The Billionaire’s Temporary Bride

Sachin didn’t expected that it was so difficult to exculpate Mr. Elton. He had pulled many strings, but those people didn’t want to get involved in this.

After being refused by several people, Sachin became a little impatient. He used to think that Benin City was not within the sphere of influence of his father, but now it seemed that he was wrong.

It was obvious that this time, his father would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Rosiley walked into the study with a cup of milk in her hand. Seeing Sachin frowning, she pursed her lips and walked over silently.

She gently placed the cup on the table and looked at him with concern. She asked tentatively, “Sachin, is there something wrong?”

Sachin looked up at her and smiled slightly, saying, “Nothing.”

Then he asked, “Why haven’t you slept yet?”

Rosiley sighed helplessly and said, “There are a lot of things happening lately. I can’t sleep well.”

Knowing that she was worried about her two good friends, Sachin didn’t want to burden her, so he didn’t tell her anything.

He stood up, picked up the cup, walked to her and gently stared at her, saying, “Go back to bed, I’ll be with you.”

Rosiley smiled and nodded.

They walked out of the study. The large study instantly became quiet.

….

When she received Griselda’s call, Rosiley was a little surprised. She thought that Griselda would not talk to her again after their unpleasant meeting last time.

Griselda wanted to meet her, just like last time.

Rosiley directly refused her, saying, “Ms. Fiona, if you still want to persuade me like last time, I don’t think we need to meet.”

After a moment of silence, Griselda said calmly, “Don’t you want to know more about the Elton family’s case this time?”

Rosiley narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on her phone.

She still went to meet Griselda.

“Ms. Fiona, if you have anything to tell me, please be straightforward. There’s no need to waste our time.”

Upon seeing Griselda, Rosiley said this directly.

Griselda put down the cup of coffee in her hand and looked at her. She smiled and said, “Miss Tang, how impatient you are!”

Rosiley replied with a smile, “I’m not impatient. I just don’t want to waste time.”

Griselda raised her eyebrows and stared at her for a long time, then she said, “I believe you have already known who was behind the Elton family’s case.”

Rosiley frowned slightly. Then, she pretended to be surprised and asked, “What do you mean? Is there someone deliberately manipulating Mr. Elton’s corruption case?”

“Miss Tang, I know you’ve already known it.” Griselda looked at her with ridicule in her eyes.

Rosiley curled her lips and said, “Yes, I know. So what?”

She sneered and looked at Griselda coldly, saying, “Don’t you come here just to embarrass me?”

Griselda raised her eyebrows and laughed out loud, saying, “Of course not. I’m not that boring.”

“Really?” Rosiley crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair. She smiled coldly and said, “Then I’ll listen carefully. Please tell me why you come to Benin City?”

Griselda smiled faintly, then picked up her cup and took a sip. She turned to look at the bustling streets outside the French window quietly.

Rosiley did not urge her. Instead, she showed great patience.

After a long while, Griselda slowly turned her head and put the cup on the table. She looked at Rosiley and said, “Miss Tang, I believe you have seen Sachin’s father’s determination. Do you think Sachin can contend against him alone?”

“I believe in him.”

What a concise answer! But it was also a naïve answer.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Griselda laughed and said, “Miss Tang, don’t you know that Sachin hasn’t made any progress in the past two days?”

Rosiley frowned and glared at her coldly without saying a word.

Griselda said, “You guys are still too young to defeat Sachin’s father.”

“This is Benin City, not the Capital,” Rosiley said coldly.

Griselda laughed at her words and looked at her, saying, “Miss Tang, do you really think that Benin City is not within the sphere of influence of him?”

Rosiley’s nervous expression had already told her that they indeed thought so.

Griselda felt that it was necessary to tell her the current situation. Otherwise, she would not know it was for them.

Thus, she said, “The Lu family is not just powerful in the capital. Otherwise, why would this happen to Mr. Elton? Besides, Sachin had contacted a lot of people, but those people did not dare to help Sachin. It was all because they were afraid of the Lu family and they did not dare to get involved in this.”

Sachin did not tell her this. So, she was doubtful and did not believe it very much.

She knew Sachin’s abilities, and she believed there was nothing he could not do.

Seeing that she did not believe her, Griselda said, “Miss Tang, Sachin is not as powerful as you think. Compared to the Lu family, he is too weak and unable to withstand a single blow.”

Rosiley said coldly, “You’re not just here to tell me this, right?”

“Of course not,” Griselda smile and said, “I just want to tell you that what I offered before is still valid. If you are willing to let Sachin give up the Lu Family’s inheritance right, I can convince his father to let you off, as well as Payton and the Elton family.”

Rosiley smiled faintly with a mocking expression and said, “Then you mean I should thank you?”

“I know you’re not willing to accept the offer now, but I’m sure you will.” Griselda was quite confident.

“Really?” Rosiley raised her eyebrows, saying, “Then I tell you now, I have no right to interfere in Sachin’s decisions. Therefore, I will never agree it.”

She stood up and said, “If that’s all, I’m leaving.”

With that, she turned around and was about to leave.

“Miss Tang.” Griselda also stood up.

Rosiley did not stop. Instead, she strode towards the door.

Griselda watched her leaving, and her eyes gradually went gloomy.

What a stubborn person she was!

It seemed that Griselda had to think of another way.

She sat back on the chair and sipped her coffee. Her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of ruthlessness. No matter what price she had to pay, she would make sure that everything in the Lu family would belong to Charles and Charlie.
