Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 223

“I guess nowadays people don’t need papers to get married…” I mumbled.

“It’s not about our preferences. Her father won’t allow it,” he replied before he heaved a sigh.

“Is it because you’re too poor for her?” I asked without mincing my words.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Elizabeth’s father saw Kyle as someone who isn’t worthy of his daughter. Knowing what the real Kyle was like, if I had a daughter, I’ll keep her far away from him for sure. On top of that, if I had a fortune as massive as that of the Chase family then I would work triple hard to safeguard it and keep it away from Kyle. I knew from my time with Kyle that he was a decently well-off city boy; however, I doubt that his fortune could compare to that of the Chase family.

“When did you become so mean?” he asked before he rolled his eyes at me.

“I guess I’m right then…” I said before I laughed a little mercilessly.

“It’s not just about the money. He hates me and basically thinks that I’m a good-for-nothing person,” Kyle said before he shoved some food into his mouth.

“I can see where he’s coming from and I have to say that I truly agree with him on this one,” I replied before I flashed Kyle a smile.

“Have you had enough? Did you drag me out to dinner with you just to chew me out about this?” Kyle asked with clear irritation.

“You know when I heard that you married Elizabeth Chase, I did wonder why someone like her would want to marry someone like you…” I said as I tilted my head a little to the side.

Kyle’s eyes narrowed at me, and I could tell that he wasn’t pleased with what he had just heard. However, I didn’t care what he thought of what he felt.

“You might not believe it, but I’m trying my best to make things work out with her and also her father,” Kyle said.

“Does that include stealing my storyboard and my ideas from me too? You wanted to win that competition to impress Elizabeth and her father, is that it?” I asked before I shook my head from side to side in dismay.

I found it so difficult to believe that I used to really like this guy. I thought that he was great and a very caring person. How did he turn out to be such a cheating loser?

“Instead of bringing up the past, I think you should be more worried about the present and how to handle the future. I told you before to stay away from Ace. He’s got something fishy going on for sure…” Kyle said with a sneer.

“Don’t you dare badmouth Ace!” I snapped at him immediately.
