Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

25



There was also no turning back for Ciara either now.

On the one hand, there was Henry, who she could not possibly afford to cross, and on the other hand, there was Dennis, who was now turning her in.

She saw no hope of winning either side.

Now that since she could not afford to cross Henry, she would have to sacrifice Dennis.

As long as she insisted there was something between Dennis and Zoe, what she did today would be just natural.

Not only that, but Zoe would also be blamed for cheating as well.

It was Henry Han. There was no way someone like him would allow his women to mess around behind him.

At that time, not only that Zoe would never get away with it, her position in Henry’s heart would also be shaken. It would not be too late to teach her a lesson then.

Come to think of it, the look in Ciara’s eyes grew even colder.

But the next moment, Dennis hurriedly explained, “Mr. Han, don’t believe her nonsense. I have never met Mrs. Han before, how could I have anything to do with her? You can check it up if you don’t believe me!”

“You asshole. You coward. Do you remember how you begged for my consent for you to be with Zoe? And you say such nonsense now? Are you even a man?”

Dennis was furious. He pointed his shaking finger at Ciara, “You old hag, so you put it all to me now just to get away with it? You frame me and you even frame Mrs. Han? You think you can fool Mr. Han just so easily?”

Ciara sneered.

“So you just won’t give up. Ok, you said I asked you to help me. Do you have any proof? I haven’t blamed you for drugging Zoe yet and you are blaming me now?”

Dennis’ face paled.

It was indeed him who had put the drug in that drink.

But he was just doing what Ciara told him to do.

And now she wanted to push everything to him?

Dennis was almost mad with anger, but he could not say a word. He could only stare at Clara.

When they were discussing all these things, they just talked face to face, so Ciara was sure he could not have any evidence. Now, seeing the angry but silent Dennis, Ciara let out a proud snort triumphantly.

Just when Zoe was watching them arguing, a word suddenly came to her mind.

Dogfight.

It was really a dogfight.

They were allies just now. And after being threatened by Henry, they immediately turned their back against each other.

How unfortunate.

Zoe smiled wryly. At that moment, she heard the lazy and cool voice of the man who was sitting next to her.

“I just want to know what happened. And you

are fighting. You must think I have got nothing better to do.”

The man dug a finger in his ear as impatience flashed across his face.

The faces of Ciara and Dennis all paled.

Ciara hurriedly explained, her face full of smiles, “Mr. Han, I really did not know your relationship with my granddaughter. That child is indeed hopeless. She should have told us if she is with someone like you. It’s indeed our mistake for things like this. Now that we are in-laws now, we should not be mad at each other.”

Henry raised his eyes and cast a glance at her, as if he was smiling.

“In-laws?”

Ciara felt somewhat awkward, but she did not come back down.

But if he thought about it, now that he and Zoe were married, and Ciara was Zoe’s grandmother, then Ciare should naturally be his grandmother-in-law.

Then they were of course in-laws.

That’s also why Ciara dared to sit there all the time she was talking.

She thought she was an elder from the Gil family, and therefore he would not go too far with them and make their relationship awkward.

If he actually believed what she said, and felt suspicious of Zoe, then it would be even better.

She had never expected that damn girl Zoe would bring back any benefits from the Han family anyway. Even if Zoe did get some benefits, thinking of their relation, she would not give a damn to the Gil family.

So, it would be better if Zoe lost this big backer.

While Ciara was deep in thoughts, she heard the voice of Henry.

“Since you just won’t tell the truth, I think I will just have to get rid of you both.”

Ciara was stunned. She raised her head and looked at him and Henry whispered something to the ear of Brian.

Brian left the room immediately, and came back shortly with a large stack of documents.

“Mr. Han, these are all the properties under Mr. Maldonado and Mrs. Gil.”

Henry took them over and flipped through them randomly.

Everyone on the spot was somewhat stunned and did not know what he wanted.

At this moment, he took one piece of paper

from the stack and lit it up with a lighter. Slowly, he put the piece of paper on the ashtray in front of him.

It was an estate Dennis’ father had given him.

Dennis paled and hurriedly said, “Mr. Mc … Mr. Han, what are you doing?”

Henry said slowly, “Since you just won’t tell me the truth, I will naturally need some ways to pry your mouth open! These are your properties. And I will burn one of them every three minutes. But I will return them to whoever decides to speak first. What do you think?”

‘What do you think?’

‘How shameless!’

They were all furious but they did not dare say anything. Ciara also realized she had been wrong all the time, and Henry had never put her in his eyes.

Her face turned cold, and said in a grim voice, “Mr. Han, these properties have all been registered. What do you think burning a few pieces of paper would do to us?”

Henry turned to her, smiling, “You are right, Mrs. Gil. You do remind me. Brian!”

Brian immediately took a step forward, “Yes, Mr. Han!”

“Every time I burn one of these pieces, get a company under their name to me. If they don’t sell, just crush them, crush them until they go bankrupt. As for their bonds and shares, never mind the poor ones, you should just focus on those profitable. Tell Mr. Khan, too. I believe he can make them no longer profitable.”

Brian tried hard to hold back his laughter, and nodded, “Yes, Mr. Han.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

He then turned to leave.

Watching him leave, the Gil and Dennis were all nervous.

“Mr. Han, you can’t do this!”

“These are all earned with decades of hard work. You can’t just destroy them.”

Ciara only wanted to bite her own tongue off now.

‘Why on earth should I say anything against him.”

He was just burning some documents, and they could always apply for new ones later. But now, they really got nothing left.

Henry watched them coldly and motionlessly.

“One last chance. Tell the truth or not.”

Dennis hurriedly nodded, “I’ll tell you everything.”

Ciara snorted in a stern voice, “Mr. Maldonado, you better think twice!”

How could Dennis ever care about them and he yelled at her, “Enough! You Gil can afford this but I don’t! I am not like you! Those would be everything I have. My father would kill me before anyone else if I screw it up!”

Ciara turned blue with anger.
