A Crazy One-night Stand

In the car.

Wilson's eyes locked onto Alina and their eyes met. "Tell me, what are you thinking?"

Alina gave a small smile and turned serious. "I think that your family is right. I don't deserve you!"

"So?" Wilson felt a little frantic.

Alina continued, "Before this, I didn't really mean it when I said you need to responsible for me. I never thought that your family situation would be so complicated."

"Complicated?" Wilson raised his eyebrows.

Alina nodded. "Yes, it's very complicated. There are many people in the Scott Family struggling for power and competing for equity. If I marry you, I will become a burden to you and threaten your status in the Scott Family. I don't want to be blamed by your family. Besides, I do not want you to be troubled as well. So, I don't think we should get married."

Alina paused and looked up at Wilson. Seeing his emotionless face, she pursed her lips and continued, "You don't need to feel sorry for me. I know that you are a responsible man. To be fair, I don't think that what happened that day was your intention because you seemed unwell. Moreover, it has already been so long. We are all adults. There is no need to take it to heart."

"Have you made up your mind?" Wilson said coldly.

"Yes." Alina smiled brightly. Fortunately, it was not difficult to communicate with Wilson. She felt better after telling him what was bothering her. In this way, both of them could return to their own lives, as if nothing had happened.

"Are you going home or to the hospital? Do you need to go anywhere else?" Wilson suddenly changed the topic.

Alina frowned and glanced out of the window. It's better if she didn't go home at this time in case she got scolded by her mother. "I'm going to the hospital!"

Wilson started the car engine and drove out of the Scott Family's villa.

After fifteen minutes of driving, Wilson suddenly braked and pulled up on the side of the road.

Alina leaned forward and almost fell out of her seat due to the momentum of the car. Fortunately, she was saved by the seat belt.

Wilson turned his head to Alina and frowned. He said in an exasperated tone, "Did my mother tell you regarding the Scott Group's shares allocation?" "Yes, they did tell me a little." Alina nodded

Wilson continued, "They told you that my family had a smaller percentage of the shares, so I needed to marry a woman with strong family backing to strengthen my status?" "Yes!" Alina agreed with a smile. She said jokingly, "To be honest, I never knew that even amongst the rich and powerful, there were so many things out of your control!" Wilson snorted coldly. "Do you know how long Caitlin and Selma have been trying to be part of the Scott Family?"

"How would I know that?"

"You don't know anything, but you're so sure that you will drag me down? Don't you have any confidence in yourself?" Wilson's tone was frigid, "You think that you are worthless just because of your poor family background?

"Did you know that Caitlin and Selma would shower Grandfather with gifts every time they came to visit? Did you know how Caitlin and Selma kept pestering the butler and servants about Grandfather's preferences? They have tried all sorts of ways to please Grandfather and to win his favour. However, with his experience, Grandfather had long since seen through their schemes. He never acknowledged them as part of the family.

"Since both of them couldn't obtain any shares from Grandfather, then what's the point of being of noble birth? There is no difference between you and them!

"Do I, Wilson Scott, need to rely on women to consolidate my status? Even if I don't have any shares, I can still hold the position of president in Scott Group. What's more, in my eyes, you are different from them!" Wilson finished in annoyance.

"Scumbag, it's not because I'm not confident, but because there's no need to look for trouble! I, Alina Miller, am a nobody. I wish to live a simple and peaceful life, I don't need eighty dishes for a meal. On the other hand, Wilson, you are the president of Scott Group! You could easily get married to a woman of noble birth, for instance, Monica would be a good choice. I can see she is very interested in you. Since you can find a suitable candidate to strengthen your status, you could kill two birds with one stone!"

Wilson glared at Alina. "What, are you trying to manage my life?"
