Chapter 186

"If I just fancy his money, wouldn't ten million will be enough? I want all his property!"

Undoubtedly, Dana was talking out of anger. For those who could hear them now, Dana's words doesn't make any sense. In any case, Alicia believed that she was here for money, so no matter how much she defended herself and her intentions, in her eyes, she was an oportunist woman.

Therefore, the subtext of this sentence is 'I don't look down on your son for ten million. I want Walker himself. He is much more expensive than ten million.'

But she didn't know that just when she was saying this, the recording pen that Alicia had prepared before the conversation under the table was turned on.

The phrase 'I just fell in love with his money' was recorded clearly and unmistakably by her voice.

In the Merchant Villa.

After Dana returned, Alicia also returned to their home. In their Western-style luxurious villa complex, there are many people outside the porch. They seem to be bodyguards and they are like some kind of organization, surrounding the entire villa, as if to resist the invasion of some people or to prevent some people from going out.

In the living room, the two men are confronting each other.

When the door closed, Alicia felt the on-going heated confrontation. She doesn't have to guess and already know that neither of these two has made concessions. Alicia looked at Walker, shook her head helplessly, and sighed.

"Walker..."

The young man had a firm attitude and had no intention of giving in. After all, Alicia is his mother. As a mom, she's naturally is softer than his father. She walked over and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him subtlety. "Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's already late, let your father rest first."

The implication is to let him obey first.

"Then, let those people at the door withdraw." The man's voice was cold.

"Walker, my son..."

Alicia didn't know whether she'll feel heartache or weakness at this moment.

"Your father is also old; do you have to anger him like this? Is his body able to withstand staying up like you?"

It is their usual emotional card that they always use to guilt trip him. The man smiled coldly. "It is he who is fighting with me. If he lets me out, I won't be stubborn."

After all, it is too unpopular to play grounded after adulthood. Alicia saw that her mediation was futile and there was no way for her to change his mind. Lowered her eyes and was silent for a few seconds, she finally took out the recording pen from her haute couture handbag.

"Listen to this yourself."

As the audio plays, the sound of the woman talking is too familiar. The charming female voice comes in with a faint irony. Her voice sounded real, as if the person is right in front of his own eyes.

"I don't even look down on these ten million. After all, Walker has more than a hundred million. I just fancy his money, right? Besides, what is ten million compared to his assets? I want all his property!"

What the girl said less than an hour ago began to be broadcast in the entire villa very clearly. Except for Walter's face which was always loose with no expression and Alicia's face that was full of pain, Meredith's face was getting worse and worse.

At the end of the recording, Alicia looked at him sadly.

"Walker, will you still speak for her now?"

The evidence couldn't be more obvious, making him suddenly laughed sardonically. This action made her feel a little guilty. Alicia only felt that her hand was empty and the recording pen was taken away.

Walker's white hand played with this recorder. After watching it for a few seconds, his thin lips pulled out in a mocking arc.

"In this way, you brazenly challenged my trust in her. Don't you think this is too convincing, Mom?"

After speaking, his hand loosened and the recording pen was thrown into the trash can by him, making a claterring sound, crashing it out of anger.

"You!"

Alicia looked at her son in disbelief and felt that he was going crazy. Choking for a long time, she finally said something. "You doubt your mother and believe an outsider?"

"Dana isn't an outsider!"

Walker interrupted her directly this time, with sharp eyes and unprecedented firmness. He said so much tonight. With only one sentence, it sounded the most serious and heaviest.

"Dana is a woman I will believe for a lifetime, so if you continue to treat her as an outsider, you will treat me as an outsider!"

After speaking, the man turned around and left without looking back.

"If you leave this house today, you can never come back!"

The sound of a broken vase is his response. With fragments that were scattered all over the ground and the debris was splashing, the man's back just walked to the door. Where he walked past, Walker's steps paused and sneered.

"Walker..."

Alicia looked at him with a mist of water in her eyes.

The man just sneered, then walked away.

In the Herbert-Roosevelt Villa.

Dana has insomnia tonight. Since she became pregnant, she has always had a regular schedule of sleeping. But when she just met Alicia today and she heard that Walker won't be back, she felt unsafe and can't sleep.

For their baby's health, she closed her eyes but still couldn't sleep. Laying on the bed, she tried to toss around in hope that she'll find a perfect position ready. Slowly, she behan to feel sleepy. When Dana was about to go to sleep, a dark shadow flashed past her eyes.

