Falling for My Contractual Wife

Casper looked at Brian with a disappointed expression, pointing at him. "How could you make such a mistake? You're just like your father, obsessed with women!"

Brian frowned unhappily. "Grandpa, it's fine for you to lecture me, but it's none of others' business."

"Just look at yourself, still defending that woman! What's so good about her? I heard you spent a lot of money on her before! And what did she give you in return?" Casper said.

Brian furrowed his brows tightly, his voice low. "I've followed your instructions and gone on blind dates. What else do you want?

"Should I follow all your arrangements? What's your next step? Make Nelson replace me as the leader of the Francis Group?"

"You!" Casper sighed heavily.

Even though she knew nothing would happen between Brian and Marley, Grace still felt aggrieved.

So, the two of them were in a deadlock again.

Nelson sat in his office, smoking one cigarette after another.

Nelson lifted his eyelids to look at him, saying, "Is it bothering you?"

The assistant glanced around the room and chuckled, "This office is indeed a bit small, even the smell of smoke can't dissipate. Brian's office probably won't be like this.

The assistant, who had been working with Nelson for years, understood what Nelson was thinking.

"Mr. Nelson, rest assured. In the near future, that office will be yours," his assistant said.

Nelson chuckled, his eyes narrowing slightly, "What a pity."

"What do you mean?" the assistant asked.noveldrama

Nelson took a deep breath and said, "Casper sees me as an outsider from the bottom of his heart!"

"But it's fine. I know what Brian's weakness is!" Nelson said.

After a while, he gestured to his assistant and whispered something in his ear.

Grace had been distraught for the past two days. In the afternoon, she received a call from Jasmine.

"Grace, I sprained my ankle. Are you free to pick up the child?" Jasmine said.
