His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 259

"Have you seen it? Whatever you say, no one will believe you here. This is the consequence of refusing my offer, " Hoada Masahiro slyly whispered to Autumn as he walked past her.

"You..." Autumn muttered, as she gritted her teeth. "Mr. Lu, I am sorry for what happened. I have some ideas on some collaborations between Light House Company and Shining Company. How about we go and have a chat in private?" Mr. Seiten turned to Charles, while ignoring Autumn.

"Wait a minute, " Charles finally opened his mouth after silently observing the entire charade unfold, noticing that Hoada was nudging Autumn to leave.

He had been patiently waiting as Hoada tried to frame Autumn. Not until everyone present was convinced of Hoada's story did he intend to expose the whole lie. In this way, Hoada would feel ashamed and guilty of his actions.

"Mr. Lu, what's the matter?" Hoada asked, as a hint of concern flashed across his face. Charles was the only uncertain factor he hadn't considered. Somewhere in his mind the fear grew that Charles would ruin his plan. And once he heard Charles's voice, cold sweat started to run down his wrinkled forehead while his eyes began twitching.

He had a bad feeling.

"This matter isn't over, not yet anyway. Why are you in such a hurry to shoo her away?" Charles asked with a confident sneer hinting at the fact that there was something Hoada was hiding.

Upon hearing this, Hoada became anxious. "Isn't that matter solved? She is a woman. It's indecent to put more pressue upon her. Mr. Lu, please just let it be, " Hoada responded with a smile pretending to be calm, even though he was bubbling with fear and anxiety inside.

"But when I walked in, I saw you slip a room card into her hand. Besides, you even threatened her to serve you well if she wanted more project budget allotted. I don't know why Mr. Seiten has even accepted such an subordinate, " Charles said with confidence.

"Mr. Lu, " Seiten tried to stop Charles, as he looked a little angry. However, at this point it was impossible. Charles did not respond.

"Mr. Lu, what is it that you want from me?" Hoada couldn't help but frown as resigned to his fate. "You're taking this too seriously. I am just a man and please remember no one is perfect."

"How about this? As long as you let me go this time, I will return your favor in any way I possibly can, " Hoada whispered to Charles after he walked up to him.

"What is the budget he offered you?" Charles gave a cold laughter and turned towards Autumn.

When Autumn was working on event scheme the previous night, he kept her company. It was then easy to say he was well equipped to roughly assume the expenses this event needed. Autumn was stunned, and then she blurted the budget as she had been told.

It was a small figure which was much lower than even half of the budget Seiten had slotted. Seiten's face turned red with displeasure for he realized that Hoada must have planned to misappropriate the rest of the fund.

Even though Seiten was discontented with Hoada's actions, he still had no intention of berating him in front of all the esteemed guests present there. "Mr. Lu, it is not a big deal. I think that we should talk about our cooperation matters. Don't let this small hiccup ruin your mood, " Seiten tried to persuade Charles, after passing Hoada a reproachful glance.

"Mr. Seiten is right, " Hoada added, looking worried as he knew that Seiten would berate him soon. Irrespective of that, he tried to get past it. "Please don't waste any more of your valuable time on this trivial matter."

"This wasn't a big deal, but..." Charles said with a cold smile.

"But there is one thing you don't know. Autumn is my wife. So do you think I need to sacrifice my wife's dignity to get more budget? Or... do you think that my wife will cheat on me because Hoada is more handsome and attractive than me?" Charles said to Hoada and Seiten, after he walked up to Autumn.