She wasn't a cowardly girl, except that she was sometimes afraid of the dark and ghost. Since she couldn't even sleep well alone, her heart thumped wildly from fright.

Tossing over and over again, she felt that there was someone under the bed, someone behind, and someone in the bathroom. After a while, she told herself socialist values, believed in science, and continued to build herself psychologically.

The clock was ticking, slowly syncing into the night. Dana also forgot when she fell asleep and was suddenly awakened by a thunder in the middle of the night. She was so frightened that her eyes widened and her whole body trembled, making her hands firmly grasped the quilt.

All kinds of classic scenes of ghost movies were played in her mind and she always felt that there was someone by the bed. She wanted to see but didn't dare to look at. Suddenly, she felt that the black shadow in front of her flashed again!

"Ahhhh!"

Finally, the girl broke down in emotional outburst. Even the last trace of blood on her face faded and she heard a knock on the door.

"Ahhhhh-"

Knocking on her heart, Dana desperately started screaming.

"Don't come in! Don't come in! Don't come in!"

She can no longer be sure if the person knocking at the door is alone. Holding herself tightly, she started to shrink into the quilt. At the door, the man heard her shrilling scream, frowned in dissatisfaction, but stopped knocking on the door.

"Ahhhh-"

Dana slowly calmed down from the panic. Her screams stopped and she began to gasp. Walker waited for her to calm down and frowned.

"Dana?"

The man had just returned from home and it rained halfway down the road. He didn't bother to call the housekeeper and just got in quietly. Only when I got out of the car, his suit was stained with rain and there was also a little water stain on his black high-end custom-made handmade leather shoes.

Dana wouldn't know how much she had lost her mind when he went out and came back in a rush of rain.

Dana froze slowly, halting from her screams.

'This voice...'

"Walker?"

"It's me."

The man's voice in the deep in the night became more sexy, magnetic, and mysterious.

"Should I open the door now?"

"I.."

Dana pinched herself to make sure that it's not a dream. Besides, even if it is a dream, Walker will not hurt her. Unless, he is a ghost disguised as Walker.

The door opened and Dana was still trembling with fright. When she heard a clicking sound, the man's hand turned on the main light in the bedroom. He heard her scream just now, sounded terrified as if being chased down by a demon, and asked in a low voice.

"What's happening?"

"I'm afraid."

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Dana hesitated to speak and then stopped, biting her lip, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

"But I really saw a ghost just now..."

She saw dark shadows, not just once but twice.

The man listened and smiled like he was entertained at her sillness. "There is no ghost in this world."

After finishing speaking, he walked around and hugged her shoulders from behind, faintly transmitted strength and temperature, making her panicked and rushing heart all at once steady and calm.

"Are you still afraid now?"

Dana closed her eyes and calmed down a lot. She breathed steadily and shook her head in response to his question. "I'm not afraid anymore."

But after a few seconds, Dana seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Aren't you not coming back tonight?"

"Do you hope that I won't be back tonight?"

Dana pouted. "No, your mother said it."

Hearing these words, Walker's face sank slightly.

Dana could feel the sudden silence in the air. The two of them were so quiet for a while before she began to tell what happened earlier. "Uh... I saw your mother today."

"She told me."

"Huh?"

Dana seemed a little surprise.

Her husband's gloomy face didn't change and he began to take off his coat that's been drenched on his body.

'It's raining outside and he came in a hurry.' She glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was early morning.

"You got soaked in the rain. Do you want to take a bath? I'll make you some lemon tea."

Speaking like a thoughtful wife, Dana herself was a little surprised. Since she was with Walker, she has habitually enjoyed her affection, pampering her nonstop, but she has never done anything for him.

Walker was also slightly taken aback when he heard this, but didn't agree, frowning at her offer.

"No, you sleep."

Dana has gotten out of bed at this time. "It's okay, it will be cooked very quickly and you can let me fulfill my obligations as your wife."

Getting up, Dana walked to the bed but before she can get up, her wrist was pulled back.

"What--!" Taken aback, she staggered and fell into the man's arms.

"Hey, Walker, you naught--."

Looking up at him, she saw Walker looking at her with an affectionate smile.

"You have to fulfill your wife's obligations, but this isn't the only one you can do."
