Mommy, Please Marry My Daddy (Kamryn)

Charlie thought, “Family scandals can’t be exposed, and that sneaky and sly old man, Zackery, must have some demands to make with me.

Zackery glanced at him and felt surprised inside.

He thought. “This kid wants to marry some random woman with such a sketchy past. This is out of the blue”

But at this moment, he looked at the man in front of him, who seemed relaxed and easygoing, lazily leaning against the window. Even in the dark, he could still sense the aura of power coming from Charlie.

He casually asked, “When do you plan to get married?”

“It’s soon

Charlie chuckled and said. “Mr. Duarte, do we really need these chit–chats? Just say it directly

Zackery was stunned a bit. Since Charlie was the first to drop the act, he decided to skip the chit– chats and get to the point, saying. “My daughter ended like this because of you. Regarding this matter, she and you shared equal blame. However, I am a fair person. She brought this on herself, and she has to face the consequences. Considering your relationship with Rose, I won’t hold a grudge against you. And out of kindness, I’ll let it go.”

His words were full of a sense of superiority.

But Charlie wasn’t falling for it.

He coldly smiled and said, “Zackery, don’t think that a few fancy words can scare me. What do you mean by sharing equal blame! She made her choice, and it has nothing to do with me. Don’t act like you are showing mercy to me and pretending to be noble. Let me give you a warning. Don’t try to act high and mighty. Your daughter’s current state is not my doing. To be honest, her actions have bothered me as well. In the past, I used to find her cute and nice, but now, she makes me sick.”

His words served as a reality check for Zackery.

Though Charlie called him “Mr. Duarte repeatedly, it was to show respect, but that didn’t mean he would always respect him.

Zackery realized this and slightly changed his arrogant attitude.

He nodded and smiled. “Alright! It’s my mistake. I shouldn’t use such harsh words.” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Charlie let out a cold snort, his demeanor showing arrogance.

Zackery noticed it and felt glad he had two nostrils; otherwise, this guy would have made him lose his breath.

He grinded his teeth and managed to hold back his anger.

Then he suddenly made a request, saying, “Charlie, there’s something you have to promise me. No matter what Nicole has done to bug you. I’ll keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t pull any more dumb moves from now on. But, given what happened today, I can’t let Nicole’s scandal hang out in public. Keep the fact that she was pregnant out of wedlock and went overseas for artificial insemination on the down–low for now. Don’t let it slip. I hope you’ll keep it to yourself until I figure out

solution.”

Charlie had already expected this request.

Zackery wanted to have a good reputation. Nicole’s actions would only stain his family’s name. If his powerful patriarch. Hapback heard about this, he would be pissed and kick Nicole out of the family.

Cooper in

trict and serious man, always playing by the rules. He didn’t have the energy to deal with the family’s internal affairs and their shady deals, but if something scandalous happened, he wouldn’t leave it alone.

Even though Zackery publicly shewed out Nicole, he still cared about her reputation, or maybe he cared more about his own reputation

Zackery nodded nervously.

“Fine, but there’s a catch.”

“A catch?”

Zackery’s face eased up a bit.

Since Charlie asked for a catch, then there would be room for negotiation. Zackery thought it would be good if Charlie was willing to bargain. He just feared that Charlie would be stubborn and leave no room for compromise.

“Okay. Just tell me, what’s your catch?

“It’s only fair to ask for hush money since you want me to keep a secret, right? How about 200 million dollars? What do you say?”

Charlie always had a crazy way of making people feel sick.

Zackery was totally sick, and his eyes were about to pop out.

He thought, ‘200 million dollars. Where am I supposed to get that kind of money?‘

“So much money,” he exclaimed, with a torn expression.

“Can’t you cough it up?”

Charlie smiled, knowing very well that he couldn’t. “No problem! If you can’t cough up it, you can offer something else.”

“What do you mean?”

“I heard that you’ll put up a piece of land in Silvester for auction.

Zackery was stunned.

He wondered, ‘How did he find out about this secret information?”

In that moment of his confusion, Charlie went too far in demanding, saying, “You should have the right to decide the ownership of that land before the auction starts. So, I want that land.”

“No way!” Zackery snapped back as soon as Charlie finished speaking,

The land Charlie wanted was meant for building a five–star resort someday. It would be a gold mine once it was done. Zackery had the power to decide who got the land. But right now, even without any development, the land would sell for tens of millions of dollars at an auction.

Charlie was asking for the land like he was trying to squeeze every last drop out of him.

He glared at Charlie like he was looking at the devil and firmly said, “I can’t give you the land. If you want 200 million dollars, fine, give me a month, and I’ll get the money for you.”

“A month? I don’t have that kind of time. Either cough up the money now or give that land to me. Or else, don’t blame me for being ruthless, Charlie said with a sly smile.

“Oh, and by the way, I have something you might want. If you’re willing to let go, I’ll do you a solid,” he added.

Zackery froze, feeling a surge of shock.

He thought, Something I want? Could it be proof of those horrible things I did? How did this guy pull off such a sneaky move! He kept evidence of my crimes hidden, and now it’s his best leverage. He’s a real snake!

The mere thought of it made him nervou

Charlie suddenly said. “Humphs, but I knew you would say no. Well, forget it then. Even though your family and my family have been friends for a long time, I’m sick of Nicole’s behavior.
