Chapter 147
Even though Douglas hadn’t been in Hunt’s house for many years, he was still very prestigious at home.
When eating, no one said a word.
As soon as the meal was over, Karl stood up and said, “We still have a job. Let’s leave.”
Alyssa was a little surprised, but she didn’t expect Karl to leave so soon.
Hearing this, Douglas looked up at him: “You go first.”
Obviously, Douglas and Karl had only a few words in the dialogue, but Alyssa felt inexplicably that they seemed to have had a deep conversation.
Karl took Alyssa, who was still in a daze, out of the Hunt family villa.
Back in the car, Alyssa still looked dazed.
“You and my grandfather, what’s the matter with you?” She really couldn’t understand this kind of silent victory over the soundless duel.
“He will come to find me.” Karl curled his lips, smiling slightly.
Whether Douglas would go to Karl, Alyssa didn’t know, but Douglas came to Alyssa soon.
…
The next day is Friday.
Alyssa went to the company early in the morning, and heard from them that the old chairman came to the company to sit down.
As soon as Alyssa sat down, she received a call from Isabel.
Her tone was reluctant: “Grandpa wants you to come to the office.”
After she finished speaking, she hung up.
Alyssa went to the chairman’s office and found that Colin and Isabel were both there.
It seems that Douglas is not just looking for her alone.
However, neither Colin nor Isabel’s complexion was very good.
Colin’s complexion was very bad, and when he saw it with a cold face, he felt angry. It seemed that he was scolded by Douglas.
But Isabel felt that Alyssa was looking at her, and she gave Alyssa a cold stare.
Douglas did not see their little movements, and beckoned Alyssa to sit down: “Alyssa, sit down.”
This made Alyssa even more inexplicable.
Colin and Isabel were both standing. Douglas asked her to sit alone?
“Leave them alone, sit down and I’ll ask you something.” When Douglas’s eyes fell on Colin, he snorted coldly, “Prodigal son!”
He had said so, and Alyssa had to sit down.
“In Hunt’s house these years, they have treated you badly. I already know what they did.” Douglas said something like this.
This caught Alyssa by surprise.
She couldn’t figure out what Douglas meant, so she could only follow his words and said: “Nothing, it’s all a family, there is nothing wrong with it.”
She wasn’t sure what Douglas meant by saying this, so she didn’t speak the truth.
Douglas shook his head: “You were young when I left, but I didn’t expect that you were the smartest of the three children.”
smartest……
Alyssa’s heart suddenly jumped, a little disturbed.
Does Douglas already know something?
“Big brother and sister are excellent, I can’t beat them.” Alyssa lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Douglas’s eyes.
“Alyssa is a humble child.” Douglas laughed suddenly, raised his hand and shook it, and said, “Colin and Isabel, you two go out now.”
“Yes.”
Although Isabel was not convinced, she had to go out.
Before going out to see her, she gave Alyssa a vicious look.
Grandpa used to like her the most. He not only scolded her just now, but now he is kind to Alyssa that ugly woman!
…
When only Alyssa and Douglas were left in the room, Douglas looked upright and said, “I never saw that you are such a courageous child, and you dare to let the paparazzi come from the factory to home to make news. , After experiencing so many disputes, he is still safe.”
Alyssa was shocked, Douglas knew it!
The reason why Colin didn’t doubt her was because she played the role of a “fool” in Hunt’s house in the past few years. This was enough to paralyze Colin.
Moreover, Alyssa “begged” Karl to help Hunt’s solve the matter in the factory last time, and Colin would not doubt her anymore.
But Douglas was different. He was clever and spent little time at Hunt’s house. Naturally, he could see the strangeness of the incident at a glance.
“Grandpa is blaming me for letting the paparazzi come to shoot the factory?” Now that Douglas is straightforward, she doesn’t need to hide it.
It’s okay for everyone to make things clear.
“Do you know how much Hunt’s has lost because of the factory?”
“But, I just want to take this opportunity to make the Hunt’s reputation fire up. Later, Karl helped us to tide over the difficulties, and the reputation has risen, and more people are looking for cooperation. .”
