Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

"This..." On the other end of the line, Aiden hesitated.

Euan felt his nerves slowly tightening in one direction. He wanted to know the answer and was afraid that knowing the answer would cause him pain and suffering once again. "What's wrong?"

Aiden said, "Well, I'm afraid that even she doesn't know. There's no way to find out because the man left no information."

"How can there be no way to find out? A living person would have left at least a trace."

"It's true that there's no way to find out. I've tried everything and can't find out. But Euan, the key issue now is not who the person is, is it? What you should be more concerned about is your wife, who really isn't an ordinary person. I was wondering how you married her, so it's because of that!"

Euan frowned. He didn't really know.

There was nothing about Riley that he had ever investigated. He knew as much as she said.

At first, he had hoped he could learn everything about her from her, and then, after all that had happened, Euan had never wanted to hear anything about her again.

"What else did you find out?"

Aiden poked the bridge of his nose, "Frankly, I'm getting a little self-doubtful after all this time spent investigating something so useless."

Euan turned to look at the end of the corridor, "Maybe, and maybe..."

Maybe she really was too good at disguising herself, and wiped her past clean so that there was no way for anyone to find out.

"Maybe what?"

"There's no maybe. It's that your IQ has deteriorated."

"Shit! Would it kill you to say something nice?"

"I'm not a fortune teller on the runway, and I won't say what you want to hear."

Damn!

"There's another discovery you might be interested in. Your wife used to have a crush on someone when she was in college, but then that person left for America, so your wife's crush fell through." What? He wasn't interested in that!

"I don't want to wait any longer."

Inexplicably, he said this.

Aiden froze, "What are you going to do?"

"Confess to her."

Aiden, "... Did I hear that right? Confess?! To Riley Watson?"

"From now on, don't even call her by her full name."

Aiden was speechless.

He had decided that he wasn't going to hide it anymore. No matter what she thought in her mind, he was going to tell her!

He loved her!

The following day, Riley woke up and walked to the window to stretch her body. She was surprised to find gardenias growing in the bushes. The white gardenias were in bright, pure bloom.

No, she was pretty sure there were no flowers here the other day. How could they have grown so big all of a sudden?

She poked her upper body out to smell the flowers. The fresh, faint scent was so nice.

At the breakfast table, the three looked at each other in silence.

Euan offered Riley a piece of broccoli from his plate.

She froze, and so did Lydia.

"Thanks."

"Give me milk."

The glass of milk was between the two of them. Couldn't he take it himself and had to ask her to serve him?

Fine.

Riley handed him the glass of milk and Euan took it but did not let go as his large hand rested on Riley's. The brief exchange of temperatures was ambiguous and a little abrupt. Lydia smiled affectionately, "Euan, this is your favorite dish. Have some more."

She offered him a piece of green cabbage and smiled with the corners of her eyes curled.

"Are you going to be working late today?"

He took a sip of milk and said as if he didn't care.

Riley thought he was out of sorts today, "I'm not supposed to be working late. Do you have something?"

He didn't say anything else. It was good that she wasn't working late.

Riley just went to work. And after checking the room, her phone rang.

"Riley, free up your lunch hour. I need to see you."

It was Anika!

Her head ached.

"Yes, Mom."

See her at noon... Riley has been anxious all morning. What could Anika be looking for her for? Scold her? Satirize her?

At twelve, Riley left work, changed her clothes, and went to the appointed place to meet Anika.

Inside the restaurant, Anika was dressed in a noble and elegant cheongsam, and from a distance, one could tell that her status was not ordinary. "Sit down."

She said it coldly and simply as if she had lost some kind of patience with her.

Riley nodded and pulled out the chair and sat down, "Mom, what did you want to see me about?"

Anika put her coffee cup down and opened her Hermes handbag, pulling a prepared bank card from it and pushing it across the table to her. "What's this?"

Anika sneered condescendingly as if

she were giving her a handout, "This is what you married into the George family for Of course, this may not be enough compared to your ambitions, but you'd better be smart and take the money and get out of the George family. I will not approve of you and Euan being together and you will never set foot in the George family!"

Instead of being overly shocked, she was reassured by her expected words.

