Chapter 54 Fees, waived
Sherry didn’t have time to answer, he had already closed the door.
She had to stay there in silence, but wondered how the Swift Family’s door could be so insulated and soon she heard the sound of conversation coming from the living room.
It was none other than Alex who came.
The brothers’ long-awaited meeting was not a pleasant one.
Alex sounded kind but with a faint command, “The elders at home often ask about how you are doing, next month is the old lady’s birthday, go back and visit, it’s your duty.”
Aaron didn’t show his face, “Depends on the time.”
Alex raised his eyebrows and looked at the covered blanket on the sofa next to him, then laughed, “Originally, I shouldn’t interfere too much with your private life, but you are the president of Night Group after all, too much chaos in your private life will affect the company’s prospects, and it’s about time you found a match … ”
“No more company if that’s okay, I have to get to the office.” Aaron interrupted him in a cold voice.
There was a moment of stagnation in the atmosphere.
Sherry’s head was gently pressed against the door, listening.
Instead, he accidentally touched the cut on his face and a stinging sensation of pain caused Sherry to immediately let go and the door handle to stutter.
It was also clearly audible outside.
Alex laughed softly, “Having guests at home?”
Aaron’s eyes were full of ice, “None of your business.”
“Doesn’t look like it’s Sherry,” Alex raised an eyebrow contemptuously and got up before walking briskly in the direction of the guest room.
Pushing the door open without Aaron’s guard.
Only the guest room gauze was blowing in the wind and the window was thumping against the edge.
Other than that, there is no one.
Alex’s eyes narrowed and he walked straight to the window and pulled hard, but just when he thought he would catch some woman, the outside was also empty, although connected to the back garden with an open view …
No one indeed.
With a hard look in his eyes, Alex turned back around and smiled reluctantly, “The Swift Family house, it needs redecorating.”
Aaron’s face was cold as he gazed around the room and said in a cold voice, “Don’t bother big brother.”
Over the years, Night Group has continued to have shares in the Henry Family.
He had to hold back and make a show of it in front of Alex, or at least, save face.
He just couldn’t bring himself to grovel to the Henry Family.
“Remember what I told you, the Henry Family people are looking forward to seeing you, and a reunion after three years is really something to look forward to.”
Alex leaves with his secretary.
Aaron stood in place, his eyes growing deeper and colder, the hatred that pervaded him, flooding and raging.
“Come out.”
Then the wardrobe door thumped a few times and Sherry gently and quietly climbed out of it, her beautiful eyes fluttering nervously, “Sorry, I …”
But before she could say anything, the sky spun.
Raising her head again, she was already confined in the man’s arms.
“Alex, looked for you?”
He was not guessing, but reasonably speculating.
Alex had just looked so imperious that he was about to look him in the face.
If Sherry hadn’t been so clever, it would have reached the ears of the Henry Family elders, and although he didn’t care about that, he would have been more upset than anyone else to see Alex enjoying himself.
At least, Sherry is doing quite well for him.
But not enough to make up for it.
Sherry’s eyes flickered and she spoke in a whisper, “Yes, he came to the hospital and blocked me, told me to get in the car and said he wanted to talk to me.”
“You got into his car?”
Sherry’s throat lurched as her shoulders were squeezed tightly against his and she met his cold, repressed gaze.
She gritted her teeth fiercely and did not respond.
Everything is speechless.
Aaron’s eyes then fell on her red, swollen face.
Suddenly annoyed, he got up unhappily, “In future, stay away from him, you should know that I hate Henry Family people.”
Sherry nodded slightly, “I know.”
She had been with him for over three years, what didn’t she know?
That’s why she has held back, even to the point of tearing that love to shreds, because this is a man she can’t afford to love.
“Go and make dinner, I’m hungry.”
He ripped the buttons off his shirt and turned to go upstairs.
Sherry slowly climbed up from the side of the bed and dragged her tired body into the kitchen.
Late at night.
Sherry sat alone in the window by the guest room, looking distantly at the moon in the sky, with only one thing on her mind, the negotiation with Aaron tomorrow.
She needs money.
If Aaron really hated Alex that much, she wouldn’t mind being the sword in his hand.
As long as he could keep Aaron happy, that money, he had plenty of it.
That night, Sherry thought of many reasons how she would react if Aaron refused, how she would respond if he pressed her to agree to some demands.
As the early morning sunlight poured throughout the house, she saw Aaron strolling down the steps in his robe.
Her hand, which was holding the soup, still panicked and spilled the soup on her wrist, instantly scalding it with blisters.
The stinging sensation woke her up in that instant.
What is this undeserved stirring in the heart?
Was she crazy to think of this man in a way she shouldn’t now?
The emotions she was desperately trying to suppress and forget only served to peel open the wounds of the past every time she saw Aaron, and the pain made her feel even more pathetic and ridiculous.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Only Aaron didn’t notice and walked around her and took a seat at the table.
Breakfast is what he likes to eat.
Sherry has to take advantage of his good mood to open up about less than pleasant topics.
She sat down politely and carefully surveyed his face.
“Something to say?” Aaron lifted his eyes to look at her, his eyes extremely cold.
“Yes.” Sherry coughed obsequiously, “Mr. Swift can …”
“Can’t.” He didn’t even listen to the end of it, a straightforward refusal, Sherry’s white face reflected in his cold eyes.
Her hand was clasped tightly around the spoon for a long time before she squeezed out, “You didn’t even listen to what I had to say.”
Heh.
A soft laugh from across the room.
The hatred in Aaron’s eyes gradually emerged, “If I have to make it clear, then fine, because your mother is also Jason’s mother, that reason, that’s enough, I’ve been merciful by not transferring her to another hospital, because no hospital can take a patient who is long in arrears with her medical bills.”
Sherry had nothing to say.
She took a deep, long slow breath, “But you never got my mother out of the hospital, Aaron, don’t try to threaten me in that way.”
“I will pay the outstanding medical bills, but for me to beg you, no way.”
There was a hint of bravado in her voice, and somehow something hit the man’s heart, for a long, long time, and there was even some subtle heartache.
Snapping.
The knife and fork in Aaron’s hand were slammed on the table and he got up straight away.
The sound of the door being slammed shut was particularly harsh.
Sherry remained in place for a while, sighing slowly, trying to think of another way.
In the courtyard, Aaron pulls open the car door, full of chills, and with a kick on the accelerator, the car speeds out.
His eyes went cold and cold again.
Long, slender fingertips press the call button on the Bluetooth headset.
“Eral, all of Sherry’s mother’s treatment, all of it is waived.”
