In an elegant private room.
A middle-aged man sat opposite Alina.
The man's aura was intimidating. He pushed a menu across the table to Alina and said politely, "Miss Alina, what would you like to eat? Just order whatever you like!"
How could Alina be in the mood to order food?
No one would be in such a mood. She was kidnapped by a stranger and was asked to order food in front of her kidnapper? Who knew what he was up to?
Alina looked at the man and said, "Mister, if you have anything to say to me, just say it. I'm not hungry."
The middle-aged man took back the menu and said with a smile, "Miss Alina, you're a straightforward person. Very well then, I won't hold back. I want you to leave Wilson!"
Alina stared at the man and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
The man looked straight at Alina with a serious look on his face. "Your status doesn't match Wilson at all. If you insist on marrying Wilson, you will only bring trouble to him. I don't want this to happen. Furthermore, he would not fall in love with you. You knew about this, didn't you?"
Alina frowned. "You are?"
The man chuckled. "I'm York Baker, of the Baker Group!"
Alina was still frowning. She didn't know who York was. She could only sigh in her heart. She could never understand what went on in the minds of the upper class.
The man saw the confused look on Alina's face and added, "My daughter, Rosalie Baker was once Wilson's fiancée. No, she was and still is Wilson's fiancée, the person he truly loved since the beginning. No one can replace her in Wilson's heart."
Rosalie Baker? Rosalie?
This was the name that Scumbag had called out while he was drunk last night, wasn't it?
In that case, the man in front of her was the man who almost became Scumbag's father-in-law. What a twist of fate!
While she was thinking about this, Alina heard the man say, "So, Miss Alina, I urge you to leave Wilson. He won't love you!"
Alina bit her lower lip. She wanted to say that Rosalie had already passed away, hadn't she? However, she didn't say anything. Even though this man had gone to such lengths to have a meeting with her, she couldn't bear to hurt someone who had lost his daughter.
Seeing as Alina didn't speak, York was displeased. He sized Alina up and said, "Miss Alina, you are undoubtedly a beauty. Ordinary men probably would have fallen in love with your appearance. However, please believe me that Wilson is no ordinary person. Besides, my daughter is much more elegant and attractive than you. You definitely can't compare to her."
Alina still kept silent. At the same time, she had a positive impression of York.
Even though he was trying to make things difficult for her, it was only because of his dead daughter. This man in front of her loved his daughter so much.
There was a hint of esteem in Alina's eyes when she looked at York. No matter what kind of person he was, she couldn't deny that he was a good father who loved his daughter. Alina was also a daughter herself, so how could she bring herself to speak so harshly to a father who had lost his daughter?
She said gently, "Mr. York, Wilson and I are already husband and wife legally."
"What did you say?" York's expression suddenly changed. He was no longer as calm as before.
His face contorted with rage, and his voice was much louder than before. "Did you register your marriage?"
"Yes." Alina nodded politely out of respect for York.
She completely understood what he was feeling at the moment. Alina could empathize with his hatred of her because she did occupy the position that was supposed to belong to his daughter. However, she could not explain their situation to York.
"Alina, you must divorce Wilson!" York suddenly stood up and glared at Alina.
Alina looked at York in this state and was reminded of her father. Her heart ached for him.
She tried to comfort York. "Mr. York, please calm down. Wilson and I have already registered our marriage legally. I believe that if your daughter could see us right now, she would definitely bless us. Since she loved Wilson so much, she would also hope for his happiness, right?"
When York heard Alina's words, his emotions became even more heated. "Shut up!"
Alina was shocked by York's sudden outburst.
York glared angrily at Alina, his emotions frenzied. "What right do you have to mention my daughter?
"My daughter is the best daughter in the world and also Wilson's true fiancée. She is going to be Wilson's wife. She is the only person who could match Wilson perfectly and stand beside him. Who do you think you are?
"My Rosalie is not dead. She didn't die. If someone died, they would leave a body. My daughter didn't die, she vanished into thin air. Rosalie was just angry with me. She didn't want to see me for the time being, so she hid somewhere I could not find her."
"Mr. York, don't be agitated." Alina's heart ached when she heard York's words.
How could she not understand the pain of losing her loved ones? When she first lost her father, she often imagined that her father had not died. Everything was just a terrible nightmare. If only she could wake up from her dream, her father would return. He would be sitting at her bedside and stroking her forehead, saying to her, "Alina, it's time to get up. What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you!"
