NOVPUBChapter 1341: 628 Taking Advantage of a Fire_1 Chapter 1341: 628 Taking Advantage of a Fire_1 “Sullivan, do you really not recognize me anymore?” Keanu Ledger was worried.
How could Sullivan lose his memory?
The young man was draped in a blanket, sitting blankly in front of the window.
At the sound of his words, he mechanically turned his head and glanced at him.
“When are you planning to pay back the money you owe me?”
Keanu Ledger felt like he was falling apart, “So you didn’t lose your memory?
Are you kidding me?
And since when do I owe you money?”
“Some time ago, one of your high school classmates came to you for an investment in their currency fund.
...
You whimsically invested all your hard-saved wife’s money and even borrowed two hundred thousand from me.
As a result, all that money was lost.
Although you are my agent, we need to settle our accounts.”
Maybe it was due to a lack of sunlight for a prolonged period, the young man’s skin had a sickly pallor that added a trace of frailty to his handsome features.
His chin was covered with stubble, he appeared disheveled yet attractive.
“Didn’t I pay you back a long time ago?
You’re not trying to trick me into giving you more money, are you?
I’m not so easily fooled…
Wait a minute…”
Keanu Ledger suddenly realized something was wrong, “This happened three years ago, how can you remember it so clearly?”
The young man frowned, “What three years ago?
Keanu Ledger, let me tell you, you can’t back out of it, I’ve kept a record.”
Keanu Ledger looked at the young man’s serious demeanor.
He thought that the boy’s injury was healing nicely, even old disputes were dug up, it seemed he was fine.
“Alright, alright, I won’t renege.
When you’re fully recovered and discharged from the hospital, I’ll repay all that I owe you.
Is that alright, Mr.
Cook?”
Anton Cook nodded solemnly, “Paying back the money you owe is the righteous thing to do.
By the way, how did I get injured?
I can’t remember anything.”
Keanu Ledger was startled, “Really?
You’ve forgotten about Ms.
Aubree too?
You took a bullet for her…”
“Mr.
Ledger.” A sudden voice interrupted Keanu Ledger’s words.
Keanu Ledger turned around.
A lady in a long white dress walked in.
Her long hair scattered over her shoulders, her face was clear-cut, and her temperament was elegant. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
For a moment, Keanu Ledger almost thought it was Aubree.
It wasn’t until the woman came closer and he saw her face clearly, that he awakened from his trance.
She was pretty, but compared to Aubree, she was a far cry.
“Who are you?” Keanu Ledger was certain he hadn’t met her before, so he couldn’t help but turn to look at Anton Cook.
Could it be a lover’s debt that Sullivan has incurred?
“Why are you here again?” Anton Cook sounded very impatient.
“Hello.
I am Charlotte Aria, Sullivan’s…” Charlotte Aria smiled, “Our two families have been acquainted for generations.
Uncle Cook has been very busy lately, so I have been taking care of Sullivan in the hospital.”
Keanu Ledger quickly said, “Ms.
Aria, nice to meet you.
I’m Sullivan’s agent, Keanu Ledger.
You can call me ‘Keanu’, calling me Mr.
Ledger is too formal.”
So she was Sullivan’s childhood friend, and their families were old acquaintances.
Her family must also be of good standing.
Charlotte Aria placed the thermos she was carrying on the table and opened it, “The doctor said that you can only eat liquid food these days.
I made lean meat porridge and added a few Chinese medicines.
The lean meat was crushed with a blender, and it has been stewed for more than three hours.
It’s easy to digest and absorb.”
As soon as the lid was opened, a savory scent filled the entire ward, causing Keanu Ledger to salivate.
“If Mr.
Ledger doesn’t mind, I’ll give you this bowl.
It’s mealtime now.
I’ll treat you to a meal later, use this porridge to fill your stomach.”
Keanu Ledger took the bowl with a surprised expression, “It seems like I hit the jackpot today.”
