chapter 208 Do You Want To Kiss Me Back?
"Yes, who knows if you will use this money again, like a dog sticking to me all day to ask me to repay."
She deliberately said this to provoke Zachary. They had already divorced, so there shouldn't be any financial involvement, and this money didn't need to be repaid.
If she explained it well, who knows how long they would argue.
But with his proud temperament, he would definitely mock her after hearing this, and then take back the card.
Zachary did get angry as she expected, the blue veins on his forehead and neck tightened and a burst of irritability spread in his eyes. He stared at her face, unexpectedly lowered his head and kissed her rosy lips deeply and heavily.
Winona didn't expect him to kiss her, her eyes widened in surprise. When she wanted to struggle, the man had forcefully opened her lips and teeth, restlessly invading every corner of her mouth.
This kiss was very domineering. In just a few seconds, his breath filled her mouth, but it also ended quickly when she struggled to bite him.
Zachary let go of her, his gaze swept across her swollen lips. "You can use the card casually. Don't worry. I won't pester you anymore."
Winona trembled with anger. This money was exchanged for her labor, it was hers, there was no need for interest.
After the assessment in the mountain villa that day, she received a call from the mysterious person at night, saying that he recognized her skills and wanted to cooperate with her for a long time. He sent a contract, a bank card sufficient to repay Zachary's debt, and a note that said, “Repay the debt, work in peace, don't go around doing part-time jobs to delay my matters.”
She showed the contract to Ryan and got his confirmation. After confirming the money in the bank card, she brought it back to repay Zachary.
"Zachary, we are already divorced. If you want a woman, go find one. Don't act like a frustrated beast all day long and start being interested in your ex-wife who couldn't arouse your interest for three years in the marriage."
"If you yell a little louder, everyone on this floor will know what we were doing in the office just now."
Winona felt speechless for his audaciousness.
She glared at him fiercely, wiped her lips disdainfully in front of him and turned around to pull the door.
Zachary's hand against the door did not loosen.
Winona tried twice but couldn't open it. She took a deep breath and turned around. "What do you want?"
The man's gaze lowered and fell onto the black card that was discarded like a worn-out shoe on the ground. "Don't want the card, do you want to kiss me back?"
Zachary's words made Winona so angry that she felt like having a heart attack. "You have so much money that you can’t figure out how to spend it. You just want to shove it onto women to make yourself look generous and wealthy?"
"It's up to you to answer that. I only shoved money to you. Do you feel that I am generous and extravagant?" Winona smiled lightly. The man even give up his dignity to appease her. "Are you saying that Miss Clark is not a person, or are you already so shameless that you won't admit to what you've done? When you were actively giving her money and soliciting investments, you were quite enthusiastic."
"The investment in Fiona's dance troupe was a decision made by the company. It was all on the company's account. As for soliciting investments, it wasn't me who was giving the money."
They held their ground for a while, but Winona couldn't hold back and gave in. Forget it, what's the point of arguing with a dog? She bent down to pick up the card. "Move aside."
Zachary finally pulled back his hand.
After Winona left, Zachary called Dylan Collins in. "Go investigate who lent money to Winona."
Dylan Collins replied, "Yes."
Zachary looked at him and sneered. "If you make another mistake like mistaking a restorer for a janitor, next time you won't just be transferred."
Somehow, news of Winona repaying Zachary reached Carlos's ears. That day, when Winona finished work and returned home after 10 p.m., she ran into Carlos, who had been claiming to be abroad all this time.
Carlos had a smile plastered on his face, as if he had forgotten that he was not Winona's real father, and even forgot that they had recently reached the point of tearing each other apart. "I heard that you paid back the debt to Zachary. Where did you get so much money from? Did you use the inheritance left by your mother?"
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Winona.
Winona furrowed her brows. "What inheritance?"
When she heard about her mother's sudden death, she was still in school. She had received the news and hurriedly rushed to the hospital, but by the time she arrived, her mother had already passed away, covered in a white sheet in an empty ward.
Because she died in a car accident, her appearance wasn't pleasant. Carlos had stopped her from seeing her, saying that he was afraid she would have nightmares if she saw her mother like that. No matter how she cried and begged, it was useless. Later, after the funeral home's makeup artist had done some work, she finally saw her mother for the last time.
Forget about inheritance, she hadn't even heard a single word of a will.
Besides, if there really was an inheritance, Carlos probably used it all up years ago.
Carlos immediately figured out what she was thinking. "That money is left for you by your mother, and I only heard her mention a rough amount. It's enough for you to spend lavishly for your lifetime. But I don't know where she kept it. Otherwise, when the Sullivan Family Group faced a shortage of funds, it wouldn't have declared bankruptcy directly."
"I don't know about any inheritance."
"How could you not know? If you didn't use that inheritance, how could you afford Zachary's money?"
"So you have your eyes on that inheritance and want a share?"
"Winona, you're being harsh with your words. Your mother and I were married. Even if we have no blood relation, legally speaking, we are still father and daughter. I also have a certain proportion of inheritance rights. Even if this matter goes to court, I still have a share."
He knew about this money when he accidentally stumbled upon Winona's mother's diary after going abroad. But after searching for so many years, not to mention the money, he couldn't even find a single penny.
Back then, he heard that she could get at least an eight-figure sum to repair something, but after so many years, she didn't save any money. It turned out she left a contingency plan.
Winona was amused by Carlos's shameless attitude. "You really are a gold digger. Although your second marriage's child is already so grown up, the three of you are teaming up to bully the only daughter left by the ex-wife, and you still delusionally dream of the ex-wife's inheritance."
Carlos's family background couldn't even reach the threshold of a comfortable life. Although Winona's grandfather wasn't considered a wealthy family, he was still affluent. After getting married, the Sullivan Family Group Carlos founded skyrocketed with the help of his grandfather's connections and funds.
Winona disgustedly drove him away. "Go away! Even if there is an inheritance, you won't get a cent."
"You are so unfaithful and unfilial." Carlos had always been looked down upon since he was young. After becoming successful, he valued his reputation even more. Now, being told to "go away" by Winona face to face, he couldn't swallow this insult and raised his hand, ready to slap her.
But before his slap could land on Winona's face, someone intercepted him.
In the next second, he was kicked and thrown out.
Carlos hit the wall violently, feeling as if his internal organs were about to burst out. However, what frightened him even more was the person in front of him...
