Chapter 47 The Gold-digger

• Arabella just lowered her head. She couldn’t face him for she knew her asking for money was too off. She was not the kind of person, but with her situation, she had left with no choice. Judging from Bill’s action, she knew Bill had misinterpreted her. Who cares? She needed the money to find the person who was behind her father’s attempted killing. Too bad, her character would be very bad in Bill’s eyes.
• “So, tell me, you didn’t leave me last night because you wanted that money?” The playful smile he was wearing earlier instantly vanished in the air. Admittedly, he expected too much of this girl in front of him. She saved his life last night and he thought that was all because of her genuine kindness. Guess he was wrong. That was his first time appreciating a woman not by her beauty but by her inner side, but it seemed his first time was not a good experience.
• “Yes.” She put all her courage to reply to him. She felt her lips were shaking but she tried her best to make it unobvious. Of course, it was a lie, but just to stop the interrogation process with him and finish what she needed to be settled, she answered him directly.
