CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 A Mother's Fury

Wilfred raised an eyebrow, but he didn't lay it bare.

He shook hands with Paul and said, "Hello, can we go inside and talk?"

"Of course, please come on in." Paul was going out, but since the two had arrived, he dismissed the idea.

Lilian didn't know what Wilfred was up to, but this man was reliable enough, so she followed them inside.

Paul warmly invited them inside, serving water and fruits.

Once inside, Wilfred glanced around the room. The sofa was slightly messy with a worn-out blanket piled on top, completely out of place in this luxurious room.

He picked up the blanket, and without even sniffing it, the unmistakable scent of an elderly person wafted into his nose.

"Oh, Mr. Landau, it's dirty. Let me take it inside." Paul grabbed the blanket and hurried into the bathroom, tossing it into the laundry basket.

Wilfred walked around the room, noticing a bowl and a set of kitchenware resting on top of the wine cabinet beside the dining room.

Someone was cooking in the kitchen, but the door was closed, so he couldn't see who it was.

After Paul came out, Wilfred asked him, "Is your wife cooking in the kitchen?"

Paul's expression changed. His wife had gone to her mother's house, and it was his mother who was cooking.

He forced a smile and said, "Well, it's my mother. You know, old people can't sit still."

Wilfred nodded and returned to the sofa, sitting down. "Let's get down to business."

Paul's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together. "Did your wife tell you?"

Wilfred nodded. "Yes, she did. So, there's no need for you to put on a show here. Get straight to the point."

Paul chuckled. It seemed that the old woman still had some status in the Landau family after all these years. Now that Mr. Landau was here, he could extort a sum of money.
