But in front of her table, it was quiet."I don't want it," Ariana said."What do you mean you don't want it? Investor Li is waiting for you upstairs. Room 8808. This is for your father. Don't be selfish," Linda said, smiling but her eyes cold.Chloe sat next to Linda, swirling her own wine. "Sister, don't be like this. Investor Li said he really likes you. He is old but very... generous. He will take good care of you."Ariana laughed. Short, cold."Take good care of me? That 60-year-old pervert?"Linda slammed the glass down. Wine spilled."Keep your voice down! Are you crazy? You will go up. You will toast him. You will make him happy. Then your father's company will get the investment.
