Enrico sat there, his eyes beady as he watched the two of them, his crossed fingers pressed together to rattle his bones.
This was quite the windfall.
For the first time he knew he was an ATM machine in Rafael and Jaden’s eyes.
Interesting.
Really interesting.
He hooked up the corners of his lips and let out a cool sneer, his voice was gloomy, “What else, keep talking.”
If it were a normal day, Jaden would have stopped breathing when faced with such an Enrico.
But now is not the same, boos in order to their own son, even the life is given up, this shows what? It means that Bos is no longer the cold-blooded and violent Mr. Gustin in the past, but a person with flesh and blood and very heavy feelings.
Thinking so, Jaden does not feel afraid, only feel more difficult, “In fact, every time you give me boos change poor car, I … have complained in secret.”
I am afraid that it is not complaining, it is secretly cursing.
Enrico s eyes got even cooler.
Rafael sat there and patted Jaden’s shoulder, “Jaden you this is nothing, three years ago Enrico for Paige enchanted that meeting, I also moved and other plutocrats to join hands with the idea, although just a flash of thought, but also did hesitate.”
“…”
Enrico’s breathing slows as he listens, he slowly sits up straight and leans forward.
Rafael and Jaden looked over at him, their eyes both filled with a look of sadness.
Enrico looked at the two of them with a smirk and said, word for word, “Since you’re so sad for me, why don’t the two of you join me when I die.”
The light outside the window dimmed.
“…”
The looks on both Rafael and Jaden’s faces froze, and they looked at him fixedly, losing even the emotion they should have felt.
After a moment, Rafael came back to his senses and said, “Enrico, that’s not how it works, think about it, if the three of us die together, sure we won’t be lonely on the way to the Yellow Springs, but you’re still leaving Paige and Gabriel in the world, and their orphaned widows and mothers have to be taken care of.”
Widows and orphans.
The word stung Enrico’s nerves and his face sank.
He didn’t like that word, a lot.
“Boos, don’t worry, when you die, I will follow the orders of the lady, and when Gabriel grows up in the future, I will be his assistant again, and escort him to smooth sailing.” Jaden expressed his loyalty.
“So do I.”
Rafael solemnly said, “Paige that person has always been tough, I don’t think I need to take care of anything, but Gabriel, I will definitely take care of him as my own.”
“…”
Enrico looked over at him, his eyes growing darker, “My Enrico’s son, do I need you to treat him as your own?”
“It’s already that time of the year, you’re still saying such things, you can’t have thought about how difficult your son’s situation will be after you die, right?”
Rafael advised, “A boy grows up without a father’s role, then his life is too lacking, look at you, then look at me, we’ve both been there, you wouldn’t want Gabriel to become like you in the future, would you?”
“…”
Enrico pursed his lips and blushed.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about it.
It’s that before he even had a chance to think about it, Paige was already thinking a bunch ahead, as if a pair of invisible hands were pushing him forward, looking at all the scenes that were still to come after he died.
Suddenly, Jaden stood up from his chair with a deliberate look on his face, “boos, I know I’m not qualified enough, but I’ll definitely put my whole heart out to take care of Gabriel, so if you don’t mind, I’d like to be Gabriel’s godfather, and I’ll make up for the fatherly role that’s been missing from his upbringing.”
He wasn’t the most capable person, but he could spend all his time with Gabriel.
Before Enrico could say anything, Rafael’s eyes lit up as he sat in his swivel chair and shifted from side to side, saying, “That’s a good idea, and a godfather counts as half a father, count me in, and Enrico, with two of us as godfathers, we’ll be Gabriel’s biggest backer from now on!”
“…”
“I promise, in the future, the whole A country Gabriel walks sideways, so you can also put down your heart.”
The more Rafael thought about it, the more touched he was, giving the other party’s son as a godfather, the entire country of A’s hairdresser, there are not many who can do them this step.
Enrico sat there, holding back again and again to keep from tipping his desk over on the spot.
He looked at the two of them with suppressed anger, “I’m not dead yet.”
So much for rushing in to be his son’s godfather.
At that, Rafael turned his head to Jaden in confusion, “Isn’t it only 20 days?”
20 days to arrange the aftermath, isn’t that quite a rush?
Jaden’s red eyes also looked confused, “Could it be that 20 days is too sick to delay it for a while? Then I’ll call Dr. Clinton and ask …”
“Roll.”
“Scram now.”
“Don’t make me say it twice.”
“Bang!”
Nick, Carrie, the six who originally belonged to the Peak Club, approached to see Rafael and Jaden stumbling out of the study one after the other, the door to the study slammed heavily shut.
Both were in a state of disarray, their clothes somewhat disheveled, as if they had been thrown out.
“…”
The six men stopped in silence.
Rafael looked up and saw Carrie standing side by side with Nick, he cooled down his face, stood straight in his place, straightened his suit with a calmness, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and lifted his hands and threw his hands with elegance and nobleness, and put on the posture that a president should have.
“Why are you here?” Rafael asked, looking at Carrie.
“We had some business to see our brother-in-law.” Carrie said, glancing at Rafael in passing.
Rafael had always been a towering figure in her eyes, with a refusal of nobility in his bones, it was rare to see him like this.
“Oh, I’ll see you guys then.” Rafael acted as if nothing had happened, calmly walking past them, and when he reached Carrie, he stopped and lowered his voice to say, “When you go in, stand back.”
With that, Rafael leaves without looking back.
“…”
Carrie stared back, a little puzzled.
Nick stepped forward and knocked on the door of the study, uttering, “Brother-in-law, this is Nick, do you have a moment now? A few of us would like to speak with you about something.”
“Come in!” A somewhat angry man’s voice came from inside, a voice so cold that it chilled the bones.
The six men of Peak Club looked at each other, what the hell had President Rafael and Assistant Jaden just been talking about in there?
Nick pushed the door in, only to see Enrico standing in front of his desk with a sullen face, the desk was a mess as if he had been in a war as things fell all over the place.
Seeing them come in, Enrico raised his eyes and looked over coldly, “To say what?”
The six people silently crossed over the wolves on the floor and walked to Enrico, standing collectively and looking at him with a heavy expression.
This expression …
Enrico looked familiar, because ever since Paige had announced within the manor that he didn’t have a few days to live, he’d been looked at that way up and down the manor, as well as by Rafael and Jaden, who had just left.
Sure enough, Nick steps forward and speaks, “Brother-in-law, Sister Paige has told us all about your illness.”
“…”
Enrico was already so angry that he didn’t even know what anger was anymore.
