Aggressive Wife

Chapter 97

Jerry's conversation with Angie over the phone reached Bruno and Suzette because Angie's speakerphone was on. Bruno's face instantly softened as he saw hope on the horizon for Grant Corporation.

They gathered around Angie as soon as she hung up the phone. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Oh, my darling daughter, you are so capable! This time, our family will rely on you!" Bruno was overjoyed. As he stood in front of Angie, he no longer saw her as a bitch, but as his precious baby!

Angie was very proud of herself at the time, and she couldn't help but look down on her own father's groveling expression. If it weren't for her lack of experience due to her youth, she would prefer not to be associated with a guy like Bruno, who was only interested in pleasing the rich and powerful.

Angie finally spoke with pride after being flattered for a while. "The Grant family's future success depends entirely on me, Dad, as you have seen. Jerry invested after I told him to. If I do not wish..."

"How can you not want it? You wretched girl! Will you be happy only after our family has been destroyed?" When he heard that, Bruno exploded in rage and interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

As soon as those words were spoken, it became clear that his current good temper was a ruse.

If Angie really refused to convince Jerry to invest in the Grant family, Bruno would probably beat her to death!

That was something that Angie had long realized.

She had been disheartened for a long time!

Angie was unconcerned by what he said and continued to finish her sentence. "If I do not want Jerry to invest, he will not invest. This is a fact. So, Dad, if you want the investment money, you can't expect me to help you for free."

"What do you mean? So you dare to talk back now, huh? You want to talk terms with me, right?" Bruno was filled with rage as he watched Angie behave like a despicable person who had just become wealthy.

He didn't dare to do anything to Angie right now, so he had no choice but to hold back.

"That's correct. Dad, if you want my assistance, you must give me fifteen percent of the Grant Corporation's stock. Otherwise, I'll be on my own with Jerry. That way, I'll never have to go hungry!"

"Fifteen percent of the stock? You must be dreaming, Angie Grant. What are you thinking? That is not possible!" Bruno jumped out of his seat in a fit of rage. He would have slapped Angie in the face if Suzette hadn't intervened.

Angie repeatedly moved backward because she was so terrified. The memory of being beaten up caused her to protect herself reflexively.

"I have something to say to you, Bruno. Angie is already an adult. You can't just beat her up whenever you want!"

"She's an ingrate. I'm not allowed to beat her up? Take note of what she just said. I'm not dead yet, and she's already after my assets? She's a shameless bitch! You are to blame for the Grant family's destruction!"

Bruno was so enraged that he began speaking without careful diction.

"Hmph! I'm a bitch. Then don't use this bitch to get some investment capital. If Dad disagrees, then forget about it. Besides, I'm enjoying my life with Jerry right now. As for whether Jerry acknowledges you as his father-in-law, nobody knows! Angie boldly argued her way back after noticing Suzette was restraining Bruno.

She had recently realized that, whether it was her own father or those men who only wanted to sleep with her, none of them would always treat her well. The only way she could ensure a good life and not be trampled on would be to have an ace up her sleeve.

Otherwise, she would never be able to reclaim her life!

Bruno was temporarily rendered speechless by Angie's determination.

Although he despised Angie's ungrateful actions, he did not want to lose Jerry, who was currently his biggest supporter.

The one-month deadline was approaching quickly. The Grant family would be finished if the Shallow Bay development project did not begin soon.

"Bruno, all we have now is Angie to turn our lives around. From what I can tell, there's no harm in giving Angie some stock now. After all, Angie is the only way we can get our investment funds right now!"

Suzette took advantage of the fact that Bruno had calmed down to lobby, and at the same time, she gave Angie a wink.

Immediately understanding, Angie stood up and spoke gently, "I'm not to blame for thinking about myself, Dad. I'm traumatized as a result of your beating. If I don't have some money on hand, I won't be able to afford even a meal if you decide to kick me out one day. Therefore, kindly think of me!"

Bruno's rage subsided a little when he realized Angie had given him a way out of an awful situation.

"I promise you that I will give you ten percent of the stock if you can secure a hundred-million-dollar investment. Don't bother thinking about it if you can't get it!" Bruno proposed some negotiating terms.

Angie knew he would not agree to her terms quickly, but ten percent was not a small sum, so she "reluctantly" agreed.

She then cheerfully went upstairs to get dressed and ready to go out.

Bruno was still considering going back on his words after the investment funds were credited and completely denying Angie. He had no idea Angie would show up with a share transfer agreement after she had finished getting dressed.

She stared at him as she made him sign the agreement.

When Bruno signed the agreement, he felt humiliated and distraught. He had no choice but to sign it, though.

"Thank you, Dad. I will certainly help our family in obtaining the investment fund!" Angie happily tucked the contract away and walked out in high heels.

Bruno smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces after Angie left!

"Bitch!"

…

Madeline slept for a long time. Surprisingly, she slept soundly. She slept through the night trouble-free and experienced no nightmares. She even had a wonderful dream. She had a dream that the three of them were a happy family living happily together.

She was a little reluctant to open her eyes when she awoke.

That was until she realized the man from her dream was right before her eyes…

Madeline had the impression that she was still dreaming.

"Are you awake? Do you feel any better now?" The deep and magnetic voice had a tenderness to it, and his eyes were so deep as if there was a vast ocean in them.

"Noah?"

"What are you doing in my bed?"

Madeline quickly realized she wasn't dreaming and sat up in a panic!

This jerk has learned to crawl into her bed?

Where are his values?

"I'm sorry. Colt and I were sitting on the bed to accompany you, but we fell asleep by accident." Noah, a courteous gentleman, hurriedly rose, looking slightly embarrassed.

Those who didn't know thought he'd "accidentally" fallen asleep on the bed due to his shy demeanor.

Madeline, on the other hand, was not convinced!

Hang on. Did he say he and Colt?

Colt is here too?

Thomas was still lying in Madeline's arms when she suddenly realized what was happening.

Thomas rubbed his eyes and sat up as if he had sensed her awakening. He said, "M-Auntie, you're awake. Do you still feel ill?"

"Don't worry, Colt. I'm fine..." Madeline stroked his soft hair, panicked!

He-he-he! She had been sick and was in bed with that little tyke as well. She was the one who was overthinking things. How embarrassing!

Madeline desired to bury herself in a hole!
