Falling For My Mysterious Wife by Cassidy Alfaro novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Marie obviously understood it as well. Just as she was about to talk about the fine, Jalen spoke again.

“Good thing that your father only needs to pay the fine. After paying taxes and re-organizing the company’s financial affairs, he won’t need to get in jail.”

Marie bit her lip and then slowly said, “But the fine is huge. My dad… He can’t afford it.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jalen instantly frowned.

He looked at Marie and asked, “Are you saying that the Dunston Group can’t pay a few million dollars?”

“My dad…”

“Marie, you are an adult. I want to know your own ideas, not what your father told you,” Jalen interrupted her, obviously displeased with her.

Marie was a little flustered, and then she felt a strong sense of unease.

For so many years, it was the first time Jalen had been so stern to her.

“I see, Jalen. My father will take care of this matter himself. I won’t interfere.” If she continued to

intervene and ask Jalen for help, Jalen would dislike her sooner or later.

To Marie, her parents and the Dunston Group were not as important as the man in front of her.

It was just that…

Marie remembered what she had just heard outside the door about Dr. Gainsford being actually Jalen’s ex-wife…

She only knew that Jalen’s ex-wife was a country woman. Therefore, even though Marie had never

met Elaina, she didn’t take Elaina seriously before. But now, Marie finally knew that Elaina was so

capable. More importantly, Jalen seemed to have mixed feelings toward her. Now that he knew that

Dr. Gainsford was his ex-wife, he might come back to her again.

If they remarried…

Marie didn’t dare to imagine it.

No, she had to do something.

“Jalen, let’s have lunch together at noon. We haven’t eaten together for long,” she suggested with a

smile.
