Semua Bab The Aloof CEO – Her Regret for Chasing Me Out: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Natalie frowned. "Are you out of your mind, Alicia?""No, it's Elijah! That bastard slapped me three times, and I tumbled down the stairs! Ronald, that bastard, he stood up for Elijah for some reason and held a knife against my neck!" Alicia roared and slammed her foot into her car, leaving a dent on the door.Selene and Natalie frowned. Then their questions came like a barrage of bullets."Elijah again? That's impossible. How could he do that? And Ronald's nothing but our lapdog. Why would he take that piece of shit's side? And I almost forgot. Why did you go to the Hudsons'?""I heard your conversation. Elijah cheated on Natalie and hooked up with some slut out there. I saw red, so I stormed up to wherever he was, but…" Alicia gritted her teeth and told her sisters what happened at the Hudsons'.Natalie's face fell further and further. Realization struck her. "That explains why he stood up to me. He latched on to a common thug. Ronald has his back. Of course. He's an ignorant fo

"No way. The guests I'm hosting today are extremely important. I can't afford any trouble here," Natalie said firmly, her eyes blazing but her tone resolute as she stepped in front of Alicia to stop her.​​"Fine," Alicia grumbled, shrugging carelessly. "That scumbag isn't getting away from me anyway. I'll let him enjoy his little moment of freedom while it lasts."Despite her defiant attitude, Alicia knew better than to push back against Natalie's authority."Wait, they're heading this way? And that little brat just said they're here to eat?" Alicia's brows furrowed in disbelief as she spotted Elijah and Cindy walking toward Waterside Chateau."Elijah, a scumbag like him, having a Waterside Chateau membership card? No way!"Natalie turned to glance at them, her expression a mix of disdain and mockery. "They came here on a scooter. There's no way he could afford to dine here even if that scumbag miraculously has a membership card."Although she was derisive, her steps faltered sli

"Of course, sir. Waterside Chateau will fully comply with any and all requests you have," John said immediately, then turned to Natalie. "Apologies, but your silver membership card is now invalid. Furthermore, you've been blacklisted from Waterside Chateau effective immediately.""Him?! I refuse to believe he has that kind of authority!" Natalie was stunned, her mind reeling.Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined Elijah pulling out a Supreme Purple Card—a card she'd never even heard of—and invalidating her membership with just a single command.To her, Elijah was nothing but a loser—a useless waste of space who only lazed around and indulged himself. How could he possess such a prestigious membership card? And how could someone like him have the manager of Waterside Chateau bowing to his every word?"This can't be real! There's no way this is possible! That card he has—he must've stolen it! A loser like him isn't qualified to hold even a silver card, let alone a Supre

Since Elijah had a bit to drink, Cindy insisted on taking over the scooter on their way back. This put Elijah in an awkward spot.He considered resting his hands on her waist several times but ultimately refrained, awkwardly bracing his hands on the rear of the seat instead. Even so, the scooter wobbled enough that occasional contact was inevitable.Elijah couldn't help but recite a calming mantra in his mind as he felt the smooth, warm sensation against his thigh and caught the fresh, sweet scent from Cindy."I noticed you didn't eat much earlier. Was it because you weren't hungry or just didn't like the food?" Elijah asked.Cindy's cheeks turned crimson as she answered truthfully, "The food was a bit bland. Honestly, it wasn't as tasty as flamin' hot Cheetos."Elijah fell silent, rendered speechless by Cindy's love for hot Cheetos."By the way, Elijah, isn't it a bit wasteful to use someone like Old Mr. Reinhart to help with my family's problems? Maybe we should—""Just keep y

"Trivecta Corp will certainly cooperate with your family on my recommendation," Henry said as he held Natalie's hand. "But if we do it that way, people might call you a 'nepo hire' and gossip behind your back. How could I let you endure such humiliation?"Luckily, my family is about to sign a lucrative contract with the military. You could invest five billion and join in. The project's short—just a month or two—and you'll double your profits. Plus, you'll gain connections with both the military and my family. "Who would dare look down on you after that?"Natalie's heart raced with excitement, but her expression remained hesitant. "Thank you for thinking this through for me, but five billion is no small amount. I'll need some time to consider it."Five billion would require draining Summer Holdings' liquid assets and selling off a portion of its properties. It wasn't a decision she could take lightly.Henry quirked a brow, feigning surprise. "Natalie, don't tell me your family can
