Chapter 737 - 673: Lanci’s Cost-Performance Ratio Is Too High_6
The butler sincerely raised his doubts to Christina.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Christina fell into a brief silence.
Seeing that she did not speak.
"On the contrary, the family members whom you despise from the bottom of your heart, are all living comfortably, they have never been as easily influenced by others in their decision-making as you are, haven’t you noticed they are more at ease than you?"
The Rocky continued to ask, his voice still so gentle that it was making one feel drowsy in the sunset.
"I, my situation is different from theirs, but I’m not despising them, definitely not,"
Christina shook her head vigorously in denial to Rocky.
"So the question is, who has been brainwashed, your family members or you? Is there a possibility that the one who is truly abnormal is actually yourself?"
Rocky stared at her as he inquired.
"Brainwashed... is it my family... or me...?"
She stumbled two steps backward, clutching her head.
The scenes she had witnessed growing up, along with the ideologies instilled by her family, the guideposts for her life, were they really correct?
"No, that’s not right."
Christina could feel a cold sweat on her back.
She shook her head violently.
It was as though she was pulling herself back from the brink of a cliff.
If she had really believed him just now, begun to question and shatter her previous cognitive patterns, this composed man would immediately take over her heart!
He opened his briefcase, took out a contract, and handed it to Christina to look at.
"Fifty, fifty thousand pounds."
Christina flipped through the clauses and quickly found that item with the penalty sum clearly written.
She was still in school, nowhere near having saved up that much, and she didn’t yet have a part of the family business like her brother.
If she asked her family for the money, saying it was to dismiss Rocky, the entirely bewitched family members would surely not agree!
The butler took the contract back from the dazed Christina and returned it to the case.
"Well then, Miss Christina, my work for today is done."
Lanci donned his hat, standing sideways in the dusk, his green eyes holding a hint of a smile.
"According to the contract, each family member can use up to an additional two hours of your time every week, and you can also participate in the competition as a Servitor of our family, so you’ll come with me to compete!"
Christina shouted with all the courage she could muster.
She had memorized every bit of information she had seen in the employment contract as best she could.
Although she had never won money in the Huadu Servitor competitions, and Rocky didn’t appear to have any combat ability.
But she just hoped to make Rocky suffer a bit, and then he would take on too much and break the contract on his own initiative.
Even if Rocky might guess her intentions, she had no other choice.
"..."
"Alright then, let’s go,"
Lanci said with a smile.
As long as it was in the contract, he would not go against it.
