My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Themis’ POV

I immediately warded off my room as soon as my phone rang. Good thing I found an excuse to leave her there. I really got surprised when she started acting strangely. I don’t think she was drunk, but why did she do that? She even tried to kiss me, what the hell?!

I kept on shaking my head as I sat down on the chair in the garden of the mansion.

This is really bad. I think Winter is doing everything just to dismantle my real identity. She’s still thinking she could just seduce me in order for her to know everything about me. And if I keep on avoiding her, I’m sure that would only make her even more eager to do everything just to succeed.

But what should I do?

I need her to keep hating me. Did I make a mistake in starting my plan?

“My granddaughter is trying to seduce you? Oh, God.”

“That’s right, Mr. Wesley. I think she really is doing everything just to know the truth.”

Mr. Wesley suddenly laughed, making me confused. “I told you, that grandchild of mine is just too smart. If she really wants to know something, she would do everything just to get it.”

“You’re really right, Mr. Wesley. But I need her to stop doing that.”

“You don’t have to stop her, Matthew. If she wants to do it, then let her be. For sure, she would eventually get tired of doing that.”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea, Mr. Wesley. I know it’s a stupid thing to say this, but I don’t want her to have feelings for me. If she keeps on doing that, then there would be a higher possibility that she might end up falling in love with me, right?”

He then nodded his head. The smile on his face didn’t fade. “You’re actually right. And I don’t want to have her heart broken. Then maybe what you should do is act as if you really want what she is doing. You could also try to make it look like you’re also seducing him. In that way, she would hate you so much and will probably hate you too.”

“I guess I really have to do that. Thank you so much for saying that, Mr. Wesley.”

“No problem. By the way, how is your plan going? Have you found anything already?”

I straightened my back. “I am currently observing ten people that might have something to do about the incident. I was done investigating the other five last week, and I have found out that they didn’t actually have anything to do about that twenty years ago.”

“It really is hard to investigate, huh?”

“It is. But I won’t stop. I won’t mind investigating every single person in this city or even in the whole world just to find the culprit.”

Mr. Wesley nodded his head. “Of course, you would. Just tell me if you need something or some people to help you.”

“You’re already helping me enough, Mr. Wesley.”

“Your grandpa was a great friend of mine. And so I wouldn’t mind giving my all just so you would find the people behind what happened to them.”

“You and our grandpa are really close, huh?”

I saw Summer as soon as I stepped out of Mr. Wesley’s office.

“Hey there, Summer.”

“What did you guys talk about?” she asked.

“I just went to ask him what he’s been doing and also to tell him about the current sales of the company.”

She then nodded her head. “I see. How’s the company doing?”

“The company still remains as the highest grossing in the country these past few months. And I think if we continue the strategy that we are using now, we would be able to maintain our reputation.”

“I knew you really are good at handling a company from the very start. Our parents shouldn’t have judged you.”

“That’s alright. I am just doing my best just to be able to pay back all the things that your grandfather did for me and to my family.”

“Want to have some coffee for a while?” she suddenly asked.

“Huh?”

“Come on. You are still my brother-in-law. We should hang out, too!”

And since it seems like I couldn’t say no to her, I just agreed to go to a coffee shop and have some coffee. After all, I should get all of their trust so they wouldn’t suspect me.

“You know what? You really are a smart man. I apologize if my family judged you offhandedly without even knowing who you really are and waiting for you to show what you really can do. But trust me, I never really had a single doubt the first time I saw you.”

I took a sip of my coffee. “I know, thank you for that. But actually, I think it’s a good thing that thy didn’t like me at first. At least that pushed me to do my best and shoe I’ve got so that I could prove them wrong.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I knew it. You know why I didn’t doubt you too?”

“Huh? Why?”

“Because our grandfather was the one who chose you. I don’t think he would let us marry someone who doesn’t have a good heart.”

I smiled. “You know what? I think you’re complimenting me too much. I am not that good person anyway. But I can promise to protect the reputation of you family as long as I can.”

“I know you will. And I am already thanking you for that.” Summer said with a smile on her face.

Winter’s POV

What the hell is wrong with that idiot? Pushing me like that as if he didn’t even care about what I just did?! All of the men are fighting just to get my attention, and a penniless man like him would just be the one to reject my kiss?! Who does he think he is?! Does he think I am begging for him to kiss me?!

“Looks like you’re already having a bad day early in the morning.” the other pain in the ass suddenly arrived and I couldn’t be any pissed.

“Don’t talk to me right now. My day’s already ruined, so don’t make curse at you.”

He laughed. “Oh, chill, honey. Maybe some fans would show up again and ask for some photos. You wouldn’t want them to think you’re ignoring them, right?”

I glared at him, then I just stood up because I might punch him in the face any moment if he doesn’t stop.

“Why do you look so mad early in the morning, your highness?”

“Haley, don’t add up. That moron right there already ruined my day, so don’t make me mad even more.”

“Fine, fine. But tell me, it has something to do with your husband? Did you do something last night just to prove that he likes you, but then you failed?”

“Shut up!”

“Where is Matthew?”

“He’s already inside his room, Miss Winter.” said the maid.

That man. I wouldn’t let him make me look like a fool.

I immediately went upstairs straight to Matthew’s room and started knocking, but he won’t open the door. I knocked again, but still, he didn’t open it.

“Matthew? Are you asleep already? Let me in!”

I kept on shouting outside his room, but then he kept on ignoring me until I got tired and went to my room instead. I also tried calling him, but he didn’t answer it. I was thinking about what he did yesterday and he will just ignore me like this? Does he really think he’s a very handsome man? Let’s see who wins in the end, you jerk. I won’t let you get away with this.
