Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 893

Chapter 893 Madeline Helping the Enemy

Danny went up to console Madeline. “Oh, my. Just sit and relax. You’re acting so anxious that people might think you’re the one marrying today.”

“Ugh. Just go away and stop babbling nonsense.” She rolled her eyes. Following that, he chuckled and continued to ramble on about random topics, which calmed the anxious atmosphere.

Time went by quickly and it was already half an hour later, but Ariel’s mother was still nowhere to be seen. Taking a look at his watch, Danny discreetly called for Ariel to meet him outside the private room. “Is everything fine on your mom’s side? Why don’t you call and ask her?”

That was exactly Ariel’s intention, so she immediately phoned her mother. “Mom, where are you?”

“I’m still at the hotel,” replied Rebecca Caddel, her mother, in a cold tone.

“Didn’t we agree to meet the Griffiths at Gleaming Gold Restaurant? Have you forgotten about that? It doesn’t matter. I’m heading over now to bring you there.”

While saying so, Ariel was about to hang up when she was stopped by her mother. “You don’t have to do that.” Rebecca’s tone was firm. “I didn’t forget about it. To tell you the truth, I have no intention of going!”

“Are you going back on your words? Mom, that would make the others think that we, Whitneys, have no morals.” Ariel was feeling defeated.

“Others? You meant the Griffiths, right? The matter between you two hasn’t been decided yet, and they’re already complaining about us. I think the Griffith Family doesn’t have much morality either. Tell them to say whatever they want to my face.” Rebecca was still acting insufferably arrogant.

Ariel gave Danny a conflicted look before moving away from him and covering the phone’s speaker to express her dissatisfaction to her mom as best as she could. “You’ve been urging me to get married to a rich man for so many years. I’ve finally found such an excellent son-in-law for you, yet you’re here putting on airs. I don’t understand, Mom. What are you dissatisfied with?”

“What are you trying to say? You haven’t even married him, yet you’re already taking his side. Suppose you want to put in a good word for the Griffiths that badly, then fine. I’ll agree to meet them under two conditions. First, Danny International Finance Corporation must be under your name, and secondly, your child must have our last name, Whitney. If they don’t agree to my conditions, there’s no need to meet up for dinner tonight and we can avoid ruining each other’s night.”

“You’re being unreasonable. Who in the world would agree to such an unreasonable—”

Tut. Tut. Tut…

Without giving Ariel a chance to further discuss the matter, Rebecca hung up right after stating her condition.

Meanwhile, Ariel clutched her phone and exhaled a long breath. Throughout her career, she was never afraid of dealing with any sorts of challenging incidents in her field. Yet, the only thing she failed to master was her relationships at home.

“What did Mrs. Whitney say?” asked Danny while leaning in.

She found it hard to tell him, so she kept shaking her head. “Why don’t we call off today’s dinner?”

“No way.” He became anxious and grabbed her hand while asking gently, “You can tell me. What’s the matter?”

She was the woman he had thought about marrying for seven years, so how could he let things slip through his fingers at the very last moment?