Alyssa felt that her ability to tell nonsense with her eyes open was getting stronger.
It is a joy to be praised for being smart, but if the other person is not kind, you have to pretend to be stupid.
Alyssa felt that Douglas was a bad person.
People’s sixth sense has always been a very accurate and magical thing.
Douglas narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to discern whether her words came from true or false intentions.
Alyssa widened her eyes slightly and pressed her lips to make herself appear innocent.
Soon, Douglas let out a cold voice, waved and said, “Go out.”
“Oh.”
Alyssa stood up and walked outside when she heard the words. After two or three steps, she suddenly looked back at Douglas, “Grandpa, what are you looking for me?”
“It’s okay, go.” Douglas’s tone was obviously already a little impatient, as if he wanted Alyssa to disappear quickly.
The expression on Alyssa’s face faded, and she turned around and went out directly.
Even if Douglas treats her better than the others in the family, he is also a member of the Hunt family, and this family does not seem to like her in their bones.
Douglas just said that she had been treated badly in Hunt’s house over the years. After turning around and asking about the factory, she was impatient and directly ordered Alyssa to evict her.
It’s really a clear goal and no muddle.
In the afternoon, Douglas began to convene a high-level meeting to discuss countermeasures for the current situation of the family.
Isabel and Colin both participated, but Alyssa did not go.
Because Douglas did not call Alyssa.
It may be that Douglas’s temptation on Alyssa in the morning made him feel that Alyssa was really stupid, so he didn’t bother to pay attention to her anymore.
This has always been the case, and the family will exclude her from anything they do.
Alyssa has always understood this, so she didn’t feel any sadness.
Wouldn’t it be nice if she could leave work earlier without attending that meeting?
…
Because it was Friday, Alyssa didn’t plan to go home directly, so she waited for Luther to come and went to the supermarket together.
As soon as Luther got into the car, he said, “Liberated!”
“how?”
“The winter vacation is coming next week.” Luther collapsed in the back seat with a look of excitement.
Alyssa reminded him cruelly: “There will be an exam before the winter vacation.”
Luther was stunned all at once.
Chapter 148
Alyssa and Luther bought a lot of things in the supermarket.
Half of them are snacks chosen by Luther.
In his words, winter vacation is about to go, and winter vacation is about to be enjoyed.
When paying the money, Alyssa just took out her wallet, and was pressed back by Luther: “Go shopping with men, there is no reason to let women pay, I’ll pay!”
Alyssa: “…”
He used to live in her rented house. When he was eating and drinking, did he forget that he was a man?
Luther’s money was earned by helping people write and play games, and it was still very hard. Alyssa was naturally reluctant to let him spend his money, but she couldn’t afford Luther.
The adolescent Sir was as thin as a monkey, but with great strength, she abruptly stopped Alyssa, and he paid for it himself.
Alyssa had no choice but to give up, anyway, it was only a few hundred, and she just had to buy something for Luther later.
…
at night.
As soon as Alyssa brought the cooked food to the table, she saw Karl walking into the restaurant from the outside with an unhappy expression.
Alyssa asked: “What’s wrong?”
“Uncle explained what kind of dinner will be held in Best Day next night, let him take you to attend.” Luther didn’t know where he ran out, and directly answered Alyssa’s question.
Alyssa gave Luther a dubious look, and asked Karl: “What dinner?”
Karl did not speak, and sat down at the dining table.
“You don’t want to go?” Karl’s expression fully expressed his willingness not to go.
Luther leaned into her ear and whispered, “Cousin doesn’t want to see uncle.”
Luther and his father Trevor were at odds, and Alyssa could think of a little reason.
The reason is naturally related to Karl’s mother.
As for the details, Alyssa didn’t quite understand.
Back in the room, Karl still had that cold expression.
Alyssa walked over and helped him untie his tie: “Don’t go if you don’t want to, he will never force you.”
Karl bent down slightly to match Alyssa’s height so that she could untie his tie.
However, while he bent over, a pair of arms held her waist possessively.
Alyssa glared at him speechlessly: “Let go!”
