Chapter 51: Mr. Betances, please be careful who you are
Lucila wondered: “That voice sounds a bit familiar”.
Allyce did not respond and just pushed Lucila.
But Lucila doesn’t understand why Allyce is acting so strangely. She wanted to see the president of the L. K. Group; after all, he was very secretive and never appeared in public.
Just as they were pulling and pushing each other, the president of the L. K. Group had come up behind them: “Mrs. Betances, you are here for our association, how can you leave without telling me?
“Oh, my God! That’s a sexy sound. As Lucila spoke, she looked up to see what the mysterious president looked like. When she saw Severo, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the papers from her hands.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Although he had only met Severo once, he remembered him easily because of the particular circumstances of their encounter and his prominent facial features.
He pointed at Severo, then looked at Allyce and stammered, “He…. Isn’t he your husband?”
Severo stood a metre behind them and, with an appropriate smile, asked politely, “Miss Lucila, I need to discuss some personal matters with my wife before we can negotiate. Do you mind?”
“No, no, I don’t mind at all!” said Lucila with a smile.
He grabbed Allyce’s shirt to prevent her from slipping away and whispered in her ear: “Your husband happens to be the president of the L. K. Group. You must seize this opportunity. Even if you get divorced in the future, you will receive a huge alimony. Hurry up.
“Get lost…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was pushed away by Lucila. The ungrateful woman even closed the door politely and left without looking at her.
Hadn’t she said they were best friends for life? So she had just betrayed her friend?
Allyce staggered two steps before steadying herself. When she turned she almost collided with Severo’s chest.
Severo’s hands slipped around her waist and he gently pulled her into his arms, smiling, “Why are you throwing yourself at me, do you want to seduce me to make the partnership work?”
Allyce was speechless and had the impulse to kill him.
After the anger and hatred, all I felt now was disorientation.
She could not face their relationship again, nor could she accept his sudden change of identity.
She did not push him away. So naturally Severo tightened his grip and hugged her gently, as he had done in the past. Are you still angry with me?”
“No.” Allyce came to her senses and pushed him away. She took two steps back, ignoring him and looking at the ground.
Severo turned away from him and stared at her, “You may have vented some of your emotions. If you hadn’t, you wouldn’t have come to see me voluntarily.
“Oh, please. You know very well why I’m here.” He could not understand why the legendary financial tycoon was now behaving like a shameless scoundrel.
It was obvious that his plan was to lure her to L. K., but his words implied that she would come forward to meet him! That was his plan.
“Why would I bait you into coming here?” Severus leaned forward, staring at her with his glowing eyes.
His gaze was so aggressive that Allyce took an involuntary step back, a hint of shyness creeping across her face, but she quickly regained her composure.
He put on a businesslike expression: “I’m sorry, Mr. Betances. You are the president of the L. K. Group and it is not my intention to question your ideas. To be precise, I don’t have that capacity. If you don’t want to get to work today, we can postpone the negotiations”.
Severo didn’t like her attitude and frowned, staring at her for a few seconds before turning and walking towards the window.
“What if I put it off and I don’t want to talk about it either?
Allyce was surprised: “Then we can delay it further”.
“If you cannot facilitate a partnership between the Delahoz Group and L. K., do you think Casimiro will find a way to get the shares back?”
Severo turned his back on Allyce, his slender figure looking lonely and unearthly in the huge window.
Allyce bit her lip. The answer was obvious: Casimir would find a way to buy the shares. He had always been a man who looked for profit.
Allyce gazed at her slender figure and felt an overwhelming sense of loss.
Finally he asked the question he had always wanted to ask: “Severo, don’t you want to explain?
The tall figure apparently froze, and Allyce’s lips curved bitterly: he was not completely indifferent to her.
Severo turned around slowly. His half-closed eyes prevented him from seeing the expression in them. He was fascinated by her appearance: her prominent nose, deep-set eyes, thick eyebrows, thin lips and charming ears. Her silhouette was very well defined.
He was handsome and rich. But why had he deliberately approached her?
Until he found out who Severo was, Allyce could console himself with the thought that Severo was just a poor man who had just returned from abroad. He had accidentally walked into the box and lured someone in. Then he was drugged and accidentally slept with her. So, naturally, they get married.
However, this comforting assumption is proven wrong after learning that Aaron is the boss behind Kimdis and the president of the L. K. Group.
Severo accepted his scrutiny and, after a moment, said calmly, “It’s happened. I’m sorry I’ve confused you, and I don’t think an explanation will solve the problem, but haven’t I been good enough for you?
At these words, the corners of his mouth turned up in mockery: “So you want to make up for your deception by saying ‘you were good to me’? If you keep a dog and treat it well, it will always be faithful to you”.
“Allyce!” Severus pursed his lips and glared at her.
She always managed to make him angry so easily. Even Xabat complained that her temper was getting worse.
“You insidious liar!” Allyce lifted her chin and glared back at him.
Her adorable arrogance tickled him.
He tickled her fingers slyly as he gave her a solemn command: “Come here.
“For business?” If she didn’t want to talk to him about anything other than business.
Severo answered seriously: “Yes”.
Allyce approached him with suspicion, but he had forgotten what Severo really was: a sinister liar! As far as he was concerned, Severo was an unmitigated liar.
She approaches him, but Severo stops her. The two of them leaned to one side of the leather sofa, posing with Severo on top of Allyce. That made her uneasy.
He grabbed Severo’s collar nervously, his eyelashes fluttered and his voice trembled: “Mr. Betances, please don’t do this!
“What do you mean by that? We’re legally married, what can’t we do?” Severo leaned towards her ear and kissed her lobe softly.
Allyce shuddered, as if receiving an electric shock. Suddenly, she thought of the gunshot she had heard that day before she passed out, so she asked him urgently, “What did you do to Richie Nuncio that day …” .
“He is not dead. I broke his leg. After saying these words, he mocked her in a sinister voice: “You are with me and you think of other men.
