Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 23

"Hehehe!"

Winner gave a small sad chuckle. His heart skipped a beat and a guilty look appeared on his face.

Winner thought, 'If Shirley figures out that I tried but failed to kidnap Jean, the consequences would be terrible.'

"What's wrong with you?" Shirley asked. Sensing something was wrong with her bother, Shirley studied Winner.

Winner replied," Well, it's okay. I'm fine. I'm just trying to come up with a plan to help father. Unfortunately, I don't have what it takes to do something like that." Winner stopped to rub his chin before continuing," Sister, I believe you are smarter than me. You are capable of accomplishing such an important task. As for me, I'd like to continue my computer games and management studies. One day if our father falls ill, I would take over his company. I have to learn so that I have the ability to manage our company. Don't you think so? Am I right?"

As Winner finished speaking, he began imagining what it would be like to manage such a big company. He forgot about his guilt as he thought of what he would do with the money and how the women would flock to him once they learned of his status. A smile grew on his face as he thought, 'If Zed sues father and the shock causes father's health to deteriorate, the responsibility of running the company would come to me.

That would be awesome!' Winner was excited by this thought.

Shirley glared at Winner. She was a little disappointed in her brother.

She cried out loud," Winner, you're such a bad son!"

Shirley's high-pitched scream shook Winner to the bone. He snapped out of his day-dreaming and gazed at his sister. He was at a loss for what to do.

"What's the matter with you?"

Winner asked in his usual casual tone.

Upon hearing what Winner had said, Shirley's blood boiled. She stuck her finger on his nose, gritted her teeth, and said," How can you say that about our father? You would not be living a comfortable life right now if it wasn't for his hard work and money. How dare you put a curse on our father? What could be more wrong than that?"

Winner knew that Shirley was really angry with him right now. But he was not afraid of her at all. He burst into laughter after glancing at her furious face. He couldn't believe she had taken something like that so seriously. Then, he scoffed," Sister, if there is something wrong with me, then there is something wrong with you. You have been trying your best to drive Jean over the edge. Finally, you succeeded in getting her out of the house. Our parents love you, so they always believed you when you complained about her. However, you are no better than me. You're in no position to accuse me."

Winner's face still wore a casual smile.

Shirley couldn't understand why Winner wouldn't take her seriously. She was too angry to say another word.

At that moment, someone kicked the door wide open.

"Bang!"

Upon hearing the loud noise, Shirley and Winner turned around at the same time.

Shirley gasped when she saw their father's furious face. She had rarely seen him that angry before.

Shirley's heart gave a horrible jolt and Winner also got a bad feeling.

As far as they could remember, the only time their father got so angry was when Jean had done something wrong.

Shirley forced a smile after the shock she had felt, settled. Then, she asked tentatively," Dad, what are you doing home? Aren't you supposed to be at the office? By the way, where is our mom?"

After asking those questions, Shirley looked out the door hoping to see their mother.

Shirley frowned when she didn't see Joy.

When Henry didn't answer Shirley, Winner thought he could distract their father.

And so, Winner smiled and asked Henry," Well, dad, what are you doing back? Are you OK? You were supposed to be at the company dealing with something important, weren't you?"

"What did you say just now? Do you dare to repeat it?"

Henry didn't pay any attention to Winner's question. Instead, he dared Winner to speak again. Then he turned his eyes upon his son with a deadly look.

Winner was sure that their father had heard both, his and Shirley's questions. Winner could also guess why their father was upset. He thought, 'What do I do?'

Winner decided to ease attention away from himself. And so, he gave Shirley a little push. Since she was standing close to Winner, he thought their father would not be able to see him.

Unluckily, Winner's movement was seen by Henry.
