Chapter 2222: Cut Up the Wedding Dress
Editor: Atlas Studios
Alan looked even more stern as he turned to Qiao Mei and he did not even bother to hide his disgust. He was familiar with all the daughters of the rich families in Country M and he had already asked around about Qiao Mei. She was Xia Zhe’s plaything for a while. After some time, the two of them broke up and now she was pestering his son!
“What’s wrong with you? Don’t tell me you regret it now? I already say that you just need to give me money. I don’t ask for much. You are the one who wants to compensate me with a new car. So why are you regretting it now?” Qiao Mei asked.
“I don’t regret it! It’s just that the car key isn’t in the garage. I’ll get the butler to bring it to you,” Daniel said.
The butler glanced at Daniel and after confirming that Daniel was serious, he went to retrieve the car key and brought it over. Qiao Mei did not want to waste her breath on Daniel anymore. She also wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible. That Alan did not look like someone to be trifled with.
Qiao Mei drove away from Alan’s house, displaying exceptional driving skills. Xia Zhe smiled and bade farewell to Alan before following behind Qiao Mei’s car.
Daniel walked up to Alan in fear and said with a flattering smile, “Dad, I’m sorry to have made you worry about me.”
“She’s already gone. Aren’t you going to chase after her?” Alan asked.
“Dad, how do you know that I…” Daniel said to Alan in surprise.
“Your marriage is not up to you to decide. It’s fine if you want to play around with this woman, but don’t cause any trouble for me,” Alan warned.
“I know the rules. Don’t worry, Dad,” Daniel said.
When Alan and Daniel returned to the villa, Jessica was inside, cutting up the wedding dress with a pair of scissors. She had smashed many things in the house and the entire living room was in a mess.
“Jessica!” Alan shouted fiercely.
Jessica looked at Alan in shock. As far as she knew, Alan should be on a business trip in Country L now. Why was he back all of a sudden? She put down the scissors and stood there helplessly. “I’m sorry, Dad. I messed up.”
“Dad, I’ve already tested him just now. It’s not as if we don’t have any more chances to work with Fang Chen. We can still use other ways to control him and make him cooperate with us.” Daniel seemed like a different person now. He looked ruthless and sharp, completely different from his sunny and cheerful self from before.
“Trash! A bunch of trash! If Fang Chen chooses to go against us, the two of you can forget about staying alive!” Alan said furiously.
Daniel and Jessica were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the floor and lowered their heads as they said in unison, “We understand. We will definitely complete our mission.”
Alan went to the study upstairs. After confirming that Alan would not come out again, Daniel stood up and smoothed the creases on his pants. Jessica still knelt on the floor and did not dare to move an inch.
“You’re really too anxious this time. Can you use your brain before you do anything next time?” Daniel said sternly.
“I… I just want him to marry me as soon as possible. I’m nearing the deadline Dad gave me and I’m worried that he will really reject me completely,” Jessica explained in a panic.
“I put in a good word for you when we were in the garage. You’re on your own after this. Don’t disappoint Dad and me,” Daniel said.
Tears filled Jessica’s eyes and she said aggrievedly, “Yes, I’ll definitely be able to do it.”
“Get up. Don’t kneel anymore,” Daniel said as he sat on the sofa.
Jessica got up carefully and sat on the sofa beside Daniel. The Jessica that was presented to the public was just a persona. In this family, Alan was the one in charge. Next in line was the successor of the organization, Daniel. It could be said that Jessica did not even have any rights in the family and was treated worse than a pet dog.
Jessica looked glamorous in front of everyone, but in reality, she was in unbearable agony. She was like a canary trapped in a cage and could not make any decisions of her own.
Daniel’s gaze was sharp as he recalled what happened today. This entire matter was definitely not a coincidence. Someone must have planned this for a long time and this traitor camefrom within his home. Ever since Alan announced to the public that he was the successor of the organization, many people had been coming at him. This was not the first time such an incident happened.
He was taken by surprise this time round and almost died on that road. It was fortunate that he met Qiao Mei. She was really his lucky star. At the thought of her, he immediately wanted to go to her side.
Qiao Mei drove to a well-hidden villa outside the suburbs. She had bought this villa in her own name, so it did not matter even if someone was monitoring her. What was wrong with her going back to her own house?
However, the special thing about this house was that there was an underground passageway. Qiao Mei had specially asked for it to be constructed in preparation for a day like today. Xia Zhe parked his car at the back of the mountain.
