Chapter 2

　　"Jeffrey, if you hate me, why do you want to marry me?" 　　This is what Maureen has been unable to figure out. When she was put in the detention center and was about to be sentenced to jail, Jeffrey appeared inexplicably, released her on bail, and then led her straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau. 　　Their marriage is just a certificate. On the afternoon of the day when they got the marriage certificate, he took the flight to the United States to comfort himself. Until today, three months later, he appeared like a ghost. 　　"Maureen, you're proud of yourself for being smart, how come this question is so stupid?", Jeffrey glanced at her contemptuously and then unlocked the bathroom door. 　　The people waiting outside in the pit saw a man and a woman inside and suddenly showed a mocking expression. But Jeffrey said without showing any concern, " I just came here for your sister." 　　Maureen's face was lost. She pulled her ruffled and tattered skirt and ran outside with a twist. 　　There are too many cruel incidents, and what happened tonight definitely hurt Maureen's vitality. Her virginity that had been preserved for twenty-four years was gone, and the torture process was no different from being forced, except for pain. 　　Maureen thought that the accident between her and Jeffrey was nothing more than just wiping the gun and getting rid of the fire. But the unimaginable things that happened next completely refreshed her views. 　　Early in the morning of the next day, the ringing of the telephone that disturbed her dreams awakened her from her sleep. 　　It was a call from the Public Security Bureau. Maureen's father embezzled public funds to buy gold jewelry for her stepmother. He suffered a heart attack that night when he was arrested. Now he was sent to the hospital's ICU. As for the hospital's large amount of medical expenses for emergency treatment and the subsequent operation expenses, they required her to settle it within a day. 　　The unexpected news stimulated Maureen's already tense nerves. Her brain was blank and her pale face was completely bloodless. 　　She hurried to the hospital and looked at her father who was lying on the hospital bed in handcuffs. She was a little unstable and sat limp on the nursing chair. 　　"Doctor, can you save my father first. I will find a way to settle the money." 　　The attending doctor looked embarrassed, "Your father's operation will definitely consume a lot of plasma. If you have no money on your account, and the blood bank will not release the blood, so..." 　　After leaving the hospital, Maureen walked in despair on the street, looking at the bustling city and the noisy streets feeling desperate. 　　With nowhere to go, she gritted her teeth and drove a taxi to the Emperor Group. 　　This is the first time she has appeared in the Emperor as Jeffrey's wife since their marriage. Before she could appreciate the huge business empire under the man, she quickly took the elevator to the president's office on the 18th floor. 　　However, when she knocked on the door to enter, she was shocked to find that Helena was there. 　　In the wheelchair, her innocent face wore a sweet smile. She was not upset by Maureen’s arrival. Instead, she looked like a loved one who had been separated for many years, "Since my sister is here. I will go back first. The doctor said that I have just recovered from my injury, so I can't stand for long." 　　She spoke softly but intentionally or unconsciously raised the injury on her leg. 　　The next moment, Jeffrey glanced at Maureen with a cool gaze, "What are you doing?" 　　"Jeffrey, my father had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital. I was desperate before I came to you, please help me." Maureen seemed to have grasped the last straw and tightened the corners of Jeffrey's clothes.
