A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 75 Sell the Comic
Darlene put her hand that was holding the check into her pocket. Darlene gripped the check tightly, trying to calm herself down
as much as possible.
Darlene thought, that’s my own thing. There is nothing wrong with me selling it, and there is no need to worry about Avery having
any objections.
Avery walked closer and reached out to grab Darlene’s arm, wanting to take her hand
out.
Avery’s tone sounded like joking, but in fact, Avery was serious and didn’t wait for Darlene to express her opinion.
“What is it? Let me take a look.”
”
Darlene struggled to take a step back. Darlene’s face was full of disgust. She said, “It’s my own thing. It has nothing to do with
you.”
Avery refused to give up and insisted on taking the check from Darlene’s hand. “Mr. Walpole is a businessman. How can a
businessman have a simple mind? You don’t know how to see through one’s mind. I just don’t want you to be fooled by him.”
Avery was strong, and it was not difficult for him to take the thing out of Darlene, who was already sick.
Avery took the check that was clenched into a ball. Avery looked at the number on it. It was $50 thousand dollars. Avery’s
expression changed.
Avery threw the check on the tea table. He stared at Darlene and said in a low voice, “850 thousand dollars? Gustave is cunning.
What kind of did you take to make such a big deal with him?”
Darlene leaned over. He tapped the check on the tea table with his fingertips and said, “Darlene, since that’s the case, how can
you say that you have nothing to do with him?
“Did I make you lack money? Why can’t you be obedient in front of me? Do you just

want to take money from Gustave and Nathen?”
Avery approached. There was no one else in the lounge. The sudden pressure made Darlene subconsciously feel a little
repulsed and afraid.
Darlene took a step back and said angrily, “Avery, don’t go too far. I’ve already stayed.
It’s not like everything has to be controlled by you. Don’t force me.”
The lounge was not very spacious. Darlene only took a few steps back before her back was pressed against the wall.
Avery pressed his hand against Darlene’s shoulder. An abnormal redness appeared in his eyes. Avery said, “Force you?”
Darlene, you are forcing me. Why don’t you teach me how to take 850 thousand dollars from Gustave?
“Can you tell me what kind of person Gustave is? Can you tell me how to please Gustave? What did you do to make Gustave
willingly give you 850 thousand dollars? Don’t tell me that you have something worth him paying 850 thousand dollars.”
When he finished speaking, Avery remembered the contract on the tea table. Avery immediately turned around, took the
contract, and read it.
Darlene was eager to get the contract back. “It has nothing to do with you. Give it back.
to me.”
Avery was angry. He read the contract in a hurry. Then, Avery slammed the contract on
the tea table.
“You sold the comic to him? I want to change the comic into a movie. But you didn’t agree. So, is that what you want?”
Avery thought, Darlene said that she didn’t want Vivian to be the female lead. I don’t think so. Darlene just wants to give the
copyright to Gustave.
The movie is already being filmed, but Darlene sold the copyright. Does Darlene want everyone to laugh at the Gallard Group?
The movie doesn’t start being filmed but the author sold the copyright of the TV series. The media will report it and there will be
many people discussing it.

Avery was angry. He said, “It’s not a selling contract. Isn’t it more like a contract about how you give the copyright to Gustave?
It was written on the contract that you would use the money you get from selling copyrights to invest in filming. Maybe Gustave
just wants to show his kindness by giving you the check, right?”
Avery sneered. Avery stared at Darlene and said, “I didn’t expect that your relationship
would be so close.

“Are you going to be free labor to help him choose actors?”
Darlene took back the contract and the check with a cold face. “It has nothing to do with
you.”
Just as Darlene reached out to take the contract and the check, Avery reached out and threw those things to the ground.
“Darlene, when do you know what shame is?”
The contract was smashed to the ground. The edge of the paper hit Darlene’s ankle. She shrank back in pain and felt that
something was wrong with Avery.
Avery grabbed Darlene’s arm and walked out. “You need me to remind you. Then I will remind you again.”
Darlene was dragged out by Avery. It was still early. There were not many patients in the corridor. Darlene reached out and
grabbed the door. “Let me go. I will stay here with Grandma. If you pull me again, I will call for help.”
Avery turned around and pulled Darlene’s hand away from the door. He continued to
walk toward the end of the corridor.
Avery said, “Just call for help. Your grandmother is in the ward next door. Call her out. Then, she can see clearly what kind of
situation her granddaughter is in.
“Think carefully. Now that you have been diagnosed with a psychological illness, no
one else has the right to take care of your grandmother, including you.”

Avery slowed down his steps and reminded Darlene in a low voice, “Psychological
patients can’t take care of themselves, let alone take care of others.
www.
“Darlene, your grandmother is old. If you are sure that she can hold on, just call her.”
Avery dragged Darlene into the elevator. They went to the underground garage. Then, Avery pulled Darlene into a car.
Avery could not suppress his anger. He thought that returning to Scenery Villa and Southwood Villa would cost too much time.
So, Avery drove directly to a nearby hotel.
In the lobby of the hotel, the manager on duty was checking the accounts with a girl at
the front desk. They suddenly saw Avery pulling Darlene in.
Avery did not say a word. He entered the hotel lobby and headed straight for the
elevator.
Darlene had a bad premonition. Along the way, everyone thought that Avery and Darlene were just a couple. No one was willing
to pay any attention to Darlene’s request for help.
The young lady at the front desk saw that something was wrong and immediately said, “Sir, Madam, please show your driver’s
licenses first and register here.”
Darlene anxiously said, “I don’t know him.”
Avery did not respond. He directly took out the room card from his wallet and swiped it
in the elevator.
The receptionist saw that something was wrong and immediately wanted to follow them to stop Avery.
The more the manager looked at Avery, the more he felt that Avery looked familiar.

Suddenly, he remembered something. He opened the company’s official website from the computer and looked at the photo. The
manager immediately reached out and grabbed the young girl.
“Why are you in such a hurry? That’s the boss. How dare you go and stop him?”
The young girl paused and was a little skeptical. “Ah?”
The manager looked in the direction of the elevator. This was the first time he had seen
Avery. The manager said, “Do you see the card in his hand just now? If there are 100
hotel elevators and rooms in Baltimore that need a card to open, the card in his hand.
can be applied in at least half of them.”
The
young girl was even more suspicious. “Really?”
The manager didn’t know if it was true or not, but that was probably what he meant. He reached out and pulled her over. “Alright,
continue your work. As a receptionist at the front desk, you should be sensitive to any kind of situation. With your performance,
you may lose your job at any time.”
The young girl nodded her head repeatedly, still feeling fear.
The elevator stopped on the top floor. They walked out of the elevator and there was no one in the wide corridor.
Darlene was dragged into a room by Avery. Darlene was thrown onto a bed. Darlene felt that her vision was a little dark.
