"You should have heard it clearly."
Isaac's answer was indifferent and distant, as if he didn't say anything to make things difficult for her.
However, only he himself knew how nervous he was at the moment.
He looked at Alaina without blinking and wanted to see her reaction and expression carefully, and he wanted to... listen to her answer.
"No!" Alaina said loudly with an excited look. She rejected him categorically.
Isaac seemed to have expected that she would say this. He just frowned slightly, but he was not particularly disappointed, and he didn't have any other emotions.
Alaina was so mad that her whole body was trembling, and her eyes were brimming with tears.
She looked like a trapped beast that had been cornered. If Issac exerted even more pressure on her, she would have a nervous breakdown.
Isaac couldn't bear it and felt that he was too cruel. He hated such a mean method before, but he not only used it, but also used it on a weak woman. He even loved this woman deeply.
Alaina clenched her fists, but even so, she couldn't help trembling. She raised her head and stared at Isaac, "Mr. Bai, you've gone too far!"
Isaac gently pulled the corner of his mouth and slightly lowered his eyes, accepting what she said in silence.
Alaina hated him so much and kept thinking about other ways.
However, what good ideas could she come up with?
After a long while, neither of them spoke. It was quiet and a little dull in the room. Isaac was irritated in heart, while Alaina felt it terrible.
"Adele..."
As soon as he said this, Alaina said very excitedly, "I said that I'm not Adele! I'm Alaina!"
Isaac gritted his teeth and nodded lightly, "Alai..." He paused for a moment before he said in a trembling voice, "Alaina..."
When he called her by this name personally, he suddenly felt as if his heart had been torn apart by something. He felt so painful that he could hardly breathe.
It was just a name. He knew that what he needed to do was to obey her and make her happy.
However, human- beings were such strange creatures. He knew that he should do this clearly, but he could not control his heart. He always felt that as long as he called her by this name, she would get farther and farther away from him.
"Mr. Bai." Alaina took a deep breath, "I don't know if you want to tease poor people like us deliberately. But no matter what you want to do, I think it's impossible for me to promise you. We poor people can't afford to play with such a rich man like you."
Isaac clenched his fists and forced himself to be cold-blooded, "I don't think that you have the qualification to negotiate with me."
As soon as he said this, his heart ached. He lowered his eyes and no longer looked at her. He was afraid that he would be softhearted when he saw her sad face and give up so easily.
However, he couldn't give up.
If his heart really softened and he really gave up, what should he do?
"Do you think I'm here to play because I have a lot of free time? I can tell you clearly, no! I came here to deal with your brother's affairs on behalf of Elroye. So, naturally, I have the final say in the rules of the game."
Alaina was so furious that her chest ached, "Mr. Bai!"
"What?"
"You..." Alaina gasped for air, "You can't do this!" She tried her best to think of a better statement, and she was totally flustered, "Elroye promised me that as long as I take good care of him, he would consider letting Avon go. You rich people won't go back on your words, right?"
Her hands shivered as she tried to get the phone, "I... will call Elroye right now!" That was right. She had to ask Elroye why he didn't come to deal with this matter on his own, and she wanted to know if it was Elroye who asked Issac to do so!
Isaac frowned and watched Alaina pressing a few numbers. He said blandly, "You don't have to call him. As I said, I'm not here because of boredom. Even if you call him, it will be of no use. Moreover, of couse, we... will keep our words, but I think you should understand what the premise is."
"You're forcing me!" He was forcing her to do something she didn't want to do!
She had wondered why she felt uneasy just now. It turned out that... this was the reason!
Someone in the school called Avon. What they got was not a piece of good news, but a devil who wanted to push her so hard!
"No..." Alaina shook her head desperately, "I... don't want... You can't bully me like this..."
Isaac gritted his teeth and stood up.
He walked to her and glanced at her meaningfully. Then he took out a note from his pocket and put it in front of her, "If you want Avon to finish his study smoothly, I hope I will see you at this place at six o'clock in the evening!"
