A Crazy One-night Stand

Alina listened attentively to Silvia's words. She didn't mind her sarcasm and humiliation. Silvia's words meant nothing to her as she was just a stranger. The reason Alina listened so carefully was to determine whether would it bring Wilson trouble in the future if they really get married.

Silvia became more agitated when she saw the calm expression on Alina's face. "Previously, Caitlin and Selma did not receive Grandfather's approval. He just told my cousins to consider it carefully and he will not interfere with their marriage. However, with your background in perspective, Grandfather would change his mind about them. At the very least, their family backgrounds are unquestionable!

"Once they are officially approved by Grandfather, shares would be allocated to them. After they get married and give birth to great-grandchildren, more shares of the company would be given to their family. If things were to go on like this, soon Wilson will be replaced as president of Scott Group.

"I know that it couldn't have been easy for you to cling onto my brother. For so many years, my brother has never been seen with another woman, other than Rosalie. Thus, I have reason to believe that you are a shrewd and smart woman.

"Since you are an intelligent woman, you should understand that if one day my brother is no longer the president of Scott Group, your dreams would be shattered as well! How about this, I'll offer you five million dollars to leave my brother!"

Hearing Silvia's offer of five million dollars, Alina threw her head back and laughed heartily. This must be a joke, five million dollars again? Was she such an amazing person that wherever she went, people were trying to buy her over with five million dollars?

"What are you laughing at? Does this mean that you are not going to leave my brother?" Silvia became irritated by Alina's reaction and looked at her with contempt. "Well, I should have known women like you would not be any good. Thinking that if you managed to hook up with my brother, you could live a life of luxury and enjoyment. Women like you are crazy about money when you have nothing to offer on the other hand. Alright then, I'll double the offer. Two cheques of five million dollars!"

After saying that, Silvia turned to Sophie. "Mom, where are the cheques? Take them out. Didn't I tell you that women who hover around Wilson are calculating and cunning? They are not easily satisfied. Although they are as poor as a church mouse, they will try their best to squeeze out every last penny they could get. Ten million dollars is enough to buy a dozen pieces of custom-tailored clothing from the famous French designer, Morga!

"Give the cheques to her and tell her to get out of here immediately. I'm really tired of this. Wilson is not getting any younger, but his taste in women is deteriorating. Mom, you have to talk to him about this. Don't bring stray animals back home, Scott Family is not an animal shelter, seriously."

Sophie withdrew two cheques from her bag. As expected, the cheques were worth five million dollars each.

Alina took a glance at the cheques. She just felt that her life could not be more dramatic.

Sophie shoved the cheques in front of Alina and said with disgust, "Take these cheques and leave Scott Family, leave Wilson alone!"

Alina was about to say that she would consider leaving Wilson when she heard footsteps behind her. Before she could turn around, Wilson strode in and pulled her out of the room. His face was grim. Behind them, Sophie cried out hurriedly, "Wilson, Wilson!"

Silvia shouted loudly, "Brother, where are you going? I need to talk to you!"

Wilson turned a deaf ear to them. He dragged Alina down the long corridor and went downstairs.

"Hey, slow down. What are you doing?" Alina was still in her high heels. She felt like she was going mad.

Only then did Wilson stop in his tracks and let go of Alina. His expression softened as he looked at her. "Did they insult you?"

"No!" Alina laughed dryly.

In fact, it was not that insulting at all. It was not the first time for her to hear such words. Three years ago, when Ken's mother gave her the cheque, what she said was much worse than what she heard now. "Did they force you to leave me with a cheque?" Wilson probed further.

"Yes." Alina nodded as she scratched the back of her head. "Well, rich people tend to handle things similarly. They all like to solve problems with money!"

"So, what do you think?" Wilson's eyes were focused on Alina.

"I feel like we need to have a good talk." Alina calmly replied.

"Okay, let's go and talk in the car!" Wilson strode out and Alina followed him.0000
