Chapter 74: Chapter 74

Barbara Jones walked into the dining hall and saw Ellis Jones sitting in a daze from afar.

After not seeing her for three years, Ellis Jones was still the same as she remembered. She was soft and weak, as if she could be blown away by the wind.

Barbara Jones walked towards her. When she was still a few steps away, Ellis Jones raised her head and looked at her. Then she said, “long time no see, Barbara.”

"Indeed." She hadn't expected that she could be so calm when she saw Ellis Jones after many years. It was as if the person in front of her was not the one who troubled her three years ago.

Ellis Jones said, "I ordered your favorite dishes, crabs, shark's fin, fried cucumber sauce, and …."

"I've already had lunch." I thought you wanted to tell me about mom. Just tell me directly." Barbara Jones interrupted her mercilessly.

Seeing Ellis Jones was disappointed, she did not regret at all. That year, Ellis Jones had knelt on the ground and apologized to her with such a wronged expression, but what happened afterwards? The matter was already over, and Barbara Jones was not willing to think about it.

But no matter how hard she tried, Barbara could not forget the terrible things that Ellis Jones had done.

"Father told me to come and find you this time."

Now that Barbara Jones didn't want to hear nonsense, so Ellis Jones said directly."Huh!"

Barbara Jones sneered. Father? She had almost forgotten that she still had a father.

Ellis Jones then said, "father hopes that you can came back to the Capital City, and stop wandering around outside.

"What else?" Barbara Jones asked coldly. She had been away from the Capital City for three years, but no one had asked about her. Now that Clare Smith had come to look for her, her so called father also wanted her to go back. And she could know what was going on just by thinking about it.

"Barbara." Ellis Jones pursed her lips, and tears of grievance immediately welled up in her eyes. "I lost my baby, and I can't give birth to children any more from now on. I can't give birth to the children of the Smiths any more."

"So he wants me to go back? You want me to give birth to a child for the Smiths?" Barbara Jones said these words calmly. She seemed calm, but her heart still ached.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, that person was still her father. She had wished her father to love his wife and daughters like other fathers did, and live their lives happily, not to fight for fame, not to ignore his wife and use his daughter as a tool.

Barbara Jones knew that when Ellis Jones had sex with Clare Smith and even had a child, her father should have known that. They were all daughters of their own family. It was okay no matter who would marry Clare Smith.

The aim was achieved as long as there were stable connections between the Jones and the Smiths. Although she and Clare Smith had an engagement, there wasn't any substantial progress because she was young and busy.

Her father had even hinted for her to do what a husband and wife should do with Clare Smith earlier so that she could win a man's heart firmly.

Barbara Jones had her own thoughts, and she also believed that if the relationship between them were maintained through physical means, then how far could that relationship develop?

Ellis Jones got pregnant after returning to their country, which was an extremely good news for their father.

Once Ellis Jones gave birth to the child of Clare Smith, the relationship between the Jones and the Smiths would be strengthened. Then who would underestimate the Jones in the future?

So in the end, when they told her to cancel her engagement with Clare Smith and allow Ellis Jones to marry with Clare Smith, her father said, “why are you so useless? As a woman, you can't even have children.”

Now that Ellis Jones lost her child and couldn't be reborn, then their father had set his sights on her Barbara Jones again.

Just the thought made her feel extremely disgusted. Barbara Jones said, "please go back and tell him that he should never think about having any ideas about me. I, Barbara Jones, have never had a father like him."

Ellis Jones said in a gentle voice, "of course, I know that you have always been a strong and independent girl.”

Ellis Jones was extremely clear about Barbara Jones's personality. Barbara Jones had a strong temper, and could not stand anything that was bad. She could even say such words about giving up her father, let alone Clare Smith who betrayed her.

The reason why Ellis Jones dared to have sex with Clare Smith was because she knew that once Barbara Jones knew that Clare Smith had betrayed her, she would definitely not forgive him. It was because Ellis Jones understood Barbara Jones's decisive personality so well that Barbara would definitely not listen to her father's arrangements to return to the Capital City with her.

This was why she came to the Barcelona to advise her. Rather than saying that she was here to advise Barbara Jones to return, it would be better to say that she was here to confirm Barbara Jones's thoughts.

As Clare Smith's fiancee, she couldn't have children. She could let any woman give birth to children for Clare Smith, but that woman definitely could not be Barbara Jones.

If Barbara Jones was asked to return to the Capital City, and return to Clare Smith's side, then how would Clare Smith be able to pay attention to Ellis Jones?

Clare Smith had treated Barbara Jones well, so her father could only see Barbara Jones, too. And then there was no place for Ellis Jones.

The things that Barbara Jones had experienced three years ago might well become a portrait of her in the future. She wouldn't let Barbara Jones return to the Capital City.

Barbara Jones knew that Ellis Jones must have something to say, so she did not ask. If Ellis wanted to say, she would listen and if Ellis did not want, she would not be interested to know it.

Ellis Jones took out the bag that was placed on the chair, and showed the bag's LOGO deliberately to Barbara Jones. It was a luxury brand. A small bag was worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Then, she looked at the bag on Barbara Jones's back. It was something that could be bought with a few hundred dollars from some unknown brands in the country. It was very popular.

Ellis Jones played around with it for a while, then took out a bank card from her bag and placed it on the table, giving it towards Barbara Jones.She smiled and said, "Barbara, there is five million dollars in this card. Five million dollars is enough for one person to live in a small city and buy a house. If you save up a bit, you can live a lifetime without working."

So it turned out that Ellis Jones's real purpose in finding her was to let her take the money and leave Barcelona.

Barbara Jones found it really funny, and also laughed gently, "Ellis Jones, do you want to send me off with just five million dollars?"

Ellis Jones was startled. She blinked her eyes, and pretended to be innocent and helpless as she looked at Barbara Jones.

Barbara Jones continued, "If I were to return to the Capital City and give birth to a child for Clare Smith, the Smiths would not treat me so unfairly. If Clare's father had been happy, he might have given his grandson shares of the Smith Group.

At that time, as a mother, I would have to rely on my own son. Do you think I would cherish the five million dollars from you?"

She, Barbara Jones, could also do such disgusting things, which were much more disgusting than Ellis Jones had done.

"Barbara, how can you…" Ellis Jones could not smile anymore. She bit her lips and looked like she was about to cry.
