Chapter 24: Do You Want to Remarry?
Gail frowned. But in the next second, her face was replaced with a decent and gentle smile. She withdrew her hand embarrassingly.
“Nina, Gail is concerned about you,” Jenny made a sound to save Gail.
She said to Nina, “Why don’t you give me a hug?”
Nina shook her head without thinking. When Jason came over, she quickly stretched out her hands to her dad, ‘I want Dad to hug me.’
Jason looked down at her. He couldn’t refuse her. The man hugged Nina into his arms, frowned, and said to the two uninvited guests, “I will take care of her at night. You can go back.”
After hearing what he said, Jenny immediately became unhappy, “Why did you say? How can I rest assured especially at night? This is my precious granddaughter. I will go back later.”
While speaking of this, she glanced at Gail next to her. Jenny didn’t know what do. Her face was a little bad, and she said, “Gail will stay here too.”
Gail was secretly happy, and nodded obediently. Meanwhile, Jason frowned. He was too lazy to say anything. The man then went upstairs with Nina in his arms. and reported, “Aletta, someone is looking for you. They came early in the morning. They are waiting in the reception. room now.”
“Who is it?” Aletta was a little puzzled.
When she returned to America this time, she did not contact anyone except Flora. With puzzled thoughts, Aletta went to the reception room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a familiar face. It was the old housekeeper of Donovan Hill.
“Barret?” Aletta was a little surprised.
When the old housekeeper saw Aletta, he couldn’t even recognize her immediately. The difference was really too huge.
However, Barret quickly put on a friendly smile and shouted respectfully, “Young Madam, long time no see.”
“I haven’t seen you for a long time,” Aletta responded politely to the old housekeeper.
“Barret, I’m not a member of the Hill Family anymore. So, don’t call me that. If you don’t mind, call me Ms. Rogers.”
Barret hesitated for a while and said, “It’s better to call you Ms. Alta.”
Aletta had no objection. She just asked, “You came to see me? What’s the matter?”
“It was Mr. Hill who asked me to come here. He heard that you were returning to America, and wanted to invite you back to the Hill Villa.”
The old housekeeper conveyed Donovan’s instructions to Aletta, “He has not been in good health all these years, but he has always talked about you. He misses you very much and worries that you are not doing well outside.”
Aletta didn’t speak. Actually, she didn’t want to have anything to do with the Hill Family anymore. However, upon thinking of that wise and kind old man, her heart was somewhat touched.
Back then, during the two years of marriage with Jason, it was only Donovan who really loved her as his granddaughter-in-law. Whenever Jenny was picky and tried to find her fault, he would speak for Aletta. Sadly, that marriage ended too hastily. So, Aletta couldn’t say goodbye to Donovan properly.
Aletta had mixed feelings in her heart. In the end, she agreed, “Okay, I will go. Please send my greetings to Mr. Hill.”
Barret got the reply. With a smile on his face, he said truthfully, “Okay, Miss Alta. If you can come, he will be very happy.”
“Go ahead. Thank you as well.”
After finished, Barret hurriedly bid farewell and left. Upon seeing that the person left, Aletta collected her thoughts and went back to the office. After finishing all the work quickly, she caught a glimpse of the document that was pressed at the bottom. It was the proposal that Jason came over to give that day.
Aletta hesitated for a moment. Afterward, she reached out to bring the planning book, and carefully read it. After reading them one by one, Aletta admitted that she was a little moved. The conditions offered by that man were very generous. It was simply an unconditional channel in disguise.
‘I don’t know. I thought he was here to ‘help the poor’, after reading the last line, Aletta was almost completely shaken.
However, in the end, reason prevailed. She didn’t forget the additional conditions that Jason had offered. Upon thinking of this, the woman cruelly closed the proposal and pressed the internal line, “Annie, come in.”
Annie opened the door and walked in after a while, “Aletta, how can I help you?”
“Reject this cooperation for me,” Aletta threw the proposal to her.
Annie glanced at it and immediately understood. She asked, “Do you need to explain the reason for the rejection to the other party?”
“No need to do that. The reason is that we simply don’t want to cooperate,” Her tone was slightly cold.
Annie felt that Aletta seemed unhappy. But, she didn’t ask any further questions. The woman immediately nodded and agreed, “Okay, I’ll do it now.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Aletta watched Annie leave, and her gaze became a little colder. At the beginning, Gail used this reason to frame her. So, let her bear the infamy for no reason and suffered countless grievances as well as pains.
Jason wanted to use this as a bargaining chip, but he was dreaming. How good were the conditions? If Aletta didn’t want it, who could force her?

At Hill Villa.
As soon as Jason put his daughter to sleep and went to the study, Eaton came in to report, “Sir, the people from the ZL, Company just called and returned our proposal. It had indicated that it was Aletta.”
When Jason heard this, his face turned cold. He had always. been impatient. His style of acting was always swift and decisive. Now, for the sake of Aletta several times and at the expense of lowering his own value, Jason took the initiative to invite cooperation. The man even made the biggest concession on the contract. All of that had made him lose enough face. Unexpectedly, the other party refused to buy it over and over again.
“What reason?” Jason rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little irritable.
Eaton hesitated for a while, and answered, “They didn’t say anything.”
Jason frowned. When he was just about to speak, the door of his office was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
His mother came in from the outside slowly. She said to Jason, “Jason, I have something to talk to you about.”
The man coldly said, “What’s the matter?”
Jenny didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly, “I heard that Aletta is back. Is this true?”
Jason frowned even deeper and looked at his mother coldly, “You came today mainly for this matter, right?”
Taking care of Nina during the night was just an excuse. Jenny deliberately did not want to leave only for this moment.
And Jenny didn’t deny it either, “So what? Can’t I still ask? How could Aletta have the gut to come back? And you…”
She looked at her son, “That night, someone saw you taking Aletta. What do you mean? You are divorced. What are you doing with her? Don’t tell me that you still want to remarry that vicious woman?”
When Jason heard the repeated questioning, his face became colder. He didn’t answer, but he didn’t deny it either.
Jenny thought what she said was right. So, her anger immediately came up. She said in a strict voice, “I tell you. Don’t even think about it. Since the beginning, that vicious woman has just hurt Gail and abandoned her two children cruelly. She is a cold-hearted woman. Do you think she is worthy to be with you and become a member of the Hill Family?”
