The Innocent Wife of Scheming President novel Chapter 454

Mrs. Meyer hugged her daughter and advised her, “My silly daughter, haven’t you seen through that man’s heart? He didn’t love you, there was no place for you in his heart. He was willing to die with that woman together and didn’t want you. Why do you still stupidly feeling sad for him? Would he respond to it? Had he ever taken pity on you? Ophelia, you’re still young and beautiful, a lot of men pursue you, so why putting wholeheartedly on that heartless man? It’s not that you can’t get married. Why do you have to be looked down upon by the Hoyle?”

Finn also followed his wife’s words to comfort their daughter, “Yes. People have to look forward. Alan Hoyle doesn’t like you, so dad will find you a man who is one hundred or even a thousand times better than him. It happens to be there is a banquet tonight. Later, I’ll ask someone to pick a beautiful dress for you. Listen to dad now, eat something, then take a nap, regain your energy, and then accompany your mom and dad to the banquet.”

Mrs. Meyer was taken aback for a moment, “Am I going too?”

“Yes. We all go. Mr. Steward has invited us whole family.”

Mr. Meyer had other plans in his mind. Although his daughter wasn’t devastatingly beautiful, she was a natural beauty. Even the winners of beauty pageants might not be comparable. At his home’s front door just now, he received a call from Simon.

Simon said, “Mr. Meyer, our boss has already boarded a flight to Jiangcheng. If it’s not too surprising, he’ll attend tonight’s banquet. You can personally discuss about Ted Dulles’s South Asia cooperation with him.”

It was like a huge temptation to attract him. He knew that if he still wanted to uphold his magnanimous elder status, he should avoid suspicion at this time, should be low-profile and show sorrowful. But, if he could get along with Steward and ask his daughter to charm him, wouldn’t it be able to fill in the hole which been accumulating his business over the years?

It was heard that Steward was still very young, not a gray-haired old man. If his daughter could be with such person, she wouldn’t suffer, and would be able to wash away the humiliation of being abandoned by Alan Hoyle.

Besides, although most people thought that the Hoyle Group’s shares drain, which was under his doing, was lost by that weak Mrs. Hoyle, this could only be covered up for a while. Although Alan Hoyle was also dead now, he was afraid that his small move would pull him out of the death. He had to find a strong backer in advance.

Since Steward had a good impression of him now, why shouldn’t he strike while the iron was hot? Even if he didn’t like his daughter, lesbian relation was also very useful.

But obviously, Ophelia didn’t want to cooperate with her dad’s hidden deep thoughts, “If you guys want to go, then go. I don’t want to. Alan has just passed away, and you…”

She groaned, got up, and turned to run upstairs, slamming close the door.

Mrs. Meyer chased after her and patted at the door, “Ophelia, open the door first. Listen to mom and dad. This is all for your good…”

Something hit the door and Ophelia screamed from the room, “I don’t want to listen. Go away.”

Finn also stood at the door, “Ophelia, if you don’t want to go, then fine. But you can’t keep locking yourself in your room all day. You don’t eat or drink since last night. Come out and eat something, won’t you?”

The couple knocked for a long time, but there was no any response.

Mrs. Meyer put her ear on the door. The room was silence. She sighed and helplessly said, “Mom will prepare some desserts and fruits, then put them in front of your door. If you’re hungry, you can take them in and eat them by yourself. Don’t starve yourself, it’s not worth it.”

In the afternoon, when Mrs. Meyer was choosing clothes for the banquet, she kept feeling uneasy, as if something was about to happen. Her anxiety became more obvious on her face.

Finn looked at her. The bed was full of clothes and none of them were suitable, including the newly-made ones. He couldn’t help but frowned. It was troublesome for a woman to choose a dress. She had become old and faded, so why did she still like to dress up?

“What’s wrong?”

“Honey, I think we’d better not go,” Mrs. Meyer said cautiously. She thought about it for a long time, but she still thought it was better to keep a low profile at this time. “I think Ophelia is right. Alan just had an accident, but we dress up to go to the banquet. What will others think of us? We’ll be the talk of the town.”

Finn sighed softly, “How can I not understand what you said? But this opportunity is rare. Steward’s whereabouts are uncertain all the year around. It’s not easy to meet him. Besides, Ophelia didn’t know the situation of our company. Don’t you understand?”

“I don’t know why, I always feel that the origin of this Steward is unknown and I’m a little worried. And don’t you think Hoyle Group was destroyed too easily? I keep thinking it’s a façade,” Mrs. Meyer said out loud her worry.

This worry once flashed in Finn’s mind, but now everything was already settled. Alan had gone to the heaven. Doctor said that it was likely for Mrs. Hoyle not to wake up. As for Ada Hoyle and Aoba Hoyle, compared with their eldest brother, their gaps were too big and he had never been worried of them.

He had dealt with all the difficulties. What was there to be afraid of he couldn’t handle these two little ones in the future?

“You women like to think too much. Hoyle Group’s owner had changed its name now. Even if Alan Hoyle comes alive and wants to turn the tide, he can’t change the fact.” What was more, the chance of his survival was simply impossible.

It was heard that Aoba was now organizing a fleet to salvage at the sea. He wanted to retrieve their corpses. This kid and Ada had a flight back to Jiangcheng earlier than their eldest brother, making them escape from the misfortune. Considered them being lucky. But he was afraid that Alan’s body had long entered a shark’s belly.
