Chapter 549: Chapter 491 A Useless Pawn
"Hello, nice to meet you. Harley didn’t tell me that you are going to get married, so I didn’t prepare a gift. When I come to visit Mrs. Timothy next time, I’ll get you a gift." Although Sylvia was jealous, she still spoke in a natural and graceful manner.
She acted as if she didn’t care at all.
Nina noticed that Sylvia had her eyes fixed on Harley. She had a doubt in her heart and intuitively felt that Sylvia liked Harley.
"It’s fine. They haven’t held the wedding yet." Carlee said slowly as she held Sylvia’s hand, "I remember when you played with Harley at my house when you were young, you said that you would marry Harley when you grew up."
In front of Nina, Carlee deliberately mentioned it.
"Mrs. Timothy, we were young back then." Sylvia blushed and said, "Harley and I have grown up."
Sylvia pretended to be innocent and kind as she looked at Harley.
When Harley saw his good friend whom he had not seen for many years, he recalled what happened when they were children and could not help but say, "Sylvia, you become shy easily just like when you were a child."
Sylvia, who was very scheming, saw Harley take the initiative to talk to her and immediately continued the topic. "Yes, Harley. Do you remember when we were young, we had a wedding in the garden? I used a mosquito net as a wedding dress. I held your arm and walked on the grass, and someone hummed a wedding song..."
Sylvia’s sweet smile bloomed on her face, pure and innocent.
"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Since you went to study abroad, we haven’t been in contact." Harley smiled and nodded.
Nina looked a little upset as she watched Harley and Sylvia chatting happily. She had missed out on so many of Harley’s life memories.
Carlee also noticed the upset on Nina’s face. She still smiled and said, "The two of you are still as close as when you were young. When you chat, you forget about everything and everyone else."
Sylvia was a little shy from being teased by Carlee. "Mrs. Timothy, don’t make fun of me. Harley will laugh at me again."
She secretly watched Nina’s reaction from time to time as she spoke.
Nina took a deep breath. "Harley, I don’t feel well. I’m going back to my room to rest."
With that, Nina stood up and went straight upstairs.
"Nina, are you alright?" Seeing that Nina’s expression was very bad, Harley hurriedly chased after her.
"Mrs. Timothy, did I say something wrong? Did I make Harley unhappy?" Sylvia’s gaze was fixed on Harley’s back. Seeing him so nervous about Nina, Sylvia was burning with flames of jealousy.
"No way!" Carlee was angry that Harley was so nervous about Nina. She sighed and said, "Nina doesn’t know any manners at all. How can she compare with you? It’s really a pity."
Carlee wondered if her son had gone crazy. Why would he like a woman that was several years older than him?
Moreover, Carlee heard that Nina had a boyfriend before. How could Nina compare to Sylvia?
...
After Ryleigh escaped from prison and was sent abroad by Adela, she rent a small apartment. Anyway, the money Adela gave her was enough for her to spend abroad for several years. She didn’t have to worry about paying her bills.
However, Murray and Melissa had both domestic and abroad attention. The fact that they were about to hold an engagement ceremony had also spread abroad and had been reported by the media.
Ryleigh was just casually browsing the social platforms on the Internet when she had nothing to do. But she found the news that Murray and Melissa were going to be engaged and suddenly felt bad. Why was Melissa still with Murray?
She should be the one with Murray!
Ryleigh pursed her lips. Her face darkened as she rolled her mouse continuously. When she saw the blessings of the netizens in the comments area, she became more and more upset. The vines of jealousy finally grew fast like crazy until they filled every part of her.
Her face darkened visibly. She almost subconsciously picked up the phone at hand and found Sebastian’s number in her contact list.
Murray had been haunting Ryleigh. As long as he and Melissa had a good day together, Ryleigh would be restless...
However, Ryleigh escaped from prison. It was impossible for Adela to help her return to the country. The only person who could help her was Sebastian.
Her fingers paused for three seconds. In the end, Ryleigh gritted her teeth and dialed Sebastian’s number.
After a while, Sebastian’s distant and polite voice sounded from the receiver. "Hello, who is this?"
Ryleigh took two deep breaths and mustered up her courage to say, "Hello, Sebastian... It’s me."
"Ryleigh?" After Sebastian heard the voice on the phone, he paused. The annoyance in his eyes was clear and there was also a bit of cold ridicule. Hadn’t she escaped from prison? He thought that Ryleigh would spend the rest of her life somewhere else without contacting anyone.
Sebastian gritted his teeth. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile. However, veins popped up on his forehead. He said in an impatient and mocking voice, "You’re still alive?"
Ryleigh pursed her lips. She suppressed her temper and softened her tone as she said carefully, "I called you to ask you to think of a way to help me return to Aldness. I want to go back."
"Aldness?" Sebastian’s voice suddenly rose a bit. Previously, he had been suppressing his ridicule, but now he had no intention to hide it. He felt that Ryleigh was simply crazy.
If he had not left fast enough at the so-called engagement ceremony and ordered someone to clean up everything related to the Gibson Group, he would have gone to prison with Ryleigh.
"Ryleigh, don’t you think it’s too late to say this?" Sebastian sneered. "What right do you have to negotiate with me now? You’d better not bother me. Otherwise, I don’t know if I will go to the police station to say something."
Sebastian was a cold and indifferent person. As a businessman, he only cared about profits and was good at satirizing.
Ryleigh was a useless pawn now. He had no patience for her and was about to hang up the phone after he finished speaking.
Unexpectedly, Ryleigh shouted, "Wait!"
"Do you have anything else to say?" Sebastian’s voice was as cold as a machine. He had no patience and was about to curse in the next second.
Ryleigh gritted her teeth. Her heart was thumping. She was nervous and angry. If Melissa and Murray engaged successfully, she would probably live like a walking corpse for the rest of her life!
Melissa!
Murray belonged to her, Ryleigh!
