Chapter 63: Another lie.
From the style of the hall alone, one would know that the auction would be extremely lavish. The hall was filled with guests and a few waiters, walking around and serving the elegant affluent people refreshments before the show would begin.
Laura and Alfred with smiles on their faces socialized with the guest. Right now, they were like the most peaceful couple who had ever graced planet Earth.
Laura boasted a lot about her youngest daughter marrying off to the Wyatt family. The air around her was proud and high and the same goes for Alfred who loved the look of surprises on some of the businessmen’s faces.
The ones who were glad his company crumbled were now at his auction. Sigh, how blissful!
Although Laura loves the benefit of Arissa getting married to Nicklaus Wyatt, her smile crumbles each time Alfred tries to set up a marriage proposal for Adele.
They don’t even know where the girl was or anything about her condition but here he was, confidently setting up a marriage proposal for her.
"Laura," Alfred whispered her name with a threat.
Laura stiffened with his tune, "Alfred,"
Alfred smiled at the few guests around the zone. Not wanting them to hear their discussion, he took Laura’s hand and walked towards the edge of the hall hand in hand with her. He has to give her some warning before she would screw things up for him.
"Take that frown off your face," he growled at her with a calm facade so as not to draw attention. "One more disapproving look from you, I’d do well to end Arissa tonight," he promised deadly and at the same time, caressed her cheek.
Laura was already used to him. They have been this way for years and even Arissa or Adele doesn’t know about the living facade they had been putting on. He respects her before them and turns completely different alone.
