Chapter 6: No Way Back
She nods to excuse for her leave and walks towards the parking lot.
These paparazzies make no plan to let her go so easily. One of them drags her upon her leaving!
Macy Downey is about to walk down the stairs but she gets off balance and falls on the ground directly.
Her ankle feels fiery.
This situation shocks the reporters around her.
That paparazzi who dragged her looks at Macy and shrugs, “You all have seen it. It’s her who lost her
balance. It has nothing to do with me.”
Macy doesn’t say anything but slightly purses her lips. She supports herself with her hands to stand up.
Her blood oozes from her wound on the ankle. She gasps. Her fair skin makes a great contrast with the
gruesome wound.
She resists her pain and goes back to the car. She leaves directly.
Those reporters are all staying where they were. After a while, someone conspues, “Such a thick-
skinned woman. She is still in her vanity and treats herself as a rich princess. What is the point of
faking when she will be bankrupting tomorrow?”
Inside the Penn’s Tower, Yusef Penn is standing by the glass windows in the hall and watches
everything happening outside indifferently. His indifferent expression is difficult to be figured out.
It’s not until he sees Macy leave that he orders, “Drive away those people outside.”
“Alright. Boss.”
…
Macy leaves for the Downey’s directly from the Penn’s.
At present, there are not many employees left in the company but a few loyal experienced ones who
have followed Mr. Downey, Macy’s father, for a long time, and Sunny is one of them.
Macy comes out of the elevator and bumps into Sunny, who is holding a pile of documents. Macy
notices her haggard face.
Macy is a bit worried and looks at Sunny, “What happened?”
“Macy, we have received a call notice from the bank. The bank urges us to repay our loan. If we fail to
do so, the villa you and your mother is living in will be auctioned. How is it going at the Penn’s…?”
Macy has expected the bank would do so considering the news released today. She just
underestimated how speedy the bank was.
Looking at Sunny’s drawn face because of her hard work day and night, Macy doesn’t have the heart to
let her continue suffering. “Sunny, do you remember there was a man called Mr. Zach who kept asking
me out?”
“Do you mean…Manson Zach?”
“Yes, that’s him.” Macy nods, “Sunny, send him a message saying I have time recently and invite him
out…”
“Macy, you can’t do it!” Sunny cuts in before Macy can finish her words. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Mason Zach is a well-known new money. His wealth could not hide the fact that he is poorly educated,
nasty and has a strong lust for women. Who knows what will happen to Macy if she meets him?
Macy certainly understands Sunny’s concern. She insists only because the Downey’s and herself are in
the hopeless situation and she doesn’t want to miss this chance.
The bitterness her heart feels is so strong that Macy can’t distinguish if she is comforting Sunny or
herself, “It’s okay. We have been in the worst scenario. It can’t be worse. Don’t worry, I’ve got it.”
“But…”
“Take it easy Sunny. I know you worry about me, but I am not afraid of anything at this moment.”
It’s bound to be a difficult decision to have connection with Manson Zach, but there is no way around
it.
