Chapter 205: Go Bankrupt
Maria looked into Aren’s cold eyes and everything she was prepared to say got stuck in her throat.
Why?
Why was it completely different from what she expected? Maria screamed at the top of her lungs in her mind.
Seeing that Maria still did not move, Aren became extremely impatient. The strong perfume in the air made him want to vomit.
He turned on the ventilation system in the office and shouted at the door, “Luke, come in!”
Luke shuddered with fright uncontrollably. After making sure that no one was around, he adjusted his suit and walked in.
As soon as Luke entered the office, his confusion was dispelled.
Oh my god!
How did the person in Aren’s office become Maria? Where was Miss Jocelyn?
Luke broke out in cold sweat. Having made such a big mistake, Luke was wondering if he’d end up like Miles.
Just when Luke was ready to beg for mercy, Aren said coldly again. “Throw this woman out. Go and receive your punishment after work. You know I don’t like unrelated people to show up in my office.”
Seeing that Luke was about to walk up to her, Maria took the little time she had to explain her purpose of coming.
“Master Aren, I came to ask you something. Something happened to my father’s business. We need some money. Please help us.”
While Maria was being dragged out by Luke, she used all her might to step on Luke with her sharp and pointy high heels.
The excruciating pain made Luke let go of her slightly. This gave Maria a chance to break free from Luke and run straight to Aren.
The fragrance exuding from Maria made Aren frown uncomfortably and sneeze at the same time.
Aren took a step back to put a distance away from her, but Maria acted as if she did not notice anything. She took two steps forward and pounced at Aren, grabbing his sleeve.
The two men in the room did not know how she could walk so quickly in those slender high heels.
“Let go!” Aren was pushed to the limits of his patience.
“No, Master Aren, I can’t let go of you.” Maria shook her head, and tears welled up in her eyes.
“The Wilson family really needs your help. I believe you don’t want our family to go bankrupt, do you?”
“After all, you’re still engaged to my sister. If the Wilson family goes bankrupt, you’ll be embarrassed too, right?”
“Please, please help us. I will repay your kindness.”
When Maria mentioned repaying his kindness, she blushed.
This kind of acting skill was comparable to that of the best actress.
With such talent in acting, why will she still worry about money? Wondered Luke.
Luke thought as he went up to grab Maria. He used a lot of strength, and almost instantly, Maria screamed out in pain.
Luke didn’t intend to be a gentleman after getting stepped on like that by Maria,
Looking at Maria’s twisted expression because of the pain, Aren said coldly with some disgust, “I don’t want to hear Jocelyn from your mouth. After all, you never treated her as a member of the Wilson family, did you?”
“But you reminded me. I don’t think I’ve ever given Jocelyn a gift. Why don’t I speed up the
Wilson family’s bankruptcy?”
“I assume Jocelyn will be happy to hear this?” Aren shifted his gaze to Luke.
Glancing at the shocked look on Maria’s face, Luke nodded, “Yes, sir.”
“No, you can’t do that!” Maria cried out loud. Unlike the fake cry earlier, this time, she didn’t care about how ugly she looked when she cried. All she could think of was how to get Aren to take back this terrible idea..