Charlotte Aria held the bowl and walked up to Anton Cook.
She softly said, “You haven’t eaten anything since you woke up.
If you go on like this, your body won’t hold up.
Try some porridge to warm your stomach.”
She then ladled a spoonful of porridge and directed it towards Anton Cook’s lips.
Outside the ward, Dallyn clenched her fists, “What’s this woman doing here?
Why is she trying to curry favor with Mr.
Cook now?”
As this was being said, she was about to push open the door of the ward and take action.
“Dallyn.” Aubree stopped her, took one last look at Anton Cook in the ward, and turned to leave.
“Miss, why aren’t you going in?
Mr.
Cook has lost his memory now, and he has forgotten you.
What if he mistake’s Charlotte Aria for you?”
“If that’s the case, it would be quite good.”
Aubree entered the elevator, “If fate has chosen to let him forget me, it is helping him.
Otherwise…”
Aubree smiled, “He would die.”
She wouldn’t let the tragedy repeat itself.
This is the best outcome for Anton Cook.
“But…” Dallyn had an unwilling look on her face.
“Even if Mr.
Cook has forgotten you, it doesn’t mean that Charlotte Aria can take advantage.
Isn’t she just taking advantage of a crisis?”
Given Mr.
Cook’s status, there’s no woman worthy of him other than her mistress.
Charlotte Aria has calculated too shrewdly.
“Everyone has their destiny, let’s go.”
Aubree stepped out of the elevator, and Dallyn followed asking, “Where are we going next?”
She had thought that her mistress had hurried to Lostswa with such urgency to see Anton Cook.
It turns out she was overthinking it.
“Magead Temple.”
_
Anton Cook stared at her quietly.
His gaze made Charlotte Aria feel a chill in her heart, she maintained her smile, “What’s wrong?”
“Didn’t I tell you not to show up in front of me?” Anton Cook said coldly.
“This porridge is really tasty, Ms.Aria is truly talented….” Keanu Ledger was enjoying the porridge happily, when he suddenly heard Anton Cook’s words, he almost choked on the porridge he was swallowing.
This lad, even after losing his memory, remained the same, not showing any courtesy towards women.
Charlotte Aria put down the bowl, smiled slightly, “Sullivan, Uncle Cook is very busy and doesn’t have time to take care of you personally.
He’s asked me to take care of you.
What’s important for you right now is to recover from your injuries.
After that, you can stay away from me all you want.
Will you cooperate?”
“Don’t use my brother as an excuse.” Anton Cook’s stern face was icy cold, his gaze settled on the garden outside the window.
A ray of the setting sun fell on his brows and eyes, making his eyes colder.
“There are nurses who take care of me.
I don’t need the help of Ms.
Aria.
Please leave now.”
Charlotte Aria’s smile could not be maintained.
She had thrown away her dignity to personally take care of him, only to receive his merciless rebuke.
At this moment, it felt as if he was stepping on her dignity.
“Also.” Anton Cook’s face became even colder.
“White doesn’t suit you.”
At this statement, Charlotte Aria’s face could be described as black as the bottom of a pot.
She wondered if Anton Cook was pretending to have lost his memory and deliberately taunting her here.
Keanu Ledger almost choked.
Sullivan was a true man, which lady wouldn’t cry and run away hearing such words.
Moreover, why was he even bothering about which color the lady wore?
Does he think he lives in the Pacific to care so much?
No…
Keanu Ledger took another look at Charlotte Aria.
He almost mistook her for someone else just now.
It seems Sullivan was pretending to have amnesia.
Of course!
Even if he forgot everything else, he would never forget the song he wrote called ‘White’, which was rated by music critics as the most classic and sincere work among all of Anton Cook’s works.
Anton Cook’s gaze accidentally swept over the window, he suddenly stood up abruptly and ran out the door, completely ignoring Charlotte Aria, who was now looking pale.
