"She wanted shares for the divorce? How dare that woman…"
"That lowly maid doesn't even understand what shares meant. This is all that Gabi's fault." Mrs. Sealey said while gritting her teeth. They actually fell into a trap set by that woman! Clearly, Gabi was the one who wanted the shares and not Aren. Money should have been enough to pacify that lowly maid.
"She even had the guts to ask for five percent of the shares? How bold." Even Mr. Sealey couldn't help but hate Gabi even more.
"I already knew that she was scheming something. Or else she wouldn't have made me marry her maid. Clearly, she just wanted to use this opportunity to own some shares from our family." Harry said. "I wouldn't sign the divorce." Good thing that he already asked their driver to back Regina back, or he wouldn't be able to express his anger in front of her. "I would never sign it. If she wanted the money, I will give her the money but I would never agree to give her shares."
"And… you wanted her to expose the fact that you married her maid because… you assaulted her?"
"Brother, how could you say that? You are supposed to be on my side here!"
"Harry, think about it. Once that woman would provide some evidence of your actions, then everyone around you would be affected. They would criticize your woman for keeping you. They would criticize your parents for raising a criminal. As a Sealey, you should know that your actions could affect the whole family."
"Alright… that's enough…" their father said. "Your elder brother is right. However, we also cannot just give her what she wanted. I already asked my people to find her. As long as she is still in this country, there is no way that she would be able to escape us."
"You are going to— "
"She is a nobody. If she died, then everything would be solved. Moreover, I am certain that a Gabi would no longer do anything if the maid vanished."
"But dad… I am really curious. Why would Gabi want to become our enemy?"
Hearing her Elder brother's question, Harry chimed in. "Isn't it because she was a petty b*tch!? Father… why don't we just kill that woman?"
"You think you can make the Ren Family your enemy right now?"
"But elder brother…"
"We were lucky that we won the bidding against them last week. However, because of this incident, I believe that the Ren Family would closely watch our actions."
"Again, your elder brother is right. We cannot act rashly. We can't just target them and not expect a full-scale war against the Rens. For now, we needed to avoid offending one of the founding families. We are here to establish our Sealey Family. That should be our priority."
"Then… what are we going to do now? Are we just going to give them the shares?"
"Let's wait and see. I believe she isn't done yet. If worse comes to worst, I will just contact the main family and let them take care of her."
"Alright…"
...
Ren Mansion
"Tomorrow, I want you to prepare some snippets for some gossip. Spread it online." Gabi uttered. "The topic is simple… Harry Sealey's rumored marriage. Make the people think she married Regina."
"Ah?"
"You have questions?"
"Well… "Kasper hesitated for a few seconds. "Why do we need to make them think that the bride is Regina?"
"Obviously, we need to put more pressure on her. If this rumor will go out, then her company would pressure her to give some statement about this matter. She cannot just say that they weren't in a relationship, so she would probably say that they weren't married yet. However, they were already thinking about it."
Gabi continued. "This would only make it more entertaining. Once… we reveal that Harry is married to another woman that he assaulted, the effects would be shocking to Miss Regina's career."
"Understood. Let me work on it tonight."
Gabi smiled as she looked at her reflection from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of her room. The glass was so clear, she could see her whole features from her reflection alone.
Seeing the smile on her face, Gabi murmured, "Regina… and Harry." These two people made her life hell in the past. In the end, Harry left Gabi and lived happily with Regina. At that time, Gabi was certain that she never loved Harry. Since she married the man, she tried her best to become the best and kindest wife. She attended parties with him, raised funds for the company, and helped the Sealey Family along with Alfons.
Because of her, the Sealey Family became a powerhouse after they swallowed the Ren Family. And when she became useless, Harry just dumped her like a used fabric. The thing is, she couldn't do anything about it because of Alfons.
She couldn't retaliate and could only watch from the sidelines as they f*cking said their vows on their wedding day. She would never forget that humiliation of attending her own ex-husband's wedding just two months after they divorced!
Gabi gritted her teeth. Just the thought of that made her irritated.
"Why do you look like you wanted to kill someone?"
"You — " Aden? Why was he inside her room again? "What are you doing here?"
"I already told you your security is weak. Why didn't you fix it?"
"What?" It took her a couple of seconds to understand his meaning. "You used the window?"
"Naturally." He calmly sat on her bed. "I am good at climbing windows."
"…" She immediately got up and distance herself from this sociopath. "Why are you here? You know… you have no respect for my privacy."
"You sound ungrateful."
She closed her robe and crossed her arms across her chest. "So… since you provided security for me, I should just allow you to walk inside my bedroom anytime? Is that even logical?" She clenched her teeth. "How dare you!? I am still an unmarried woman!"
"Ah… alright. Next time, I will use the door and expose myself to your grandfather. Then I could just tell him, I am your sugar daddy."
"You — " What the hell is wrong with this person? Did he have problems in his head? She tried to compose herself. She couldn't let this man win. She knew that he liked to tease her and this time, she will not let him win. "Why are you here!?" she asked while leaning against the wall.
"Hmmm… I told you not to touch the Sealey Family anymore."
"What does it have to do with you?"
"They aren't as simple as you think."
"This is my personal matter."
"Really?"
"What the hell does that mean?"
"I don't believe you. According to my research, you and the Sealey Family never met before your cousin introduced you to Harry. And you are saying that this is personal? Hey kid… do you happen to have unrequited love for Harry?"
"Hey… what's that posture? Why are you lying down on my bed?" she rushed towards him and tried to pull him up. "Get up… this is my bed."
"But it's a nice bed."
"Get up." Again, she tried to pull him up. But how could someone with her small stature have the strength to pull a six-foot man up? She grunted as she drew her brows together. "I am not sharing my bed."
"Why are you so childish? If you don't want my scent, just change your sheets after I leave. Is that even a problem? Tsk."
This man is really testing her patience and control. "Mr. Aden… you know… I don't think we should see each other again."
"Why does it sound like you are breaking up with me?" He shamelessly used both of his palms as his pillow as he smirked at her.
"Seeing you is going to make me die from too much anger. I am too young to die."
"Exactly… You are indeed too young."
"What's that supposed to mean?" This man… why was he acting like this?
"Nothing…"
"…" She put her hands on her waist. She was standing by her bed as she looked down at him. "Tell me… why don't you want me to get involve with the Sealeys?" She wanted to get this done as fast as possible so this person would leave her room.
"They are not a native of this country."
"I know. So? Should I be scared of foreigners?"
"I don't know Miss Sutton. You were the one who gave us the information about the real Mr. Sealey. Aren't you scared that they would imprison you and use a fake to fool your family?"
It was as if a cold bucket of water was poured inside her soul. That's right. She had forgotten about the real Mr. Sealey. "And… why does this have to do with being a foreigner?" she asked. In the past, she accidentally discovered this secret. She just overheard Mr. and Mrs. Sealey talking about it. She actually didn't have enough information about this matter.
