“Can you really do it?”
“Yes, trust me,” Johann said firmly.
“Can… can I trust you?”
Edith leaned against the chest of the man she loved and felt the temperature of his body. They were like injured hedgehogs, snuggling tightly together.
She was not heartless. How could she not be tempted when she heard these words?
The Lawson family was like a cage to Edith. She dreamed of leaving there.
But could she really trust Johann? Could he really cut off all ties with Vanessa?
Hearing this, Johann swore, “If I continue to be intimate with Vanny and hurt Edith, let me die a horrible death and never get true love.”
Tears welled up in Edith’s eyes when she heard this. It took her a long time to nod.
The moment Johann saw her nod, he immediately lifted her up happily and spun her around.
Edith was happy from the bottom of her heart. It had been her dream for many years to marry Johann.
At this moment, a car silently came to the gate of the building.
In the car, Carlos’ expression was very ugly.
The atmosphere in the car was very heavy and depressing. Sam became cautious. He looked out of the window at the two people snuggling tightly together. They were obviously a couple.
Carlos had just returned to the country, and he asked Sam to take a detour here to have a look. Obviously, Carlos was thinking about his lovely “wild cat”, and he didn’t expect to see such a scene.
Sam thought, “Oh no. Mr. Lawson is unhappy. I’m going to be unlucky today.”
When parting with Edith, Johann said that he would negotiate with the Lawson family and asked Edith to concentrate on her work and wait for his good
news.
Edith had been smiling, and she couldn’t hide her happiness. Sarah saw through her mind at once.
Edith didn’t hide the truth and told Sarah everything, but Sarah kept shaking her head, which made Edith feel depressed in an instant.
Sarah said, “The Davis family is nothing compared to the Lawson family. Johann may not succeed. You… have to make plans.”
As soon as these words came out, Edith had no choice but to face the fact.
Yes, who else in Caurtine could negotiate with the Lawson family other than those big families?
It was a fight doomed to failure.
But Edith would not give up. She could not give up her happy life just like that. She had to give it a try. Besides, this was her last chance.
She took a deep breath and said, “Johann and I will try our best. We won’t give up on each other.”
Seeing Edith’s determined look, Sarah knew that she couldn’t persuade Edith. If Johann gave up on Edith again, she would break down.

In the evening, Robert called Edith, saying that Carlos had returned from his business trip and would have a gathering with his friends. This time, they would go to a karaoke bar. Robert asked her to join them after work.
Edith wanted to fawn on Carlos and ask him to help her, so she agreed.
After work, she immediately took a taxi over.
The colorful lights in the private room were spinning quickly. The people inside were singing, playing dice, and drinking. It was very lively.
As soon as Edith came in, Robert immediately picked up the microphone and greeted her warmly. “Hey, our cute girl is here. Come to my side. It’s been a long time since I last saw you.”
Hearing this, Teresa could not help rolling her eyes grumpily. She hit Robert’s chest coquettishly and said, “I’m still here. How dare you be so blatant!”
“Haha, I don’t have the guts to flirt with Carlos’ woman.”
Unable to resist Robert’s enthusiasm, Edith was pulled over. Before she could stand steadily, Robert made her sit down next to Carlos.
Carlos was drinking brandy, and he didn’t even spare a glance for Edith as he said coldly, “Who brought this outsider here? She spoiled the fun.”
He emphasized the last sentence in a nasal tone. It happened to sound through the whole room while the singing paused.
The atmosphere instantly became strange.
