Chapter 14 – I can never get it wrong
Earlier that morning, Grandpa Aristotle got the domestic workers up and about for the arrival of his grandchildren and their women.
He ensured the chef prepared the best meals with the finest wine. The first party to arrive was Cole and his wife, Rene, and daughter, Mia.
"Where is your daughter? Why did you not come with her?" The old man asked the middle-aged man at the doorway, unwilling to let him in without seeing the woman he was expecting.
Cole was brutally confused. This arrangement was made by his father a long time ago, so he lacked the details of the matter.
His only reason for keeping to it was to save the company.
"Grandpa Aristotle, this is my daughter, Mia, the one we always talked about."
He pulled Mia close to him, but the old man was shaking his head while staring at Mia from head to toe, his gaze resting on her wrist.
"She’s not the one. How dare you play a fast one on me," he threatened. Cole was afraid. The old man had all his hair grey and still looked handsome.
He was also strong-looking, and everyone knew that Grandpa Aristotle was very dangerous, so Cole could not allow anything to go wrong.
Or, did he get it wrong? Was it Joan the old man wanted? That selfish child had already married a cripple, so there was no hope left for Cole.
As such, he was not willing to reveal the existence of another daughter.
