Ex-husband Goes Money Comes by Yvone Zabielski novel Chapter 396

Chapter 396 Will You Marry Me?

“Someone else?”

Hearing her words, Ormand sneered and looked at her sharply and sarcastically. “Are you recommending yourself? Who are you again?”

Todd echoed, “One should know their limits.”

Max’s expression turned completely cold.

“Mr. Hobson, I hope you will still stick to your choice when everyone knows that Viola is an illegitimate daughter, and you are facing the crisis of the Hobson Group’s plummeting stock prices.”

With a smile in her beautiful eyes, Max sneered arrogantly and turned to leave.

Looking at her back as she got into the car, Todd spat and gnashed his teeth. “If I didn’t know better, I would have thought that she wasn’t an illegitimate daughter!

“She got into me! What’s she got to be proud of? Who gave her the nerve?

“Leia is only nineteen years old, but those tricks Leia has got only make her adorable.

On the contrary, Max makes me sick!” Todd was indignant and cursed for a long time, yet he could not calm down.

Ormand didn’t stop Todd. Ormand said,

‘‘Take care of Viola and Layne’s paternity test. Make sure it’s done properly.”

“Sure thing. Mr. Hobson, I got it!”

Todd nodded and immediately entered the visiting room.

After giving the order, Ormand carefully carried Viola to the back seat of the car.

Todd had gone to handle the matter, and to pick up Viola this time, Ormand had specially brought the driver together with him, so that he didn’t need to drive now.

On the way, Ormand held Viola in his arms while using his laptop. It looked like he was dealing with the company’s affairs.

The moment Viola got in the car, she opened her eyes.

She leaned quietly in Ormand’s arms and looked out of the window with cold eyes. She was lost in her thoughts.

At such a critical juncture, she couldn’t fall asleep at all, but she didn’t bother to confront Max and listen to Max’s sarcasm.

Viola simply let Ormand handle it.

When they arrived at the garage of the Hobson’s place, Ormand was about to carry

Viola out of the car. Only then did he realize that she was awake the whole time.

“How long have you been awake? Was it uncomfortable for you to sleep, because I was handling business?” he asked, gently stroking her nose with his finger.

“It was alright. I just woke up,” Viola smiled.

Ormand did not say anything. He carried her out of the car steadily and held her tightly in his arms. Then they went back to Viorin.

As they were passing through the winding alleys of the Hobson’s place, Viola stared at his face.

She hesitated for a long time before asking, “Orin, if … if I am not the daughter of the McGraw family, our engagement is for naught. Once it becomes known to the entire country, and everyone knows that you, the head of the Hobson Group, married the daughter of a prisoner, an illegitimate daughter who is just a nobody, the Hobson Group will suffer great losses, and you may lose billions of dollars overnight. Even so, you are still willing to marry me?”

Ormand listened quietly. He looked ahead and walked with full concentration. He did not lower his head to look at her, nor did he immediately answer her question.

“Viola, let’s go back. I have a gift for you.”

He didn’t answer her. Viola’s heart sank.

She thought, instead of the daughter of the McGraw family, I will be an illegitimate kid whose father is a prisoner.

The difference is unbelievably huge. Even Ormand would hesitate…

I should be able to get it.

But I still feel so disappointed and sad.

It has only been a day. Yet within a day, everyone turns their backs on me, and I’m all alone.

Even Ormand fails to be the man I can rely on when it comes to things this big. I have no one to trust but myself. I am all I have to win everything back.
