Amongst the Stars, Out in the Ocean, There's You

Chapter 9: Chapter 9 You Get Nothing



Keira Leaf licked her dry lips, "I have no intention of being an enemy to Young Master Sulliven. I just want to make a deal with him and have to resort to these methods."

"A deal? You're really bold!"

"I have no choice. My life is cheap, so I have to seek fortune and risk."

"What do you want?"

Joshua Sulliven released his grip and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, a gloomy coldness emanating from his elegant posture.

He was curious to see what the woman who had dared to secretly photograph him was after!

Keira didn't rush to speak but slowly stood up from the ground, carefully adjusting her sleeping robe. Despite her trembling, she no longer had to look up at him.

Watching her barely concealed ravine, Joshua's eyes darkened.

No one knew that last night, he had been somewhat out of control in front of this woman, wishing to crush her in his body...

"If I say I don't want anything, would Young Master Sulliven believe me?"

Keira gathered her hair, her panic on the face replaced by a seductive charm.

Joshua leaned a little forward, looking into her faint amber-colored eyes. In them, a dazzling light flickered with a determination and calculation different from other women.

Joshua chuckled, what an interesting thing to not want anything!

Not wanting anything because she didn't know what she wants, which also meant she wants everything!

"It's not that I'm greedy, I've admired Young Master Sulliven for a long time. Why won't he believe my sincerity?" Keira asked with irresistible grievance, but not a hint of emotion in her eyes.

Sincerity?

How much is sincerity worth per pound?

This woman dared to talk about sincerity with him? How dare she!

Joshua's face darkened, his patience running thin: "Last chance."

Seeing the man's stormy face, Keira smartly stopped beating around the bush, her gaze fixed on Joshua as she said solemnly, "I want to be Mrs.Sulliven!"

As soon as the words fell, the room was engulfed in a strange silence, followed by Joshua's wild laughter.

Yes, what this woman said was "want", not "wish"!

She's really amusing!

Keira stood her ground, smiling brightly, allowing the man to mock her, but her eyes were full of seriousness.

"Are you worthy?"

Joshua took a puff from the cigarette in his hand and looked up and down at the interesting toy before him.

"Worthiness can only be known after trying. I just hope Young Master Sulliven can give me a chance." Keira's voice softened a little. After all, dealing with Joshua was like striking a deal with a tiger. She wasn't foolish enough to use the photos as chips for negotiation.

"Fine, since you want to play, I'll play with you. But let me tell you, you'll get nothing from me!" Joshua spoke word by word, with a strong sense of fun.

Smoke veiled Joshua's cheeks, and Keira couldn't make out his expression, but at the sound of his words, a smile bloomed between her eyes and brows.

"Alright, let's seal the deal!"

She didn't want money, affection, or even Joshua himself. All she wanted was the position of Mrs. Sulliven. She wanted everything that Olivia Leaf valued, everything that the Leaf Family was proud of!

Seeing the laughter on Keira's face, a touch of sarcasm flashed in Joshua's eyes as he spoke in a low voice, "Since you want to play, I'll play with you. However, since it's a game, there should be rules. Don't blame me for being ruthless if you break them."
