Aileen suddenly feels that she becomes even more frightening like this. Her engagement has nothing to do with him. Could there be any conflict with his interests? Is she being used?
"Dad, I think it's bizarre that elder brother does not bring sister-in-law over for such a big occasion." Aileen decides to test him.
After hearing that, Augus immediately opens his mouth and says, "That woman won't be able to come, she's already..."
It is until then that he realises that he has said the wrong thing, so he immediately changes the topic. "I won't care so much about their affairs. Now you just need to do your part and become Richard's wife, it will be beneficial to our company in the future."
When Aileen hears the last sentence, she finally understands this man's purpose. It is all for the benefit of the company. No wonder he is smiling so brightly. She feels that she is going to die being engaged in this marriage somehow.
And from Augus’s words just now, she clearly knows that something is not quite right. Can it be that Miya is really in his hands?
"Dad, did you kidnap sister-in-law?" Aileen does not want to beat around the bush, so she might as well just ask him directly and straight to the point.
Augus’s body trembles slightly as if he does not expect Aileen to be so direct.
"How can you talk nonsense about such things?" Augus is obviously looking guilty.
His reaction has already betrayed him.
Aileen is now looking at him with an unfaithful face, "So you really kidnapped sister-in-law, why did you do that?"
Hearing Aileen uttering out the words without thinking, Augus’s entire body is on the verge of exploding in anger, how does he raise such a disappointing daughter?
"What are you babbling about? How can you talk nonsense about such things?" Augus speaks in annoyance.
"I didn't expect you to be despicable like this. Tell me, where did you hide sister-in-law?" Aileen decides to seek justice for her sister-in-law this time.
"Now that your wings are hard and you can fly, you are getting bolder, aren't you? I'm telling you, if you continue to meddle in my affairs, I won't even let you go." After Augus says this, he turns around and leaves in a rage, not expecting his daughter to anger him like this. It is really infuriating.
"Hey... " Aileen wants to chase after him initially. But after thinking about it, it seems like she is too worked out just now, she might have alerted him instead of catching him off guard. But she really can’t hold back the anger in her heart.
Augus can’t care much now and decides to just go straight ahead. He originally comes here just to hear them talk about engagement news. He is very delighted because if his son-in-law can invest in his own company, it will be a significant amount of money. It will definitely bring his company back to life. If the company continues like before, it will definitely end desperately.
Suddenly, someone lightly taps Augus's shoulder, and he turns around very impatiently, even wanting to curse at that person. Who knows that the person he sees behind him is actually Richard. He immediately says to Richard with a playful smile, "Mr Richard is really young and promising. My daughter will be so honoured to be married to Mr Richard."
Richard’s face was expressionless, but the corners of his mouth are filled with disdain. In fact, he has been trailing behind Augus, and has heard the whole conversation between Augus and Aileen just now.
"I heard that your company seems to be very short of funds lately." Richard immediately opens his mouth to say.
