Chapter 317 The Last Chance
Fiona tapped Joey's shoulders which shivered out of excitement. He said in a low voice, "OK. Everything has passed. It's the last negative and I return to you so that the demons inside your heart can be eliminated. Live a happy life from now on, please!" When finishing saying, Fiona turned around and stepped away.
For the next few minutes, Joey needed to be alone.
Joey was calm after excitement. She didn't know when Fiona left and just tightly held something in her hand. She was terribly quiet.
Then she opened the file bag again and slowly pulled out the paper... These were photos and videos taken by Ben on that day.
There was no doubt that before Allen got these stuffs, Fiona intercepted them timely. Or, exactly speaking, with the help of the forces of Shawn, Fiona successfully intercepted them.
No wonder that Allen knew nothing when coming to find her.
So that was alright. Anyway Sammy's appearance had already made an absolute rupture between Allen and her. The result had been reached, and relatively speaking, she would rather accept the latter reason but not the thing in her hand which was cruel enough to make Allen broke down and she still wanted to leave a trace of happiness in his heart!
Joey took out a brazier and was ready to throw those stuffs, which made her feel ill at ease for 4 years' day and night, in it. As long as putting fire in it, they would burn into ash. But before ignition, Joey hesitated.
Destroying these things could certainly make her relieved, and bury the past. But they were useful if she kept them. For example, she could add a crime to Allen with these photos as evidence, making him unable to free himself ...
Fiona left Joey's room and then returned to his own room. He thought that Shawn would wait for him before. But nothing was in the room except for Shawn's clothes which had been washed. He didn't find Shawn and maybe he went away after taking a shower. Fiona wasn't disappointed or upset. Here wasn't a foreign country but Shawn's underworld force of concentration. Thus, he couldn't stay with Shawn all the time here and clung to him.
Well, it was also okay. He could finally get some peace.
But as no one was in the room, he felt his mind was empty.
Fiona poured down a glass of champagne and drank it all. As for this question, he didn't want to get deep in this!
However, at this moment, Shawn was in a senior VIP box of the Esme Club.
It wasn't Esme's business hour and Esme didn't receive anyone, except for Shawn.
Because the real boss behind the Esme Club was Shawn.
Of course, Shawn wouldn't be here without reasons. This time, there was another man in the box -- Lawrence Charles!
"I'm very surprised to receive your invitation suddenly. I have no idea why you asked me to come here. I don't think we have anything to talk about."
Lawrence had a cold face. He sat in front of such a gangster godfather as Shawn but never lost an aura of authority.
Lawrence was certainly familiar with a big shot like Shawn. But it was the first time to have a face-to-face talk between them today.
"No, we didn't. But now we have one."
Shawn leaned upon the sofa and propped his feet on the table. He smiled coldly, "Because we had a common enemy -- John Walter."
Lawrence was slightly shocked and then said, "What do you mean?"
Shawn shook his head and said, "Come on. You don't need to feign ignorance in front of me. I could easily know secrets in City A as long as I wanted to know. As far as I'm concerned, your sister Martha Charles will be married with John next month as planned by your parents. You love your sister so much. As her brother, don't you want to do anything?"
Lawrence's face suddenly got long. Shawn's words really hit his heart. He was angry at it and had to admit that he was reluctant to give up.
Seeing Lawrence not saying anything, Shawn continued, "If you love a person, you should be with her bravely. Life is short, which just lasts for decades. Secular perspectives, morality and identities are not as important as how you feel. And inhibition of feeling is really a sad thing. If you are truly a man, then take out your spirit as a man. Yours will forever belong to you and no one can take it away."
These short words fully expressed Shawn's outlooks on life and love. At the moment, he and Fiona were also breaking the bondage of morality and secular perspectives. They went on their own way no matter what others considered.
Lawrence listened to him with burning eyes. What Shawn said had always been what he wanted to do. But unfortunately, when making a decision, he had no courage to take the first step.
During these four years, Martha loved and followed him tightly but he retreated coldly. Thus, Martha finally followed their parents' advice to marry another man. Even though that man was John, an infamous womanizer, she didn't object this marriage.
Only he knew that Martha was giving him the last chance to force him to make a decision.
Stop her from marrying that man and take her away.
Or she married someone else and from then on, Lawrence stayed out of her life.000
