Chapter 391
Wife
Geoffrey smiled politely. âI have a simple request. I mainly want to meet President Harper. Thereâs nothing beyond that. Donât think too badly of me. Not everyone has an ulterior motive.â
âThreatening my daughter-in-law with your own son, and then telling me you have no ulterior motive? Chairman Carter, weâre not children or idiots, so letâs not lie with our eyes wide open,â Sydney snapped.
She was filled with rage. Every word she said was sharp, and she wasnât showing Geoffrey any courtesy.
Rosalie didnât expect Sydney to be so direct, either.
Sydney turned her head, and said, âRose, go pick out some seafood. Choose the freshest ones.â
âOkay.â Rosalie stood up. âYou two chat first.â
It seemed they had things to discuss.
The waiter led Rosalie to the seafood section. âThis way, please.â
All the seafood here was live, and selected on the spot.
After Rosalie left, Geoffrey discarded his polite demeanor.
Sydneyâs expression grew colder. âGeoffrey, what are you playing at? Do you find this amusing?â
Geoffrey chuckled, and rested his elbow on the table. He leaned forward a little, and said slowly, âYes, I find it very amusing. More importantly, I really want to see you angry, just like before.â
Time seemed to have been especially kind to Sydney, leaving only few traces on her face. She didnât have a single wrinkle, and it made her even more charming. This charm was too lethal and too attractive, something young women couldnât compare to.
Sydney scoffed. âReally? It seems your life is quite boring, Chairman Carter. How bored must you be to have such a twisted sense of humor?â
Geoffrey heaved a sigh. âIndeed, it is
a bit boring. The nights are endless. Why donât you suggest how to make my life more interesting, President Harper?â Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
He nudged Sydneyâs calf lightly with his toe.
Sydney didnât move. Her expression was calm, though she really wanted to splash a glass of water on his face.
âGeoffrey, keep your feet in place. You should be more dignified at your age, or youâll be an old lecher.â
Seeing Sydneyâs face devoid of anger, excitement, and any other emotion, Geoffrey narrowed his eyes. A trace of displeasure flashed in them.
He sat up straight, and leaned against the chair. âLetâs talk about your husband. Have you reconciled with him?â
Sydney smiled. âWeâve been reconciled for a long time. Weâre doing very well, thank you.â
âOh, really? I suppose youâre the type to reconcile with a scumbag husband. Whatâs the term? A scumbag is usually with a cheap woman, right?â Sydney stiffened slightly.
âGeoffrey, donât use terms you barely
understand to criticize othersâ
personal choices. I generally think
et
people who do that are quite low Only lowly beings have such narrow minds. Besides, you rich folks secretly cheat on your wives all the time, donât you?â Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
There were too many people in this world who criticized others without bothering to look in the mirror. Who gave them the right to do so?
âHeh.â Geoffrey tugged at the tie
around his neck, feeling a bit
irritable. âYou really know how to rile
me up. Fine, letâs talk about your son Theodore. I didnât even know he was married.â Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Sydneyâs lips curled up as she chuckled. âThatâs none of your business.â
