Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes Chapter 40: How Could He Treat Her Like This
Editor: Henyee Translations
Godfery Shaw was speaking just before the auction concluded.
The entire venue was so quiet that most people heard his question.
More people began to envy the Young Mrs. Wright.
Even sitting in a wheelchair, this Young Master Shaw exuded an extraordinary presence.
The important thing was that it seed as long as Alia Wright expressed she wanted it, Young Master Shaw could bid two billion for the pink diamond for her.
Everyone was looking at Alia Wright, waiting for her answer.
The most nervous person at this mont was actually Oliver Wright.
Everything today had gone smoothly; he successfully borrowed the Shaw family’s influence and won the bid for the pink diamond. He believed that with the remaining money, families like Riverwood would no longer refuse to cooperate with him.
But if Alia wanted the pink diamond and the Shaw family won the bid, where could he quickly find another suitable gem?
Under Oliver Wright’s anxious gaze.
Alia Wright was just thinking that Godfery Shaw easily saw through her emotional facade.
After a mont, she said: "I don’t like it."
Alia suddenly rembered that yesterday, Godfery Shaw thought she wanted him to accompany her to the auction.
She had answered that she wanted him to go but didn’t want to interrupt Young Master Shaw’s important business.
But publicly, she claid to be married to Young Master Shaw, so she couldn’t appear with Young Master Shaw.
So was Godfery Shaw pretending to be Young Master Shaw just to accompany her to the auction?
That seed so considerate of him.
Alia looked at Godfery Shaw beside her, feeling very complicated.
Oliver Wright let out a long sigh of relief upon hearing Alia’s dislike.
Many in the venue felt a bit regretful; if the Young Mrs. Shaw had said she liked it, they might have witnessed a scene of spending a fortune for a beauty today.
The auction concluded.
Alia Wright didn’t like such lively occasions. She stood up, ready to leave.
As she got up, Elijah Jefferson nearby, and Marsh Smith behind her, stood up almost simultaneously.
Marsh Smith looked grim and didn’t dare approach.
Elijah Jefferson, however, strode over to Alia Wright.
Elijah seed in a good mood today. When he reached Alia, he smiled and said, "From now on, the old district is truly ours."
Alia Wright had been preoccupied with the thought that Julius Shaw was actually Godfery Shaw in disguise and hadn’t paid attention to the auction halfway through.
Hearing Elijah say this, she recalled that in her past life, Elijah had auctioned the land in the old district and genuinely transford it within two years, saving those trapped in fate’s cruel hands.
In her past life, Alia often went to No. 32 in the old district, witnessing its gradual improvent.
She admired Elijah, as a mber of the Jefferson family in the Capital City, who could have been living comfortably but chose to take on this ss to repay a debt of gratitude to an elder for helping him in the past.
Elijah was soone who always repaid kindness and grudges. Alia had only assisted him a bit and had received his protection in return.
At this mont, Alia sincerely said: "Congratulations."
"It’s congratulations to both of us. You can co by and see the progress when you have ti; No. 32 is always reserved for you."
The two chatted happily.
Godfery Shaw, in a wheelchair, had a sharp look in his eyes, suddenly reaching out to pull Alia over.
Alia accidentally fell onto Godfery’s lap, and the next mont, she was wrapped in his embrace.
Godfery was so tall; the petite Alia was completely enveloped in his embrace.
He leaned close to Alia’s ear and dominantly declared: "Don’t smile at other n."
Elijah watched the scene, curiously glanced at this Young Master Shaw, and waved at Alia: "Little one, I won’t play the third wheel; I’m leaving first."
Alia had no energy to notice whether Elijah left, she stared wide-eyed, her whole body frozen.
If Godfery Shaw ca this ti just to accompany her to the event, then what was he doing now?
Godfery had indeed been very good to her, helping and assisting her, but he had always kept a distant and indifferent distance.
That’s how it had been for five years in her past life; it shouldn’t be this way.
Feeling the warmth of the hand on her waist, Alia was so shocked that she felt disoriented.
The darkness in Godfery’s eyes intensified. She smiled so joyously when speaking to the Jeffersons, but when he spoke, she didn’t listen attentively.
Godfery suddenly envied Julius Shaw, envied his uncontrolled personality.
Envied him for being able to act recklessly, even to the point of kissing her!
Thinking of this, Godfery bit Alia’s ear as a punishnt.
Well, he was now Julius Shaw, might as well indulge once, just once...
Alia was completely dumbfounded, instantly blushing bright red.
Was Godfery Shaw crazy?
Was he so absorbed in pretending to be Julius Shaw that he lost himself?
How could he treat her like this?
Trapped on Godfery’s lap, Alia slowly turned to look at him, eyes wide like a deer caught by a tiger: "Julius, I’m your sister-in-law, please... be more respectful."
Perhaps it was Alia’s doe-eyed look that pleased Godfery, or perhaps the ntion of "sister-in-law" satisfied him, Godfery finally released her.
Alia deceived herself into thinking that as long as she didn’t expose him, the person in front of her was Julius Shaw.
She hurriedly got up from Godfery’s lap.
At this ti, those who hadn’t left the venue were all secretly watching this scene.
Ava Wright was watching surreptitiously, like a peeping tom.
She saw the man in the wheelchair holding Alia unscrupulously, eyes filled with tender affection.
Why should Alia live so well, that seductress!
Hailey Smith moved to the front, blocking most of the view, and Ava’s view as well.
Ava instantly rembered that this was the sa bodyguard who had blocked her last ti, forcing her to make an appointnt to see Alia.
Ava’s eyes towards Hailey were filled with resentnt.
On Alia’s side.
Robert Reed ca over with a painting, finally breaking the entangled atmosphere between Alia and Godfery.
Robert snorted at Godfery and handed the painting to Alia, saying, "Little apprentice, you like this painting, so I’m giving it to you."
Alia snapped back to reality, shook her head, and refused: "Teacher, such a valuable thing, I can’t accept it."
Robert shoved the painting into Alia’s hands, "Take it if I give it to you, there’s nothing valuable about it. I’m not dead, if you like it, I’ll paint another one. Consider it a gift for accepting a master."
Alia opened her mouth.
Wasn’t it supposed to be the student who gave a gift when accepting a master?
Robert didn’t care whether this made sense and continued, "You little girl, you said you’d co with your paintings to see in a couple of days. Look how many days it’s been, there’s no ti like the present, it just so happens we ran into each other today, the auction is over, co with to Ink Manor now."
Alia felt a bit ashad.
She had indeed promised her teacher before, but had been recuperating these past days and forgotten about it.
Now, she really wanted to avoid Godfery, so she imdiately agreed: "Okay, I’ll go with you now, teacher."
Godfery’s expression turned sour.
Alia couldn’t care about that, she just wanted to leave quickly.
She directly told Hailey: "You take Young Master Shaw ho."
Robert gave Godfery a glare, like a triumphant rooster, proudly leaving with Alia.
Hailey glanced at their eldest’s sullen face, not daring to speak.
The Young Madam just left the eldest like that...
The Young Madam is truly a brave one!
