Chapter 761: I Want Your Grandfather’s Forgiveness
Allen was instantly relieved. He raised his glass to Heather and drank it down.
She shook her glass. She glanced at him with a frown before lowering her head to take a sip.
Seeing her drinking, he was overjoyed. The plan went really well today!
She put down her glass and spoke coldly. “I’ve drunk. Can you stop pestering me now?” His eyes were deep. How could he possibly let her go now?
“Miss Denmark, I don’t want to pester you,” Allen followed unabashedly. “We’re going to be family. We should establish a good relationship between us first. Don’t you think so?”
She looked at him coolly.
“If you marry my elder brother, you’ll be my sister-in-law, and we’ll be family,” he continued.
However, there was no sincerity in his explanation.
She coldly looked away but didn’t say anything.
“Miss Denmark….” his eyes were fixed on her as he said suddenly, “How much do you know about my brother and my father?”
She raised her eyebrows slightly. “Huh?”
Instead of answering directly, she looked at him with a half-smile. “So you’re going to tell me?”
He was delighted. Sure enough, Heather was very concerned about this. If he tried to trick her with this, he’d definitely be able to get her to obey him at any time.
He began, “Of course. Miss Denmark, you really want to help my brother make peace with my father, right?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
He added, “Let’s find another place to talk slowly.”
She looked at him, her eyes deep. “Another place?”
“Yes, isn’t it inconvenient to talk here?” he said, looking around. “After all, family troubles shouldn’t be talked about in public. You don’t want too many people to know about it, do you?”
Her face was noncommittal.
Noticing that she didn’t retort, he took it for granted that she had agreed. “Come on,” he said cheerfully. “Let’s go upstairs and find an empty lounge and talk slowly…”
With that, he led her upstairs.
The party was on. All the people were downstairs, and no one would disturb them.
At the thought of this, Allen excitedly untied and took off his tie when he reached outside the prepared lounge, but he felt a little hot somehow.
Was it because things were going so well that he couldn’t contain his excitement? Allen was puzzled, but he didn’t think too much.
Heather’s eyes were deeper as she walked beside him.
His face had an abnormal flush. She saw at a glance what was going on.
“Hold on, you go inside first,” she said. suddenly. “I’m going to the bathroom.”
“This…” his heart sank, and he said hastily,
“Shall I go with you?”
“Master Alexander, are you kidding?” She looked at him sarcastically and snapped. “You’re not worried about me running away, are you? How is that possible? I want to see Alexander make it up and his father more than anyone.”
Hearing what she said, he instantly felt relieved. If he persisted, she would likely be suspicious. He hadn’t tricked her into entering the room. He couldn’t act recklessly and alert her.
“All right,” he said, pushing the door open with regret. “Then I’ll go in first. Don’t enter the wrong room later.”
She looked up at the room number and then turned to leave.
He went into the lounge and closed the door behind him.
Waiting in the lounge, he somehow felt more and more uncomfortable as his whole body got hotter and hotter. He had not only torn off his tie but even removed the buttons on his shirt. Besides, it seemed his brain had slowed down too…
Suddenly, the light in the lounge went out with a snap.
He stood up blankly, ready to check what I was going on.
No sooner had he reached the door than the door was pushed open, and a shadow quietly slid in. Allen felt only a dull buzz in his brain, and he directly threw himself at the intruder regardless…
Downstairs, Gary dragged Alexander and chatted for a long time. Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
Gary was happy in the heart. Allen had made a deal with him that his message would vibrate his phone to inform him if he made it. So Allen had really made it?
“Mr. Christopher,” Alexander said with an indifferent air, “Did you come to me just to tell me all these useless things?”
Gary gave a mock sigh and said, “Alex, I really want your grandfather’s forgiveness. How about this? I’ll go to find Allen right now and take him with me to say happy birthday to your grandfather. Let’s talk it out then. Okay?”
A cold light flashed in Alexander’s eyes. Seeing Gary directly leave without him, as if he was anxious to look for Allen, Alexander didn’t ask him to stay.
Gary pretended to look for Allen for a while. Noticing that Alexander was ready to go to find Grandpa Joseph, Gary hurried to run to Alexander and shouted with a panicky face, “Alex, your younger brother Allen is missing! I can’t find him anywhere!”
Gary yelled loudly on purpose as if he was
afraid that no one would hear him. Of course, everyone who had been around Grandpa Joseph heard him.
All the guests looked at Alexander in surprise and thought, “Alexander actually has a brother?”
Alexander had always been very mysterious to the media. They knew very little about his family. Now, they suddenly knew he had a younger brother. To many people, it was shocking big news.
Alexander said calmly in the face of their inquisitive gaze, “The security measures here are very good. He’s a grown man, too. He should be all right.”
Gary’s expression changed, and he put on a miserable look. “Alex! I know you’ve been complaining about me because of your mother’s death, and you won’t even recognize me as your father. But Allen is your biological younger brother, even though it was my second wife who gave birth to him. Now that he’s missing, how can you not care about him at all?”
The banquet hall was in an uproar, but Alexander was present, so everyone didn’t dare to discuss it too loudly.
However, Gary’s words were too shocking!
This man actually Alexander’s father? They looked alike, so no one doubted Gary’s words.
Besides, he deliberately used vague words, others subconsciously felt that Allen was born after Gary married his second wife, but Alexander didn’t care about his half-brother’s fate because of this.
In an instant, everyone just felt that it was very lucky that they attended the party today! They hadn’t expected that they would see such a drama!
Gary said, as if he thought of something and understood instantly, “Is it possible that you have something to do with your brother’s disappearance? Alex, I know you’re not what you used to be, but if you have any complaints about us, you can vent your anger on me, but your brother is innocent!”
