A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 806 I Cannot Figure Out What He Is Thinking

"I won't buy this land!" Marley said in a tough tone.

Sylvie heard them quarreling when she came in.

"As far as I know, the money wasn't returned to the Mccarthy family, but it was deposited into Sylvie's account!" Ernie said in a deep voice.

Marley raised his eyebrows and did not deny it. "So what?"

"What do you mean?" She was confused.

"The Mccarthy family lent Hughes Group 1.5 billion. Some of the money is in your account!" Marley remained calm. "Cassius said that the money was at your disposal."

"Well!" Sylvie was surprised since she didn't know it.

"You don't read the proposals?" Ernie looked at Marley thoughtfully.

"Hughes Group need to reposition itself. It has suffered great loss in real estate. Moreover,

Ernie stood up, grabbed the proposal, turned around and squinted at Sylvie with two pieces of paper in his hand.

He rarely had such an expression. He remained calm and a cold smile touched his lips. He just stood there with an aloof gaze, and made others feel at a loss.

Sylvie felt guilty when he stared at her.

She saw Ernie clench the paper and the veins on his hands stood out. She subconsciously looked at Marley. Today, Ernie seemed to be very serious and made a proposal. But when Ernie and Marley got together, the tensions between them were high.

"Marley, why don't you read Ernie's proposal?" Sylvie was stunned for a moment and spoke.

Marley frowned in an instant.

Ernie looked at Sylvie softly. He didn't turn around and put on a self-mocking smile with the proposal in his hand. "No need. Forget it."

With that, he tore the paper into pieces, threw them into the trash can, and strode away.

Looking at his back, Sylvie suddenly felt that she could not understand Ernie!

Only she and Marley were left in the room. Marley looked at Sylvie with deep affections. Sylvie had no idea what he was thinking about! When Sylvie looked at him, his eyes were full of mixed feelings.

"Marley." She called tenderly.

"Sylvie, you are very worried about Ernie!" Marley was sure about it and said in a clear voice.

She paused and avoided eye contact. She went went to the trash can to pick up the proposal that was torn by Ernie. She murmured. "Maybe you should read his proposal!"

"Do you think I'm trying to avenge myself?" His smile grew more bitter. "Am I narrow-minded?"

"No!" Her face was burning with heat.

"Take it to me!" He suddenly lowered his voice and sighed helplessly.

He felt pains in his heart as if it was stabbed by a knife and even felt it hard to breathe. Seeing the distress in Marley's eyes, Sylvie suddenly felt she shouldn't have interfered in his decision making.

"I'm sorry, Marley!"

"It doesn't matter!" Marley smiled and comforted her, "Give it to me!"

Sylvie gave that document to Marley, and he read it carefully.

Marley had been reading that proposal in the past half an hour. The coffee that Sylvie put on his desk turned cold, but he didn't take a sip. She sat on the sofa and threw glances at him from time to time. He frowned and fell into deep thoughts.

After a long time, he leaned against the office chair with his eyes closed. Sylvie looked at him secretly, pondering whether or not to ask him.

When she was about to speak, he said, "Sylvie, what do you think if I let Ernie be the president?"

She got up and went over, a little worried about him. "What's the matter?"

He reached out and took her hand. His fingertips were very cold, so she felt cold and at a loss when he touched her hand. She looked at his straight face, felt sympathetic with him, and whispered, "Why do you have such an idea?"

He was silent for a moment, stared at the shredded papers on the table, and said, "I am fine! Read this proposal!"

She was at a loss for what to say. It was clear that he didn't want to tell her, so she could only keep silent and take that proposal.

She took it, sat on the sofa and read it. Ernie's proposal was so perfect that she felt it incredible. She was ill at east at the same time.

Marley added, "Do you see any problem?"

His voice was very low. He didn't look at Sylvie. Sylvie turned around. She felt something went wrong, but she couldn't tell it.

"The plan is perfect. However, the input is very large. Hughes Group may be pushed to a new level or perish. From the perspective of businessmen, his proposal is very attractive. Profit maximization is what heads of all groups pursue, but larger profits mean higher risks!" Marley analyzed calmly.

