CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT
CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT "Mr. Parker , let's just go," Alyana couldn't help but tug on Austin’s sleeve tightly. Austin Parker looked at Manager Harf and shook his head slightly, feeling a deep sense of helplessness. Actually, Austin Parker had been thinking about buying a house for a while, and since he was invited, he thought it would be okay to check out the properties. However, the attitude of the sales office manager was simply unacceptable, so after a moment of hesitation, Austin turned to leave. “Manager Harf, what's going on here?" At that moment, a middle-aged man's voice echoed from inside the sales office. Everyone turned their heads towards the second floor, where a middle-aged man in a black suit was descending the stairs. "General Manager Adam, you're here?" Manager Harf’s face changed instantly upon seeing the middle-aged man, and she greeted him with a fawning smile. "I just heard you shouting about kicking a customer out. What's going on?" he asked, frowning. "G
CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN
CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN Alyana’s face showed a hint of embarrassment as she glanced at Austin. To be honest, his appearance didn’t suggest someone who could afford to buy such property. She knew the property they sold here where quit high in price. “You should know by now that this person would never count as a client, and we have a few minutes to close down. You should hurry and go find a client,” Manager Harf yelled out impatiently. “Yes Manager!” Alyana responded nervously before turning to walk out of the office but before she could take another step, Austin quickly grabbed her by the arm. He knew he shouldn’t be calm in this situation and that he had been insulted to many times but he still smiled calmly before speaking. “Why don’t you tell me the kind of person you think should qualify as a client here?” “You really want to know?” Manager Harf asked before chuckling. “Alright, I would tell you the kind of person we consider a client here. A person who can afford a house we
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX Kelvin's friend, Young Master Ken, grabbed the edge of the large, expensive dining table. His face was pale and tight. "What do you mean, my membership was canceled?" Ken's voice was low, but anyone nearby could hear the cold anger in it. "Manager Tyler, a gold membership isn't just a silly card. I’ve spent millions of dollars here over the years! I use this restaurant to meet important people and close huge deals! You can't just wave your hand and end it!" Ken was deeply upset. He had worked hard and spent a huge amount of money to finally get that gold-level card. Manager Tyler didn't look angry, sad, or happy. His face was completely blank. "Mr. Ken, I am very sorry, but the order is final. It came directly from the owner. It has absolutely nothing to do with me. We must ask you to leave the premises now." Kelvin felt a sudden cold dread spread through his chest. He knew how important this membership was to Ken, but he also knew how much he needed Ken right
CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
CHAPTER THIRTY_FIVEFiona zipped up her bag and walked out of the private room, her mind replaying the conversation she'd just had. Angela, after shooting Austin a final, heated glare, was right on her heels. The moment they were in the hallway, Angela grabbed Fiona’s arm, her face that of complete confusion and frustration."Fiona, are you serious? You're actually going to marry that jerk Austin?" she blurted out, her voice a low, urgent whisper. "Look at him! If you marry someone like that, your life will be a total mess. Don't you see that?"Fiona sighed, pulling her arm away gently. "I know, I know. But Dad’s company is in huge trouble. This is the only way to save it. You know that." Her voice was soft, barely audible over the chatter of the restaurant.Angela’s eyes widened, her expression full of disbelief. "But, Fiona, you’re so much better than him! I just can't stand the thought of you marrying him. It's not right," she insisted, her voice trembling with emotion."It doesn’t
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
CHAPTER THIRTY_FOUR"Exactly my point," Fiona said, her voice slow and calm. "This is our first time meeting. If I just genuinely said, 'Yes, I'll marry you,' you'd think that was crazy, right? It's better to be clear about everything. This way, we both know what we're getting into."Austin Parker narrowed his eyes. "I don't see how this helps me at all. If you marry me, the Lawrence family gets money, and I get a wife. That's a fair deal. But your way, I'm just part of a fake marriage. The Lawrence family still gets the money, but what do I get?"Fiona was surprised by how quickly Austin understood. She didn't expect him to be so sharp."I know you need money," she said softly. "If you agree to my terms, I'll give you $5,000 a month to live on."Austin smirked. "So, you're just trying to pay me off?""Call it what you want," Fiona replied coolly. "With your money problems, $5,000 a month is a lot. Think about it. If you agree, we can get our marriage papers done any day."Angela, who
CHAPTER THIRTY -THREE
CHAPTER THIRTY_THREEThat was how Fiona suddenly found herself engaged to Austin, a man she'd never met and who, from the looks of it, was completely broke. After her father had explained the situation, Fiona went home and thought it all over. She decided that if giving herself up could save her family and the company they'd built from the ground up, then she would do it. She couldn't stand the thought of watching everything they had worked so hard for just fall apart, with her father ending up in jail.Besides, she figured that if a big foreign company wanted her to marry Austin, he had to be someone important. She expected a wealthy heir, someone whose name alone could save her family’s business. But here she was, standing in front of Austin—a man who looked like a total pauper. She had already given up on finding true love and had settled for a marriage that would bring her family money and stability. Now, it seemed Austin couldn't even give them that.Fiona just couldn't understan
