Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 1305: 1305. Ethan White

Originally, Mr. White had saved her, and she was grateful, but the unfounded captivity over the past half month had almost exhausted all her gratitude towards Mr. White.

So much so that when she had just been speaking to him, her attitude was not very good.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at Mr. White and continued:

"Mr. White, I am very grateful for you saving me, but now my family are urgently looking for me. I must return immediately. Please do me a favor and let me leave, okay?"

The man in front of her slightly knitted his brows, and at this moment, his thin lips also traced a hint of an enticing smile, "No."

The word of refusal, coming out of his mouth, was also extraordinarily pleasant to the ear.

However, no matter how pleasant it sounded, the moment Elly Campbell heard his refusal, the anger she had just barely suppressed surged back up.

But recalling her own purpose, and knowing it would not be wise to enrage this person, she managed to suppress her anger again and spoke calmly:

"Mr. White, I really do have urgent matters to attend to, and I’m very grateful to you for saving me. For letting me return this time, the Jones Family will surely give you a generous reward."

"A generous reward?"

Mr. White scoffed disdainfully, his body lazily leaning against the railing. noveldrama

His well-defined fingertips unintentionally tapping on the handrail, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Is it that one billion?"

Contempt filled his eyes.

His gaze fell upon Elly Campbell’s flushed cheeks, his pupils gradually deepening, "Do you think the Young Master lacks this bit of money?"

Hearing this, Elly Campbell frowned immediately.

To others who had saved her, this one billion would definitely have been a princely reward.

But to the man surnamed White in front of her...

Being able to buy such a piece of land in this area and build such a tall building, it was evident that his connections and financial power were not to be underestimated.

And such people, of course, would not care about the one billion reward offered by the Jones Family.

If it were someone else, they might be swayed by money or intimidated by power. However, in front of this man, Elly Campbell genuinely didn’t know how to persuade him.

He lacked neither money nor cared for power, and clearly did whatever he pleased.

Such people usually leave you with no way to deal with them.

Her face was indifferent, silently watching him, and after a while, she said:

"Then I don’t know what Mr. White wants. Whatever the Jones Family can afford, we will give it to you."

"Tch—"

That disdainful scoff arose again in front of Elly Campbell.

Causing Elly Campbell to frown with some distaste.

Seeing him lean a little closer to her, he then slowly bent down. Amidst her guarded look, he whispered in her ear:

"If I said I want you, would you give yourself to me?"

Elly Campbell’s body stiffened suddenly, and her face showed a mix of anger and shame after being humiliated, "You..."

Several low snickers came from beside her ear.

The next second, the man’s smile disappeared, and looking at Elly Campbell, he said:

"I’m just teasing you, truly."

He swept his burning gaze over Elly Campbell from head to toe, scrutinizing her seriously and carefully.

This spotlight-like scrutiny, as if treating Elly Campbell as an object, leisurely admiring her.

This kind of gaze made Elly Campbell very uncomfortable.

"Mr. White, although I am grateful to you for saving me, it doesn’t mean you can..."

"Ethan White."

Elly Campbell’s words were cut off halfway when the man in front of her suddenly interrupted with two words.
