Chapter 146 - BREAKING THE MARRIAGE BEFORE IT BEGINS
"What do you an with that?" Mr. Reid asked Stefan. "You better behave yourself and don't talk like that to my daughter."
"I'm not surprise." Stefan comnted in mockery. "Looks like the father knows what the daughter has been doing. Are you planning to make her divorce with her husband if I accept this marriage arrangent? You've got to be kidding ."
Mrs. Reid looked between her husband and daughter. She couldn't seem to comprehend the things that Stefan was talking about. "Deceived? ? By my daughter? That can't be possible." As she spoke, her voice was becoming softer until it was almost a whisper. But the more she looked at her precious daughter, she felt even more afraid to know the truth.
Hilary bit her lips as hard as she could until she could taste her own blood. She sharply looked at the man who was to beco her fiancée. If her sharp look can cut down the flesh, Stefan would be lying in a puddle of his own blood with his body parts in pieces.
"Looks like Mrs. Reid has no idea with what's going. The father and daughter tead up to deceive you all these years. Aw! So sad. But it's not new to ." He put down his spoon and fork, and wiped his mouth with the table napkin. After making sure that he looked clean, he looked towards his parents and grandfather. "You want to get married to a married woman? I have my eyes opened today. In this family, I'm nothing but a chess pawn to continue your legacy."
"No." Magnus retorted. "We don't know that she's married." He explained imdiately before Stefan can say anything. "Her registrar still stated she's single and there's no news about her being married."
"Right. There's no news about this. How did you know that she's married?" Clara questioned him.
"I have connections that you don't have." Stefan sly grinned at them. "Anyway, I don't care about this marriage. Thanks for the lunch." He drank the glass of water and stood up from his seat. Chris followed him and the two of them went up to get his valuable things inside his room.
His family was left astounded on their seats. The marriage that they had exerted so much effort to beco successful was broken by Stefan.
The Reid family left after apologizing and only god knows what would happen to the one and only daughter who brought them sha.
Stefan couldn't care less about them. All he wanted to do was to co back ho and stay with Cayenne for as long as he can. When he stepped out of his room and walked down the stairs, carrying two boxes of important things, he passed by the living room where his parents and grandfather was staying after lunch.
"What was that just now?" Magnus asked. He wanted to be angry at his son but after what happened, he didn't have the strength to do so and he also realized that he didn't have the right to be angry; they didn't have the right to be angry after all the treatnt he received from them. Fifteen years had passed but they never changed.
Stefan didn't just give them a side glance and he talked while slowly walking away from them. "I clearly stated that I don't want my life to be manipulated. Don't lay a finger on Cayenne or her family either because I can assure you that I'll destroy your company without any second thought. I'm leaving. Don't show in front of again in the future. I am used being ignored in the past and I don't have ti to play chummy-chummy ga with you as if we're a real family." He suddenly stopped at the door and looked back to the three people in the living room. "And by the way, I found out that my mother didn't die from giving birth. Apparently, soone killed her. Don't disturb in the future. I will be very busy to find out what happened."
He deliberately left those words to see Clara's reaction and just like what he expected, she looked a bit panic and worried. His doubts increased and he beca even more determined to find out the truth.
"Start with the investigation about my mother. I'll deal with the car accident few days ago." Stefan ordered.
"Yes, sir." Chris replied resolutely and followed him out of the house. After getting all the things that he wanted to bring away from the house, Chris drove the car back to the city. He was already allowed by the doctor to resu her daily activities which included driving and the police officers allowed him as well since it was proven that the accident didn't happen because of his recklessness. Officer Lucian Seville also allowed him to engage combat if necessary, given that no civilians will be involved. If there is, he will be condemned for his cri and will be punished according to the law. "By the way, I can ask Valkyrie to check on the accident as well. You won't need to co to their place."
"I just wanted to bring Ayen to see Jill. She likes that woman a lot and she missed eting her last ti because she was afraid that so people will spot us."
"Oh." Chris mumbled with a smile on his lips. "You spoil her so much."
"What can I do? She's the only woman I wanted to spoil for the rest of my life. If possible, I wanted to treat her like a queen but she didn't want to. She wants to work and earn her own money."
"You can't bla her with that. She's used to be the one who will provide for her family. If you will take that away from her, she might lose her sight in life. You can still spoil her in other ways." Then his line of sight on the rearview mirror shifted to Stefan's collar. He wasn't wearing the scar anymore so he could see what was on the collar. "You're very bold to attend the lunch with that lipstick stain. It truly surprised to know that she agreed to leave that mark on your collar."
"Huh? She didn't agree to it. I stole it." He shalessly admitted to his secretary.
