My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 318: Get Married



In Jaylen and Nellie's eyes, they were not at fault for their son ending up that way.
They had given Brian many chances and they had tried their best to help him.However, he kept letting them down over and over
again.
They would forgive him for not doing his work well.
But they could not accept the fact that he could not even get one woman to like him.
What else could they expect from him? They had promised to handover the company to him, but he didn't seem to be working
hard for it.
If he continued to be that way, then they would have no choice but to give up on him.Jaylen and Nellie had worked hard their
entire lives for the sake of the company.
They couldn't let Brian destroy it.
After all, he was not their only son.
"Nellie, talk to Bruce.We've let him pursue his acting career for long enough.It is time he quits the showbiz and handles the family
business.We've given him the best live ever since he was a kid, and now, we need his help.He is also obliged to contribute for
this family, right?"
At the very mention of Bruce's name, Nellie’s head started aching.
With a bitter smile, she said, "You think it did not occur to me? He never even gave me a chance to talk to him.I really don't
understand what's so good about being an actor.He doesn't even answer my phone calls anymore.If I hadn't lied to him and told
him that you fainted, he wouldn't even have come home! What makes you think that I can persuade him to go on blind dates?"
"We've let him do his thing for years now.It is time he listens to us!" Nellie nodded.
She also felt the same way.She had lost her faith in Brian, so Bruce was her only hope now.
"I'll ask Mia to meet me tomorrow.I think she's into Bruce, I'll ask her if they've progressed their relationship."
"Alright!" Jaylen answered.

All of a sudden, their landline rang loudly.
Nellie answered it, "Hello?"
Jaylen could not hear the other person on the phone, but he noticed Nellie’s expression darken suddenly.
He looked at her, feeling anxious.
Nellie looked like she was about to explode with rage as she clenched her dress.
"Well, I understand.I'm sorry, I will talk to Brian."
With that, she hung up.
Jaylen asked, "What happened?"
"You should ask your son!"
Nellie was so furious that she shouted, "Leah, ask Brian to come here!"
Five minutes later, Brian walked into the living room in his pajamas.
"Mom..."
"Don't you dare call me your mom!" Nellie stood up.
"Brian, I'll ask you one more time.Is it true that Miss Cook doesn't like you?"
Upon hearing that, Brian was stunned.He gritted his teeth.
‘Damn it! That Grace! She's the one at fault and she complained about me?’ He tried to explain, "Mom, listen to me..."
"What excuse are you going to give me this time?" Nellie pointed her finger at him.
"Brian! You let your parents down.Don't you know how difficult it was for me to arrange these blind dates for you? With your
reputation, there are not many girls who are willing to even talk to you! Is this how you appreciate my efforts?"
"Mom, you don't know.Grace—"
Nellie interrupted him, "That's enough! I know what you're going to say.You want to say that she is fat and ugly, right?"

Brian kept silent.
"You're going to say that she doesn't deserve you? Brian! Look at the situation you're in right now! We are not all that wealthy
anymore.Don't you know that because of the accident, the market value of our company has gone down by more than a billion?
To put it bluntly, we are in huge trouble now.If we don't find a way to save the company, we'll be doomed.Do you understand
me?" Brian gritted his teeth.
"Yes! I have seen Grace, and I can tell that she is ugly and fat.She has been spoiled since she was a child and doesn't have a
good character.But that is not some reason for you to refuse her now!"
"Mom..."
"I'm not asking you to get married right away.Just date her.So that we can show all the businessmen in Ywood that we might
soon join forces with the Cook family.If they see that, then maybe they will continue to cooperate with us.Do you understand?"
Brian thought for a while before saying, "Sorry, Mom.I know I wasn't right."
"Brian, the whole country knows the kind of shit we are under now.But the Cook family is still willing to give you their
daughter.We can't refuse an offer like that.Do you understand me?"
"Mom, but what if they really ask for a marriage?"
"Then you will marry her!" Nellie said decisively.
Her voice was stern and firm.
Brian did not say anything.
He couldn't help but feel sick thinking of Grace's fat body and the fetid smell that came from her which could not be masked even
with expensive makeup.
He couldn't imagine living with her if he married her.
And the very thought was enough to make him feel like he was struggling.
"Mom, you don't know how awful that woman is! On the date, she flirted with different men on the phone right in front of—"
Nellie interrupted him again, "So what?"

Brian looked at her, his eyes wide open with shock.He doubted if he was hearing her wrong.
‘So what? So what? lam aman! No man could accept a wife like her! "Mom..."
"Brian, you still don't understand what's important now..."
Nellie's heart was filled with disappointment as she looked at him.
Brian turned to Jaylen subconsciously.
Since they were both men, he thought that his father would understand.He must be able to relate to him.
However, he was only met with a disappointed look.
Sitting on the sofa, Jaylen was also not pleased with him.
"Dad!"
"Brian, the most important thing for us right now is to save the company.As long as the company survives, nothing else will
matter.Nothing is more important."
"But Grace said—"
"What she says doesn't matter!"
Jaylen extended his arm and Brian rushed over to help him.
Jaylen stood up, patted his hand, and sighed.
"Brian, I know that you don't like this at all, but this is our last hope, if we miss this chance and let our company fall, imagine the
kind of life we will be living."
Upon hearing that, Brian bit his lower lip.
"Dad, what do you think I should do?"he asked.
"Get engaged."
Hearing his father's words, Brian felt disgusted.

"Well, you can also marry her without getting engaged."
Brian could not help but take a deep breath.
‘Get married? To Grace?’
"Dad..."
"Brian, I'm telling you that our current problems won't last long.As long as the company receives enough funds, it will survive.And
after a few years, who will even remember the accident? People will forget as long as we get through this.This is the way life
works.Money is above everything else.Why do you think that woman, Grace, dared to humiliate you like that? It is obviously
because she knows that our family is down now!"
Brian was lost in thought.
Jaylen continued, "Once we pull through this phase, and the company is back on its feet again, you won't have to rely on the
Cook family anymore.And when that time comes, yp can divorce her."
Upon hearing that, Brian was stunned.
