Mr. President Do You Mind If I Fall In Love With You? - Chapter 31
Luna regretted going to this place. If she had known that he would not help his own child, Luna would never dare to seek her father’s help. Her fists clenched on both sides as she listened to her father’s nonsensical reason.
“You dare to call yourself a man!” she blurted out, “He’s your own son. You will let him die just because you cannot release money to pay for his operation?”
“Have you forgotten that you were the one who chose to cut our relation? And now you dared to step on my house to ask for money?” Stephen Jiang slammed his hands on the table in front of him. “Ungrateful child!”
He wouldn’t admit it, but when this daughter of his left their company, they suffered a loss. She was one of the best managers they had, but she chose to leave them because of her animosity against her half-sister, Sienna. If only he knew what really happened between his daughters, he wouldn’t let Luna suffer.
“Then take all your money and put it in your ȧss, you ȧsshole!” Luna exclaimed. She’d long forgotten that she still had a father. He never treated her or her mother right in the first place. Who did he think he was to treat her like trash?
Luna cursed the whole Jiang family in her heart. She’d tried her best not to nurture hate and revenge against them, but this was too much! Julian … her poor little brother was lying on his deathbed, and no one was willing to save him except for her.
Her eyes almost tinged with redness from the exhaustion that had already started to affect her senses. She was tired, but she needed to raise money for Julian’s immediate operation. She then turned around to leave this nasty place. She shouldn’t have come here.
Her tears ran down her cheeks as she opened the front door, oblivious to the pair of eyes that were watching her every move. Sienna’s lip curled into a smile. Waiting for Luna to seek their father’s help had been boring, but it was worth the wait.
“Sister, what brings you here?” Her voice made Luna stopped on her tracks and looked up only to see Sienna wearing a slim fitted red dress, making her way down the staircase. Her eyes darkened as she realized what this woman was up to.
“Sorry, Sienna. I have no time to waste right now.” Luna bit out.
Sienna sneered inwardly. Luna was still arrogant even in her desperate situation.
“I heard what happened to Julian. Such a poor little brother. If you want, I can help.” She gave a knowing look at Luna’s direction and crossed her arms beneath her ċhėst.
Luna’s grip on her handbag tightened. She knew what Sienna wanted in return. She was really tempted to give in and sign away those papers if it meant that she would be able to save her brother’s life in this critical condition.
What was keeping her to fight for inheritance anyway? The Jiang family could go to hell, and she wouldn’t even shed a tear if they do. The only people that matter to her right now was her mother and her younger brother.
“I—” She was about to agree when her phone rang loudly, disturbing her and Sienna’s conversation.
Taking her phone from her pocket, she saw that it was an emergency call from her mother.
“Mom, I’ll be back soon. Give me an hour, and I will be there,” she said.
“No, no—” her mother’s tone was in panic, making Luna’s heart clench in pain—”You must come back. We don’t have time. The doctor said that they have to operate on him as soon as possible …”
Luna bit her lower lip. She had no time to waste and must decide soon. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She then remembered Hero’s proposal after he dropped her off at Jiang’s Estate. She still couldn’t understand why this man was still pursuing her. Hadn’t she made it clear that she wasn’t interested?
‘Be my woman, and you will get everything you want.’
His words sounded like devil’s word whispered to her ear. Luna opened her eyes and looked back at her half-sister who was obviously waiting for her to come up with her decision. Both offers could save her brother, but who was the lesser evil between the two?
Could she really sell herself to the man who deflowered her? Or will she choose to agree to Sienna’s terms?