This was a VIP gold card from a bank, and the minimum pre-deposit for such a card was fifty million, so there were tens of millions in there, to say the least. For a doctor, it was an astronomical amount. "Mom, are you trying to use this money to force me to divorce Euan?"

"You're very clever. Yes, I don't want

to wait any longer. I'll give you a week to get a divorce with Euan. I don't know why Euan refuses to get a divorce. But I want you to be clear, either me or you, Euan can only choose one! If you want him to lose his mother from now on, you can stay with him. Otherwise, news of him turning against his mother will

be waiting for him!"

Anika was ruthless in what she did and never beat about the bush. And she was so hard-hearted that she would achieve what she wanted to achieve.

One week...

She gave her an ultimatum!

Since she was forcing her to get a divorce, she had to at least give her a reason.

"Why do you want us to get a divorce?" Riley stared steadily at Anika. She rarely interfered in their relationship personally, but today she was speaking so harshly!

"The reason? It's simple. Euan doesn't really like you, and neither do I. Also, with your background, you simply can't be good enough for him. What makes the Watson family, who is on the verge of bankruptcy, qualify for a relationship with us?" She spoke with a vicious tongue!

"The chosen daughter-in-law of the

George family is Lydia, and they've known each other for years. Your presence has messed everything up. You're a mistress! Now you should quit and let the people who deserve to be happy be truly happy. Leave them alone!"

Her heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden!

So, she didn't deserve the George family at all.

So, it was she who had disturbed their happiness!

So, she should have withdrawn to make them happy.

Riley's eyes ached with pain. Holding back the tears that were about to come out, she smiled, "I won't give him a hard time. I'll get a divorce."

"Very well."

The noblewoman across the table was about to leave when Riley got up and handed her her bank card, "I'll get a divorce with him, but I'm not taking the money. You can have it."

Anika sneered, "Do you still expect to get the compensation my son gave you when you divorced?"

Riley's heart ached, "I'm not with him for the money. I love him."

"Save it! Take it if you know what's good for you. In this way, you and I are both relieved."

With the money, she had no way back and she didn't have to worry all the time.

So, Riley squeezed the card in her hand and didn't give it away again.

Riley walked out of the coffee shop without even wiping her tears away. When she saw that it was Euan's number, she almost fainted on the road from the heartache. "Hello."

"I'll see you tonight after work."

"What's up?"

"Do I have to have something to see you about?"

She was silent, "Okay."

Just now Anika had forced her to get a divorce and now Euan's call was coming. Was she unable to avoid it today?

Gathering herself, Riley didn't allow herself to show too much panic in front of him. She replied with just one word, "Where?"

"How about The Earl?" Euan remembered that Riley liked steak. The steak at The Earl was the freshest and tastiest. "No need. You can just come to my flat. You know the address."

Euan was surprised. She took the initiative to invite him to her home. Did she want to make up with him too?

At the President's office in the MBK International Corporation building.

Euan released his hand and the phone slid smoothly onto the table. It could almost catch a glimpse of the good mood its owner was in at the moment.

He wanted to save the relationship, so she offered an olive branch. His heart warmed, and Euan smiled inadvertently.

Elijah entered the president's office and saw his back as he stood facing the window, "You wanted to see me, boss?"

Euan tapped his knuckles on the corner of the desk, "Cancel all my trips for the evening. I need to go to a place."

Elijah leaned over and asked, "Do you have an evening event, boss?"

"Yeah."

Elijah was confused for three seconds. Boss actually had an event? He hadn't seen a schedule for it. Had he missed something important?

"Okay, boss. Do you need me to prepare anything?"

"You go to Kerry's studio and ask her to choose a gift suitable for women," Euan said in a soft voice.

Elijah froze. A gift? Which woman was Boss going to give a gift to? It couldn't be Lydia, could it? In all his time with Boss, he had never seen him choose a gift for Lydia. Usually, it was just her choosing what she wanted and getting it herself. When he thought about it, it seemed that Lydia didn't carry much weight in Boss's mind either, but rather she was actively and aggressively pestering him.

"Yes, boss. I'll go to Kerry's studio first, then come and get you." Elijah anticipated that the gift was probably for Dr. Watson.

Thinking of this, he felt a little excited.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
