Chapter 216 She Doesnt Want To Stay With You
"So we\'re certain that she went to see Albert."
Seeing the anger on John\'s face, Richard tried to comfort him. "Mr. Shi, Mrs. Lu didn\'t get any useful information. Since she has left..."
"Is that what I care about?" John\'s head swung to face him, and Richard was caught in the other man\'s angry glare.
Even if his little girl did send some information to Albert, Albert still wouldn\'t win against him.
Back when he was becoming successful businessman, Albert was still just a kid who knew nothing.
For a moment Richard thought as though he was standing right in between two realms, one of fire and the other of ice.

He sat on the balcony until late into the night, mulling things over and getting nowhere. Midnight came, and John was still there, the faint howling of the wind his only companion. Many cigarette butts lay scattered on the floor. He had smoked heaps of them.
The cigarette butt that was not extinguished was still between his fingers.
A single spark could start a prairie fire
The spark ignited John\'s reason and gradually burned it to ashes.

John threw the cigarette he was still smoking to the floor, and watched as its embers slowly died.
