Chapter 2 To Negotiate

What? Why did she respond so calmly? Did she accept it? Did he compromise? Where was her haughty style? Hearing such a cold response from Sheryl, he was about to roar in his heart.

She didn't retort as he expected. She didn't even say a word. How could she accept the identity he gave to her?

"Well..." Sheryl looked innocently at the cold man who was looking at her. She paused and found that there seemed to have anger in his eyes? "Don't you feel bad about being hot as ice?" She thought.

"Tell me!" He replied coldly.

"Can you protect me by being your woman?" She had to confirm it. Otherwise, she wouldn't take the risk. After all, her past history with him had not been so happy.

He sneered as if she was an idiot. Was she doubting his ability?

"You know, I'm in trouble now." Sheryl Mu lifted the hair hanging in front of the forehead.

He replied with a sneer to her.

Then she took it as acquiescence. So she gave a sweet smile and asked, "When will you take me away from here?"

"In two days."

He stood up and left.

Seeing his figure leave, Sheryl couldn't help but say, "Gary Lu, back then..." When he heard these two words, he seemed to be frozen. With his back to her, he looked uncomfortable, but his tone was cold. "You should be grateful for the past, or otherwise, you don't even have a chance to choose now."

As expected, he helped her with a revengeful attitude, which made her a little worried.

"Mr. Lu." Seeing that Gary came out of the police station, the special assistant, Jared Bai, walked up to him.

However, he saw that Gary had a cold face, while there seemed to have a slight smile at the corners of his mouth? Was he happy or not?

"Ask the lawyer to follow up on Sheryl's case." He strode towards his black Bentley car and said, "I want her to be acquitted of charge within two days."

Jared Bai's attention was a little distracted. Did Mr. Lu just say...Sheryl? Right, it was not Sheryl Mu, but Sheryl.

It was a subtle expression for a person to only call her family name without her last name.

Seeing that the assistant didn't respond, Gary, who was walking in front of him, pulled a long face and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Jared Bai followed, "Three days? But didn't you say..." He wanted to frustrate Miss. Mu and said that it is better to lock her up for ten days or half a month.

He had only been in the room for about ten minutes, and now he had changed his mind? What an affectionate man!! He even changed the name, directly into the intimate "Sheryl"!!

Gary cast a cold glance at the stupid assistant, and the latter quickly closed his mouth. "I'll do it right away."

"And send someone to find the real murderer." Gary got into the back seat of the car, with eyes unsmiling, "I want everything over in two days."

"Yes, sir!" Jared answered seriously.

Two days after.

Sheryl was free and released without charge. By the way, Gary handed the real murderer to the police.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Sheryl tightened her coat and walked towards the black car parking not far away. The driver opened the door for her, she looked at the man who was busy with his laptop in the back seat, asked, "What should I call you? Should I call you by your name or... others?" Such as Mr. Lu?

"Gary." Gary was typing on the computer and replied without raising his head.

Sheryl Mu was speechless.

Was it opened in the wrong way? If she wasn't sure that she was not deaf and could hear him clearly, she would really think it was an auditory hallucination when she saw his cold face.

Seeing that she was still standing outside the car and didn't get in, he looked up at her and asked, "Is there any problem?"

A faint smile appeared on her face and she shook her head. Of course, there was no problem!

"Gary..." After getting in the car, she tried to call him. To be honest, she really felt strange.

The hand that was typing on the keyboard of the computer froze slightly. He couldn't tell how he felt when he heard her call as if there was an electric shock?

So his face was even colder, and only in this way could he hide his true reaction.

"Are you busy, Gary?" She didn't feel uncomfortable with more shouts. She turned her head...

"What do you want to do?" Gary directly covered the computer, looked at her with an ice-cold face.

"I'm sorry," Sheryl said. Maybe he was afraid that she would see some business secrets?

She had been nice to him since they met last time, but he felt he was a little bit cheap. Dame it! He wanted to see her in the past.

She was the apple of everyone's eye and the daughter of heaven, who was flying freely! She was not the flattering one like now. Yes, it was just that the feeling of flattering made him very uncomfortable.

He had thought of one hundred "lessons" for her, but none of them had been carried out. Seeing her attitude like this, his heart had already melted.

He was so angry!

"You don't have to be like this." He said in a stiff voice.

Sheryl Mu looked at him with confusion, "What?"

"You don't have to fawn on me like this. After all..." he snorted and looked out of the window. "Even if you fawn on me, I won't change my mind!"

Well, didn't he buy it? What should she act?

"What do you want me to do?" She had never held someone else's thigh, so she didn't know how to hold it more firmly.

Hearing her question, Gary smiled sarcastically, "Don't you always look down upon others?"

The atmosphere in the car became cold because of this sentence.

After a long time, Sheryl said calmly, "Well, the situation is different now."

When Gary heard this, his heart ached.

Sheryl Mu seemed to not care much. She explained with a smile, "Since you have caught the murderer, I think they should have a rough idea of what happened this time."

She chuckled, "My family has changed." Who would have thought that her stepmother would take off the mask of tenderness that had lasted for more than 20 years?

And her half-sister, who had the same father but different mother, had seized the opportunity to destroy her without mercy.

Using a video and the testimony of Ron, she was convicted of murder.

Of course, in the previous life, they succeeded.

They successfully sent her to jail, then her reputation was ruined, and she even lost her life.

Thinking of her previous life, she unconsciously clenched her fists. But it should not be too late right now. In her previous life, she hadn't seen her father since she was arrested and released. Ron deliberately lied to her that her father disliked her and didn't want to recognize her as his daughter.

Later, she heard the news of her father's death. Then she knew that her father had an accident since his heart was not good. When he learned of her accident, he immediately fainted and never woke up.

She looked at Gary and said, "Mr. Lu, I want to go home."
