Chapter 29: This Was Out of the Lady’s Norm!
Before Chairman Delaney shot bullets of questions to Ruediger, Brian swiftly instructed everyone to head inside the manor. Lariette quickly joined his effort, saying she felt hot being outside for so long.
"Let’s go inside. We should have cold drinks over our chat," uttered Brian, flashing a bright smile at Lariette and Ruediger, "Our chairman here surely has many things to ask."
Brian was as surprised as Chairman Delaney when Lariette claimed she and Ruediger were married but, he didn’t let the shock manifest on his face.
After a short moment passed, Brian was intrigued to learn what led Lariette to marry Ruediger when she was still together with Damien weeks ago.
"Mr. Alvord, follow us. We’re going to have a long talk."
Feeling sorry for his dear granddaughter, Chairman Delaney begrudgingly told Ruediger to join them. He already had tons of questions to be asked as soon as possible.
Ruediger’s countenance was still calm, remaining unbothered by Chairman Delaney’s reaction. Curling his lips, he nodded once, "Yes, Chairman Delaney."
Standing up, the elderly man stared at Ruediger for a moment longer before turning around. Brian walked by Chairman Delaney’s side after gesturing at Lariette and Ruediger to follow.
The newlyweds didn’t immediately trail after Chairman Delaney and Brian. Lariette looked at Ruediger, an apologetic smile hanging on her lips.
"I guess it’s the interrogation time next."
Lariette’s remark lured laughter out of Ruediger’s mouth. Raising one brow, he calmly replied, "The sooner we get over the interrogation part, the better."
