In the private room, Isabella chatted with Liam while subtly probing about investment.
"You want to open an entertainment company?" Liam frowned. After investigating Isabella since the "normal" wedding ceremony, he found her outstanding during her time at the film academy. However, it seemed a bit too remarkable for her to want to start an entertainment company right after graduation.
"I don't know if Mr. Liam is interested in the entertainment industry?" Isabella asked.
"I? I haven't..."
Alexander sat next to Isabella, looking at Liam coldly.
Liam swallowed the words about to leave his mouth. Did Alexander really want to open an entertainment company just to please his wife?
What's going on?
Isabella, hearing Liam's words, happily explained her plan in detail. "Investment and shares will be split 70-30. You get 70, and I get 30."
Isabella knew she wasn't cut out to run the company. Liam would be handling most things, especially with the combined contribution from her and Grace, they could only come up with that much money.
Liam looked at Alexander's plate, which had three piles of carrot sticks. The first pile had three, the second had three, and the third had four.
Liam: ???
What does this mean?
Are you testing my wits?
Liam looked at the piles of carrot sticks in front of Alexander, thought for a moment, and tentatively said, "You take 30 percent, and I take 30 percent..."
Alexander picked up a carrot from the four in front of him and ate it.
Liam: ???
Are you testing my brainpower?
After thinking for a moment, Liam said, "And the remaining 40 percent... uh... Ale... I will invite a friend for me."
Alexander nodded.
Liam silently breathed a sigh of relief. This riddle game was getting too much!
"Liam's friend?" Isabella was somewhat suspicious. Was Liam's friend reliable?
Liam, knowing Alexander's intentions, responded smoothly, "My friend is excellent, and he's wealthy. He may be a bit foolish, but he has a lot of money."
Isabella looked at him with a strange expression. Did you just call someone else foolish and wealthy?
"However, I need to discuss this with him when I go back. Mrs. Isabella, if you're not in a hurry, I'll give you an answer in two days. Is that okay?"
Isabella had no problem with that. It was a big matter, and she needed to discuss it thoroughly.
At this moment, Isabella's phone rang. She took it out, looked at it, apologized to Liam, and went to the balcony to answer the call, ensuring Alexander's safety.
Liam saw this and took out his cell phone and sent a message to Alexander.
Alexander looked down and played with the Rubik's Cube and didn't pay any attention to Liam.
Liam glanced at Isabella and his foot under the table kicked Alexander like a thief.
Alexander raised his eyes and gave him an impatient look.
About as used to being stared at like that as he was, Liam didn't wimp out in the slightest and tapped his index finger on his cell phone screen.
Alexander took out his cell phone, glanced at it, and put it back down, with absolutely no intention of bothering Liam.
Liam: Hey! I have a bad temper!
Liam moved to Alexander's side and carefully said, "That ... I'm sure I'll take care of things today."
Alexander glanced at Isabella, his voice lowered, his voice icy, "I don't want to see that woman in Incrementa again."
Liam nodded, "Understood."
Alexander had never been a good-tempered person, after the accident, those who had explicitly and secretly scolded Alexander basically had accidents, only that they did it so stealthily that no one noticed that there was Alexander's figure behind that one thing.
"Your perspective is really bad!" Alexander looked on.
Liam: ...
He was at a disadvantage on this one! Couldn't refute it!
Liam could only choose to digress, "Emm, what's up with you? Why are you out today? And with Isabella? Did the sun come out of the west?"
Alexander: "Accompanying my wife, you wouldn't understand."
Liam: ????
What kind of stuff are you talking about?
"Are you serious?" Liam looks at Isabella with curiosity and surprise, this woman is quite capable.
In the balcony, Isabella was a little surprised to see Alexander and Liam talking.
But also did not stop, Alexander is not really a fool, he has the right to make friends, want to chat with anyone can, besides these two future is a good friend, in advance to know is nothing.
After dinner, Isabella brought Alexander back to the house, when passing by the main building, she looked down at Alexander, seeing his cold look, the pace of her feet could not help but be faster.
Alexander sensed this and was slightly stunned for a moment, and soon had more than a few smiles in his eyes.
It didn't take long for the two of them to return to the small courtyard before a servant came over to tell Isabella that Margaret was looking for her.
Isabella frowned as she glanced aside at Alexander, it couldn't be because of what happened out today, could it?
She thought about it and squatted down, "Alex, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back in a while, will you wait here for me?"
Alexander nodded, "Uh-huh."
Isabella then stood up and headed for the main floor.
Once inside, she saw Margaret sitting on the couch, not looking too good.
Isabella approached her politely, "Mrs. Bennett."
Margaret frowned, "What did you call me?"
Isabella smiled, "Mrs. Bennett, I've been calling you that since I was a child. I can't change it all of a sudden. I hope you don't mind."
Margaret felt Isabella's attitude was a bit strange. She thought Isabella might still be angry with Daniel and didn't dwell on the address too much.
"I heard you took Alex out today," Margaret said.
Sure enough, it was about this matter!
Isabella nodded indifferently, "Yes."
Margaret's expression was cold, as if they were discussing something unrelated to her nephew. She said, "Alex isn't well. What if he catches a cold outside? What will you do then?"
Isabella chuckled, "Mrs. Bennett, aren't you exaggerating a bit? Besides, I think Alex should get some sunlight. Staying in the courtyard all day isn't good for him."
"Do you understand? Are you a doctor?" Margaret's tone was not very pleasant, as if she had some reservations and didn't dare to be too harsh. "You know Alex's condition, right? The doctors told him to stay at home."
"But..."
"No 'buts'!" Margaret sternly interrupted Isabella, "For Alex's sake, if you ever want to take him out, you must have my permission. Today was the first time, so I'll let it go. In the future, without my consent, you are not allowed to take Alex out."
Isabella raised an eyebrow. Was this not punishment enough, or did she want to add house arrest to the mix? Did she have to report every time she wanted to go out?
Margaret's attitude was indeed strange. This family was no fun. It would be better to live somewhere else!
