Chapter 264 Make A Bet
"Darren, that house is so beautiful," Rose said, taking the hand of Darren. "The sunlight is also very good."
"Give me the clothes. You can leave now." Darren knew what Amanda meant, but that room was a little bit funny because it was the room where he and Amanda lived together. There was a big and luxurious bedroom in the house, but he had to sleep with her in the guest room. But he had no other choice. Because Amanda was unwilling to climb on his bed, he had to walk to that room himself.
They would never go back to that room again, but it would carry their lost memories forever.
However, he thought the man, his grandfather, made all these things. In an instant, Darren's eyes turned cold and he stood up and left. Looking at Darren's back, which made people feel uneasy, Rose went downstairs in a hurry. However, by accident, she fell on the floor with one foot and sat on the floor.
Alarmed by her sudden move, Rose immediately covered her belly with her hands, and found that there was nothing serious with it. Relieved, she stroked her belly and muttered, "Baby, you're the only hope of mine. Please be fine, baby. We have to merge into one to make your daddy come back to his senses. Don't let that tramp take your daddy's heart."
After nagging for a while, she finally stood up and sat on the sofa, waiting for Darren.
Looking at the decoration in the room, Rose couldn't help but be happy. She was happier than any big prize she won, because the awards were only temporary honor. And this could be her forever happiness. She wanted to become the woman of Darren, and his wife.
In order to achieve this goal, she would surely spare no price. A cold light flashed across her eyes.
Darren drove all the way to his grandfather's house.
Nicholas was playing with the bird in the garden when Darren came in. The bird was so scared that it gave off several feathers.
"Look at you. You are as impatient as a child," Nicholas said.
"I want Amanda. Grandfather, what can I do to make you let her go?" asked Darren bluntly.
"If you want anything, just go and get it yourself. Do you need someone else to send it to you?" Nicholas didn't take it seriously. He continued to order bird food with the little spoon in his hand. "You haven't been back for so long. You came back just to show weakness to me. You are so spineless."
"Grandfather, it's not fair to Amanda. You threatened her with her brother. Don't you think it's a little cruel to force a girl?" Darren said.
"Cruel?" Nicholas sneered, "Do you think you can have all these without my brutality?" NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"But we should meet the moral principles. It's not different from robbery at present," Darren said excitedly.
"You just have a crush on her. If the one taking the blame is someone else, will you still be so excited?" Nicholas said lightly. He put down the delicate cup in his hand, "You accused me of being unfaithful here just because you fell in love with her."
"Yes, grandfather. I like her. I want her to be with me," Darren said.
"Even if we give up the opportunity of promoting the An Group? To swallow the Cheng Group, our market value can increase at least two billion. Even so, do you still want to give up?" Though Nicholas was aged, his eyes were as sharp as eagle's. Even Darren could not stand his questioning. He replied in a low voice, "Yes."
The expansion and development of the An Group could be going on, but now, he only wanted to stay with Amanda.
A loud noise cut through the air. Nicholas' crutch hit Darren hard. Darren stood up and said nothing.
Nicholas was never a kind-hearted person. When he hit someone, he would show no mercy. Moreover, his crutch was also tailor-made and it looked very light. In fact, it was still painful to hit Darren. Darren only frowned once, but he still forced himself to endure the pain. If he wanted to save Amanda as soon as possible, he must make his grandfather satisfied.
"Is the An Group worthless in your eyes? Even worse than a woman?" It was rare for Nicholas to be so angry. He had seen how miserable his son was before. He didn't want to see his grandson acting like this because of love. He put all his heart and soul into a dispensable place. But looking at the resolute expression on Darren's face, he would not take his words seriously.
After all, it had been a long time since he met Darren last time. This time he came here, he put on a pleading gesture, as if he was begging him for a woman.
One woman. It was just one woman.
Nicholas got angry and laughed. Why did his family always have affectionate people? Darren's father was willing to die for love, and his son also wanted to lose his career for love. "Darren, I raised you up from an early age. You have learned everything when you stayed with me, but you are not as good as your father, even worse than your father."
"Grandfather, I don't mean to compare with my father, and I won't be in a situation as hopeless as him," Darren said quickly. He knew that the death of his father had always been a scar in the heart of his grandfather. But he and Amanda loved each other so much, they would not be like his father.
"Do you dare to make a bet with me?" Nicholas said slightly, "We will bet on whether you are right for each other or not, can you?"
"What are you doing?" Darren asked warily.
Nicholas answered, "It's very simple. I want to see if she can be the daughter-in-law of our family and if you can be a qualified successor of the An Group. The dice in the game is for you two."
"What should I do?" Darren asked.
"I'll give you three years. When you go back home later, I'll ask you to divorce Amanda. In these three years, can she promise you that she won't marry anyone else but just wait for you?" Nicholas said, "You can't tell her the reason why you divorced her and our bet. Otherwise, the bet will be canceled at once."
"Do you want her to fully believe that I dislike her?" Darren asked.
Nicholas said firmly, "Yes, if she can't only love you, then what she loves is your power. How can such a woman deserve to be the hostess of our family?"
"But grandfather, if she really cares about my position and power, she wouldn't have been so stiff with me before. Darren doesn't love money. She doesn't love the expensive things in the world. These are not the most important things to her," Darren added.
"That's just because she doesn't have enough chips. We're both doing business. If she has no money, how can she support her brother's medical expenses?" Nicholas said calmly, "Although the Cheng family is using her, the medical expenses to look after Amanda's brother these years are paid by the Cheng family. Those money didn't come from the sky."
