Female Novel
Chapter 113
Susan and Roxanne stared at each other. They did not know how to react.
“Why are you in such a bad mood now? What happened? What did Jean say?”
Alfonso’s face was bright red. He began to tell the story of his humiliation at the Beauvort residence.
“W—What did you just say? You did not get the promised amount of money nor the contracts?”
Susan and Roxanne turned pale after realizing what had happened.
How could this be?
They were fervently trying to establish some kind of connection with the Beauvort family through this shammarriage. They were dreaming of a life full of glory and riches by attaining huge fortunes and contracts!
However, they lost everything instead!
Immediately, Susan was consumed by intense anger.
“No way! We can’t just let this matter rest! They have promised us 300 million dollars in dowry and one billiondollars’ worth of contracts! How dare they try to make us go away by giving us a measly fifty million dollars? Dothey see us as beggars? We can’t just let this thing slide!”
She was aiming to squeeze her way into the upper echelon of society where the wealthy ladies mingled. Shewanted to live her best life!
Alfonso also felt like he would not be able to let this slide without doing anything.
He felt unfair that such a huge perk would just disappear into thin air.
After some serious contemplation, a dark look appeared on his face. It seemed that he had come to a decision.
“When we go back to the beginning, Mr. Frederic was the one who promised to offer us the money and thecontracts. However, Jean was somehow the one who broke the bad news to me just now. I won’t acknowledgethis outcome! I need to see Mr. Frederic! I know that that old geezer is too prideful to go back on his words! Afterall, if news gets out that the Beauvort are actually a bunch of liars, they would turn into laughing stock in the eyesof everyone!”
Susan nodded fervently. She agreed to this proposition.
Then, Alfonso rushed to his study room and searched for an old notepad. He looked up Frederic’s number andgave him a call.
It was Frederic’s official work number. The one who picked up the call was his assistant, Winova James.
He listened to Alfonso’s grumblings before answering with the utmost professionalism, “I understood thesituation. I will verify your claims soon. Mr. Frederic has dealt with the contracts and the dowry already, so oncewe have any new developments, I will give you a call.”
When Alfonso learned that, his anger only amplified.
It turned out that Mr. Frederic had prepared the contracts and dowry some time ago. It was Jean who selfishlyprevented him from getting what he was supposed to gain out of this! novelbin
Of course, he was not foolish enough to badmouth Jean right now to Winova. He was able to maintain hismannerisms while on the phone, “Winova, then I will leave this to you. We will be hearing from you soon.”
After hanging up, Winova quickly went to verify Alfonso’s claims and he found that it was Jean who had stoppedthe deal from completing. He reported this to Frederic.
When Frederic knew this, he could not help but frown. He summoned Jean to his office.
“What’s the matter?”
Jean plopped onto a sofa lazily.
Frederic immediately felt anger rising within him upon seeing that Jean was so unserious about everything.
However, Frederic also thought about the fact that Jean had gone through with this marriage. This fact alone wasbarely able to stop Frederic from launching a fit of rage at Jean.
“I heard that you did not give the Garcias what I’ve promised to give them. You even gave them a measly fiftymillion dollars and expected them to leave without making any noise. What were you thinking?”
Jean’s face darkened, “What? Did he complain to you?”
“That’s right. Tell me, what happened? You better explain yourself now!”
Frederic’s tone was grave.
Jean answered honestly, “It was the Garcias who lied to us in the first place. The girl that we got is not Roxanne
as promised, it is their other daughter, Neera.”
Frederic exploded upon hearing that, “What? I can’t believe how brash those people from the Garcia family were!Does that mean that the tarot reading that we got from Cooper was a fake as well? So that was not Roxanne’sreading?”
Frederic could care less about whether it was Roxanne or Neera who would become his daughter-in-law. Thetarot reading held the utmost importance.
That was because the outcome was closely related to his son’s life!
