Chapter 574: Marriage Proposal

"Miss, Zaccaria Sealey is here to see you."

"Already?" It has been a week since the divorce was completed and they already found out that she transferred her shares to Zaccaria? "Too quick." But isn't this a good thing? It means that she could take care of the eldest of the Sealey Family before her training.

"Miss, I hope you don't mind me asking, but… do you think Mr. Zaccaria would really betray his family?" Kasper couldn't help but ask. He didn't know Gabi's plan but he could easily guess it. The shares that Gabi gained from the divorce were transferred to Zaccaria's name. Obviously, everyone in the Sealey would start to doubt him. After all, they had been neglecting him for years now.

"Wrong question," Gabi uttered. "You should have asked the opposite. Is there any reason left for him to hold on to the people who wanted him dead?" She knew that Harry was always jealous of his brother. From his brother's looks to his height to his intelligence, Harry felt that he was inferior.

He was only good at making friends, socializing. Unlike his brother, Harry was not that smart or hardworking enough to take over the company. So, he relied on his parent's favor. Actually? The whole concept was really stupid. Even if he became the CEO of the company, he couldn't do anything because he lacked the skill to do so.

The best course of action would have been to use his own brother. But Harry didn't have the skills to manipulate his own brother.

Kasper said nothing else as he followed Gabi into the garden.

"I wasn't expecting that you would actually come here."

The man who had been talking to his secretary before she came turned towards Gabi, then he smiled. Gabi nodded in response.

The man before her was not handsome. To put it clearly, he looked beautiful. He had a small face that looked flawless, his lips were thin, and pink, his nose was tall and straight. With his phoenix eyes, Gabi would dare say that this man looked more beautiful than most actresses in the industry. This man looked the opposite of his own brother's manly charm.

"Miss Sutton… it's nice to finally meet you." Zaccaria said.

"Hmmm… you are here for the stocks?" she went directly to the point.

"Yes. I am wondering why you would purposely give me the stocks?"

Gabi didn't answer him. Instead, she sat opposite him, an enchanting smile was on her face. "You already know the answer to your question. So I will allow you to ask another one."

Surprise flashed in his mesmerizing face. "Then… let me change the question. Do you intend to help me fight for what was mine?"

"And if I say yes? What would you give me in return?"

"A marriage."

"…" Gabi pursed her lips. "No, thanks." She answered almost immediately.

"Really? I thought it wasn't such a terrible deal? A marriage is a marriage. You could make me stronger and in return, Sealey Construction is going to become the subsidiary of Ren Aesthetics. Moreover, I am not someone that would fall for someone else. We could keep the marriage until we found someone that we love." Zaccaria felt a little confused. He actually thought that Gabi would immediately agree to his terms.

"One… I have a library of novels with contract marriages." Gabi started. "They don't really end too well. So that is just a big no."

"…" Novels?

"Two, I can't marry someone more beautiful than me."

"…" Now, what kind of reason was that?

"Third…" She won't marry anyone that wouldn't give her a child with white hair. "Third is… I don't plan to marry someone that I don't love," she lied.

"Hah… it seems that I was wrong, after all. Well, then forget my presumptuous request. I was too direct and disrespectful."

"Apology accepted." Of course, she didn't mind. The proposal was a bit sudden, but this wasn't the first time that someone proposed to her out of nowhere.

In her past life, she received countless proposals from a lot of families after her divorce from Harry. Most of them just wanted to use her so they could swallow Ren Aesthetics. Of course, some of them just proposed because she was pretty.

Heh. Too shameless.

But well… she was too young to marry anyone. She won't repeat the same mistakes so she won't probably marry anyone unless she found the man that she slept with in the past life. Luca's father.

Obviously, she knew that this was really impossible. How could she find someone who was like a ghost? She didn't even know what he looked like. All she knew was that he must be the descendant of someone with white hair. Or maybe even the descendant of Lyca Shen.

But just the thought of marrying someone from the Shens sounded too impossible. She didn't want to waste her time seducing people instead of having her revenge.

"You actually came here despite knowing that your parents would accuse you of working with me." She didn't know if he was just extremely confident in his skills or just plain stupid.

"This wouldn't be the first time that they accuse me of something I didn't do." Zaccaria smiled. "It won't be too bad to do the things that they are suspecting me of doing."

"It would be dangerous," Gabi uttered.

"And yet you still dragged me with me."

"Right." Gabi nodded. Right now, Zaccaria didn't have any other choice. It was either he worked with Gabi or those people would take away the shares or worse, would kill him. He knew that no matter what he does, those people wouldn't believe him, anyway. It would be best to just fight back and strike first.

Zaccaria hid the cruel expression in his eyes. "Right now, I have more shares than Harry. Thanks to you. But I don't think I would be able to convince the other board to sell their shares to me."

"No need to convince them. They won't sell the shares. These people were business entrepreneurs, they would see the prospects of the company and wouldn't let go. However… you can convince them to kick your father out." Seeing Zaccaria's eyes widened, Gabi smiled. She could already hear Aden's nagging voice the next time she sees him.
