    There was another copy of the contract. Neera


    shoved one copy to him and made sure she kept


    her own copy, “Happy to cooperate with you.”


    Jean coc ked his brows and replied, “Same goes for


    you.”


    Then, Neera went back.


    lan, who was next to them, watched their


    interaction and could not help but feel that fate


    was at work here. The strange turns of events that


    connected Jean and Neera were indeed


    inexplicable.


    When he was informed to construct the contract, it


    He could not believe that his master was about to


    enter a contract marriage with Ms. Garcia!


    He also could not believe that the Garcia family


    attempted to perpetuate a fraud as if they were


    toying with the Beauvort family like fools!


    lan would never forgive them for this.


    Jean handed the contract to Richard for him to


    keep it.


    Then, he got up and said ton mechanically, “Get


    the car ready. We are headed to thepany.”


    lan immediately returned to his senses and got down to work.


    The following morning, Alfonso woke up and took


    his phone immediately. He was expecting the


    dowry and the contract that he was supposed to


    receive from the Beauvort family eagerly.


    Previously, the two families had made a pact. The


    following day of their marriage, the money and the


    contract would both be in effect.


    However, he kept waiting to no avail. He did not


    receive that huge sum of money nor did he receive


    any confirmation of a contract.


    The Beauvort family felt like they had disappeared into thin air. There was no news from them at all…


    Susan and Roxanne were panicking too. Their patience was running out.


    “Hubby, what’s going on with them? The Beauvort


    family has promised to wire us the money today.


    And also, those contracts! Don’t you see howte it


    is now? Why isn’t there any news at all? They are


    not trustworthy at all!”


    “That’s right, Dad. We really need that money! In


    order to make that happen, Mum lost his favorite


    ruby jewelry. She is expecting you to buy another


    one for her!”


    Alfonso was beyond irritated right now. He shot a


    re at them.


    “All you can think about is that darnn jewelry! Why


    are you asking me that as if I have the answer?


    Your guess is as good as mine!*


    His brows were furrowed, “From what I hear, the


    Beauvort always keeps their words. Never have I


    heard about them going back on their words…”


    Susan thought of one possibility and she could not


    help but feel worried.


    “Did they discover that Roze is not the one that they


    get? Could that be why they are angry?”


    Alfonso could not wait anymore. He decided to visit


    the Beauvort. He needed to hear it from Frederic first.


    However, the moment he reached, he was brought


    to Jean’s office.


    This was his first time meeting the infamous Mr.


    Beauvort!


    His impression of Jean was someone that was


    always bedridden, but now that he could get a


    good look at him, he found that he was wrong.


    Indeed, Jean looked a little palepared to


    ordinary men, but unlike people cri ppled by


    sickness, he was actually looking energetic.


    Before Jean even spoke a single word, Alfonso


    could already feel his immense aura. He felt like the air itself had gotten heavier.


    He swallowed a few times. He did not dare to start


    a ruckus, and he also decided to forget about the


    fact that he was supposed to be Jean’s


    “father-inw”. He whimpered, “M-Mr. Beauvort.”


    Jean nced at him coldly. He did not beat around


    the bushes, “Are you here to ask about the contract


    and the dowry?”


    Alfonso forced an ugly smile on his face as he


    admitted sheepishly, “T-That’s right. Seeing that it


    was already past our agreed time, I did not receive


    the dowry and contract. I just so happened to be


    around here, so I was thinking I could pay you a


    visit. Don’t worry, I am not trying to rush you by any


    means, after all, I am familiar with the reputation of


    the Beauvort family…”


    Jean could not stifle a sarcastic chuckle. His gaze


    was ever so frosty and menacing.


    “Alfonso, you really have some guys. I can’t believe


    that you dared to ask for money while you sent the


    wrong girl to us. Do you think you are that smart?


    That you can y us for fools?”


    Alfonso felt his heart sink.


    His worst nightmare hade true. The Beauvort


    family knew the truth!
