Chapter 74 What Do you Really Want?

Elizabeth had calculated that Hassan would surely take her side, so she deliberately made things difficult for Elena. Little did she know that as soon as she spoke, Hassan's face immediately turned gloomy.

"Get out of here right now!"

Thinking that Hassan was scolding Elena, Elizabeth confidently said, "Did you hear that? He's telling you to leave right away!"

Elena shrugged her shoulders and walked away.

Hassan slammed the table and stood up.

"I'm talking to you! Get out immediately!"

Elizabeth was frightened. "What did I do wrong, Mr. Al-Farouk?"

"She's my woman, and you actually made her wash your dirty underwear. Who do you think you are?" Hassan reprimanded in a stern voice.

Elizabeth's face turned pale, and she quickly packed up and left. She knew all too well about Hassan's temper. If she didn't leave immediately, she would be in trouble.

Elena couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, not expecting that Hassan would stand up for her.

Walking out of the door, I heard a strange sound from behind.

I turned around and saw Elizabeth rushing out in a sorry state, struggling to put on clothes as she walked along the road.

It seems like she kicked something and tumbled on the ground, losing her glamorous and sexy image.

A group of bodyguards watched this scene, holding back their laughter, their faces turning red, and their shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

Elizabeth seemed oblivious and got up from the ground, heading straight for Nabil.

"Nabil! I followed your master's instructions all night, my voice is almost hoarse, but he didn't even give me a dollar as a reward. What about the promised payment?"

It turned out to be an act, no wonder Elena had a slight smile on her lips after enduring the whole night.

Watching this farce with great interest, Hassan, are you more naive than I am? How could you even think of such a boring trick?

Nabil chuckled, "Chloe, I will have to request the money from the master. It should be in your account within three days. You should go back first!"

"Fine!" Elizabeth left in a dejected state, but after a few steps, she turned back and saw Elena mocking her with a smile.

She was stunned and a bit unwilling, walking back quickly in her high heels.

"Don't get too happy just yet, he will soon get tired of you."

Elena shrugged, "It doesn't matter! I'm already tired of him anyway."

"You..." Elizabeth looked incredulously at this "exceptional" girl. Who would dare to say that they were tired of this extremely wealthy and handsome man, more than the god of wealth himself?

"Forget it! I don't want to argue with you. As a fellow woman, let me give you a piece of advice! While you still have your beauty and allure, make some money! So that when he dumps you, you won't have nowhere to cry."

Elena shrugged indifferently, "Boring! I don't want his money."

She didn't want to continue the conversation with this boring woman and turned to walk towards the backyard.

"Chloe, if you don't leave now, I'm afraid you won't get a single penny."

Nabil reminded her, Elizabeth gazed at Elena's departing figure, filled with jealousy while grinding her teeth.

Her chest could be even more enhanced, her nose could be higher, and her eyes could be made bigger...

But she could never turn back into someone as innocent looking as Elena.

With Elizabeth's departure, Hassan's tactics were declared a complete failure.

Meanwhile in the majestic CEO office of the AF Group...

Several executives stood in front of the CEO, bowing their heads, holding reports.

One by one, they entered the CEO's office with trepidation and left with downcast expressions.

It was unclear what had upset the CEO, but the entire company's executives were scolded one by one. The whole company was in a state of uneasiness, trembling with fear, and the morale was low.

The atmosphere was eerie. Throughout the day, Hassan was in a foul mood, and the sound of his thunderous rage could be heard coming from the office.

Nabil stood outside the door, observing the bloodshot eyes and suppressed emotions of his master.

Only after everyone in the office had left, did Nabil enter.

On Hassan's desk there were stacks of files, but none of them had been opened. His eyes were fixated on a certain spot on the desktop, lost in thought.

"Master!" Nabil spoke in a low voice. Hassan glanced at him and asked, "What is it?"

"Last night, there was an order. Country H has requested the XX missile model from us, and I have already processed the order..."

"Arrange those matters yourself, don't bother me!" Hassan was no longer interested in these arms deals.

"Master, do you still want to invite two women over tonight?"

Hassan grabbed the ashtray on the desk and hurled it towards Nabil. "They're all trash!"

Nabil swiftly caught the ashtray, wearing a bitter smile on his face. Ever since Elena appeared, any other woman in his master's eyes was simply trash.

"Is Master angry because of Miss Walker?"

