In the afternoon, Dayanara was in the director’s office, handling the documents of World King carefully.
Alberto received a text message. After telling Dayanara, he got off the elevator.
A black Bentley was waiting for him across the street when he arrived at the entrance of the Baoding Building.
…
Half an hour later.
On the 26th Floor of Auton Hotel.
Under the lead of the old butler, Alberto walked into the huge office.
Gaige sat on a large chair calmly, and maintained the dignity of a superior all the time.
Alberto sat down on a chair. “Aren’t you confident that I’ll turn to you? Why are you reaching out for me? Can’t you wait any longer?” he said coolly.
Gaige was still calm and said, “It seems that you are determined not to return to the Burnetts.”
“When I was eight years old, I already said that the Burnetts would have nothing to do with me ever since,” Alberto said calmly.
“If you don’t want to return to the Burnetts, I won’t push. Just like when you left at eight, I didn’t insist on keeping you in against your will,” Gaige said calmly, “I seldom make mistakes in my life. But I should not have divorced your mother. It is the most painful mistake. However, I will never admit it.”
Alberto sneered, “Then what do you want from me now?”
“I want to tell you that I’m going back to Kingside,” Gaige said.
“I bought a villa in the Snowy Loong Villas. It is in Auton’s top villa district. There are ten sports cars in the underground garage. Besides, there are $100 million dollars in this Swiss Bank account,” Gaige said, “Take them all. Even if you don’t accept me as your father, I won’t allow my son to be bullied and live like a loser!”
“I don’t need it,” Alberto said indifferently.
“You take it as my pity on you, or as my guilt for you and your mother. I have never taken things back as long as I gave them out,” Gaige said with great dignity.
“I won’t interfere with your life anymore. I’ve already bought the Auton Hotel. Everything I gave you is in the safe in the conference hall on this floor. The password is your birthday,” Gaige said slowly, “Whenever you need these things, you can take them. If you are angry, you can throw them all away or ignore them. Anyway, everything is up to you.”
Alberto sneered and shook his head.
Gaige was still the same. He was still conceited and domineering, thinking that he could control everyone’s affairs.
“However, in your heart, you underestimate me too much.” Gaige was confident. “Do you think that I must rely on you to survive in the Nortons of Kingside?”
Gaige snorted coldly and changed the topic. “Let me tell you, if you don’t come back to the Burnetts with me, then I’ll call you in three months. At that time, you can go back to see your grandfather. Don’t go to Kingside without my permission.”
“If I don’t give you any call in three months, remember that in your life, you should never reveal your background to anyone. Don’t step into Kingside and you have to forget all about the past. Do you understand?”
“Is that all?” Alberto said.
Gaige said, “You have to keep in mind.”
Alberto stood up and left. But he frowned slightly. He felt that Gaige was weird today.
It seemed that the matter of the Nortons of Kingside is more complicated than he imagined…
Alberto looked back with hesitation.
He happened to meet Gaige’s gaze.
“Anything else?” Gaige asked calmly.
Alberto’s gaze changed slightly and didn’t say anything. Then, he turned around and left Auton Hotel.
The meeting hall was silent. Gaige watched Alberto walk out of the door and was silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh.
“Master, you…” The old butler hesitated.
“I originally thought that the other families of the Burnetts wanted to follow the right path. So we can take out the family rules and regulations to seize the power at the Council, and take the position of master. That’s why I wanted to get Alberto back,” Gaige said slowly, “I didn’t expect that they would no longer follow the rules. They turned to others and ignored the family. They were prepared to fight to the death. Even though I could bring Alberto back, he is just an ordinary person. It would be dangerous for him.”
“Master, you don’t have to be too pessimistic about the situation in Kingside. We might win. Although we lost some forces, there are still several hidden familys that listen to you. The hidden forces are also intact. They can join us to fight,” The old butler said.
“Well, my brother died. No matter how hard it will be, I will never allow them to take over the Burnetts… Tyree, you need to stay in Manley Province and wait for my news.”
…
After leaving the Auton Hotel, Alberto went back to Baoding Building and no longer thought about matters about the Burnetts.
In the evening.
Dayanara and Alberto got off work from the company, got off the elevator, and arrived in front of the Baoding Building.
Erick had already parked his car by the side of the road and waited for them.
“Alberto,” Dayanara hesitated and wanted to say something.
“What’s the matter?” Alberto asked.
“I have a party with my classmates tonight. Can you come with me?” Dayanara asked.
“Party with your classmates?”
Alberto frowned slightly. In the past two years, he had never met Dayanara’s friends.
“There are a few guys among my classmates. They are so annoying,” Dayanara found Alberto was doubtful and immediately explained.
“OK.” Alberto nodded.
They got into the car together. Erick started the car and headed straight for the bustling downtown area.
Ten minutes later.
The car arrived at a famous street in Auton. The street was filled with large restaurants, hotpot shops. There were various shops with their own characteristics, and entertainment places. There were a lot of people, and the entire street was brightly lit.
Special room 888, Purple Dynasty KTV, was the place.
As soon as Dayanara entered, she immediately attracted others’ attention.
“Dayanara, I haven’t seen you for a long time! I heard that you’ve become the design director of the Mcconnell Group. Congratulations!”
“Well, Dayanara won a prize for jewelry design in college. She’s an expert!”
A few beautiful young girls stood up to greet her and they all smiled.
“By the way, Dayanara, who is this?” A man in a dark purple suit asked. He looked at Alberto unkindly.
“He is…” Dayanara was about to speak.
“He is Assistant Alberto, Dayanara’s assistant director,” A girl with a ponytail and fashionable dress smiled and answered.
Alberto smiled faintly and didn’t say anything.
He knew the girl with the ponytail. She was Crystal Moody, Dayanara’s best friend.
“Oh? Hello, Assistant Alberto.” The man in the suit smiled and handed over a business card. “I’m Blake Shaw, the general manager of Sunrise Construction Company.”
Alberto nodded slightly, “Hello.”
“Dayanara, you’re really amazing. You even have an assistant!” A charming girl in a black dress said jealously.
“You don’t know. She even had a BMW 5-Series. The company also offered her a driver,” Crystal said proudly as if she was showing off.
“Amazing! You’re really young and talented!”
“Dayanara, you’re so awesome.”
All the girls present were envious.
“Alright, Crystal, be modest. Everyone is no worse than me,” Dayanara smiled and said. But she was a little satisfied. After all, for so many years, she had never felt like being focused by others.
As everyone chatted, Alberto and Dayanara sat down on the sofa.
At this time, Crystal walked towards Alberto. She was a little unhappy.
“Alberto, Dayanara was happy today. Don’t embarrass her,” Crystal warned, “Don’t tell them that you’re Dayanara’s husband. Do you understand?”
Alberto smiled and didn’t say anything.
“Dayanara, you too. Why did you bring Alberto here? You know, after I praised you in front of your classmates, you become the idol of our class. Don’t let Alberto ruin your image,” Crystal told Dayanara.
Crystal tried her best to warn Dayanara, ignoring Alberto who was sitting beside her.
“Alright, Crystal, stop,” Dayanara said seriously.
At this time, a girl said, “Today, our classmates gathered to celebrate Dayanara’s achievements. Come on, everyone, let’s drink a toast.”
“Cheers!”
“Happy!”
The group of people got up and drank a lot of beer.
After everyone sat down, Blake suddenly took out an exquisite small box from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a glittering jade necklace. It was extremely dazzling, and one could tell that it was of high quality.
“Dayanara, congratulations. This is a gift for you. I hope you like it.” Blake walked towards Dayanara and gave the gift to her.
