Mr. Dunne nodded and said indifferently, “I’m not sure, but we better prepare for it beforehand.”

Alger instinctively looked at Mr. Dunne and was immediately shocked.

This was the first time Alger saw those eyes in such a long time. They were so deep and calm.

This shouldn’t be a gaze an incompetent man should have, so Alger thought that his father-in-law seemed to be hiding something for a second.

Aries looked at Mr. Dunne mockingly and said, “Don’t expect Grandpa to come here. It’s impossible!”

And yet, 30 minutes later, Aries saw the luxury car of the Duke of Rolle here.

When he saw the people who got out of the car, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Because not only did the Duke of Rolle come in person, some members with pretty high status in the Rolle family were also here!

Of course, that also included Aries’ father, Dick.

When the Duke of Rolle and the others arrived at Mr. Dunne’s house, all of them were panting tiredly.

Even though Mr. Dunne and his family didn’t live on a high floor, it was still a bit exhausting for these members of the Rolle family who usually lived a comfortable and pampered life.

After seeing the Duke of Rolle, Mr. Dunne immediately went forward to hold his arm.

The Duke of Rolle felt a little complicated in his mind. It had been a long time since he came to see Mr. Dunne.

The Duke of Rolle patted Mr. Dunne’s hands and said, “When was the last time I came here?”

“Eleven years and five months ago.” Mr. Dunne told him the exact time clearly.

The Duke of Rolle paused. He shook his head and the smile on his face seemed a bit bitter. He said, “Right, you remember it very clearly.”

Aries was still very dumbfounded right now. Looking at the Duke of Rolle in front of his eyes, he even doubted if he was seeing things.

Aries quickly went forward and said to the Duke of Rolle, “Grandpa, how can a person like you come here?”

The Duke of Rolle glanced at Aries with dissatisfaction and said, “Don’t you know why I came here? Move!”

Aries saw that the Duke of Rolle was truly angered, so he walked aside obediently without saying a word. He glanced at the Duke of Rolle and his father behind the Duke in panic.

When Winnie saw the Duke of Rolle and the others, she wanted to go over to greet them, but Alger pulled her behind him.

Alger didn’t avoid the Duke of Rolle and the others when he did this, so the Duke saw this scene with his eyes clearly.

For a second, the Duke of Rolle started to doubt if he was still Alger whom he had always looked down on?

Alger saw that the Duke of Rolle kept staring at him. He only smiled and nodded without saying anything.

The Duke of Rolle said with a deep voice, “Do you really think that this contract is very important in my eyes?”

Alger smiled and said, “Of course not, but this contract represents 50 million dollars, which should be important to you, right? Another thing is that the blood relation between you and Winnie is still here.”

“Huh?”

The Duke of Rolle frowned slightly, but the expression on his face wasn’t as serious as before.

“Winnie is also a member of the Rolle Corporation, but her whole family can only live here, a place where you find shabby. She’s even bullied by the people in the company.”

Alger looked at the Duke of Rolle and said clearly, “Grandpa, as a fellow member of the Rolle family, don’t you think it’s inappropriate?”

The Duke of Rolle remained silent as he frowned and looked at Alger.

“Even an outsider like me finds it inappropriate!” Alger continued.

Before the Duke of Rolle could reply, Aries on the side said, “She’s bullied in the office because she’s a junior. Besides, you can’t really call it bullying!”

“After all, Winnie’s not capable enough. We certainly have to give her some of our comments!”

“Haha!”

Alger immediately chuckled after hearing that. “I don’t know how you define a person’s ability, but according to what you said, Winnie is less capable than you are.”

“So why did Winnie manage to get the deal you couldn’t get? Don’t you feel embarrassed?”

This hurt Aries deeply. He said, as if he couldn’t resign himself to accept the truth, “You don’t work for the company. You certainly won’t understand the matters of the corporation!”

“Winnie succeeded in doing things we couldn’t achieve so easily. Who knows if she’s…”

Slap!

As Aries was talking, he was interrupted by a slap from his father, Mr. Dick.

Aries looked at Dick dumbfoundedly and noticed that Dick, the Duke of Rolle and the others all seemed extremely upset.

Even Alger’s face darkened at this moment.

Everyone knew exactly what Aries was trying to say. Luckily, Dick interrupted him. If not, this would probably be harder to handle.

After all, they were asking Winnie for help. Aries smearing Winnie’s reputation like that was undoubtedly ruining the Rolle family.

Also, what Aries said just now was only his subjective guess. He said it only to make himself feel a bit better, but for the other members of the Rolle family, it was total humiliation, let alone Alger.

Alger’s reverse scale right now was Winnie.

The Duke of Rolle looked at Aries and yelled furiously, “You useless thing, who are you to say that Winnie isn’t as capable as you are?”

At first, the Duke of Rolle also thought that Alger was an indifferent man and that he was just the toy boy of the Rolle family, but now, he was different.

After so many years, Alger knew his position clearly in the Rolle family, but even then, he still dared to say these things to the Duke of Rolle so calmly.

This was enough to prove that Alger wasn’t a simple person.

And now, what Aries had said pissed Alger off again. This matter was certainly even more difficult to deal with now.

“Yes.” Alger looked at the Duke of Rolle and said, “Winnie is indeed more capable and outstanding than Aries.”

Everyone immediately went silent upon hearing this.

They certainly knew about this as well, but they didn’t say anything because the Duke of Rolle had always doted on Aries. Besides, the Duke of Rolle said those words just now only to be polite in front of Alger.

And yet, Alger brought it up again. Wasn’t he embarrassing the Duke of Rolle directly in front of everyone else?

Aries stared at Alger furiously and was extremely enraged, but he didn’t dare to say a word before the Duke of Rolle and the others anymore. After all, he was still feeling pain because of the slap from before!

The Duke of Rolle frowned and looked at Alger with an extremely gloomy face.

“I’m telling you this only because I hope that you can see what environment Winnie and the others are living in right now, as members of the Rolle family.”
