Chapter 22 Is Aurelia his wife?
But he couldn’t do anything about Callum, after all he was Callum!
A few minutes later, Callum stood up from his seat, “Mr. Li, we won’t sign this contract.”
Mr. Li immediately became anxious, “Mr. Finnegan, didn’t we agree on this before…”
Callum sneered, “You said you’d play a trick on me? David Howard, am I that easy to play with?”
David Howard turned pale when he heard this. Was Callum able to see through the trap clause he had hidden in the contract?C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“That’s not the case Mr Finnegan…”
David Howard followed Callum from the private room all the way to the club entrance, still trying to save the cooperation, while Callum, who was originally heading to the parking lot, turned into a straight walk.
Under a big tree a few hundred meters away from the private club, a sad song came into the ears of the group, “… You only need the light when it’s burning low. Only miss the sun when it starts to snow…”
When Rory saw who was singing, his mouth opened in surprise. When did Mrs. Finnegan fall to the point of performing on the streets?
In order to please Callum, David Howard took out a wad of dollars from his wallet and threw it into the iron box while his eyes were fixed on Aurelia. The singing stopped abruptly.
Because there are so many, I estimate there are several thousand…
Everyone looked at the wealthy lender. David Howard felt everyone’s gaze and told Aurelia, who was holding a guitar, with a little pride, “Sing a song for our Mr. Finnegan. If the song is good and Mr. Finnegan is happy, the money in my hand will be yours!”
Aurelia looked at the man standing upright beside her with her beautiful eyes that were about to spit fire. She wanted to refuse, but as if she had thought of something, she suddenly smiled again.
“Okay, Mr. Finnegan, listen up, this song is for you!”
Some people around had already recognized Callum and were screaming at his looks and temperament.
Callum looked at the girl’s shining eyes and had a bad feeling in his heart. As soon as he said the word “No…”, Aurelia immediately played the guitar to cover up his rejection.
There were other lyrics in the beginning of this song, but Aurelia ignored them and started singing the climax in the middle, “My warmth and your indifference make love foggy. If a love drawn on a foggy window is blurry or clearer, what kind of man are you? What kind of man are you? Watching her go without asking a question…”
At the end of the song, there were only a few words, “What kind of man are you, what kind of man are you…”
The atmosphere around them had changed a lot. David Howard didn’t expect Aurelia to do something like this. He saw her saying to Callum, ” What kind of man are you? ” He was frightened and didn’t know what to do.
But the singer was still singing and twisting her body, as if she didn’t know who she had offended. Callum lowered his head and pinched his brows. Without looking up, he pointed at Aurelia and ordered Rory, “She, Aurelia, is someone who can’t be drowned. Then you, Rory, now, immediately, find a deserted place and bury her alive for me!”
He had a premonition that if he didn’t kill this woman today, he would fall into her hands in the future!
What? Buried alive?!
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Others might have just talked about it, but Mr. Finnegan never talked about it… The group of people who had come to watch the fun immediately dispersed when they saw the burly bodyguards coming out.
Rory panicked and hesitated for a few seconds. In order to prevent Mr. Finnegan from chasing his wife to the crematorium in the future, he felt that he had to take action!
“Mr. Finnegan, the woman you are about to bury alive is called Aurelia!”
Callum looked at Rory like she was an idiot. Has this Rory lost his mind recently? Does he not know her name or what? Does she need him to remind her?
Aurelia realized that Callum was really going to attack her, so she quickly hung the guitar around her neck, dragged Liana, who was standing there in a daze, and ran! Before running, she didn’t forget to crouch down and hold a stack of US dollars…
Then she accidentally heard Rory say…
Rory saw the bodyguard approaching, coughed lightly and told Callum calmly, “The woman’s name on your marriage certificate is also Aurelia!”
“What does this have to do with my marriage certificate…” thing.
The last two words were left unsaid, and the man, who was wishing he could bury Aurelia alive, suddenly changed expression for the first time in his life.
Watching Rory’s expression change from indifference to astonishment, then shock, disbelief… all kinds of things, it was very exciting for Rory. He had never seen so many expressions on Callum’s face.
Knowing that her identity had been exposed, Aurelia let go of the still confused Liana, turned back, and waved to Callum, “I’m dumping you, Callum, remember to sign the divorce agreement!”
Callum pointed at Aurelia’s back as she ran away, his hands were shaking with anger, and he couldn’t say a word.
This little witch is actually… his Sweetie? !
After finally recovering from the shock, Callum’s next move was to kick Rory in the leg.
Rory whined, and he knew this was not going to end well for him.
“You’re really ruining my… sexual happiness!”
Throwing down a word, Callum strode to the Bentley, stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the private club parking lot.
When passing by Rory, he did not forget to inform him, “You, tomorrow, immediately get out of here and go to the construction site to carry bricks! Don’t let me see you for a year!”
The next moment, the Bentley disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Rory looked at the guitar bag and the money box left on the ground by Liana and Aurelia, and felt like crying but had no tears.
Liana was being dragged by Aurelia and was running breathlessly. Finally, she was so tired that she sat on a bench by the roadside. She couldn’t utter a word and could only breathe heavily.
Liana was so frightened just now that she didn’t hear clearly what Rory and Callum said at the end. Anyway, all she could think of was two words: buried alive…
Thinking of this, she tightly grasped Aurelia’s hand, who was also panting, and said, “Sheridan Buddy, hurry up… take this… money and run!” After repeatedly provoking Callum, Aurelia had no way out in Evercrest.
Aurelia waved her hand. She guessed that after Callum knew that she was his Sweetie, he would divorce her immediately and would not bury her alive. If he buried her alive, who would he go to get the divorce certificate from…
Her brain had short-circuited at this moment. She didn’t expect that if she was buried alive, she wouldn’t need to get a divorce certificate and Callum could remarry.
“Callum won’t do that. He’s a grown man and he’s not that stingy.” He already knows her identity, so he probably won’t kill his wife…
Thinking of the man’s sharp eyes again, Aurelia suddenly felt scared for some unknown reason.
Just as Aurelia hailed a taxi, before she got in, her cell phone rang. It was Alfred.