Not only did Karl not let go, but he had to slide up her back inch by inch: “The tie is untied for me, and the clothes? Won’t help me take them off?”
Alyssa pushed him: “You want to be smart!”
“Then I’ll help you take it off.” Karl said, his long fingers slid from the back of her neck to the front.
The heating in the room was sufficient. As soon as Alyssa walked in, only one shirt was left. Karl’s fingers slid down the neckline of her shirt, and her shirt was unbuttoned in a smooth motion.
Alyssa felt that the shamelessness of the man closing the door was unmatched.
…
Saturday night.
Alyssa was sitting on the sofa in the lobby, with a row of makeup artists, stylists, and clothing collaborators standing in front of them.
A little further back is a row of dresses.
“Who asked you to send it over?”
“It’s Mr. Adams.”
Although she knew in her heart that no one would send these things except Karl, she was still a little irritable.
Last night, she asked Karl if he wanted to go to the dinner party, but he didn’t answer much. She thought he didn’t want to go, so she didn’t take the dinner party to heart anymore. Now he asked her to bring these things over. Prepare for the dinner.
But Alyssa was completely unprepared.
“Madam, time is running out, do you think we are going to try on the dress now?” the stylist asked aloud.
“Don’t worry, wait a while.”
After Alyssa finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone to call Karl.
Just as she took out the phone, Karl’s phone number had already called.
Alyssa answered the phone, but made no sound.
Karl on the other end of the phone was also silent, and then said aloud, “Have you tried the dress?”
“No.” Alyssa held the phone in one hand, and carelessly picked her fingernails in the other, her tone sounding a little loose.
Karl naturally heard her unhappy.
He seemed to chuckled lightly and said, “Just as if I ask you to go to the dinner party, I can promise you a request.”
Alyssa took the action of pulling her nails and asked, “Really?”
“Yeah.” Karl replied.
Alyssa sat upright, curled her lips, and said, “Then-sleep in separate rooms!”
“Impossible.” Karl directly rejected her request.
Alyssa leaned back on the sofa, and she knew that this man would not agree to her so easily.
“Then there is no discussion, I won’t go to the dinner!” Who has no temper?
Even if you decide to go there temporarily, why should he tell her in advance? Just call a group of makeup artists to the door without asking her opinion, just make the decision for her! Who gave him the rights?
If he lets her go, she must go?
Karl was confident, but also too domineering and strong.
But Alyssa is different from Rachel. She can’t do like Rachel, and let Colin arrange her life. Not only does she have no complaints, but she also enjoys it.
Alyssa directly hung up the phone.
She raised her eyes and saw a row of makeup artists standing in front of her, and said aloud: “You go back, I don’t need these things.”
…
Karl looked at the phone that had been hung up in his hand, a daze flashed in his eyes.
Alyssa hung up her phone?
Although he thought about making a temporary decision to let Alyssa go to the dinner, she might be a little unhappy, but he didn’t expect her to be so determined.
It was really beyond his expectation.
The dinner starts at eight o’clock, it is six o’clock, and it will start in two hours.
There was not much time left, Karl picked up his jacket, stood up and walked out.
Peter came in with a stack of papers and saw Karl was about to leave, and quickly stopped him: “Where are you going? These things haven’t been finished yet!”
Anyone who wants to work overtime on Saturday would not come if it wasn’t for the urgent work.
“There is not much left, you can handle it.” Karl patted Peter on the shoulder, and said in a serious tone: “If you move faster, you can go home before twelve o’clock.”
“???” Why did Karl’s tone sound like he was saying that it was early to go home before working overtime until 12 o’clock on Saturday?
Peter was about to cry: “f*ck, whose company is this!”
Karl had already walked to the door and said lightly, “Yours.”
Peter was speechless with anger, but did not throw the papers in his hand on the ground. Instead, he fell to the desk, and then pointed at Karl and said, “I have lived for so many years, I have never seen anyone shameless than you!”
“Thanks.”
Peter twitched his mouth, took out his phone to open the browser, and typed in the search bar: “How can a man with extraordinary perseverance and IQ be cautious on his knees and call him father?”
