Chapter 16 Bradley remained silent . The answer was obvious . The mocking smile on Giselle's face deepened as she lightly touched his chest with her hand . " Since you're planning to marry her , you should get the divorce done as soon as possible . It will save her from wasting her time waiting for you . As for me , I know exactly what I'm doing , and I don't need you to teach me . Even if the divorce isn't finalized , you have no right to interfere . And when the divorce is finalized , you have even less of a right . " With that , she took two steps back , her expression emotionless Her calm demeanor failed to stir even a ripple , yet it was resolute . " Go home , I don't want to be implicated with you anymore , let alone attract trouble for myself . " She had already signed the divorce agreement , but Sarah tried to defile her . If she had any more contact with him , who knew how much trouble she would face in the future ? She had paid off the grudges of the past . If he troubled her further , she wouldn't be so forgiving . However , Bradley naturally didn't leave , his handsome face stormy with anger . In his more than twenty years of life , he had always been lavished with compliments wherever he went . This was the first time someone had labeled him as trouble . And it was Giselle , who had been clingy since childhood ! Unwilling to accept this , he took a step forward , but was blocked by Rocco . " Mr. Ferrell , you should know your limitations . If you already have something on your plate , don't covet what's in the pot . Gigi has made herself clear ; if you persist , it won't end well . " Bradley overlooked Rocco , his gaze falling on the expressionless Giselle , " Are you really unwilling to go home with me ? " Giselle looked up . " Mr. Ferrell , please don't talk to me with such seemingly right but actually wrong words . You know I've liked you since I was a child . I had considerable difficulty in letting go and granting your happiness with Sarah . " And yet , you say those kinds of words to me . Aren't you afraid I'll pester you again ? By then , I think you wouldn't be able to escape this marriage even if you wanted to . Are you willing to spend a lifetime with a woman you don't like ? Going home . What a luxurious phrase . In the first year after being driven abroad , she had hugely hoped for a single shred of emotion from Bradley , expecting him to come get her one day . But no . Absent any way to comfort her , even a call , was there any surprise of him coming home to her ? Only the surprise of him wishing her dead . Memories brought a layer of frost to Giselle's eyes , " Mr. Ferrell , you said that if it wasn't for Grandpa Ethan , you never would have married me . Now you don't want a divorce . Is it fun ? " Bradley's thoughts still lingered on the previous question . For a brief moment , he suddenly felt that it wouldn't matter if she insisted on him like she used to when they were kids . Yet reason struggled against this idea . Until Giselle's words rang in his mind - he had only married her due to his grandfather's force , he should not carry on with what he was unwilling to do . The darkness in his eyes cleared , the hostility disappeared , and his voice resonated low and slow . " Whether we should divorce or not , I have my own judgment . However , I cannot stand by and watch you head towards the wrong path . The Mendoza family drove you away and you need money , but you can come to me . My grandfather watched you grow up . If he were still alive , he'd be disappointed seeing you like this . " Giselle sneered . So , was she sabotaging herself and straying from the righteous path just by having a rich boyfriend ? Indeed , in their eyes , she was an orphan with no parents . The only people she should associate with were thugs on the street . How could she possibly have a friend like Rocco ? Giselle found it amusing to think about , " Mr. Ferrell , according to your line of thinking , isn't spending your money the same as spending Mr. Henderson's money ? Since it's the same , why shouldn't I choose the one who makes me comfortable ? " 112 < Chapter 16 " Giselle ! " The rage that Bradley had just managed to quell was ignited once again by her unruffled demeanor . Unperturbed , Giselle casually cleaned her ears . " I can hear you , both my ears can . " +30 Vouchers People were already starting to leave the CTR building for lunch , and the foot traffic would only increase . Giselle didn't want to prolong their quarrel . He may not care about the embarrassment , but she certainly did . Signing the contract today seemed improbable . If she were to enter the company with Rocco , these two would probably start a fight . She hoped it wouldn't hurt Rocco's hand . She turned her head , speaking to Rocco in a soft voice , " You should go up and apply some ointment first . I have arranged to have lunch with Bethany , and I fear we might be late if we delay any longer . " On hearing this , Rocco said , " I want to join too ! I wanted to ask Miss Ryan if she has any intentions of signing with Radiant Entertainment . Let's go together . " Bradley's gaze swept over , " I don't think she would mind my presence . Recently , the Ferrell Group also wanted to discuss an advertisement endorsement with Miss Ryan . " " Neither of you are allowed to come ! " Giselle was utterly peeved . " If you have work to discuss , then arrange your own meetings . Why mix it up with my meal time ? " After angrily glaring at the two men , she put her sunglasses back on and turned away . The white BMW vanished in a dust cloud . Just as Rocco was about to turn and head back to his company , he was called back by Bradley . " Mr. Henderson , apologies if I've offended you today . Radiant Entertainment is still new in Accreton . If ever there are opportunities where you might need help , please feel free to approach me . I will never refuse . However , I do hope that you can spare Gigi , " Bradley said . 4 With a complex expression on his face , Rocco looked back . His mocking smile filled his eyes which were as alluring as Giselle's . " Sparing Gigi ? Is that something you're telling yourself , Mr. Ferrell ? Besides , how can you be sure that my feelings aren't real ? The entertainment industry is murky . Can't I be the one who remains unblemished ? " Rocco asked . Bradley narrowed his eyes , " By saying this , do you plan to stand against the Ferrell Group in the future ? " Rocco chuckled , unabashed , " Not at all . In fact , it's you , Mr. Ferrell , who elevated a personal issue to a business level . How can you blame it on me ? " The Ferrell Group's main business was in the real economy , and he owned an entertainment company . Nothing about Bradley threatened him . Even if he had to watch out for Bradley in Accreton , he wouldn't back down just because of a few words . How else would he avenge Winnie then ? With a cheerful smile , Rocco added , " Mr. Ferrell , you may look down on me as someone from the entertainment industry , but at least I don't have my eyes on another's plate while I'm having my own food . What do you think about that ? " What an audacious insult directly at Bradley . Bradley's lips thinned . After a moment , he found himself explaining , " Mr. Henderson , my marriage with Giselle was due to the wishes of the elderly . I had no choice but to consent . I sent her aboard to prevent her from harboring false hopes . " Our divorce was just a natural progression . I don't object to remarriage , but she isn't from our circle . Even if you truly have feelings for her , do you believe your family would agree to marry a woman with no background ? " Rocco amusingly stroked his chin , " What you said also seems to make some sense . " A sigh of relief secretly escaped from Bradley's inner self , concealing his emotions behind an unperturbed expression still marked by an elegant demeanor " Since you understand this , I hope that you will not give her unnecessary expectations . I apologize for any previous offense , please don't take it to heart . " Rocco didn't respond , instead pointing towards the skyscraper behind him , " Are we done talking ? I need to get back to work . " Bradley , eyes deep in thought , pondered for a moment , then asked , " Mr. Henderson , I hope you don't mind me asking one last question . I heard that the designer Sylvia intends to sign a contract and collaborate with Radiant Entertainment . Has this been decided ? "
