Chapter 306: What is Ruth Wilcox up to?
To tell the truth, Ruth Wilcox’s phone call had saved Lucy Clayton’s life, because if she had a meeting with Yusuf Zuck at seven in the morning, Yusuf wouldn’t be able to come here after seven.
Yusuf had been somewhat hesitant, especially since through his interactions with Lucy, he had come to respect her. She had guts and bloodlust, making her a respectable opponent!
Yusuf himself carried an air of the Jianghu, but Lucy’s was even thicker.
Of course, letting Lucy off was not to say he had completely spared her. Before he left, he said that Lucy’s life was now his. He would continue to observe her.
When Yusuf walked out of the main villa building, the cheongsam-clad Ariel Higgins presented him with a cheque, on which was written the figure of one billion.
"Mr. Zuck, this is compensation from Boss Clayton for you and your brothers," Ariel said, holding the cheque out to Yusuf with both hands. "Boss Clayton said he will also check into Ditang Hospital tomorrow and will personally apologize to your brothers then!"
"Keep the money. Tell your Boss Clayton, I don’t need money and I don’t want to extort wealth from him. All I want is his life, so from today on, his life is mine – it’s just temporarily residing with him!" After saying this, Yusuf turned his car around and drove away.
He didn’t want the billion, because accepting the money would represent a compromise. Yusuf was not short of a billion, so he wanted a life, not money. This way, Lucy would always feel a sense of crisis.
Ariel bowed toward the direction in which Yusuf had left without any expression, then she turned and went back to the tower building.
"Boss, why do this? You’re in this state, and he’s still claiming your life. Are we really that scared of him?" Ariel couldn’t bear to see Lucy’s plight, having followed her for some years, she had never seen Lucy in such a sorry state.
