Chapter 808 Besotted

Gregory Graham could never forget the way she looked at him at that moment. Before that, she loved him as much as her own life, and after that incident, she only saw him as a lifelong enemy. She used to gaze at him with happiness and brightness before. Later, there was only anger and hatred when she saw him. That cold, emotionless look as if she was looking at a stranger was something he would never forget in his life and would never want to see again. Gregory's hand suddenly softened. Yuliana Lynch fell back onto the sofa. It felt as if she had just escaped danger. She immediately covered her throat and coughed violently. The man looked at her coldly. His gaze had no warmth and fell on Yuliana like a cold knife, which made her feel restless. She turned her back to him and lowered her body. She did not dare to look him in the eyes. A bad premonition arose in her heart and she felt that she might not be able to get away with it. Just as she was considering what it would take to get Gregory to forgive her and let her go, the man suddenly spoke. "You just said...that you love me very much?" Yuliana was slightly stunned. She raised her head and looked at him with some confusion. Although she did not understand why he asked this, as long as there was the slightest chance, she would grab it without hesitation. Therefore, she nodded her head and said eagerly, "Of course! I love you the most. If I didn’t love you, why would I have worked so hard to stay?" Gregory smiled slightly. That handsome and crisp face suddenly lost all its anger, and in its place was a cold, scheming playfulness. Gregory walked over to the other sofa next to him and sat down. He probed lightly. "Oh? How much do you love me? Will you live for me or die for me?" Yuliana froze. Of course, she had not considered the matter of life and death. A person like her was just an ordinary girl before she met Gregory. No matter how much she loved or liked the person, it was only a matter of being willing to bear a child for the other person, so how would her life and death be involved? However, at that moment, Gregory had intentions of letting her go, so she could not deny him at such a crucial point. Thus, she nodded incessantly. She tilted her head and looked up at him with an incomparably adoring gaze. "Of course I'm willing! As long as it's something you need, as long as it's something I can do, I'm willing to do it for you!" "Oh really?" Gregory laughed lightly. "Tsk...that love-struck, huh?" He just leaned back against the sofa. His posture was calm and reserved. He crossed his long legs and placed his two hands on the armrest of the sofa, then periodically tapped on the armrest with his slender fingers. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "In that case, I do have a matter for you to take care of." Yuliana was stunned. She looked at him dazed. "What is it?" Gregory smiled slightly and said, "Do you still remember Mr. Flinders that you met before?" Yuliana nodded and said, "I remember." "He's very interested in you. I want you to take care of him for me the next time he comes over." Yuliana's face changed. She was somewhat pale. Take care of him? What did that mean? Was he giving her away? That...Mr. Flinders? She realized what was happening and the blood on Yuliana's face drained. Her gaze for him went from affectionate to incredulous. "Gregory Graham, you…” She felt somewhat humiliated. After all, even if she was unbearable, she was still not reduced to become an object that could be sent around. However, she could only say his name and nothing else followed. Gregory said in a deep voice, "There’s no need to feel aggrieved. I’ve already told you. We both know what you’re thinking, so there’s no need to pretend to be confused. "Although Shimon Flinders is a bit older, he’s still considered to be in his prime. In terms of status, he’s certainly not below me, so you’re not at a disadvantage if you follow him." His words trailed off and the room fell into a stifling silence. Yuliana only felt that she had never in her life met a person as calm and repulsive as Gregory. He did not want her, so he gave her away to someone else and kicked her heart out the door. What did he take her for? Yuliana's heart was desolate. She did not think that since the very beginning, Gregory had never said that he liked her, much less accepted her. Everything was just her wishful thinking. With tears in her eyes, Yuliana lifted her head and looked at him with a hurtful glance. Her eyes were dismal as she sobbed. "So in your eyes, I’m just such a person? You think that I only like you because you're in a position of power? Gregory, how can you think of me in that way?" Gregory saw her act and felt a little annoyed. His patience was also exhausted bit by bit. He sneered. "It doesn't matter what I think of you. If you’re not willing, I'll just get someone to send you back to China tomorrow. That’s all I can do for you. After you return to China, I won’t send you to your father. The world’s so big, you should have someplace else to go. This should be fine, right?" Yuliana was slightly startled. Her face changed a few times. Gregory looked at her with a seeming smile and continued, "I'm not interested in you. You should know this by now since you’ve already tried. You can’t stay by my side. Now, there are two paths for you to choose from. I’ll only give you 10 minutes to think about it. After 10 minutes, if you haven't given me an answer, I'll send you back to China. How about that?" Yuliana's face was as pale as paper. She could not help but feel hatred for him as she saw his smug face. Yuliana had always been proud and self-absorbed. Even though she had only lived for a mere 20 years or so. She came from a good background. Her family was wealthy and she had grown up as the apple of her parents’ eyes. Even if she later encountered an unfortunate incident and was humiliated, it still did not destroy her self-esteem. She thought, proud as she was, that if she wanted to, she could obtain anything. However, the man in front of her was so cold and heartless. He was like a metal plate that was unaffected by water. Even though she had lowered herself and begged him desperately, even used her body to keep him, he still discarded her with a flick of his hand and did not even bother to look at her. Yuliana's heart trembled violently. When Gregory saw that she did not speak, he was in no hurry, so he just sat there and waited in silence. From the very beginning, when he met Yuliana, he felt that this woman looked a bit familiar as if he had seen her somewhere before. He did not think much about it because he was never bothered about any woman other than Vickie Thomas. Not to mention that she looked familiar, even if he knew her, he would not think about her. However, after they returned to the chateau, there was a time when Yuliana presented herself to him.
