Chapter 1603
Wesley had no idea what was going through Donny’s mind, as he abruptly tossed an envelope in front of his eyes, “We’re in hot water here, and you’re still messing around?”
“What did I do to get you all riled up?” Donny picked up the envelope, and upon opening it, he couldn’t help but smirk nonchalantly, “Just a fling, is it worth your getting all hot and bothered?”
Wesley, exasperated, grabbed a water glass and threw it at Donny, “You always mess around with girls, I can let that slide. But now when we’re in deep trouble, and you’re still knee-deep in your romantic escapades, even had your picture taken and sent to me.”
“Dad, did the Dixon Group send someone to tail me?” Donny finally caught on. The photo was of him and Florrie in the car. He hadn’t been back at the mansion for long after he’d had his fun with Florrie before the photo landed in his father’s hands.
Did that mean Steven had someone on him?
“Their people are tailing you and you don’t even know it. You’re useless.” Wesley looked at him with both contempt and helplessness.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was the only son, the Salazar family’s inheritance would never fall to this wastrel.e2
Maybe he knew that being the sole heir, sooner or later the Salazar Corporation would be his, so he didn’t bother to acquire any skills, preferring to while away his time with women.
“Sir, President Dixon has arrived. He’s at the door.” The butler’s respectful voice floated in from the entrance, interrupting the father-son conversation.
Wesley quickly composed himself, “President Dixon is here? Quickly, let him in. We can’t keep a guest of honor waiting at the door.”
“Yes.” The butler replied.
Soon, Steven’s tall and imposing figure appeared at the door.
Wesley hurried over to greet him, “Ah, Steven, it’s been a while. Butler, tell the kitchen to prepare some good food and wine. I’m going to have a few drinks with you today.”
Steven always had a smile on his face, making it hard to gauge his real emotions. But today, he wasn’t in the mood to play along. Anything involving his Hannah made him lose his smile.
He cut to the chase, “Wesley, you know very well why I’m here today. Let’s not beat around the bush.”
Wesley replied, “Steven, what are you saying? I watched you grow up, you’re like a son to me. Besides, you and Daniela were once engaged. If it weren’t for Daniela going abroad, you two would probably have a child by now. With a child, we would truly be family.”
“Wesley, let’s be clear. It was I who didn’t want to marry your daughter, not the other way around. I hope you won’t twist the truth.” Steven had never mentioned it before, thinking it unnecessary. But now he had to clear the air. He wanted everyone in the world who knew him to know that he had never had any feelings for anyone but Hannah.
He continued, “You Salazars value your reputation, so you’ve been telling everyone it was Daniela who rejected me and left me. While others may not know the truth, you do. Have you repeated the lie so much that you’ve come to believe it?”
Steven’s straightforwardness was like a slap in the face to the Salazar family.
Wesley’s face darkened, “Steven, our families have had a long relationship, and we see each other all the time. There’s no need to be so harsh.”
“I’m not here today to reminisce.” Steven tossed a document to Wesley, glanced at the time and said, “It’s nine o’clock now. I give you twelve hours. By nine tomorrow morning, I want an answer.” Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Now that all pretenses had been dropped, Wesley no longer felt the need to play nice, “Steven, our families have been friends for generations. Let’s not take things to extremes. It won’t do either of us any good.”
Steven smiled, “We could have coexisted peacefully, but your daughter had to set her sights on the one person she shouldn’t have.”
