Yuliana spoke as she carried a sweet smile on her face.
Her voice also had a fawning tone to it.
She put on a flattering and tender appearance in front of Gregory. In addition to that, Yuliana was gorgeous as well. If not for that reason, her father would not have disregarded her poor behavior so that he could send her to please the men in the business field.
It showed that Yuliana must have had good looks.
If it were another man, they would have been charmed by her beauty if they were in the same situation and moment.
However, Gregory had only looked at her coldly.
His eyes were emotionless as they ridiculed her. It became an embarrassing situation for Yuliana.
He said without emotion, “Have all the chefs in the castle died? You want me to eat your cooking?”
Yuliana stayed silent.
It was the first time she had heard anyone saying something this ruthless to her. She had almost lost control of her feelings at that moment.
After all, anyone who has done their best to please another person would have felt embarrassed as well if the other person rejected their advances mercilessly.
However, Yuliana had experienced so much during this period.
Her mentality was significantly different from her arrogant appearance.
That is why that embarrassment had only lasted for a while before she suppressed it.
She put the food on a table nearby and smiled. “It’s fine if Mr. Graham doesn’t want to eat my cooking. I only have one request from you. If you agree to it, then you could ask me to do anything as well, alright?”
Gregory looked at her coldly.
Yuliana slightly lowered her head, her fingers were crossed tightly in front of her. After a while, she said, “What I told you just now was serious. If you send me back to China, then my father would force me to marry someone else.”
She continued after pausing for a moment, “Mr. Graham has been at the top since you were young. Maybe that is why you don’t understand the ordinary struggles of girls like me. You need to know that for girls like me, marriage is equivalent to changing our lives.
“I want to be like an ordinary girl. I want to go to school, work, and live my own life ordinarily. I want to do whatever I please. I don't want to be forced to marry another man who is old enough to be my father at such a young age.
“Maybe this is a chance for the other girls to climb up the social ladder. However, this is not the case for me.
“I can do anything for my family, but that doesn’t include sacrificing my life and romance. Mr. Graham, I am begging you. Please help me! Is that okay?”
Gregory remained calm and collected.
He sat on his sofa with his long legs crossed as he leaned on the back in his seat. This made him seem like an unapproachable person.
The words that came out of his mouth were cold as always.
“Why should I help you?”
It was not as if Yuliana did not predict his answer.
However, it still hurt when she heard it from him in real life. Her heart dropped as she felt incredibly embarrassed.
She said, “I can do anything that Mr. Graham wants me to do! As long as it is something that I can do.”
Including… devoting herself to him.
She did not say that out loud, but Gregory somehow managed to guess what was going through her mind.
Gregory’s eyes began to ridicule her even more as he laughed coldly. “Then tell me, what help do I need from you?”
Yuliana froze in place.
Even though she came here with the idea to devote herself to him, how could he ask a girl like her to tell him the truth out loud?
If what Gregory said before was a little bit harsh, then this sentence was a tight slap across her face.
Yuliana immediately raised her head and looked at Gregory with disbelief. She did not want to believe that he was the one who said such horrible words.
After all, Gregory saved her. He was the one who brought her out from the abyss.
Now, he even wanted to send her back to China.
She thought that even if he disliked her, he should still like her even a little bit. That is why he helped her.
However, he even said…
Yuliana bit her bottom lip in shame. Her sparkling eyes turned red in an instant, and tears welled up as if they could drop at any moment.
After a while, her voice quivered as she held in her shame and asked, “Then why did you help me? If you dislike me, why do you want to send me back to China? Wouldn’t it be easier to just throw me out of the castle and let me fend for myself?”
Gregory sneered. “If you want to, I can throw you out right now, do you want to try?”
Yuliana was speechless.
Gregory was still playing with the ring on his finger as he spoke in an indifferent tone, “I saved you purely because you are from China as well. If I made you misunderstand then I apologize. You aren’t qualified to become Madam Graham at the moment, as for a woman with no title.”
His reckless gaze observed her whole body as if it was looking through her.
In reality, she also felt as if she was getting looked through.
He then laughed coldly. “I am not interested in playing with someone else’s used toy.”
Boom!
His words were just like lightning piercing through her heart.
