Chapter 43 Have you forgotten Monica’s revenge?
Gregorio met his gaze and lost a great deal of his momentum straight away, but he still didn’t see the coffin.
“I’m putting my word out here today, either you give Nola a name or you get rid of that woman Sherry and never see her again.”
As the words fell, the atmosphere in the office felt like it had been frozen.
Nola secretly gauged Aaron’s expression, the tips of her fingers clasped in her palm.
Aaron’s cold eyes lifted slowly, his voice hushed, but steeped in a fury that would not go away.
“Gregorio, I’ve spoken politely enough, don’t you dare challenge me again and again.”
“Aaron, don’t get too wild!”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Gregorio slapped the table and stood up, bellowing, “We, the Garcia Family, are not afraid of you either.”
“Heh, yeah?”
Aaron was half-hearted, a chill in his eyes, and said without caring, “Then from now on, never cooperate.”
Not only Nola, but the entire Garcia Family power behind her, he doesn’t want.
He was tired of this kind of company and coaxing.
The buzz is on.
Gregorio felt like the sky was falling.
Just see Aaron get up without looking back and walk out, while Gregorio’s hand propped up on the sofa, half unsteady on his feet.
“Brother, what now!” Nola frowned in annoyance, “If he doesn’t want me anymore and really runs off to that bitch, I should …”
“Shut up!”
Gregorio came back to his senses and immediately took out his mobile phone, not daring to tell his dad, so he had to call his great uncle Steve first.
“Uncle, something’s happened.”
Steve’s face sank over there as he listened to Gregorio’s account of what had happened.
“Come back first and come with me tonight with gifts to the Swift Family to apologize, this is a crucial time for the two families to work together, how can we make such a mess!”
Gregorio was angry, but had no choice but to take Nola away.
On the way, Nola received another message from within the Night Group, “Nola, there’s been a miscommunication, I think, Mr. Swift doesn’t have that one pregnant woman with him.”
Nola’s brow tightened.
No?
Her mind wandered a hundred times, and she sighed slowly in relief.
But she can’t take it lightly!
“Nola, do you feel that Aaron is treating the Garcia Family and you and I differently than he used to?”
“It won’t happen, brother!” Nola pursed her lips, “I have a way to get him to marry me as soon as possible.”
Just find a way to get pregnant with Aaron’s baby again and all problems will be solved.
…
Aaron returned to the Swift Family after the meeting, scanned the missed calls on his phone, and with a cold frown, stripped off his clothes and walked into the bathroom.
Then the phone screen flashed twice more, an email from abroad.
Signed Big Brother.
While the email was unread, Eral received an urgent notification from the overseas group’s headquarters that Addison, the president of Oppuland Group, would be returning home early and would arrive at the airport in one hour.
It’s times like these that all travel arrangements have to be made in advance!
It’s urgent and no one can afford to let a big client down.
“Everyone in the secretarial department out immediately.” Eral ordered as he led a group of men towards the airport.
But Aaron’s phone couldn’t be reached.
Someone has to find it.
“Sherry, find Mr. Swift,” Eral dialed Sherry’s number directly, “You know you’ve offended the Garcia Family, Mr. Swift will have a hard time keeping you in the Night Group, if you want to make up for it If you want to make amends, you need to find Mr. Swift as soon as possible.”
“Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait and go.”
Although Eral didn’t know why his president had given Sherry the benefit of the doubt, he could see that Sherry wanted to stay at Night Group and that she had to be of value.
“This is your first assignment in the secretary’s office, and failure to complete it means you don’t have what it takes.”
Listening to the blind tone of the phone being cut off, Sherry immediately grabbed her bag and ran out.
But the first thing you don’t do is call Aaron’s phone.
Since Eral and the others couldn’t reach Aaron, it was useless for her to call.
Then think about where Aaron is likely to go and can’t pick up the phone …
Fifteen minutes later, Sherry knocked furiously on the Swift Family door.
No one should.
“It’s Wednesday, Alice should be out grocery shopping.”
Sherry sighed and looked towards the side door next to her, there was no choice but to go in first.
She had discovered a long time ago that the side door could be pried open from the outside, but she hadn’t told anyone about it, thinking she would use it one day when she escaped.
If Aaron wasn’t home she would leave quietly and go straight to the Garcia Family to find someone.
Luckily, it was only on the first floor that the sound of water in the bathroom was heard.
She was trying to figure out what to call him.
The sound of the water stopped and Sherry took a deep breath, turned around and waited.
“How did you get in here!”
It was Aaron’s cold, low growl.
Sherry replied calmly and quickly, “Addison from the Oppuland Group has returned home early, Eral and the others have left for the airport, the plane lands in half an hour, so it’s not too late to leave.”
No sooner had the words been spoken than the man behind her had swept past her like a gust of wind.
Flinging her a car key by the way, “You drive.”
Before Sherry could react, she heard the man shout, “If you don’t make it, you’re out of the Night Group.”
The corners of Sherry’s lips just rose, “Mr. Swift, you should …”
Just as he finished, he saw several people appear at the door downstairs who were very much not supposed to be there.
Gregorio and Nola were carrying their gifts and the man who brought them to the door was an older man, presumably the eldest member of their Garcia Family.
And at that moment, Aaron had just finished his shower, his head still beaded with water and his shirt collar open.
It just so happens that there is an extra Sherry in the house where no woman should be.
Nola’s eyes were on fire with anger.
“What are you doing and why is she here!”
She couldn’t care less about her status as a thousand-year-old girl and rushed straight forward to hit Sherry.
It’s this bitch, that’s why Aaron treats her and the Garcia Family so badly, all because of Sherry.
Or is the woman who may be pregnant with Aaron’s child, Sherry?
Sherry’s eyes blinked and she ducked behind Aaron ahead of him.
And at the same time, Nola’s raised wrist was stopped by Aaron.
“Aaron?”
Nola’s beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
Her voice was shaking, “It’s come to this, and you’re still protecting her? Even if you … shouldn’t have stayed with her, have you forgotten about Monica? Are you doing this to Monica?”
A shudder ran through Sherry.
Her head drops.
“I’m in a hurry and I don’t have time to entertain you.” Aaron’s tone had never been colder, then he let go and tugged Sherry away at a brisk pace.
Sherry glanced back and all three of the Garcia Family looked at her with unmistakable disgust and hatred.
Nola, in particular, seemed as if she was about to die by a thousand cuts in the next moment.
