Aileen suddenly feels that she becomes even more frightening like this. Her engagement has nothing
to do with him. Could there be any conflict with his interests? Is she being used?
"Dad, I think it's bizarre that elder brother does not bring sister-in-law over for such a big occasion."
Aileen decides to test him.
After hearing that, Augus immediately opens his mouth and says, "That woman won't be able to come,
she's already..."
It is until then that he realises that he has said the wrong thing, so he immediately changes the topic. "I
won't care so much about their affairs. Now you just need to do your part and become Richard's wife, it
will be beneficial to our company in the future."
When Aileen hears the last sentence, she finally understands this man's purpose. It is all for the benefit
of the company. No wonder he is smiling so brightly. She feels that she is going to die being engaged in
this marriage somehow.
And from Augus’s words just now, she clearly knows that something is not quite right. Can it be that
Miya is really in his hands?
"Dad, did you kidnap sister-in-law?" Aileen does not want to beat around the bush, so she might as well
just ask him directly and straight to the point.
Augus’s body trembles slightly as if he does not expect Aileen to be so direct.
"How can you talk nonsense about such things?" Augus is obviously looking guilty.
His reaction has already betrayed him.
Aileen is now looking at him with an unfaithful face, "So you really kidnapped sister-in-law, why did you
do that?"
Hearing Aileen uttering out the words without thinking, Augus’s entire body is on the verge of exploding
in anger, how does he raise such a disappointing daughter?
"What are you babbling about? How can you talk nonsense about such things?" Augus speaks in
annoyance.
"I didn't expect you to be despicable like this. Tell me, where did you hide sister-in-law?" Aileen decides
to seek justice for her sister-in-law this time.
"Now that your wings are hard and you can fly, you are getting bolder, aren't you? I'm telling you, if you
continue to meddle in my affairs, I won't even let you go." After Augus says this, he turns around and
leaves in a rage, not expecting his daughter to anger him like this. It is really infuriating.
"Hey... " Aileen wants to chase after him initially. But after thinking about it, it seems like she is too
worked out just now, she might have alerted him instead of catching him off guard. But she really can’t
hold back the anger in her heart.
Augus can’t care much now and decides to just go straight ahead. He originally comes here just to hear
them talk about engagement news. He is very delighted because if his son-in-law can invest in his own
company, it will be a significant amount of money. It will definitely bring his company back to life. If the
company continues like before, it will definitely end desperately.
Suddenly, someone lightly taps Augus's shoulder, and he turns around very impatiently, even wanting
to curse at that person. Who knows that the person he sees behind him is actually Richard. He
immediately says to Richard with a playful smile, "Mr Richard is really young and promising. My
daughter will be so honoured to be married to Mr Richard."
Richard’s face was expressionless, but the corners of his mouth are filled with disdain. In fact, he has
been trailing behind Augus, and has heard the whole conversation between Augus and Aileen just now.
"I heard that your company seems to be very short of funds lately." Richard immediately opens his
mouth to say.
Augus initially wants to mention this matter, but Richard is the one who speaks first. He is naturally over
the moon all of a sudden.
"Son-in-law, you are really too good." He hasn't expected Richard to be so proactive.
Richard tugs at the corners of his mouth, "I can invest in your company. But I have one condition."
"I know you like my daughter, just feel free to get engaged to her. You don't have to go through my
consent for anything in marriage." Augus generously opens his mouth and states. Anyway, he doesn’t
really care about his daughter. If he loses her, he can just have another one, but there is only one
company.
"I think you have misunderstood me. This condition refers to... "Richard leans towards Augus's ear and
whispers to him.
After Augus hears it, his entire facial expression changes. Unexpectedly swallowing his saliva, how
does this man seem to know everything? But he can’t care less, as long as he can make the company
operate like before, Augus must agree.
"Good. I promise you." He feels pleased with the thought that the company's financial problems will be
solved right away, without carrying out his plans to threaten Alex.
It seems that this step can be ignored entirely for now. After all, he only owns a small company, how
can it be compared to Richard’s?
"I hope that we can work well together." Augus is deliberately trying to please the man in front of him
who is funding.
"Remember, I want to see what I want to see by tonight." Richard opens his mouth to command that he
has become very impatient.
Augus initially wants to ask why but after thinking about it, he decides to forget about it. Anyway, there
is no need for him to be nosy.
...
Grace walks around the scene and finally finds Alex standing indifferently with his hands in his trouser
pocket in the middle of a swarm of people. She immediately squeezes out a pleasant smile and walks
over that way.
"Brother Alex... "Grace’s voice is still so sweet. She is just trying to please him.
Alex, however, is cold and unwilling to talk to her.
"Don't you even want to say one more word to me now? In fact, I really want to tell you that I am being
forced. I don’t mean to become your father's woman. In my heart..." it’s all about you.
Saying that to the end, Grace gets choked up. It seems like she doesn’t even have a chance to confess
now. She used to be able to tail him naturally, but now she is no longer clean.
And it is still his father that she is with, somehow making her becoming his stepmother. It is indeed a
joke to laugh about. So she feels desperate for being such a person.
"Are you done with the act?" After seeing no movements from Grace, Alex immediately speaks again.
As soon as Grace looks up, she sees his hardened expression, which is cold and somewhat
frightening.
"Why do you hate me so much? Do you have any idea why I'm like this? It's all because of you." If it
isn’t for trying to stay by his side, why will she complain to Augus, then let him have his way and end up
losing her innocence?
