Mommy,We Got a Husband

Chapter 140 Accompany me Tonight



"Griffon, don't you think you're being too light-hearted about this?" Since Griffon's words lacked sincerity, Alaric didn't need to be so polite either.

"If you truly cared about me, you wouldn't tell such lies. The lies were only for Orion. Now that I have no results with Orion, you are afraid she will continue to bear an undeserved identity, which will affect her future. That's why you are so eager to clear things up. Griffon, you are indeed a father who loves your daughter!" Alaric mocked.

Upon hearing this, Griffon coldly chuckled, "Alaric, I understand that you are emotional right now, but it's the Nash family that has always been at a disadvantage in this matter. When Mrs. Marigold found a woman to bear your child, it wasn't until Caspian was born that the Nash family found out. Unfortunately, that woman had complications during childbirth and passed away."

"Orion stood up and claimed that Caspian was hers because she loved you so much, Alaric. At that time, Orion was at the peak of her career. You know how cruel the entertainment industry can be, especially for an actress during those crucial years. When Orion made that choice while her career was thriving, you can imagine how much she loved you. At that time, all of us had good fantasies, thinking that you, Orion, and Caspian could be happy together forever. Who would have thought this situation would arise?"

Alaric retorted, "So all of this is the fault of the Knight family. Mrs. Marigold shouldn't have gone behind the Nash family's back to find a woman to bear my child, and I shouldn't have disappointed Orion, right?" "Alaric, you're getting emotional with these words. You know that I didn't mean it that way. Now that you and Orion have no future together, let's just clarify things and move on. Isn't that better?" Griffon smiled. "We can clarify things, and I also want to clarify. Is it hard for Orion to give me a heads-up before clarifying?"

Orion's sudden clarification caught everyone off guard, and the news immediately exploded, with all sorts of online attacks resembling cyberbullying targeting Alaric and Galatea.

Orion managed to clear her name completely, portraying herself as a great, innocent and kind-hearted figure, while Alaric and Galatea were painted as a scoundrel and a mistress. Absolutely ridiculous!

"Didn't Mrs. Marigold tell you?" Griffon pretended to be innocent. "I mentioned this matter to Mrs. Marigold before, and she agreed to let Orion clarify things. I didn't expect Mrs. Marigold didn't inform you." Since childhood, Griffon had been a close friend of Alaric's father, and Alaric respected Griffon as a father. However, after all these years, Alaric never realized that Griffon was such a selfish and cunning person.

"Griffon, you're right. Since Orion and I have no future together, let's each go our separate ways." Alaric continued. "If we're cutting ties, let's do it thoroughly. The economic cooperation between the Knight family and the Nash family will be terminated directly. When I return to the company, I will instruct the finance department to settle everything, withdrawing investments where necessary and selling off shares."

"Alaric, the economic cooperation between the Knight family and the Nash family has lasted for many years. While it's not always a case of prospering together, suffering together. Your actions will harm both the Knight family and the Nash family. Don't be so ruthless!" Griffon said angrily.

"This is what you wanted, Griffon." Alaric smiled. "You care about me, so I should also consider your interests. By completely separating the economic ties between the Knight family and the Nash family, we can prevent any further losses on your part."

Griffon's expression now was particularly unpleasant. He never expected Alaric to act so decisively.

"Fine, since you have said so, I have nothing more to say." Griffon stated, "I will immediately instruct the finance department to settle everything." "Good." Alaric replied cheerfully.

"It seems Alaric is here." At this moment, Mrs. Ravenna, supported by a servant, trembled down the stairs. "Griffon and Alaric, are you two arguing?" "Mom, why are you out of bed?" Orion hurried forward and also helped Mrs. Ravenna.

"I've been lying down these days, and even though I wasn't sick, lying down made me ill. I've been feeling much better since Galatea came to see me." Mrs. Ravenna looked at Alaric and said, "Alaric, didn't Galatea come with you?" Seeing Mrs. Ravenna still unaware of what had happened, they had deceived her together. Alaric was also upset about it, but seeing Mrs. Ravenna's weak state at the moment, his discomfort immediately overcame his anger, and he quickly stepped forward to support Mrs. Ravenna.

"Galatea is busy, so I came alone." Alaric replied.

"Next time, bring Galatea with you. I enjoy talking to Galatea now." Mrs. Ravenna smiled.

"Okay."

"What happened just now? I couldn't quite hear what you and Griffon were discussing, but it seemed like you were about to argue."

"No." Alaric quickly replied, "I was just discussing business matters with Griffon."

"As long as there's no argument," Mrs. Ravenna patted Alaric's hand, saying, "Although things didn't work out between you and Orion, the relationship between the Knight family and the Nash family has been strong for so many years. Don't let your issues with Orion cause a rift."

At this point, Alaric also felt uneasy. He didn't want to create a divide, especially since the Knight family and the Nash family were long-time allies.

But sometimes, different paths must be taken.

"Okay." It was a sight that tormented Alaric, watching Mrs. Ravenna in such a state, embroiled in deception with the Nash family, an act that tormented him more. Rapidly, he fabricated an excuse. "Mrs. Ravenna, some businesses require my attention at the office. I must take my leave."

"Indeed, work is important." she responded.

"Take care of yourself." he implored, "I will come to visit you when time permits."

"Okay, I shall maintain my well-being. Hurry to your work." Mrs. Ravenna urged him forth.

Alaric felt a mix of emotions. After leaving the Nash family, he drove for a while before stopping.

Alaric felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

The saying is true: human growth often involves losing things. Those feelings and affections he once believed in now seemed fragile.

Perhaps Alaric felt a strong sense of loss.

Alaric took out his phone and called Galatea, saying only one thing. "Accompany me tonight."
