Chapter 490 - 491: Can’t Turn Back Early
The reporters not far behind Cherish Turner kept pressing their shutters, as if they were capturing some gossip-worthy news. Throughout, some shouted, "Miss, please turn around," "Miss, what’s your relationship with Mr. Griffith," "Is this young lady Mr. Griffith’s new love?" among similar remarks.
Cherish couldn’t hear any of the clamor.
She stubbornly tightened her lips, clenching her fists, as if holding back something, not allowing her emotions to break.
Cherish Turner didn’t even bother to look at his face, only staring at his chest and softly asking, "Why did you transfer thirty percent of your stocks to me?"
William Griffith was silent for a moment before answering solemnly, "It’s what you deserve."
Deserve? Cherish felt the urge to laugh, but why couldn’t she?
It reminded her of why their paths crossed in the first place — a contract, a transaction. He had never cared for her, and she shouldn’t have taken it seriously. But what about later? Was that fake too? Why did he treat her well? Why did he ask if she’d be his girlfriend? Why did he make her feel like the happiest person in the world?
Cherish’s entire body trembled. She bent down to pick up her crossbody bag, her trembling hands hastily unzipping it and pulling out the contract. Her grip so tight that the paper was crumpled and marked, she said, "Take your contract back! I don’t need the shares!"
"What? You think this is humiliating you?" William Griffith retorted, his eyes filled with deep resentment.
"I don’t need it!" Cherish furrowed her brows angrily, about to tear the contract in her hand.
William was quick to react, reaching out to grab her wrist. His grip was so strong that it made Cherish almost cry out in pain. He sternly scolded her, "Refusing won’t benefit you. Having money is better than not having any. You should be smarter! Your pride will only make you foolish and unable to survive!"
