The Best Gift Was You - Chapter 9

What did you just say. I said you should marry me Lucinda replied. Philip smiled and said “The only reason you want to marry me it because you want to make use of me right, you don’t love Me, I’m not wealthy so the only reason you want to marry me use is to make use of me”.

Lucinda looked at Philip and said “I like you you are smart so do you agree I will pay you for your time; just five years then we divorce, I want my family to get of my back of marrying someone I don’t like”.

Philip looked at her and said “I don’t need your money I can only help you on one condition”. Lucinda looked at him while Philip relaxed on his chair and smirked “Help me find evidence against the Long’s and make them bankrupt; if you can do that for me I would’ve no problem helping you,Just make sure they disappear from Houston city and go back to China, You have the money to do it so it shouldn’t be a problem right”.

Lucinda looked at Philip and said ” You are very Harden never knew this about you, Is that what you want consider it done. But your character must be in action, and make sure to act like a perfect husband and one more thing nobody must know about this okay only the both of us”.

“Consider it done anyway I don’t like to be known with rich people” Replied Philip as he walked out.
