Chapter 5Â
The wedding car arrived downstairs at my house. No wedding sign on the door, no celebration, so quiet and secretive – not even look like a wedding.Â
Reporters gathered and began to discuss the situation.Â
“What’s going on with the Aaldorps today? They dare to disrespect Mr. Nolthen Eaton on his wedding day. Is it to retaliate against his previous broken engagement?”Â
Nolthen waited and waited, but no one showed up to greet him. His smile gradually faded.Â
“Calista, don’t be so shameless!”Â
After smoking, he crushed the butt with his foot.Â
Nolthen banged the door of my house.Â
The loud bangs made everyone present clearly feel the raging fire emanating from him.Â
Unable to bear the noise, the neighbors poked their heads out and cursed.Â
“Are you sick? Today is the marriage arrangement between the Rousselets and Aaldorps families. Calista was just picked up by the Rousselets’ wedding car!”Â
“What?”Â
He froze in his place, as if struck by lightning.Â
The inexplicable image of the wedding car he just encountered came to his mind and his face changed drastically.Â
He finally understood why he was uneasy now.Â
Because the person in the car just now was me.Â
“No, she can only marry me!”Â
An unprecedented panic swept over him and without a second thought, he got in his car, intending to chase me.Â
Serge glanced at the message on his phone anxious and stubbornly blocked his boss way in front of the car.Â
“Mr. Eaton, you can’t leave….”Â
Nolthen knew what he was going to say and interrupted him impatiently.Â
“Serge, move aside!”Â
“How about this? Spread the news of Calista and my marriage to the world. Let those ignorant people know that the Aaldorps’ arsenal will eventually be mine. This should give us a little time to delay.”Â
As he spoke, he had already started the car.Â
Puzzled, anxious, that Serge’s voice trembled.Â
“But, Sir, Ms. Aaldorp just spread the news about handing the arsenal to Mr. Ron Rousselet all over the internet. Now, those elites are rushing to please the Rousselets and unite to suppress the Eatons.”Â
“You siphoned off the Eaton Corporation’s funds to save the Hill Group, shattering our capitalÂ
chain. Now, not only are we bankrupt, but we’re also burdened with hundreds of billions in debt….”Â
Serge said something more, but Nolthen could only hear a ringing in his ears, nothing else.Â
His vision went black and he fainted in the driver’s seat.Â
When he woke up in the hospital, he was filled with anger and gritted his teeth, saying word by word.Â
“Serge, go to the detention center and bring Chris to see me. Calista is playing dirty tricks on me. ‘m going to make her regret going against me!”Â
Soon after his secretary left, Zane Baldwin came in for a ward round.Â
A good friend of Nolthen and also a doctor who performed uterine cleaning for me.Â
