Chapter 56 Not His Wife


    From the suburbs to the Grand Hyatt, it only took Aiden a bit over twenty minutes.


    Elliot was waiting at the door for a long time.


    Seeing Aiden get out of the car, he doggedly went to greet and pat him on the shoulder, but what he


    said made Aiden want to hack him to death, "Aiden, I think I sent the wrong photo. If I resent the video


    of Isabel getting kidnapped, I’ll bet you’d have got here ten minutes earlier."


    Elliot was getting revenge for when Aiden forced him to announce his engagement with Lara.


    For thend south of the city, everyone now knew that he had a fiancée.


    He wanted to dump Lara, but if he broke up right after announcing their engagement, it felt too frivolous


    and irresponsible.


    This was not the most pressing matter.


    What mattered most was that his father, mother, and grandfather were now pushing him every day to


    introduce his wife to them.


    Lara was not his wife, she’s just a woman whom Aiden forced onto him.


    Elliot was saying something he shouldn’t say; Aiden kicked the car door shut, and greeted Elliot with a


    punch to the chest, "Don''t want thatnd anymore?"


    Elliot suddenly exploded, "Aiden, I went through the transfer process with the Bureau of Land


    Management; thend is mine already. Don''t you going to n to use a woman to seduce someone


    from the Bureau and change the contract, do you?"


    When Elliot mentioned this, Aiden immediately thought of Amanda, but he had no feelings for her,


    "Where did the photoe from?"


    "What photo?" Elliot yed dumb.


    "If you won’t say, thatnd will really change ownership." Aiden bypassed Elliot, acting as if he wasn’t


    there.


    The second he saw Aiden’s back, he shuddered and said, "On thenews; now the whole city is


    discussing your rtionship with Isabel. Two days ago, you two were still love birds. Then, in the blink


    of an eye, you’ve each got different partners. This speed, tsk tsk."


    As Aiden entered the VIP room, Samuel and Isaac were already inside.


    When he saw another woman, Aiden’s frowning brows slightly loosened, "Hello, Ms. James."


    For the first time, Aiden actively greeted a woman with whom he was not familiar at all.


    To think even Elliot would end up where he was today.


    He didn''t expect that the woman he randomly paired with Elliot would actually develop feelings for


    Elliot.


    "Mr. ... Mr. Howard, Elliot said that they were ying mahjong and missing a yer, and that you


    weren’t here yet, so I’d substitute in your ce." Lara got up and gave Aiden a seat.


    Aiden sat down, "Continue."


    He browsed his phone as he yed, and the photos of Isabel kissing someone were all over the


    He recognized the back of the man to be Owen from the vi.


    As he continued to browse, his date with Amanda was also the talk of the city.


    "Check the IP address of the original posts about Isabel and Amanda in the forum. Afterward, delete


    them directly." Aiden won the round, and quickly sent this text to Ewan.


    Poor Ewan; it was alreadyte at night, and he still had to work.


    But whenever he thought of Aiden''s dark, gloomy face, he didn''t dare to leave it be.


    After he finished texting, Aiden continued to y mahjong.


    His face was still gloomy.


    Samuel and Isaac nced silently at Elliot from time to time. It was all Elliot’s fault. Ever since Aiden


    sat down, he won every hand.


    The three of them became fixtures, nothing more than things to keep Aidenpany.


    With Aiden''s winning streak, if they continued to y, the three of them won''t even have pants left to


    lose.


    Elliot was also anxious; Aiden was really angry.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    He just didn’t know if Aiden was angry at him or Isabel.


    If he was angry at Isabel, things might be easier to settle.


    However, even if he was angry at her, he vented all anger out on this mahjong table. They were


    unlucky.


    This was not good.


    An idea came to mind; Elliot stood up and said, "Lara, I’m going to the bathroom, you can y for me."


    "You... Your bets are too high, I... I can''t afford it." Previously, they yed small bets, and Elliot put a


    huge stack of money before her. When the stack was still there, she yed assuredly.


    However, the stack was nearly gone after a few rounds.


    The three of them were not polite at all and chipped her stack away, one by one.


    Now the stakes were even higher, and she would lose her starting bet if she yed.


    “Here, take it.” Elliot handed her all the cash he had on him, “If you lose, it’s my money; if you win, it’s


    your money”.


    "Oh, that''s great." Upon hearing this, Lara sat down contentedly, and started ying.


    Soon, Elliot came back, but he let Lara continue ying.


    There was finally a change of pace now.


    It was Aiden and Lara who alternated winning, while Samuel and Isaac still lost. They have been losing


    nonstop.


    Elliot knew that, even if Aiden was cruel, he wouldn''t win against a girl every hand.


    Samuel looked at Isaac, "Looks like the two of us need to start looking for a girlfriend."


    If they kept ying, they would lose the most.


    Lara was having a great time. She was going to make a fortune tonight.


    She didn''t know Aiden''s feelings at this time; to think that she could sit in the Grand Hyatt Club and


    y mahjong with rich folks like this, she said happily, "Mr. Howard, where’s Isabel?"


    "Cough..." Elliot gave a low cough, signaling Lara to change the subject quickly; otherwise, if she


    mentioned Isabel again, he was afraid Lara would start to lose too.


    Lara was still deciding which mahjong tile to y; she wanted to keep each piece in hand. She thought


    that Elliot''s cough was a signal to not y the tile she held, so she hurriedly withdrew it and threw out


    another tile, "Eight wan."


    "I win." Aiden showed his hand and beat Lara for the first time.


    "Elliot, it''s all your fault," Lara turned around and gave Elliot a shove, "What did you cough for?"


    He made her y the wrong card and lose the round.


    Elliot was at a loss whether to cry or tough, "Lara, your cell rang just now, maybe it’s thepany


    urging you to go pick up some guests?"


    "No, just spam texts." Lara continued to y; she was a fool if she was left to go to work now.


    There was a ton of money to be made ying mahjong with bosses. Right now, she seemed to have


    won more than 100,000 yuan.


    She had never seen so much cash in her life. Every time she looked at it, she felt ecstatic.


    "You had just drank so much tea, do you want to go..."


    "I don’t need to go to the bathroom. I''m winning this hand, I can''t leave now." She felt like she would


    lose her luck if she moved even an inch from her seat.


    Lara was quite superstitious on lucky streaks.


    Lara almost copsed when she helped Aiden iming a tile to match a triplet.


    "Oh, how did that happen again, I''m so sad." Lara paid the money frustratingly, and Aiden took it


    without any remorse.


    "This is the first time I’ve seen so much money in my life; Mr. Howard, are you going to win it all from


    me in the blink of an eye?" She looked at Samuel’s current situation, then looked at Isaac’s current


    situation. Lara then started to feel a sense of urgency.
