Be My Wife, Be Rich by Charlotte Aaron Novel

Chapter 4

“Backoff, Fiona Harrell!” Macy reared as she tore up the photos like a madwoman. Snatching the pictures from everyone-well, everyone but Sebastian, she wouldn’t dare mess with him-Macy ripped them to bits. “Hal Try getting these out now!”

But Fiona was chill, “Rip away. I got loads more where those came from, Want extras? I’ll print and ship them!”

Macy, shaking with rage, painted at Fiona. “You could wreck Alexa with this. If you do, forget us ever being family again-”

Fiona cut her off, grinning. “Zip it, Mrs. Harrell Think I wanna be your kid? As if I’ve got tons of copies. Anything happens to me, they’re hitting every hotspot by sunrise. Keep pushing and everyone from here to Paellan will know Alexa’s a faker, a man stealer!”

Charlotte stared at Fiona-they had totally miscalculated her. Those photos could ruin Alexa and Nathan, and Vicente, Nathan’s great-grandpa, -the one who set up this whole engagement thing-wouldn’t be too happy with Nathan either. Charlotte glanced at Sebastian and said, “How dare you try to pull such a scheme on the Quinn family!”

Sebastian just fiddled with his turquoise bracelet and took a seat, “Mind your words, it’s not the Quinn family’s problem, it’s your business.”

Fiona found the voice eerily familiar and couldn’t help but glance toward Sebastian, immediately dispelling the doubts in her mind. Such a handsome man with such an outstanding demeanor, if she had met him before, she would certainly not have forgotten.

Charlotte was stumped, tongue-tied.

Alexa gave Sebastian the sad eyes. “Uncle Sebastian, you can’t control the heart, right? Forcing it leads to a lifetime of blues, We did this for Fiona’s goodness. We weren’t trying to cause a scene or drag you guys through the mud!”

Macy blew a fuse, her anger targeted at Fiona, “Everything I’ve done… and she’s got the nerve to sass me!”

sebastian smirked, “What, you think I don’t know love?”

Alexa scrambled, turning to Sebastian blankly, “No, no, Uncle Sebastian, I didn’t mean…” She was fuming inside, “Shouldn’t he be grilling Fiona for the threats? Why target me?”

Sebastian’s look went cold as steel, saying “Even your dad needs to address me ‘Mr. Quinn.”

Alexa went all sober, correcting herself, “Sorry, Mr. Quinn.”

And there sat Fiona, thinking, “Wait, shouldn’t be the one getting an apology?”

It was like Sebastian and Fiona were thinking the same thing when Sebastian pointed at her and said to Alexa, “You don’t owe me an apology.”

Say sorry to Fiona? That was the last thing Alexa wanted to do.

“Not up for it?” Sebastian spoke lightly,

Sebastian’s cool voice caught Alexa off guard. She mumbled, “Sorry, Fiona. My bad. You are my sis and I am close with Nathan even knowing he is yours. Although I think you don’t have feelings for each other, I should’ve backed off. Yell at me, hit me-it’s cool. But leave Uncle Sebastian out. Why drag him

into our mess?”

Fiona watched Alexa trying to sound innocent and let out a snort, “Spare me the act, And let me make it clear-I am not your sis. It’s gross coming from someone messing with someone else’s guy.”

Alexa’s glare was fierce. Holding back her temper, she nodded silently and started crying, playing the victim.

Chapter 4

Mon, 3 Jun

Macy couldn’t take it anymore; she hugged Alexa and shot daggers at Sebastian and Fiona, “Can we wrap this up?”

“What do you think?” Sebastian asked Fiona

60%

Fiona paused. She had thought Sebastian would side with Alexa and was ready for a fight. Instead, here she was, getting to call the shots. She imitated. Alexa’s act and said, “I’m still pretty mad and upset, honestly.”

Macy snapped, “Enough, Fiona Harrell!”

Sebastian smiled slyly at her, “What do you wanna do then?”

Fiona’s eyes twinkled with mischiel She pointed at Alexa and then at Nathan. “You, say ‘I messed up twenty times. You, keep count!”

Nathan was about to lose his temper when Sebastian’s stern took shut him up.

“Just do it!” Sebastian ordered.

The room was tense. Fiona, pretending to be all worn out, added, “No? Then the photos go out. I’ve got the headlines ready, anyway.”

Charlotte’s face went pale. With Sebastian on Fiona’s side, she couldn’t do anything but fume silently. She nudged Nathan.

Swallowing his shame, Nathan stood in front of Alexa and said, “Alright, Alexa, just do it.” It felt small compared to the thought of his high class friends getting to know he got a fiancée like Fiona, the bumpkin

Alexa, pale as a ghost, shut her eyes and started shouting, “I messed up.”

Once she hit twenty, Fiona looked at Alexa crying on the floor and added, “So stay out of trouble now.”

“Isthan hated the idea of being with Fiona more than ever.

Alexa demanded, “We did what you asked. Can we have the negatives and that engagement taken?”

Fiona stood tall, all confident, “Saying sorry is the least you owe for messing around. You think you can make deals with me?” She shook her head at Alexa. “Why go after someone else’s boyfriend? Be glad I’m nice; someone else would’ve made you sorry in public.”

Alexa just cried more, despising Fiona with every tear.

Nathan exploded, “Fiona Harrell, you’re too much! |

never marry you!”

“And since when do you make the rules in the Quinn family?” Fiona laughed like she couldn’t care less, “We’re not getting hitched, not because you can’t handle me, but because I’m not down with secondhand. But hey, you broke my heart…
