chapter 56: I will never abandon your daddy
Roberto was holding the mahogany cane that carved a dragon’s head in his hand, his face was serious and angry, -Adan, this is not 37 euros, this is 37 million euros. You are very willing to sacrifice yourself for this woman!
Olivia pretended to try to calm the old man down, “Don’t get mad, Dad. Estrella didn’t mean to make a mistake in the contract on purpose.
The old man became even angrier when he heard her words, his anger did not diminish, on the contrary, it increased. He raised with the cane in his hand and looked at Estrella fixedly, -To make a basic mistake like this, you were intentional!-.
Every word and every behavior of the old man showed that he was interrogating her. Perhaps now the old man believed that she was a spy for his rival.
Olivia’s words were spoken at the right time. Before the old man did not like her, now he will not accept her anymore.
Roberto grumbled coldly, turned and walked out of the living room, it seemed he didn’t want to see her anymore.
Olivia consoled her with bad intentions, “Star, daddy is very angry now, it’s just that you made a big mistake this time. You wait a few days, when daddy cries out and you apologize to him.
Estrella looked at her coldly and fixedly, “It was me who made the mistake, you know. I am not the one who caused the loss of 37 million euros.
She didn’t want to make a play on words with Olivia, even more she didn’t like being in the same room with Adam who was protecting Olivia. She went straight up to the second floor.
In the living room, only Adam and Olivia remained. Olivia asked in a soft voice on purpose to test, “Adam, is Star mad at me?
Adam was angry, he just said calmly, -It’s normal that she is angry with you-.
Olivia stood in suspense, watching Adam come up the stairs after Estrella. In his calm tone, she sensed a hint that he was angry with her.
Was he angry with her because of Estrella?
…
Adam pushed open the door and saw that the woman was angry and standing by the window.
He walked towards her, she said with a lot of anger, -I have submitted my resignation, I hope that manager Adam will allow me to resign. This time he makes me pay 37 million euros, maybe next time it will be 50 million euros, I can’t charge him.
Who knew whether Olivia was still setting her up or not, if the next time it was a larger amount than this time, she couldn’t pay either way.
Adam stared with black eyes that she spoke with anger, made him laugh, thin lips lifted, “Did I say I let you pay 37 million euros?
-You said it! You told me to pay 37 million… – You said!
Did she begin to suspect that Adam and Olivia set traps together?
-I also said, “You can pay in the form of labor.
The man looked with deep love into her face, and Estrella’s heartbeat almost stopped for a moment.
He intentionally helped Olivia so that old Robertola misunderstood. Damn, but now she felt excited by this phrase!
-Who will pay you in the form of labor? I didn’t do it, why do I have to admit it, I really don’t have to pay the 37 million! Adam, if you really like Olivia, you want to protect her, you have to tell the old man. I’m only here to play the role with you, otherwise she will treat me as an enemy forever…-.
She said excitedly. He didn’t wait for her to finish her words, Adam’s long arms hugged her to his chest, the man frowned a little, he looked at her deeply, -Do you think he was protecting Olivia?Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Didn’t you let him explain, just so the old man wouldn’t blame Olivia?
Since the last moment he was still protecting Olivia, why was he hugging her now? Star resisted thinking, -let go of me. Adam, we’re just pretending to be a couple, don’t hug me, and don’t kiss me anymore!
Adam was such an arrogant and tyrannical man. The man’s arms still hugged his waist tightly, he said quietly, -If you had explained, the old man would hate you more.
Estrella smiled wryly and said, “Adam, do you need to tell lies to protect Olivia?
Adam did not like this angry behavior from Estrella. His eyebrows furrowed even more, but he continued patiently, “Olivia is my brother’s wife. She has been my dad’s daughter-in-law longer than you. Besides, my brother died, she and Dante don’t have a husband and father. My dad treats her even better. If you had said this was Olivia’s trap, even though my dad would know it in his heart, he wouldn’t love you, he would think you would cause trouble.
Estrella was confused. It seemed he wasn’t lying. So Adam did it to protect her?
But, she was surprised that Adam said so many words to explain. Compared to his reasonable explanations, what she said and did was unreasonable. Her face flushed with embarrassment. She omitted it and said, -She is your father’s daughter-in-law. I am not the real daughter-in-law anyway. I can accept that your father blames me if you don’t let me pay the 37 million.
Adam saw her head tilted down a little, didn’t know what to smile or get angry. So she blamed him for helping Olivia, blamed him for not letting her explain, just because she was afraid of the debt?
-You don’t need to pay the 37 million. Although this was not your direct cause, I lost so much money at one time because of you. I don’t feel good now.
Estrella froze.
For anyone felt bad to lose so much money at once. Although Adam had plenty of money until he could burn them as he wanted, but no businessman refused to earn more money.
-So… How can you feel good?
She raised her head, saw his dark eyes. He looked into her moist eyes, almost to his mind. His gaze was so burning and focused, -For example now I don’t feel good my heart, and neither does my body.
His gaze was too hot. She almost understood something, and her feet stepped back subconsciously. At the moment her heart beat rapidly, a childish voice sounded outside the door.
-Dad! Star! Are you back?
She was surprised, saw the man’s smiling eyes, – Paulita.-.
She finished saying, the door of the room was pushed by the girl, Paulita saw Estrella, she ran with two short legs towards her, she hugged Estrella, -Starla! I thought you abandoned daddy and me!
Estrella stayed here, -No.-.
He subconsciously looked at the man leaning against the wall, and his heart beat faster.
The girl raised her pretty face and confirmed again, -Really? Star, you won’t leave me, and you won’t leave daddy?
Estrella could not refuse Paulita, so she nodded her head, “Yes, I will not abandon you.
-You promise me that you won’t abandon daddy!
Estrella was shy. Adam was at her side, how could he tell, but he saw that Paulita was going to cry, she couldn’t insist any longer, she murmured, -I…. I won’t abandon your daddy either.
The man leaning against the wall with his legs crossed had a smile on his face.
