Chapter 1584 It all Depends on Your Action
Nicole firmly pinched the tender flesh of her palm, her face filled with determination. "No, Dad. Someone wants me—the eldest son of the Fawlers, Aaron Fawler. He shares the same goal as us and is outside the door right now. I swear I won't let Gareth and Elisa get away with it this time!"
Nicole uttered ruthlessly as she hissed the two names that she loathed.
Bernard narrowed his eyes and said skeptically, "Nicole, your reputation is tarnished. How could the Fawlers possibly want you?"
Bernard couldn't believe it. The more powerful and influential a family was, the less likely they would want to be tied down to someone with a tarnished reputation. Social status and reputation were what these elite families valued the most.
No, in fact, any family would value a clean reputation.
"Dad, he came back with me this time, and he's right outside the door." Nicole knew her father wouldn't believe her, so she stood up and turned to the door, calling, "Aaron, come in."
He swiftly entered the room after hearing Nicole calling for him, as he had been observing everything closely from outside.
Aaron was over six feet tall and had an elegant figure. He was dressed in a pristine white shirt and well-tailored black trousers that fitted perfectly to his stature.
Judging from his appearance, he and Nicole made a good match.
Aaron walked towards them and nodded at Bernard. "Hi, Mr. Tabor. My name is Aaron. I love Nicole and would like to marry her. I'm also willing to get your family out of this situation."
He greeted them firmly and confidently.
Sharon studied him carefully, sizing him up while she deliberated over his offer.
The Tabors had always fantasized about establishing a relationship with Gareth and the Wickam family. Now that someone of similar status was willing to marry Nicole and help the Tabor family out of its current situation, they felt nothing but delight.
Not to mention, Aaron's presentable appearance made the offer more appealing.
However, Bernard was still skeptical as he mulled over Aaron's sudden proposal.
"Nicole has a tarnished reputation now. Would you still like her if she has feelings for another man? Will your family accept it?" Bernard vocalized his doubts, trying to discern Aaron's true intentions.
Bernard had been in the business world for many years. Reading people was one of the skills that he had expertise in after all the hurdles he had been through.
He could tell that Aaron was not an ordinary man from his actions.
That kind of aura couldn't be faked.
Naturally, he doubted Aaron's intentions as there was no reason for such a decent man to take in his infamous daughter.
"I appeared only after she started to have feelings for Gareth. That's just how the world works. It's impossible to expect everyone to like me. I am happy to help her with all my power because she is all that matters to me. And I truly believe, with time and companionship, she will feel the same way about me, sooner or later."
Aaron trailed his gaze over Nicole's figure as he spoke.
The tenderness and affection in his gaze could not be faked.
Bernard and Sharon, who had plenty of experience in life, could sense that his feelings towards Nicole were sincere.
If Aaron had kept his promise, everything would be back in place as it should be. Nicole could find a good home, and the Tabor family could turn things around for once.
Still doubtful about the seemingly altruistic proposition, Bernard stated firmly, "Words are empty. It all depends on your actions."
"Mr. Tabor, I understand your concerns. I will prove everything through my actions," Aaron's attitude was unyielding, and he held himself with a confident stance.
After sending Aaron off, Bernard instructed his assistant to handle the discharge procedures.
