The house inside is buzzing.
Alex stands next to Augus and Bella, wearing the suit that he put on this morning.
“I know you’re unhappy, but you have to restrain yourself.” Augus warns Alex.
Alex doesn’t usually take these warnings to heart. He looks at his father, “Did you invite me to have
dinner with so many people?”
“There are many girls tonight, all of them come from rich and powerful families. If you take any one of
them, just let me know.”
It is Augus’ purpose to hold the dinner party, Alex wants to laugh when he hears what Augus says,
“Father, don’t you know I’m a married man?”
“I don’t know how can that kind of woman come into your sight. She’ even worse than Susan!” Augus is
delightful when he thinks of the recent news that came to his ear.
“But she was driven away by you, wasn’t she?” Alex looks at Augus, with hatreds in his eyes. He really
hates him.
“So what? You’ve transferred your affection from one to another. Is it hard for you to do it again? All the
women here tonight are around twenty. Isn’t a woman of this age your cup of tea?” Since his father
supports him to pick up women, shouldn’t he be thankful to him?
Alex holds the red wine glass tightly, as if he wants to crush the glass in his hands, “Do you think I am
same as you? Will I abandon my lover so easily? You’re so cold-blooded, no wonder no one will love
you by heart.”
“What did you say?” Augus is furious when he hears what Alex says, “Do you think you can have all
these glories without me? Because of my existence you have money, houses, cars and all the other
wealth, so that you’re sought after by many women. You’re nothing without me.”
Alex emphasizes the importance between father and son.
“Wow, How shameful you are!” Alex hasn’t forgotten he had been familiar with the corporate operation
ever since he was young. When his classmates were having fun in the college, he was busy with the
company business. At that time, why Augus didn’t say he create glories for him?
He should say, when Augus was president of Alex Group, the company almost closed down, and his
family almost declined. What Augus brought to him were debts and troubles.
Because Augus was incompetent, the board of directors asked him to resign, and let Alex take over the
company. Since then, he has expended on all the effort to Alex Group. Yet he becomes the son reaping
rewards from father, and Augus becomes the founder of great accomplishment?
If Alex was asked how many shameless people he had met, Augus was the first one in the namelist.
Augus always says “you are nothing without me”, he must have said the opposite words. If without
Alex’s effort, Augus might end up like David, or maybe he would be a little bit better than David, but it
wouldn’t be much.
“Those things were past. I’m still your father, so you must listen to me. I won’t allow that kind of
daughter-in-law who soils our family name stays with us. You must divorce with her.”
If you were virtuous you wouldn’t marry another woman one month after my mother died.
“Hey, why do you argue here?” Bella walks to Augus and Alex like a peacemaker, then introduces the
two persons behind her, “This is the president of Sue Group, the beauty next to him is his daughter.”
The president of Sue Group at the same age of Augus, seemingly educated. He looks at Alex with a
broad smile on his face, “I guess this is Alex. He’s really a fine-looking man.”
Alex might have forgotten this president of Sue Group, but he still remembers Alex. Although he is
elder to him, but he can’t compare to him in terms of competence. Also, he was terrified by one call
from Alex.
Grace wears a strapless dress tonight, her hair was pulled back, so she seems a bit pure. Who will
think of a traditional girl like her ever made a scene in the building of Alex Group?
“Alex, long time no see.” Grace looks at Alex with grins on her face.
Alex glances at her, but he doesn’t remember he knows the person stands in front of him.
The president of Sue Group tugs at his daughter, “Grace, a girl must be reserved.”
“Well, girls in this age is green and vigorous. Alex is shy on the outside. I hope your daughter won’t
despise him.” Augus responds with grins on his face.
He remembers Sue Group was powerful, if the alliance between the two families works, it would be
helpful to Alex Group.
But he doesn’t know that the current Sue Group is minor compare to Alex Group. He does
underestimate his son and overestimate others.
“You’re right!” the president of Sue Group agrees with him.
“Alex, Grace is not familiar with our house. Can you show her around? ” Augus deliberately puts Alex
and Grace together.
“You should take care of your own guests.” After he saying that, Alex is about to leave.
Once Grace sees Alex leaving, she follows him.
President Sue is afraid that his radical daughter will damage her reputation, so he says, “I’m sorry. I’ve
spoilt her since she was small, so she doesn’t know the rules.”
“I think your daughter and my son are a perfect match. If Alex can marry Grace, that will be great joy for
us.” Augus looks at the back of Alex and Grace, expressing his expectation.
President Sue thinks the same way. If Alex Group and Sue Group can be formidable alliance, who is
dare to challenge Alex’s father-in-law?
“But...” President Sue holds back. He has a glance at Augus, doesn’t know if he should tell the
unspoken words.
“But what?” Seeing the hesitation of President Sue, Augus starts to getting nervous. Although it is
normal that Alex lives with his son, but women generally hate being stepmothers.
“But I heard that Alex is married.”
“That woman doesn’t even come into our house. She can only stay in outside. We’re both men, you
know it.” Augus raises his wine glass, winking at President Sue.
President Sue also looks at Augus for a long while.
After they have looked at each other for a few seconds, a burst of laughter comes from them, as if they
have reached to an agreement.
