Chapter 9: I Didn't Mean to Do What Happened to Antonia
Proofread by Feng Lei
Florence Li is obviously stunned, she does not understand what he meant. As a result, her face that is originally pale flushes immediately when she lowers her head.
She shrinks and pulls the skirt on her chest, saying in a panic, "I didn't..."
As soon as Li looks up, she finds that Brian's face is full of ridicule and disdain. As a result ,her throat is kind of tight, and she can't say it any more.
Seeing her shut up, Brian sneers, raises his hand, loosens his collar, and walks into the room with his long legs.
Florence Li grabs his clothes and suddenly thinks of something. She hurries up and asks, "Mr... Mr. Si, may I see my child? It's his first time to be away from me for so long. I am afraid that he will..."
"Your child?"
Brian steps down and turns to look at her: "Li, he is the bloodline of my family, that is the child of Si family."
It seems that Florence Li will open her mouth to say something.
And he sits on the sofa with his legs overlapped, picking up a document next to him and throwing it on the marble table. Then he lights a cigarette, smokes, and says in a cold voice, "Have a look."
She pauses, a little confused, but her hand has instinctively picked up the document. When she reads it clearly, her whole face suddenly turns pale.
"See?" He is playing with a lighter in his hand, and the corners of his mouth form a radian with irony, "Li, sign this document, then you can take the cheque here. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't sign it. After all, as long as I like, you can't see your child forever.
"Why?" She murmurs and her eyes are absolutely red. "Why do you take him away from me now? It's you who did not want to raise the child in those early years. Brian, do you hate me so much?"
The cigarette butt in his hand is thrown into the crystal ashtray. Brian frowns, and something else suddenly appears in his narrow eyes. However, only for a moment, the eyes cannot be decoded any more just like deep pools.
"Florence Li, there is no habit of raising illegitimate children outside in Si Family."
She bites her lip, and can't say anything. The rules of Si Family are very familiar to her. Even the old man's few confusing affairs are clear in the end. Though Brian's mother was pissed off, those who belong to the family were all brought back.
She grew up in the family and knew what would become of the illegitimate son even though the man was as excellent as Randolph Si. The old man spoiled him, but he still suffered humiliation and torture because of her status.
What's more, Nelson, a child who is not accepted from conception to birth.
When she thinks about what Brian will do in the future, she kneels down on the ground and cries out in a trembling voice, "Mr. Si, I beg you to let me go with my boy for old times' sake, we grew up together in the past years... I swear, I will raise him to eighteen years of age, and then I will pay the debt in my life to Antonia, as long as you order... Ah... "
Before she finishes, her neck is tightly held by him, and her face turns red with great strength. She begins to struggle in disorder immediately.
He half bends over and stares at her, and the handsome face that everyone admires is full of the shadow before its rage, "Li, are you qualified to talk about Antonia? Your life should have been paid back. If the old man didn't protect you, you won't have a chance to kneel here to beg me to let you two go."
Her ears are buzzing, but she can hear his words unexpectedly. Florence Li looks at his frown brows tightened with rage, and even forgets to struggle at that moment.
"The old man didn't forget to help you to escape before he died, because he knew if he was dead, I won't let you go easily."
The last breath of oxygen is exhausted, and the view in Li's eyes soon blacken.
People will think of many things while they are dying. Li suddenly thinks of the day when Antonia was sent to the airport by her. If everything can return to the very beginning, she will stop her.
"I didn't mean to do what happened to Antonia..."
