Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 52 Dismantling

   "..."

  Being continuously provoked and threatened by Veraker unscrupulously, this is a scenario that Fletcher never thought would happen. Unfortunately, he can only swallow his anger now, and then irritate this young man with harsh words, who knows how he will insult himself.

   "Let's go out after a break, I want to rest for a while." Verak found a reason to drive Fletcher away.

  Fletcher was eager to leave early, so even though his legs were still weak and trembling, he still gritted his teeth and stood up, slowly leaving

  The sound of closing the door sounded.

  Verak closed his eyes, and his chest heaved greatly with deep breathing.

   Very refreshing.

   Putting Fletcher, an insufferable old man, underfoot, this feeling cannot be bought by money.

  Fletcher will face any kind of revenge in the future, and Verac will accept all of them. His fear of Fletcher has been swept away, and this lunatic who relies on others finally dare not tell him what to do.

   "Huh." Verak let out a long breath, as if the shoulders that were weighing heavily had relaxed a lot with the naked eye.

  What happened just now gave him a new view on the rules of his survival in Laizein. Sometimes he doesn’t need to be so forbearing in doing things. Although being bold will come with some risks, it will be quite simple and happy to solve the problem.

  Verak came to the bed, feeling unprecedented ease with the wind blowing.

   Sure enough, being yourself is the easiest thing to do.

   "Verak..." Verak said his name softly.

   Himself is always himself.

  …

  At eight o'clock in the evening, Verac and the Carmine family greeted Elizabeth at the door.

   "Mr. Carmine, Mrs. Meera..." Elizabeth came alone in a off-the-shoulder white gauze dress, greeted Carmine and Meera, and then looked at Verac, "Chris."

   "Good evening, Elizabeth." Veraker acted as calmly as yesterday, "Come in."

   A group of people came to the restaurant. Today's dinner was much richer than before. Elizabeth sat opposite Verac. According to Carmine's arrangement, Verac did not take the initiative to speak and waited for Carmine to deal with it.

"This should be the first time we've met." Carmine had a kind face and talked cordially with Elizabeth, "But I've heard Chris mention you countless times, and if we have the chance, we'll go and see your performance. "

   "Thank you." Elizabeth nodded slightly, and said softly, "It's an honor to perform for everyone."

After a while of pleasantries, Carmine cut to today's topic: "However, I only heard Chris mention the relationship between you not long ago. You are very good, but Chris is not suitable for you. On this point, Chris Already realized."

  Verak didn't expect Carmine to speak so directly. This kind of thing is actually more suitable for Mrs. Meera to do. Seeing that Carmine clicked on him, he spoke at the right time, continuing Carmine's rough and direct style: "Elizabeth, I haven't seen you for a while, but I was actually thinking about it. I...don't love you anymore, I hope we will also love you in the future." Don't make any further contact."

   "You can explain this kind of thing to me directly last night." As soon as Verak finished speaking, Elizabeth immediately replied.

"He didn't know how to talk to you last night. He came back and talked to me before we met tonight." Carmine explained for Veraker, "It's not good for you or Chris to announce this matter. Good thing, your acting career is on the rise, and Chris is about to marry someone, I will personally come forward today, just hoping to settle the matter today."

   Facing Carmine's displeasure, Elizabeth's expression didn't change at all: "I want to hear from Chris."

   "What my father said is what I meant." Verac said.

   "Then why didn't you tell me in person?" Elizabeth looked directly at Verac.

  Verak pretended to be guilty, with an apologetic face and erratic eyes: "I know this matter is cruel to you, and I know you love me deeply...so I don't know how to tell you in person."

"But it's even more cruel to me to invite me here and say that in front of your whole family." Elizabeth didn't bow down just because this was in the Thomas family, and the Thomas family was the top consortium of Laizein. She was outraged.

"Our intention is not to embarrass you, but to settle this matter today." Carmine was still polite before, but he didn't like this poor family in his heart, and he didn't want to be on the stage. She is a professional girl, so after Elizabeth did not show any weakness at all, Carmine, who had also accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction during this period of time, became more arrogant and contemptuous, "Do you still want to pester Chris? You are no good."

   "If he doesn't love me anymore, then there's no need for me to pester him." Elizabeth said.

  The atmosphere at the table became awkward, because Carmine became strict, and no one dared to touch the tableware.

   "Kellerman, take Julia back to the room first." Carmine said.

   "Good father." Kellerman got up and left the restaurant with the panicked Julia.

   "Do you have any conditions? You need a sum of money to leave Chris?" Carmine looked at Elizabeth.

   Hearing this, Veraker felt angry for Elizabeth. Obviously Elizabeth was the most innocent person. She was told to separate from Chris as soon as she arrived, and before she could say anything, she was maliciously speculated that she didn't leave for money.

"I don't need money." Elizabeth's mood fluctuated, "I hope you don't speculate about me maliciously. I haven't heard from Chris in the past month. I didn't intend to meet him last night and he only said some very inexplicable things. Today Inviting me here directly tells us that there is no possibility. I don’t want to ask you for anything by staying here, but I just hope to get an explanation and listen to Chris tell me.”

   "Chris, say." Carmine said.

  Verak felt that Elizabeth was a bit pitiful, and this was another person who was looked down upon by a high-ranking dignitary like Carmine: "I...I said it, Elizabeth. I don't love you anymore, and I will obey my father's arrangement."

   "Okay, I agree." Elizabeth nodded, "Is there anything else?"

   "No more." Carmine was surprised that Elizabeth would be so decisive, but it was just as he wished.

   "I can leave now, and I will never see Chris again, and there will be no contact." Elizabeth promised, "But I have a request."

   "Tell me, how much is it?" Carmine squinted his eyes, thinking he had seen through Elizabeth's true face.

   "I want to have a few last words with him in private," Elizabeth said.
