Chapter 1859
He crouched down, tapped Ryleigh’s face, and sneered, “Faking a fainting spell? That’s low, even for you.
Ryleigh, is this the best you can do?”
With a dismissive snort, Brodie got up to leave.
Suddenly, Ryleigh clutched at his trouser leg.
Lifting her head, her neck, and her chest bare, she pleaded through clenched teeth, saying, “Mr.
Moreno, just give me one more chance.
I’ll prove myself…”
“Hahaha,” Brodie sneered.
“You failed tonight.
Do you really think you can win Bryson over now?”
Upon hearing this, Ryleigh’s pupils contracted, and her eyes filled with tears.
“Mr.
Moreno, please… please grant my wish.
”
As she wept, Brodie yanked his trouser leg away with a Look of disgust.
“Ryleigh, I gave you your chance tonight.
”
He glanced at the extinguished incense on the ground and said, “This drug is costly.
It was utterly wasteful to use it on you.
You’ve become useless to us.
The Moreno and Hopkins families will end their collaboration.
And you.
.
”
Brodie bent down, lifting Ryleigh’s chin with his slender finger, his expression mocking.
“You don’t belong at Mitchell Group and certainly don’t deserve the Moreno name.
”
“I… Mr.
Moreno, I admit my mistake.
I’ll do anything if you give me another chance.
”
His eyes narrowed, shining with an odd light.
After a moment, he released her chin and gazed down at her as she knelt before him.
“If I’m not mistaken, the Hopkins family doesn’t have significant business in Salisbca, except for one up-and-coming project.
” Brodie said slowly, “If the Hopkins family relinquishes this project, I might consider sparing you.
”
“No! Mr.
Moreno, please no.
” Ryleigh shook her head frantically, pleading, “Please have mercy on me.
”
Even Ryleigh understood that the Hopkins Group’s future hinged on this project.
If she conceded it to Brodie, it would spell disaster for them.
“Don’t beg me.
” Brodie raised his eyebrows and fixed his gaze on her.
“The choice is yours to make.
I don’t want to target the Hopkins family.
I’ll give you one more chance to win over Bryson.
If you miss this chance, don’t hold it against me if I show no mercy.
”
Brodie turned and walked away, leaving Ryleigh frozen on the floor.
“Mr.
Moreno…” Her Lips quivered as she called out.
Brodie paused but didn’t look back.
“Ryleigh, you better take advantage of this chance, or…”
His voice carried a menacing tone.
Ryleigh’s hands clenched tightly as she whispered, “Mr.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Moreno, I… I understand.
”
“Well, I hope you won’t let me down again,” Brodie said casually and departed.
The room fell dark once more.
