Where’s my wife?!
The butler hurried towards Marion’s bedroom and knocked on the door discreetly.
Jolie’s voice came from the other side
“Come in”
The butler opened the door to see Marion on the bed and Jolie sitting on the chair close to the bed.
“Where’s she??” Marion immediately asked, there was an ice bag placed on her forehead, and she still felt pain there.
“I followed your instructions, she’s been locked in the basement with no source of natural ventilation, before turning on the air conditioner,” The butler said with an approving smile.
“That’s good, she’s just a pain in the ass,” Jolie said with a snort, making a mental note to go visit Amelia and see how she was ‘fairing’
It will be such a sight that she wouldn’t want to miss it a thousand times.
“If in case Alexander comes to look for her, just say she didn’t come here” Marion instructed seriously, she had to make preparations for the unsightly.
“Mother don’t worry, he won’t even come to find her, he’s a busy man to care about a cheap slut that was sold to him, Amelia is just a liability on his shoulders so when he discovers that she didn’t return home, he’ll be relieved, he might even come to thank us later” Jolie giggled at the last part “and then, I’ll get the chance to talk to him and he’ll be so stunned and enchanted by my beauty and body and…”
“Shut up Jolie, you’re so stupid, I’ve always told you to be smart and calculative” Marion scolded Jolie and she just pouted her lips in response.
Turning to the butler, Marion nodded at him “You did well today, I’ll send some cash to you later, you go first”
The butler bowed in glee before leaving.
Marion sighed as she stared at Jolie, though Jolie wAs very beautiful she wasn’t as smart as she wanted her daughter to be.
“Take it easy Jolie, Alexander is a renowned figure and a man of his caliber likes modest and well-cultured ladies, ladies that are well-behaved and bred up” Marion reminded Jolie and Jolie nodded in response.
“And that’s why you have to prepare yourself, that’s also the reason your father enrolled you in the classic lessons for socialites” Marion added and rested her back on the headboard when her head began to spin again.
“Take rest now, don’t tire yourself out,” Jolie said softly and narrowed her eyes a bit at the thought of Amelia.
Just then, they heard a bang sound from downstairs and Marion immediately frowned.
Soon, voices could be heard, it was so ear piercing to the ears and sharp.
“Let me go check, wait here,” Jolie said, ready to get up when Marion stopped her
“I’m not crippled, let’s go together” Marion refused to be left out, her subconsciousness felt that something was wrong, she had a bad premonition as she dropped her legs on the ground to wear her shoes and held the ice bag close to her forehead.
“Mom are you sure you don’t want to rest??” Jolie asked again but Marion just waved her hand and they both came down, heading towards where the sound came from.
“What’s happening here?? You Foo….” Luke’s voice trailed off as he came from his study and met those cold eyes.
He was in his study when he heard the sound so he came down to check, he was scolding the servants while coming down to the living room and was startled to see the man.
“Sir, Alexander Ron….. ahh welcome, welcome to my home hehe” Luke immediately walked towards a sofa used his bare palm to dust off invincible dust from the chair, and gestured for Alexander to sit on it.
“Please make yourself comfortable! What do I and my household owe this visit??” Luke said while using his side eyes to look for the maids.
When he finally saw the butler, he immediately glared at him when Alexander wasn’t looking, telling the butler to come clean things up.
“Hehe Mr. Ron, what would you like to have?? Coffee or Tea??” Luke asked flirtatiously which kept a wide smile.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Alexander didn’t say a word as his frown kept deepening, the woman he was waiting for hadn’t arrived yet.
His eyes were so cold and piercing as he stared at Luke who was suddenly talking about how his daughter knows how to make tea.
“Ehh??” Luke was immediately startled by that cold look that was directed at him, he felt his throat run dry.
Alexander didn’t pay him much heed as he looked upstairs when he heard footsteps coming from there.
Jolie gasped as her heart pounded heavily in her chest when she locked gazes with Alexander.
Alexander looked at her with a sharp gaze before dropping his gaze.
“Ah come down, we have a distinguished guest, Jolie come over here,” Luke said while exchanging meaningfully gazes with Marion and Marion immediately pushed her daughter forward.
Jolie became aware of what they wanted to do and she blushed slightly but immediately composed herself.
“Dad,” Jolie said and walked towards Luke.
“Good daughter, Greet Mr. Ron” Luke instructed with a wide smile.
Jolie gazed at Alexander with a shy smile “Welcome Mr Ron, it’s nice to meet you again” Jolie said.
Alexander was still facing the ground, not even paying attention to what Jolie was saying.
“Okay, Go make some of your delicate Tea for Mr. Ron, it’s cold lately, go brew some tea for him,” Luke said and Jolie immediately agreed.
“Welcome to our household Mr Ron,” Marion said and sat close to Luke.
“Where’s she??” Alexander spoke after a while with steel and cold eyes, as if ready to pounce on Luke anytime.
Luke was confused for a while before laughing a little, Alexander immediately glared at him and his laugh stopped in midair.
He coughed awkwardly “Hmm We don’t know who you’re referring to but if it’s Jolie?? Haha, we just instructed her to go make some tea for you, you know… she’s hardworking and makes lovely and soothing tea, a beauty with everything installed, she has a bright future, ha she is also competing for…”
“Shut the fuck up, where’s my Wife??” Alexander shouted this time while hitting the glass table close by and it immediately shattered, a broken piece cut his hand. He had lost his patience, he remembered cleared that Amelia was only wearing a small jacket and a thin shirt, it was chilly today. He wondered if she was Cold.
Luke was so scared and Marion’s face turned as white as a sheet.
Jolie immediately gasped in shock and the Tray containing the tea fell from her hand.
Didn’t Alexander look at her just now??
He didn’t come for her??
