Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1475

Chapter 1475 Taboo

Moments later, Edmund walked into the bar.

Sabrina immediately confronted him, “Are you crazy? Why are you fooling around with a child?”

Edmund rebutted, “Didn’t you gift her this car? I’m certain that you’re the one who have lost your mind.”

They could never have a decent conversation.

Seeing all these, Riley was gloating within.

Keep it going! It’s best they have a fallout and cut off ties on bad terms. Perhaps, the Coopers might inherit the bar if that happens. And I will stand a chance to rise on top.

Unfortunately, the two were back to normal after a usual quarrel.

“How much did you make last night?”

“Over five hundred thousand. After deducting the cost, the gross profit is less than half,” Sabrina frowned as she reported the earnings she had just tabulated.

Riley stood by the side and scoffed at them.

With a net profit of two hundred over thousand within one night, a month’s earning would easily hit six million. What else does she want?

What was more astounding to her was that her brother was equally dissatisfied.

“Right. For a location like this, the regular daily revenue should achieve at least a million.”

“Shall we invest in other things?” Sabrina was fishing for new ideas while giving him an inquisitive look.

However, the man sneered. “I’m fine with anything. After all, it’s my forte. Haven’t I told you that there are plenty of options? There’s no problem with me as long as you’re able to convince your man.”

His response shut her up because she knew exactly what he was trying to hint at her.

Convince Devin? Hmph! He didn’t even agree to me opening up a bar. As a wife to an honorable leader in the military, I should really pick the type of business I want to do.

Hence, Moonlight Bar was registered under Sebastian’s name.

Should I venture into something else? Gambling? Or hire a few pole dancers?

In the end, Sabrina rolled her eyes at Edmund and left thereafter.

When Edmund was about to leave the bar, Riley stopped him.

“Did you sneak out from work again? Edmund, are you aware that it’s mid-year now? The employee performance review for the Audit Department is just around the corner. There’s a slim chance you’ll be promoted if you keep behaving this way.”

“Haha…”

After closing the bar, she went home, only to find her home-alone mother lamenting. Her sisters were nowhere to be seen.

“What’s wrong, Mom? Why are you always sighing?” Riley asked.

Gabriella responded, “Nothing, I’m just thinking when will days like these end. Though your brother has got a job now with the government, his salary isn’t much. How is that enough to cover all the expenses?”

She continued, “Oh, should we matchmake him with a good family? What about those from the Senate? This way, we can ride along and have a better life.”

Gabriella started scheming.

Riley’s face fell when she heard that.

“Mom, do you think that the situation we’re in now isn’t troubled enough? He’s just starting to settle down in the department, and here you are, asking for another round of tussle. Let me warn you that you’re going to beg on the streets if you piss him off!”

Feeling indignant, she lashed out on her mother.

Yes, no one in the entire Cooper family should irritate Edmund. Otherwise, none of us will live to see the daylight.

Riley knew him too well. There might be room for discussion if it concerns other matters. Marriage is taboo. He’s extremely reticent about his personal affairs.

She had prepared herself to accept the fact that he only wanted to give his all to that woman.

As long as he rebuilds the family name, I’ll never ever use marriage to threaten him and put him in an emotional quandary.
