Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife

Chapter 68

"Verment that schemed... wife... Beades this cooperation... Family, or at least the shot in wasted the public to know the suddenly warm about Kitsunder. However, Sofia chose not to delve. They were together because they ringed for their father’s hand. You are not that good to begin with. Coupled with the fact that you really came here to ask me such a thing. I know you dislike your brother," the real estate world is vast, yet you — was wet virtually the one studying test as your own building,” Letur asked. Kirsander deaded. He only stared at his brows, frowning.

"Your relationship with Daniel... Tour sur wanted any Kangany," Arzaller started. He wanted to marry Sofia to own her shares in Beaumont Empire, and..."

Then why not give him my position?" Alexander asked in a challenging tone. "You seemed very convinced that he is capable. Make him the chairman, make him the CEO."

His father did not answer. "Take it that you only consider him as your son because you like his mother," Alexander smirked. "Please, this is not the time to talk about the past."

"Of course," Alexander smiled. "Although this whole thing makes me wonder where your stand is about cheating. Sadly, I recalled what you did to my mother—with the woman that she considered her friend nonetheless."

"You—" Arthur hissed, his face turning black.

Alexander only smirked and watched his father’s expression. "I mean if this incident was able to confirm one thing, it is the fact that Daniel is indeed your son."

Alexander stood. Seeing Alexander's reaction, the older man calmed himself down. "You will fix this."

"Fix what?"

"Your brother has been holed up in his place for days. Your mother is getting worried."

"My mother is dead," Alexander said, his face devoid of any expression. "Or have you forgotten that? Perhaps you wanted me to remind you how she died?"Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Arthur paused but eventually continued speaking while ignoring Alexander’s remarks. "Teresa is getting worried."

"And you don’t like it when she’s worried?" Alexander asked. Instead of responding to his provocations, Arthur sighed. "I don’t want to see my family broken just because of a woman."

"Ah." Alexander smiled. What would this man do if they knew that the woman who was trying to ruin his perfect family was already his daughter-in-law? "Right. Of course. It is my responsibility to fix everything even when I am not involved in the cheating," Alexander said.

"Don't worry. Josef will add this to my already full schedule." He got up and closed the buttons on his suit. "However, as I wanted to entertain you, I have a flight in ten minutes. I will be leaving the country."

His father said nothing. Instead, he only watched Alexander leave his office with his secretary. After a while, his father also left his office and immediately went back to the mansion.

"What did he say?" Teresa immediately asked the moment he arrived.

"Nothing."

"What do you mean by nothing?" Teresa asked, her eyes bloodshot. She had been trying to rummage her brain on how to harm Sofia, but she quickly realized how strong Alexander’s influence was. Alexander’s people are all over Sofia, and there is simply no other way to get to her without informing Alexander! Just what kind of deal did that woman have with Alexander?

"Sofia Lockhart will soon receive her inheritance after her birthday, which will happen in a few days. I believe Sofia used that as a bargaining chip," Arthur said. He knew the complicated dynamics of the Lockhart Family. He heard about Lawrence Lockhart and his growing influence in LH Group.

He knew that Eulanda Lockhart was slowly losing her influence. Sofia was far from ready to become the new CEO of the company. Sofia grew up away from Eulanda, up with the softer Eunice and Lawrence. The shareholders would make sure of that.

"You think she is about to make Alexander even more powerful?" Teresa asked. The current status quo inside the Beaumont Empire is unique. It was because Alexander’s grandfather decided to give all of his time to Alexander instead of Arthur. This made Alexander the Chairman and Arthur a mere director inside the company. Right now, Alexander holds all the power inside the company. Sofia would give those shares to Alexander, then wouldn’t he become even more powerful?

"That is the only reason why Alexander agreed to help her."

Teresa didn’t understand this. She heard about Eulanda Lockhart in the past, and she knew that the woman was very good in business. She is ruthless and could easily swallow a company she wanted to. However, she did not help her granddaughter. Instead, she let her granddaughter ask for some other man’s help? What is going on here?

"What about Daniel!" Teresa asked. "Did Alexander say he is going to help his brother?" She knew that the question was silly. Why would Alexander help Daniel? Everyone in this family knew how Alexander disliked his own brother. However, he was still a member of the Beaumont Family! They are all members of the Beaumont Empire! The least he could do was help Daniel.

"He did not say—"

"He is your son. Can’t you at least convince him to help his own brother?" Teresa asked. "What kind of father would bend in front of his son? What kind of father would let his other son suffer?"

To her surprise, Arthur only snorted in response.

"Did you just—hey! Where are you going?" she asked when Arthur started walking away from her. "Hey! Arthur! I am still talking to you!"

"I have a conference meeting. Don’t bother me."

"Arthur! What about Daniel!? Are you going to let him suffer?"

This time, Arthur stopped just before he could take a step towards the stairs. "Your son cheated on Sofia Lockhart. He slept with her sister and thought she would forgive him simply because she loved him. If that is not stupidity then... what is?"

"You—Hey! Listen to me! You—I am talking to you! Don’t you dare walk away from me! Arthur!"

Again, Arthur stopped walking in the middle of the stairs. "If you wanted to yell at someone then you should start yelling at yourself."

"You—"

"We both know what you did. Your son knows it, hid it, and betrayed his brother. Now, he is going to reap what he sowed. Just like you."

Teresa's eyes bulged as if they were about to jump out of their sockets. However, she was not able to say another word. She simply had to glare at Arthur's back as he continued walking towards his home office. After a while, the sound of a door slamming echoed through the mansion.