"Angry for her? She's just a woman, not worth it!" Hassan coldly replied.

Nabil wiped his sweat. "Master, you already have her now! Why worry?"

"Have her? Her heart isn't with me!"

Nabil pondered seriously before saying, "Master, have you asked for too much? The contract you signed with Miss Walker is only a brief affair. All you want is her body, how could you expect to have her heart?"

"What do you suggest, then?"

"Trade heart for heart!" Nabil replied simply.

"Trade heart for heart? What kind of idea is that? Do you want me to genuinely care for her? Impossible!" Hassan scolded with a dark expression. "Get out!"

Everyone had gone mad. Did they really expect him to submit to a woman? To let a woman have control over him? He couldn't do it! He didn't believe he couldn't tame her.

His mansion was grand, and the garden was vast. Elena spent her whole day running up and down, wandering around the garden.

"Miss Walker!" Noura caught up with her.

Elena turned impatiently, "Noura, I can't run away, why are you so worried?"

She counted the days every day, and there were only 49 days left!

"No, Miss Walker, it's about your phone..."

Noura handed her the phone, and Elena answered, "Hello!"

"Elena, it's me!"

"Mom! Do you need something?"

"How are you now?"

"I'm fine! I called you to let you know that I found a job in the film crew again. I'll start working tomorrow. I'll be able to save up quite a bit of money in a while." Sarah's tone was filled with excitement.

"Really?"

"Mom, I'm so happy for you!" This was the best news Elena had heard. If her mom could return to work, it would reduce the longing for Annie and slowly bring life back to normal. When enough time had passed, she would gradually tell her the truth.

"Yes, when Mom saves enough money, we'll go to England to see Annie!" Sarah's tone was filled with excitement, but Elena's heart sank. Go to England to see Annie? That was a dream that could never be realized.

"Elena, what's wrong?" Sarah sensed Elena's distraction over the phone.

"It's nothing, Mom. Just focus on your work. I have things to do. Goodbye!"

Feeling guilty, Elena quickly hung up the phone and held her phone tightly, sinking into a cold, dark sadness.

"Miss Walker, my condolences and take care?" Noura looked at her with concern.

Elena shook her head sadly and put her hands in her hair. She walked slowly to the vine chair in the garden and sat down.

"Noura, I want to be alone for a while."

" Miss Walker, it's very dark outside now, and the temperature will drop significantly."

"Noura, please! I just want some time alone."

"Alright."

Noura sighed heavily and silently left.

Elena closed her eyes, still vividly remembering the happy times she had spent with Annie.

"Elena, capture my good side in the photo. I want to send it to the magazine editor. Take a picture of my left face, it looks prettier. Now change to another..."

"A Rolls-Royce, a shadow Ferrari sports car and an extended Cheetah..."

"So handsome, so cool, he seems like an international male model..."

The root of all misfortunes started from the day she secretly captured Hassan's deal on the mountaintop. If she hadn't encountered him, none of this would have happened.

Elena's heart ached so much!

She didn't know how much time had passed until she struggled to wake up from the pain.

By now, the night had covered the earth. Her house was peaceful, and the silver moonlight gently illuminated the garden, enveloping everything in a subtle, mysterious glow.

She could see the grand living room of the villa from a distance, where the grand crystal chandelier emitted a luxurious brilliance.

He should be back by now! If he couldn't see her, he would surely unleash his anger. Elena stood up, but suddenly, she noticed a blue rose on the garden path, looking particularly peculiar under the moonlight.

The backyard was filled with roses of various colors, but there were no blue roses. Elena bent down and picked it up.

She held it to her nose and took a gentle sniff. The scent of roses was so strong!

Looking up, she saw another one ahead. Elena jogged over and picked up the blue rose.

Soon, she continued to discover a third, fourth, fifth, and sixth blue rose. She followed the path, and every few meters, there was a beautiful blue rose. It was like a candy trap, slowly luring Elena deeper into its enchantment.

Elena was led away from the safety zone near her home. In this moment, the moonlight gave everything around her a romantic and hazy aura. Like a lively little rabbit, Elena was drawn to this magical game. She ran and picked up roses, almost unable to hold them all in her arms.

"Ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine branches..."

When Elena counted up to the ninety-ninth branch, something hard was suddenly pressed against her temple from behind.

"Don't move! Lovely little fox!"

A cold voice sounded in her ear, causing Elena’s entire body to tense up.
