Love Is As Light As Water, And One Drowns In It For A Long Time Chapter 1
When she was ten years old, the Haynes Family was insolvent and went bankrupt overnight.
At that time, Beatrice fell in love with the young master of the Dolton Family, Harold, who stepped forward to save her.
She boldly pursued love, but he avoided her with various excuses.
“You want to fall in love with me, huh? Don’t you think you are qualified?”
Because of love, Beatrice accepted all the sarcasm.
But until another woman appeared beside Harold, she realized how stupid she was.
She saw with her own eyes that Harold could drive her away for that woman, spend a lot of money at a charity party to snatch things that should belong to her and even abandon her to save that woman’s life.
Later, Beatrice used the first pot of gold to pay the down payment for a small house in the city farthest from Linkon.
Before leaving, she returned the whistle and her love to Harold.
“I wish you happiness. We will never see each other again in this life.”
Later, she took the initiative to hold the hand of another man.
Harold was panicking. He realized belatedly that the little girl who had always loved him had gone far away.
——
On New Year’s Eve, Beatrice sat in the emergency room and stared at the TV for a long time. Finally, she made up her mind to use the first pot of money she earned from the internship at Dolton Group to lock in the room number of a small apartment in Akso.
After her repeated instructions, the agency agreed to handle it as soon as possible. It only took two months from the deposit to the move-in.
Not long after, she received a call from Nathaniel.
“Miss Haynes, how can you return the deposit for Sunset Villa? This is the best villa area in Linkon. Mr. Dolton personally called to book the king of the building. How can I explain to Mr. Dolton if you are so ungrateful?”
Beatrice’s eyelids trembled and her thin fingers clenched in her sleeves, but her voice was neither hurried nor slow.
“You are not allowed to interfere with my decision and naturally you don’t need to explain it. I will explain it to Harold myself.”
There was a crackling sound from the other side and the signal was blind.
“No. 323, come and get an IV.”
Beatrice was pulled aside by the nurse unexpectedly and simply turned on the hands-free.
But the moment the needle pierced the skin, she heard a noise and laughter from the other side.
“What are you so proud of? You were kicked out for trying to climb onto Mr. Dolton Group bed. This kind of woman is born to be a lowly person.”
Even the sound of breathing could be heard in the emergency room and Beatrice’s whole body stiffened.
She hurriedly hung up the call, as if a stranger had spied on her secret and her face turned red.
She gasped and before she could sort out this frustrated mood, she saw urgent news broadcast on TV.
A rear-end collision occurred on the Ocean Bridge and the victim was Viola, Harold’s secretary.
Beatrice knew that Harold was protective of his shortcomings.
At that time, he held his secretary Viola’s hand tightly and said word by word that he would not let the hateful perpetrator go.
Viola also looked at her hero with a look of fascination.
Because he always appears when she needed him, protecting her without hesitation.
Even the reporters present couldn’t help but start to share the couple.
He looked at the tenderness in Viola’s eyes, which Beatrice was familiar with.
A long time ago, such preference was only for her.
When she was ten years old, her father was investigated and imprisoned for a project payment and owed billions of debts. At that time, the house was sued and sealed and her mother became insane due to mental breakdown. The Haynes Family, a noble family in Linkon, went bankrupt overnight and the debt collectors were eyeing her covetously and she was alone and almost died on the way to being hunted.
At that time, it was Harold who drove away the creditors with a stick and gave her a home and raised her for another ten years.
