Chapter 221: One more person to share the family fortune
Allyce glanced at Casimiro’s sad face and didn’t feel sorry for him.
“Isn’t it good that the Delahoz family has a new addition? Allyce said, half jokingly, half seriously: “Maybe the joy will take the bad things out of it.
Allyce’s comment was just an offhand remark.
What I didn’t expect was that Casimiro was really thoughtful after hearing his words.
He seemed to be considering the feasibility of the matter.
Allyce just found this ironic.
All members of the Delahoz family were cold-blooded, unfeeling animals.
Not only did they have no feelings, they also had no conscience.
Allyce thought there was no point in her and Casimir talking about this nonsense, and decided to cut to the chase.
“Grandfather, today I came to ask you what you thought of what I said to you last time”.
Allyce’s face was smiling and her voice was soft.
But at these words, Casimiro’s face changed and he shouted: “Allyce! You are disrespecting your elders”.
“Senona would not disrespect her elders, grandfather, how do you feel about Senona falsely accusing me of this? Allyce raised her eyes to Casimir, her gaze steady.
He hadn’t cared about the Delahoz family for a long time, but he couldn’t help but ask Casimiro about it now.
“What?” Casimiro was stunned before answering.
There was a flash of embarrassment on his face: “That’s all rumour, that’s nonsense people say …”.
These last words, in the middle of Allyce’s eyes, she couldn’t even open her mouth a little.
Linda’s case, after involving Elvira in it, I knew something of what had happened then.
But it seemed to him that the Delahoz family would only be further humiliated by revealing now what had happened then.
After all, Senona had married into the Aybar family and there could be no more surprises.
Casimir’s thoughts are selfish and utilitarian.
Allyce didn’t know what she was thinking, but she had more or less guessed.
He laughed coldly and said, “Is that so? Grandpa is really getting more and more sober as he lives, before when people said my promiscuous relationship or abortion, grandpa would believe it without hesitation, now instead he won’t be so confused to believe people casually, which is good.”
“You …” Casimir was so embarrassed that his brow furrowed in anger, but he couldn’t say anything.
Allyce stood up and straightened, straightening his coat, and looked at Casimiro condescendingly: “When grandfather hears from my father, come back and talk to me about the president of LK”.
Allyce kept a smile on her face as she finished speaking and turned to leave.
She had barely reached the door when she heard a knock behind her.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Even without turning around, he knew that Casimiro was angry and that he was breaking something.
But what was the point of breaking things?
Casimir had never treated her like a granddaughter, and she had no reason to obey him.
…
Down the corridor.
Allyce came downstairs and saw Severo sitting in the single armchair.
He was reading something on his phone, his long fingers running over it from time to time, his gaze unusually focused.
Eric and the woman from before were sitting on one side, Senona and Enzo on the other, and not only did they not exchange words, they didn’t even look at each other.
The atmosphere in the room is somewhat chilly.
No wonder Senona and Eric are at loggerheads, even though they have no feelings for Elvira, they both love to keep up appearances.
Not to mention the fact that the woman was pregnant and Senona probably didn’t like the idea of having another person to share the family fortune with.
Allyce thought and slowed her pace considerably.
“Come here.
She heard the voice and looked towards Severo, who had somehow put his phone away and was looking straight at her.
Allyce saw this and hurried towards him at a faster pace.
As soon as she approached, Severo pulled her straight into his arms and sat her on his lap.
“There’s someone at …” Allyce didn’t like the idea of him being so reckless in front of outsiders and felt a little embarrassed.
Severo frowned at that and had to get up and take her to the other side to sit down.
As if bored, he took Allyce’s hand and held it tightly as soon as she sat down.
The other four people looked different as they flirted with the young couple.
Allyce didn’t mind their stares.
Seeing that Severo kept repeating the same action he had just done, he thought he was bored and asked quietly, “Shall we go back?”
“No.” Severo shook his head dryly.
Then he added: “Dinner is not ready yet”.
Could it be that the reason why the great President Betances did not want to return was because he had not had dinner?
Allyce felt a bit humiliated by this ….
Severo seized the opportunity and reached out to pinch his face.
Allyce looked at him angrily.
Severo didn’t mind, he clasped her hands together, cupped her fingertips, brought her hand to his lips and dropped a soft kiss.
Allyce tried to pull her hand away but couldn’t, so she turned her head away from him.
…
Senona took in the small interaction between the two and clenched her fists so tightly that she didn’t even notice the nails digging into her palms.
I had not had a good few days with the Aybar family.
Enzo hadn’t touched her, except for the one time he had deliberately seduced her on their wedding night.
Madame Aybar did not want to talk to her at all and Jonas Aybar behaved like a stranger.
She thought she had won by marrying into the Aybar family, that everything else mattered little to her, that she had the means to change the way the Aybar family saw her.
But seeing how Severo and Allyce got along made her jealous and she hated Allyce even more.
She turned her head to look at Enzo next to her and noticed that he kept looking over there, which infuriated her even more.
“I’m going to see how the kitchen is prepared and how much time we have before dinner”.
He stood up with a wave and headed in the direction of the kitchen.
…
At dinner, Allyce realised that not only the Delahoz family was present tonight, but also the Delahoz cronies.
And these were the people Eric had called.
His intention, it was clear, was to force Casimiro to accept that he was with the woman.
“Congratulations.
There were people who didn’t know what was going on and who were congratulating Eric.
Casimiro’s face had darkened into a pot.
Eric completely ignored Casimir’s frown and smiled back, “Thank you”.
Allyce couldn’t help but take an extra look at the woman, but she still thought the woman looked ordinary.
But her ability to get Eric to take her back to the Delahoz family, despite Casimiro’s pressure, is evident.
Perhaps Allyce’s look was too obvious and Severo decided to tell her anyway.
He whispered something sidelong in her ear, and Allyce’s whole body froze: “What did you say?
