Chapter 437 I Can Help You
“Not really,” shaking his head, Ladarius said. “Don’t forget that you stole the project yourself. I proposed to do a good project at the beginning, but you didn’t understand and insisted on getting involved. Moreover, you were afraid that I would take the credit from you and wouldn’t let me ask. In that case, I just played along and did you a favor!”
Vicente was rendered speechless.
Vicente turned his head away and said, “So today I’m in your hands. What do you want to do? You kidnapped me not for blackmail, right?”
Who would be willing to pay the money for him now? Ingrid might want him to die early. As for his father, even if he was willing to redeem him, it was hard to say whether he could get the money or not. Even if he went out, he still had to go to jail.
Leaning his head against the wall, Vicente felt desperate. A few days ago, he was still in high spirits and had a feeling that the whole world was under his control, but now…
“Of course not for blackmail. How much are you worth now?” Ladarius said with a smile.
Maybe he was a little tired from squatting, he stood up and stretched. “I’m here to save you.”
“Save?” Vicente blinked his eyes in disbelief.
Even if it wasn’t Ladarius, it was he and Ingrid who conspired to hurt Vicente. Now they kidnapped him and trapped him here, but Ladarius said that he wanted to save him. How could it be possible?
“You don’t believe me, do you?” After taking a look at him, Ladarius turned around and walked towards the gate. He opened the iron gate, revealing the light outside. “If you don’t believe me, you can get out of here, I won’t stop you. But you have to think clearly about what you will face after you
“I
go out.”
Looking at the door and then at him, Vicente was full of doubt.
Ladarius opened the door and stood there. He didn’t mean to stop Vicente.
After thinking for a while, Vicente stood up with one hand against the wall and staggered towards the door. He staggered and bumped into the door with little strength. He stopped to have a rest and
took a look at Ladarius again.
Ladarius was still the same. He didn’t move and even waved his hand in the direction of the door, indicating that he could leave,
Vicente gritted her teeth. No matter what Ladarius’ purpose was, it was best for Vicente to leave here.
However, as soon as Vicente walked out of the door, Vicente heard the voice of Ladarius, “You have
to think it over. What will you face after you go out of this door? What will you face in the future?”
Vicente was rendered speechless.
Hearing this, he stopped. He wanted to go out, but he couldn’t move.
Ladarius was right.
What’s the difference between his current situation and going out? He would probably face a trial if he went out. Ingrid had arranged everything. He would definitely be put in jail!
If he was in jail, he would lose everything and have no hope for the rest of his life.
No, he couldn’t go to jail. He couldn’t go out!
Thinking of this, he stopped and leaned against the door. But he didn’t want to turn around to look at the shabby house, so he decided to stay there and face Ladarius.
“What do you want? What do you want to do?” Vicente stared at Ladarius, knowing that if Ladarius wanted him to die, he could have killed him already.
Besides, Vicente had no strength to fight back at all. Even if Vicente was thrown on the street, he
could not fight back.
“I have told you that I want to help you!” Ladarius smiled and said, “I know it doesn’t feel good to be abandoned, chased, and laughed at, right?”
Vicente raised his head and squinted at him. Vicente also knew something about his past.
It was said that Ladarius had failed in his business and his company had gone bankrupt. At that time, he was chased by a lot of people. At that time, many people laughed at him. Later, he somehow. joined the Petersen Group and became the Project Department’s manager. It was also because of
this that Vicente looked down upon him at that time. He thought that a loser like him was not
qualified to take the position in the Petersen Group.
He even doubted if something had happened between him and Ingrid.
But now, Vicente was also in the same situation as him. It was really… hard to predict one’s future!
“I can help you. You don’t have to go to jail, and you won’t be chased by others anymore. You can even go back to the Petersen Group and take a higher position…”
Every word he said was tempting, making Vicente’s eyes light up bit by bit, but soon, the light dimmed again.
Obviously, Vicente didn’t believe it.
“No way!” Vicente sneered as if he was laughing at Ladarius and himself.
Did he want to? Of course! But it was just a thought. How could it be possible?
In such a situation, it was not easy for him to get out of trouble, let alone get into a higher position. How could he do that?
“As long as you want, your dream can come true.” Ladarius loosened his grip and turned around. “If you still have ambition, come with me!”
Vicente looked at his back with hesitation. Ladarius didn’t look back at him at all and continued to walk forward. After thinking for a while, Vicente finally followed him.
When Vicente went out, he found that it was an abandoned building. Vicente didn’t know where he
was.
It looked like a dilapidated building that was abandoned halfway and he was locked in an empty
house just now.
Ladarius walked out and stopped at the edge, not afraid of falling down. He put his hands behind his
back and looked into the distance.
After staring at his back for a while, Vicente slowly approached him, but he didn’t dare to stand at the edge like him. “What on earth do you want to do?”
“I want to help you.” Ladarius smiled. “But it depends on you. Do you want me to help you?”
“How can you help me?” He licked his dry lips. Although he felt that it sounded mysterious and unreliable, he still wanted to know.
Who didn’t want to get out of the predicament? Who didn’t want to reach the peak again? But, could it be true? Could he really do it?
“I have evidence and resources to prove your innocence. I can help you get rid of the scandals of
breaking the law and adding ingredients, and put the blame on Ingrid!”
He smiled, but his eyes were cold. “You can get out of here and destroy your opponent. What do you think?”
Vicente felt his heart beat faster and faster. That would be the best, but… how could it be possible?
“Don’t lie to me!” With a mocking smile, he said, “What good will it do to you? It’s easy for you to say. It’s not that easy to do, however.”
As the saying went, “Learn from a mistake and gain wisdom.” He fell so hard this time. How could he easily trust others and leave no other choices for himself?
He looked at Ladarius suspiciously and guessed what his purpose was.
