"What I said is the truth. Anyway, my mom forced you to sign the equity transfer agreement, your shares will all become my mom's, my mom becomes the chairman, I will naturally be the eldest daughter of Canhua, and you... A pheasant!"
She laughed as she spoke, but remembering that the handsome man was watching and awkwardly covering his mouth with his hand was as comical as it could be.
Adeline was defeated by her thick skin and her fingers were shaking with anger, a warm big palm held her tightly at this moment, and Felix looked coldly at the woman who appeared out of nowhere: "Miss, I think you are mistaken about some things. My wife is innocent, all that you say is malicious slander. As for my father-in-law and mother-in-law's Canhua company, I will ask the best lawyer to take it back. Now, please get out of here at once!"
"What! Is she your wife?" "Capet exclaimed in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Adeline couldn't help but turn her face to look at him. The morning sunlight shone through the window, making his resolute and handsome figure even more charming, and her heart... And she couldn't help but flutter a little!
This was the first time he had acknowledged her identity in public and naturally said the three words "My wife".
Felix put his arm around her shoulder in a tough stance: "Yes, she's my wife. Are you going to sell yourself here shamelessly?"
Zoey had been spoiled by Zoe since childhood and would try every possible way to get her whatever she liked. She had never suffered much, and now hearing such humiliation from a rare man she liked, she felt her cheeks burning and her eyes welling up.
"You, you dare to look down upon me, wait, I will tell my mother to get you here, then you will beg me!"
Adeline looked at her as if she were an idiot. Not only did Zoe not become the chairman of the company, but even if she did, she would be a world apart from House of Andreas. To want to touch the head of the House of Andreas is just too tired of living.
Sure enough, Felix's face darkened even more, and he shouted coldly, "Someone, kick her out right now, get her out of the club, the Star Hotel will never welcome such a guest!"
The security came in immediately and took away Zoey. She refused to leave and stared at Adeline with a very resentful look: "I don't believe you, Adeline, have you deliberately found someone to deceive me, you don't even have a wedding ring in your hand, want to show off a man in front of me, right? I'll take him away sooner or later!"
A wedding ring?
Adeline's heart gave a jolt, a look of weariness welled up on her face, and she smiled at him: "Sorry, she's a lawless and mischievous person. Don't take her words seriously."
Felix lowered his eyes in silence and saw her slightly rubbed ring finger: "Which sentence do you mean?"
"Of course every one of them. None of what she says sounds good."
He looked into her smiling and guilty eyes, a flash of pity flashing in his heart: "Fool, most of those words are scolding you. It's not your turn to apologize to me anyway."
Adeline gave a bitter smile: "But it was because of me, I did drag you down after all."
"We are husband and wife, what can we say about being implicated or not?" He gently kissed the corner of her productions: "Since you don't want to go to the company, then don't go. I'll have Grant take you home."
Adeline opened her productions, wanting to say she was willing to go with him, but he had already turned and walked towards the door.
Gentle and domineering him, cold and distant him, then what kind of feelings does the real him have for her?
Adeline didn't go home. Instead, she asked Grant to take her to the law firm to discuss the case with Tang Zhi. After all, the court session was just around the corner. By the time she got home, it was already dark.
Butler Zhang asked her if she wanted to eat, and she looked at the empty house and knew Felix wasn't back.
She shook her head, looking tired and desolate, and slowly went upstairs to the balcony of the bedroom to look at the moon.
She reached out her hand towards the moon and saw her empty ring finger. The moonlight was so dim that it felt colder on her body.
Zoey's words came to mind in a flash during the day. They don't even have a wedding ring. What kind of marriage is that?
It was fake, and such things shouldn't be cared about, but why do you still feel uncomfortable in your heart?
Adeline touched her fingers and suddenly remembered that Zoey had said she had something to tell her about Canhua today, but in the end she had forgotten it because of her own mischief.
Well, maybe she was the kind of person who asked her out and deliberately stepped on her to vent her anger, or got into some trouble and didn't dare to tell Zoe, wanting her to be the sucker, not necessarily having some news!
Adeline guessed it right. She stole a new card from Zoe and found out it had 30 million. She was overjoyed and took it. At the same time, she was a little annoyed that she had been giving her so little pocket money recently. In a fit of rage, she took the money and went to a special club with a few bad friends. There was an underground gambling city inside. Not only did she spend all her money, but she also owed 20 million and dared not tell Zoe, so she thought of extorting Adeline.
She thought she would be attached to a rich man and take as much as she could, but she never expected to meet a perfect and handsome man like Felix. She was so happy that she forgot her business, and now she was thrown out of the hotel and dared not go home, wandering around.
Suddenly a shrill rumble came, and several black motorcycles blocked her at the entrance of the alley. She looked at the menacing faces of the men one by one, and she pulled up her legs and ran back.
The leader, with his scar-faced face, pulled her back as if she were a chicken: "Zoey, did you say you pay back the money today? Where is the money?"
"Big brothers, I have no money, really no. Please spare me. I'll be a cow or a horse in the next life to repay you."
Such stupid words made the men burst into laughter, and the scar-faced man grabbed her slender neck from behind: "No need to be an ox, but a horse is fine, just right for us to ride."
How could Zoey, a woman who was always involved in sex affairs, not understand what they meant? Her eyes lit up: "Well, I'll sleep with you, and then I'll write off all the debts I owe to the gambling city!"
A glimmer of fire flashed in the scabs' eyes, then he shook his head: "We can't afford to be the master of such a large sum of twenty million. Today you either pay back the money or come back with us to be the woman of the gambling city."
Zoey had a deep understanding of the status of the women there during those days. They were even worse off than a dog. She couldn't live like that.
"No, no, I can't go to the gambling city with you!" She shook her head quickly.
"Then come with us!" As the scar-faced was about to tie her to the motorcycle, Zoey knelt down with a thunk: "Big Brother, spare your life, spare your life, I'll give you money, I can give it."
"What about the money?" The scar-faced stretched out his hand impatiently.
"I really have no money to pay back, but my sister can. She has climbed onto a rich man and surely can come up with that much money."
