Brady told Koen to endure it and then pour the entire bottle onto Koen’s chest.
The pain was like tearing muscles all over his body apart, and Koen remembered it till now.
Koen figured that Brady asked Irene to come here with the wine today, since Brady was trying to remind him of this.
Irene might have known about it. They just wanted to make sure that Koen didn’t forget about it.
“Koen, so, the wine represents some agreement between you and my grandpa?”
Seeing Koen nod, Irene put the bottle on the table and got up to leave.
whatsoever. “Koen, if I had known about it, I wouldn’t have brought the wine to see you I’m leaving now, and you may pretend I never came.” Irene turned around and was about to leave.
Koen hurriedly said, “Come back. It’s not all about that.”
He could not tell whether Irene was putting on an act or not. Perhaps she was telling half the truth.
“Have you seen him?” Koen asked.
Irene looked depressed and then nodded. “Yes, I have. Manuel ***me very much.”
“He dotes on Serina the most, so it makes sense.” Koen glanced at her thoughtfully.
Irene lowered her eyes and pinched her hand hard, thinking, am I no match for Serina at all?
“Koen, 1 know how he is feeling right now. I’m sure he ***my guts. However, getting engaged is a big deal. No matter how he scolds me or ***me, I don’t care. Yet now that the Wade family has become the target of public criticism, I’m afraid that we will become the laughingstock of the entire Seattle tomorrow,” Irene said dejectedly.
Koen’s majestic eyes were cold. “How do you want me to help you? Serina is his sister and my granddaughter. I don’t want to forgive you for hurting her, but I guess I have no choice after you bring me the wine.”
Irene said dejectedly, “Koen, I know. I just want you to talk to him.”
“That’s it?”
“Yes. That’s it.” Irene nodded.
Seeing that Koen had agreed, Irene hurriedly got up and left. “I’ll get out of your hair now.”
“Go back and tell Brady that I’m already old, and having wine for once is already enough for me,” he said meaningfully.
Irene did not dare to disobey. She said, “Sure. I will tell him.”
After Irene returned home, before she could stand still, she saw Brady, who was standing at the top of the stairs, looking at her from above.
He asked, “Well?”
Irene said, still trying to collect herself, “Koen has already agreed to help me persuade
Manuel. Manuel barely disobeys Koen.”
Brady was not relieved by Irene’s words. He stared into her eyes and said, “Then what about Manuel? Did you get to see him?”
Under Brady’s eagle-like sharp gaze, Irene knew that there was no way she could lie to him. She tentatively replied, “Grandpa, I saw Manuel and Korbin.”
Korbin was the one the Wade Group was trying to work with recently.
Brady was not ****. When he heard Irene’s words, he knew that they could kiss the cooperation goodbye.
“Manuel did it?” Brady’s words sounded like a question, but he said them with certainty.
“Yes, Grandpa.”
Brady snorted coldly, “***! I’ve nurtured you for so long and even sent you abroad. Yet you can’t even hold on to a man. You are Manuel’s childhood sweetheart who grew up with him after all. Why can’t you hold a candle to that woman?”
