Chapter 1097 He Is Responsible For Her Everything
Waverly spotted Agnes.
She was a beautiful girl from M Country.
Waverly had thought that Agnes would be a little girl like Hayley, but she was not.
She looked mature, sexy and capable, her eyes sharp but clear. She looked people straight in the eye and did not hide.
"How old are you?" Waverly asked.
She sized Waverly up, "I should be older than you. I'm 29 years old."
Waverly nodded, "You are older than me. Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No, I don't. For a person like me, It's better if I don't have one. I don't want to hurt other people," Agnes laughed, two faint dimples appearing on her face.
Waverly remembered that Hayley also had two dimples.
"Working for me is incredibly dangerous. There is a possibility that you will not come out alive," Waverly reminded her.
"There's always danger in every task I do. What's there to be afraid of? Everyone will die. At most, they'll die a noble death. I'll just die an untimely one then," Agnes said with a smile.
Waverly liked her character a lot. She asked, "You came late just now. Could you tell me where you went?"
"I met an old lady who couldn't find her way home, so I brought her home," Agnes said as she sat down opposite Waverly. She took a grape from the table and ate it.
"If I had chosen the first candidate, you might not have had this opportunity anymore."
Agnes smiled and said, "What's the point of overthinking that? If this opportunity slips past me, I will still have other chances. I just need money, but I'm not in a hurry to spend any."
She picked up another grape and stuffed it into her mouth. She continued to look at Waverly, "You are...the ex-wife of the president of A Country, Waverly Martell?"
Waverly paused. So far, she was the first person who recognized her. She asked, "Do you know me?"
Agnes laughed, "I've watched your live broadcast. I could tell that you had been framed. My eyes are quite sharp when it comes to judging people."
Waverly also smiled, "One's environment can change a lot of things, including their personality. The character of a person, whether a devil or a saint, can also be changed in a split second. When you ask for a higher reward, you're contradicting yourself. A person who wants a sacrificial lamb won't have a good character in the first place. Otherwise, they wouldn't use money to buy other people's lives. You have such a good character and yet you want to work for a person with such poor morals. How do you think you can solve that problem?"
Agnes thought for a while and looked at Waverly. She clapped her hands, leaned against the sofa and remained silent.
"In the past, I bought a turtle and raised it at home. The turtle was quite easy to raise and it wouldn't die even if I didn't feed it. It was clean, well-behaved and not noisy. It didn't cause any trouble. One day, I was scrolling through the Internet and my horoscope told me to release the turtle, so I put the turtle back into the river. At that time, a little girl asked me why I abandoned the turtle. I answered that I was letting it go. She asked me again about what it was going to eat if I let it go. I replied that it could eat small fishes, yet the little girl then said that the small fishes would die instead," Waverly said slowly.
Agnes's face became serious, "Are you going to ask me to kill someone? I won't kill anymore. If you want me to kill another person, you better not purchase me."
"There was once a bandit who had caught a hundred villagers. If you killed him, you could save a hundred villagers. If you didn't, a hundred villagers would die. Would you kill him or not?" Waverly asked again.
"Of course I would kill him," Agnes answered decisively.
"You're quite intelligent and have a sense of justice. You probably know what you want to do, but don't know what your actual goal is. You can't tell the severity of some matters. In other words, you keep on seeing the surface of matters, so you always act impulsively."
"So?" Agnes looked serious and asked.
"We should focus on the big picture. I need your help now. When I succeed later on, I will help you in return," Waverly said.
"What can you help me with?" Agnes frowned. "Do you know what I want?"
"In addition to making up for the people you've hurt before, I think that you also don't want to see tragedies happening again. You don't want children like you to be used as tools for killing to hurt innocent people and satisfy other people's desires. In the future, I will give you an elite team and let you fight against those evil forces. That's what you truly want to do, instead of sending off a lost old lady. Since a lost old lady can be helped by a child, why waste your energy in doing that?"
"Are you cornering Welch?" Agnes asked.
"I'll pay for the first year. When the second year arrives, whether you want to follow me or not, it all depends on you."
"I will say firsthand that I will only kill the wicked, not innocent people. Even if you threaten to kill me, I will not do it," Agnes warned in advance.
"Even if the person you are facing is a wicked man, you can't simply kill him. Otherwise, you would be torn to pieces before you would even be able to do anything. It's better to stand with dignity and crush your enemies than to quiver about and live in disgrace," Waverly said.
"You are indeed a former Mrs. President. Do you still want to go back to that life?" Agnes asked.
"I have nothing at the moment. Even if I become the President's wife, I will be easily pulled down. I am like a useless pawn that can be abandoned anytime. When I have enough ability and power, even if I make a mistake, no one can bring me down," Waverly answered firmly, a sharp edge laced in her words.
"You are incredibly different from your past self," Agnes said.
"You are the same. I want to be myself and grow myself wildly. If anyone dares to hurt me, they will be wounded by my thorns," Waverly said.
"Okay, I'll follow you for a year first. I'll choose my own path after that," Agnes said.
"I should be heading back tomorrow. How many days do you need to say goodbye to your friends?" Waverly asked.
"Give me two days. I'll find you then," Agnes said while thinking.
"Okay," Waverly agreed. She then asked one of Welch's men, "Where's Welch?"
"The boss has gone out and said that he'll sign the contract when he comes back. Do you want to wait?" Welch's subordinate asked.
Waverly hesitated and said, "I'll call him. Give me his cell phone number."
Welch's man took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, "Boss, Thorn Apple wants to talk to you through the phone. She has already met Agnes."
"Okay, give her the phone," Welch said.
His subordinate handed the mobile phone to Waverly.
Waverly took the mobile phone and said, "I want Boris and Agnes, but the money will be given to you only after I return. How do you want to sign the contract?"
"As for the money, Mr. Mccarthy has said he will give the amount to me directly. I'm talking to him now. I'll ask Boris and Agnes to sign the contract with you. You can bring the contract here and sign it with me instantly. You can take her away tomorrow," Welch said.
She remembered that just then, Joseph had told Duff that he would not give her the money because doing so would be wasteful. However, to her surprise, he was once again willing to pay.
She had always failed to understand his intentions.
She reckoned that even his friends could not do the same.
