Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 247

"Ms. Alvarado, please don't take what I said to heart. It's just that I don't have good manners. When someone makes me mad, I like to throw my cup at them. I really can't hold back. I'm nothing like you, Ms. Alvarado. You're so gentle and poised. You even manage to put up with a disobedient brother. Honestly, I have to say, I admire you, Ms. Alvarado."

Lisa had never felt this uncomfortable in her entire life. Her palms were actually starting to sweat.

Ayla suddenly wanted to laugh. Halle was really good at using sarcasm to cut people down. She could leave someone totally embarrassed, and that person would still have to smile and apologize to her.

Rolf couldn't take any more. He slammed his hand on the table, the sound echoing through the private room. His face turned stormy. "Halle, who do you think you are, mocking my sister?"

Lisa got angry. "Rolf, what's your problem?"

Rolf turned around, his expression dark. "Lisa, she's insulting me."

"She should. You really are out of line."

Halle quickly held her back. "Ms. Alvarado, don't get upset. Your brother actually has some redeeming qualities. At least he can pick up on what I really mean. If he couldn't, wouldn't you be even more annoyed?"

Lisa really couldn't handle Halle's sharp tongue. She wished Halle would just stop talking, but everything Halle said hit home. "Ms. Kinsman, you don't have to try to comfort me."

Rolf was on the verge of exploding. "Fine, since you're getting along so well, you two can keep chatting. I'm leaving."

Lisa's face turned pale.

But Rolf ignored how Lisa felt. He just turned and walked out with a cold look.

Ayla glanced back at Lisa. As an older sister herself, she really understood how Lisa must feel right now. She was definitely furious.

Kaleb was different. Even if he didn't agree, he would never embarrass her in public. What Rolf did showed he didn't care that much about Lisa. Not being able to tell right from wrong was a separate issue.

As soon as Rolf pulled open the door, he ran into Conrad. His face changed.

Conrad saw Rolf's expression and immediately figured out he was about to leave.

Conrad's voice was stern. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Dad... "

"Shut up and get back in there."

Rolf's eyebrows drew together, clearly unwilling. Even though he could defy Lisa, he didn't dare talk back to his dad.

So Rolf dragged himself back inside.

Lisa didn't even look at him now.

Conrad didn't come in. He turned and gestured for someone to enter.

Then Draven walked in.

"Mr. Storm, Mr. Porter, this way please." Conrad was extremely polite and then introduced them to everyone in the room. Everyone knew Draven already, but the man with him was a high-level official from the securities commission, Dustin Porter.