"Do you worry that Ernie might destroy Hughes Group?"

"I don't know!" Marley shook his head. "I don't understand him!"

"You mean the scheme would be perfect if he had no evil intentions?"

"I can't persuade myself to trust him!" Marley pursed his lips. "Do you think I should trust him and buy this land? Sylvie, you make a decision for me, okay?"

Sylvie stared at Marley and felt it unbelievable.

He wanted her to make a decision?

"Marley!"

"Sylvie, I will trust him as long as you trust him!" Marley spoke faintly.

Sylvie was thinking and stood up suddenly.

Marley was a bit nervous.

Sylvie was worried about Ernie, because just now he put on a self-mocking smile with sadness in his eyes.

"I don't believe he will destroy Hughes Group!" Sylvie hesitated for a moment and spoke.

Marley put on a self-mocking smile. He was not surprised that Sylvie would trust Ernie, but she felt a little disappointed after hearing that.

"I'll buy that land!" Marley said calmly and indifferently. He seemed to be estranged from her. Though they were close to each other, Sylvie felt that he was far away from her.

As he calmly turned on his computer and went about his business, she felt uneasy. She made such a decision, what if…?

How could she be sure that Ernie didn't have some evil intentions?

Then Ernie's tears came into her mind, she felt pity for him. After pondering for a long time, she looked at Marley and said, "Marley, did you deposit the money that should be returned to the Mccarthy family into my account?"

"Yes!" Marley nodded. "It's only part of it. The funds of Hughes Group haven't been returned totally. I will have the money deposited!"

"My grandpa said that the money was at my disposal?"

"Yes!"

"Would you mind…?"

He looked up at her, waiting for her words.

"You let Ernie develop this project with the money!" She looked at him and said with hesitation. If Ernie really had some evil intensions, she would be the one that suffered losses, since the money belonged to her. She didn't want Marley to be in trouble, but the problem about Ernie should be solved.

Marley looked up at Sylvie with sharp and complex gaze.

Sylvie was a little surprised. She was frank and open-hearted, but she felt a little guilty when meeting Marley's sharp gaze.

"Sylvie, I don't understand you at all! Investment is not a game. You cannot do whatever you want. The money is not a small amount. Your grandpa worked very hard to make the family business flourish!" His lips shivered. He gritted his teeth and didn't continue. At last, he closed his eyes and leaned against the chair. "I will give him special funds. You'd better be on good behavior. I don't hope that you have any ties with him. Just take good care of yourself and the baby!"

Was he angry?

Marley thought she had an affair with Ernie!

She didn't!

She just thought that Ernie would not be so bad. Some people said that he was ignorant and evil, but she had a different idea. She didn't believe that Ernie would destroy Hughes Group.

However, she seemed to have hurt Marley!

"I'm sorry!" Without further explanation, she just felt that it was not right to explain.

She even felt Marley's gaze as sharp as swords. Maybe she shouldn't have come to the company with him. She should have stayed at home. Thinking of this, she walked up to him and said, "Marley, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have given you such advice! I won't come to the office tomorrow, OK? I will rest at home!"

She wouldn't get into trouble if she didn't go out.

"No need!" Marley shook his head, pulled her on his lap. He threw his arms around her waist and buried his head in her neck.

"Marley?" She paused for a long time before she called softly.

However, he held her more tightly in his arms. She froze and couldn't make a move.

His breath was around her. He exhaled the breath into her ear. Her heart beat faster and faster. Her mind went blank and she had no idea what to do next.

"Marley, what happened?"

"You are mine!" He murmured, and held her in his arms, as a timid child found support and a drowning man found driftwood. He was unwilling to let go of her. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She didn't dare to move. Though she felt pains in her bones and couldn't breathe because of his embrace, she just remained still. She was very careful to protect the baby in her belly.

She could feel his hot breath in her ears, faint and seductive, and he did nothing but hold her.
