Chapter 19 Mr. Riley! Curtis's Identity Was Exposed

"I..." Jacob explained calmly after a brief panic, "Since my sister is so shameless, I'll just tell you the truth. Logan's mother doesn't want Adeline at all. Therefore, our family asks Viola to proceed with the marriage engagement instead. This is the decision of the family!"

Heather nodded and said, "Okay, I don't care about the decision of your family."

Jacob felt relieved, but Heather's calm voice was heard again.

"But let me ask you. Did you set Adeline up and send her to Mr. Baker?"

"I..." Jacob looked awkward. He walked towards Heather, gently held her hands, and explained, "Baby, this matter is complicated. Besides, Adeline is not a good person."

As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at Curtis, "Look! She doesn't even spare the crippled one and she climbed onto his bed."

"She always wanted to get married very badly and leave the family."

"Think about it. If you are comparing these two, isn't marrying Mr. Baker better than this person who is in a wheelchair?"

"She will become the wife of the director if she gets married to Mr. Baker!"

Heather's expression changed. She looked at Jacob in shock and said, "That is to say, your family wants Viola to marry Logan instead of Adeline. But Adeline isn't willing to do so, so you set her up and make her sleep with Mr. Baker. You want to destroy her. Is that what you were saying?"

Jacob looked a little embarrassed. After all, it wasn't something glorious, but he still wanted to explain further on it.

"Baby, not everyone is as good as you. Adeline is an unlucky person. That's why we did that. We wouldn't treat you like that. As long as you get married to me, I guarantee that the family will treasure you as much as they could..."

Jacob still looked like he wanted to explain something, but Heather interrupted him, "Jacob, let me ask you one last question. Did you participate in the plan to set Adeline up? Yes or no?"

"Yes." Jacob gritted his teeth and responded, "But this matter is supposed to turn out to be something good! Mr. Baker wants to marry Adeline while Adeline is the class teacher of Mr. Baker's children. After getting married, Adeline will be the wife of the director, and she can tutor Mr. Baker's children more closely. She will live a good life. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

Before Jacob finished speaking, Heather slapped him on his face.

There was a loud snap, which made Jacob's eardrums buzz.

Jacob covered his face which was burning hot, and he looked at Heather in disbelief, "Baby?"

"Don't call me that!" Heather raised her hand to stop him, and explained in disgust, "I feel disgusted whenever I see a scumbag! If you call me with that again, I'm going to throw up!"

She didn't like that engagement at all, and she didn't think of agreeing to it. She just agreed to spend time with him to see whether it was okay for them to get along.

During the time they were together, Jacob obeyed her and was extremely considerate. Even if she didn't feel love for Jacob, she couldn't find a single fault in him.

But now she suddenly knew his true colors. She felt furious about being used and deceived.

"Jacob, do you think that I'm stupid? I've met Adeline before this, and I know her."

"She works hard and always tries to do her best. She is much better than Viola, who you think is the treasure in your family!"

Jacob couldn't hear anyone criticize his sister, and subconsciously yelled, "You are not allowed to make such comments on Viola!"

After yelling, he regretted it. That engagement was extremely important to him, and it was also a bonus for his father to value him better. Therefore, he coaxed Heather in a gentle voice.

"Baby, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. Listen to me. Let's not quarrel for someone like Adeline and her crippled husband, okay?" C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Heather sneered and pushed him away, "It seems that you still don't know what's your mistake?"

"Well, let's not talk about what a person Adeline is. Even if she wants to climb into someone's bed, it is her own business!"

"That's her body and she can make her own decision! But you make decisions for her. You set her up! That's a crime!"

"Jacob, as an older brother, you gave her away to a divorced man who is in his late 50s, and claiming that she will have a good life!"

"Do you have a fucking conscience? What kind of skewed values you are having?"

Heather got angrier. She kicked Jacob's calf fiercely and continued, "Taking Viola who is a sham as a treasure, aren't you all crazy?"

Jacob was so painful till he retracted his leg and he almost fell. But he still yelled angrily, "Heather, you are not allowed to say something like that about Viola! Viola is so much better than Adeline!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man's sonorous voice was heard from not far away.

"What's so happening?"

Jacob looked in the direction of the voice, and he saw Mr. Roti, who was wearing a suit and walking over solemnly.

Mr. Roti immediately looked at his wife and daughter, and asked "What happened?"

Mrs. Roti was still in shock. She regained her senses and explained, "Heather wants to break off the engagement with the Burton family."

As Mrs. Roti was saying that, she looked at Jacob disappointedly. She shook her head and said with regret, "Jacob, I always like you a lot, and I have long regarded you as my son."

"I've also heard about the project that you are trying to get. I even said a few words for you at the tea party to other members yesterday."

"I didn't expect you to do such a shameless thing. You let me down!"

As soon as Mrs. Roti finished speaking, Jacob's expression immediately changed.

He didn't expect Mrs. Roti would help him to make the connection.

He knew that his marriage was going to help him!

Jacob quickly coaxed Mrs. Roti, "Mrs. Roti, I made a mistake. I was forced by my family to do so. Please forgive me this time. I promise I will never do it again."

Mrs. Roti shook her head in disappointment and said, "The family forced you? So you will do whenever your family forces you to? Don't you have your own values and your own principles of life?"

Seeing that he failed to coax Mrs. Roti, Jacob looked anxiously at Mr. Roti and said, "Mr. Roti, trust me! I am sincere toward Heather! Both of our families are strong. If we work as alliances, our businesses will be brought to another level in the future."

Mr. Roti knew what he was trying to say. But when he heard that, he couldn't help but sneer, "I, Peter Roti, will never sell my daughter for glory! I don't need to rely on my daughter's marriage to bring anything to the family! All I want is for her to be happy!"

"That would be me! I am sure that I can make Heather happy!" Jacob anxiously stepped forward to explain. Then, he pointed to Curtis behind him and said, "Mr. Roti, listen to me. These two people are here to cause chaos today. Heather and Mrs. Roti misunderstood me. I can explain it. We aren't going to ruin the relationship between our families because of them, right? One of them is even a cripple!"

Mr. Roti subconsciously looked in the direction that Jacob was pointing, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Mr. Riley!"

Mr. Roti exclaimed and his heart almost jumped out of his throat in fright.

He was 5.8 feet tall and he quickly bowed half his body to greet Curtis with the fear that Curtis might punish him for his negligence just now.

"Mr. Riley, I'm really sorry. I was blocked by this fellow just now, and I didn't see you. I didn't mean to be rude without greeting you."

Curtis responded lightly with a "hmm".

Jacob was shocked when he saw Mr. Roti, who used to direct all the big shots in business, politely and voluntarily walk towards the cripple person with his body bowed.

"Mr... Mr. Roti, what...what did you call this cripple just now?"
