Semua Bab Contract Marriage: Married To A Sadistic CEO: Bab 21 - Bab 30

“What are you going to do?” Dante began questioning. “What if the main major shareholder ends up being our enemy? What if we end up losing the company to a total stranger?”“That will never happen. Dad, let's be positive. This isn't the time to cry over spilled milk,” Layla replied calmly, as if his words weren't worth worrying about. Dante let go of his suitcase before he walked up to Layla, who was still confident in a moment like this. “Then when is the time?” He asked angrily. “You ruin my big plan, yet you have the audacity to act as if nothing happened?”Layla ruffled her hair frustratingly at his words. “What big plan? Come to think of it, have you ever had a big plan? You were always 'waiting for the right time'!”Unable to contain the anger burning through him, Dante slapped Layla, bruising her lips. “The BOD members are already on my side, and I already have a reason to push Olivia out of the company, but you ruined everything!” Dante yelled at her before he stormed out o

“Sure. I will go to the restaurant of your choice,” Alden replied with a never-ending smile. She chuckled at how he sounded, as if he were allowing her to win this time. Without complaining, she headed into her room and dressed up. After she was done dressing, she walked back to the living room. “Alden, let's go.”Her voice made him take his gaze away from his phone to stare at her. His lips parted, lost for words at how beautiful she looked in the pink sarong gown paired with black strappy heels. “Alden, why are you staring at me? Did I look—”Before she could complete her words, he cut her off. “There isn't time to ask how the dress looks on you. It will be 8:00PM soon; let's have our dinner and go for the gift.”She smiled faintly before nodding her head. She walked out of the mansion with him. After they got into the car, Alden started the car and drove off to the restaurant Olivia wanted. “Honey, I don't think I will like their pizza, why not try having seafood?” She asked

“Where the hell did she go?” Kenny, who was busy looking for Olivia everywhere in the living room but couldn't find her, spoke frustratingly. Since she wasn't in the living room, he decided to check the rooms upstairs; maybe she got drunk and decided to rest. He checked Alden's room, but she wasn't there. He let out a deep breath before he began checking the other rooms. He checked the rooms but couldn't find her. When he arrived at Aziel's room, he asked himself inwardly, ‘She can't be in Aziel's room, right?” Without an answer, he decided to check. His lips parted, and a gasp erupted from his lips the moment he opened the door. He couldn't believe what he was seeing: Olivia kissing Aziel hungrily with her arms wrapped around his neck. It took him a few minutes before he could come back to his senses. He walked into the room and forcefully pushed Aziel off her. His punch landed on his face as if it was his wife who was making out with Aziel. “Aziel, how could you be this shame

Kenny's heart sank as he suddenly became overwhelmed with fear. He knew that whatever Atlas would say would determine Alden's reaction towards him. “What do you mean?” Alden, who was taken aback by Atlas's words, questioned curiously. Atlas smiled faintly at her brother's question before he replied, “I spiked the drink Olivia drank.”“Why? Do you think such a petty trick will make you the CEO of the company overnight?” Alden asked, his jaw clenched. Atlas chuckled at his words before he walked closer. “My little brother, I don't need to play dirty to win the directors over.”His eyes narrowed as he stared at Atlas, who was trying to provoke him. “Then why did you do that?” He asked, his angry eyes piercing through Atlas's. “The drink was meant for my girlfriend, who came to celebrate grandma's birthday with me, but unfortunately your wife drank it,” Atlas explained with a straight face. Alden burst into laughter at Atlas's words, wondering if he thought he was talking to a fool.

A Few Hours Earlier…“I can't believe he wasn't going to wait for me to get dressed and give me a ride to the meeting,” Olivia said with a frown before coming out of the bathroom. She picked up her phone and texted one of her favorite makeup artists. She put on a simple casual gown before heading downstairs. “You are awake? I heard you aren't feeling well; are you fine now?”She smiled at Grandma Katherine's words, reminded of how her father used to ask her a ton of questions each time she was sick. “I am fine now. I was just stressed out,” she replied sweetly. “I am glad you are. I personally prepared lobster and rice porridge for you,” Grandma Katherine said before she led her to the dining room. She drew out a chair for Olivia, which she sat on shyly. “Make sure to finish everything. You have to eat healthy foods and make sure you rest frequently.”Olivia smiled at her words before she began eating. No doubt, she had never tasted a lobster as delicious as this one. She ate eve
