answer he wanted, and his sympathy for Deborah no longer existed.

Joseph stretched out his right hand towards Deborah. “Then I wish us a happy cooperation, Mrs.

Mullen.”

Deborah stretched out her hand and shook his lightly.

But at that moment, her eyes were attracted by Joseph’s left wrist.

“Mr. Black, can I ask you how you got that scar on your wrist?”
