Alan rarely got angry and always loved Angie, his only daughter, but now he got mad at Angie, which made her shrink back and kept her silent.
Alan saw that and snorted, "Since Mrs. Lucia said that she would cultivate you like her future daughter-in-law, then you should obey her and follow whatever she says. That will benefit you when you marry into the Lu family in the future. After you become the real Mrs. Lu, will you find it hard to retrieve your dignity?"
Angie opened and shut her mouth discontentedly. She wanted to talk, but stopped when she saw Alan’s face.
Her eyes drew back slowly. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I see."
Alan felt sorry about this situation, thinking to himself that he had spoiled his child.
But now, it was what it was.
In addition, Alan was afraid of another thing deep inside his heart.
Although he had made so many speculations on William’s identity before, it never occurred to Alan that not only was William from the Lu family, he was also a trueborn. It wouldn’t be great if the Lu family knew that Angie had married before and also had a child.
"Have you handled what happened in Melbourne properly? Are you sure there won’t be any potential problems?" Alan said all of a sudden.
Angie was somewhat unwilling to mention that affair, but now she just answered indistinctly, "Dad, don’t worry about it. There will be no problem."
That would be great. There were still opportunities!
Alan nodded.
Vanessa saw that the tension between the two had been eased, so she sighed with relief, "Well, you know very well about Angie’s personality. She just complains in front of us, but actually, she is quite sensible, so don’t worry about her. Angie, don’t blame your dad. He was doing that for your own good. Do you understand?"
Angie nodded casually.
Alan remained silent.
When Angie went upstairs to have a rest, Vanessa followed her immediately, hoping that she would teach Angie some skills at pleasing her future mother-in-law.
Alan cast his gaze at the bodyguard Six-ears at the door. Alan had a bright glint in his sparkling eyes.
"Six!" Alan waved his hand.
Six-ears’s eyes shone a bit, and he walked up to Alan with a flattering smile, "Director Alan."
Alan nodded, looked at Six-ears, and gave a warm smile, "Have a seat. Make yourself at home."
Six-ears looked at Alan with some imperceptible wariness in his eyes. He made an utmost effort to conceal his mood, and sat down carefully on the sofa.
He had been in the jail, so naturally he wouldn’t be afraid to be thrown behind the bars. However, the last time when he had been taken to the police office by that guy William, he had suffered a lot on the way, which could be considered the toughest time during his whole life.
But the most important thing was that he was an outcast now. Although he had been rescued by someone, he had no idea who that person was.
The only thing he knew was that after he had been released, he was arranged to be around with Alan.
He had learned something about Alan.
He was quite discreet, shrewd and ruthless.
And just because of that, he didn’t get it even more.
So he could only do everything with caution.
But he would not forget his enemy, William!
Six-ears had a wicked glint in his eyes at this thought.
It was all because of him!
Alan took in every detail of Six-ears’ facial expressions. He was sniggering in his mind cunningly and said, "I know you used to be someone influential. You are a capable person, so I feel relieved to have you protect Angie. However, I need you to remember something. I don’t care what happened to you before, but now that you’re working for me, keep yourself from troubles. Get it?"
