Aggresive Wife

Wayne did not dare debate with him, so he texted Noah while preparing for the meeting.

Shortly, Noah called Lucas.

"Follow expediency; you'll preside over the meeting for the time being."

"It's against the rules. I'm just the managing director." Lucas was a strict and rule-abiding person; he would never do what he should not.

"O-Oh, you've just been promoted to executive president of the Quinton Corporation."

"The board of directors should deliberate and decide on the appointment of the executive president."

"Lucas, I'm the owner and the one with sole power over the company; I can appoint you as I wish. Stop living by the rules all day long; human beings are full of emotions."

Noah received Thomas's text informing him that he was going to prepare a big surprise for Mommy, and he also saw Mackenzie being picked up by Rowan from the surveillance; he was finally calmed down.

Otherwise, he would not be in the mood to talk so much with Lucas.

"It's funny to hear such words from the Demon King of Imperia." Lucas was not Wayne; he would express his thoughts directly.

Noah knew well about his personality, so he was not angry with him.

"Well, I'm more humane than I ever was. Lucas, it's time for you to start a family. Don't live like a robot."

"Mr. Quincy, you don't have to worry about me." Lucas hung up the phone, he was curious if marriage could really change a person.

Noah used to be calm and rational, so he liked to work with him.

However, he seemed to be happy and talkative then. And he was easily affected by emotions when doing things. He did not want to be like him.

"Mr. Lucas, the meeting documents are ready." The secretary put a document in front of him.

Lucas adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and took a closer look at his secretary for the first time.

His secretary was getting uncomfortable and uneasy under his stare; she was wondering what she had done wrong.

Lucas suddenly asked, "Ms. Parker, are you married?"

"No." She was in doubt, but she maintained her calm.

Being composed, calm, and rational in times of crisis. These are the reasons I'm being chosen as Mr. Lucas's secretary.

"Why aren't you married?" Lucas continued to ask.

Mia resisted the urge to roll her eyes. You're the one who forbids me to get married and have children in five years if I want to work for you.

I didn't even dare to go on a date! And now you're asking, "Why am I not married?"

"There are too many meaningless and trivial things in marriage. I don't want to waste my time on all these. So, I never thought of marrying before."

How does this answer sound? Do you want to give me a raise?

"Great minds think alike." Lucas agreed and nodded. He walked away with the meeting document.

Mia took a deep breath, kept her temper in check, and followed him with a decent smile.

In the Sunshine Villa, Mackenzie and Annalise stared at each other for a good ten seconds. Annalise was about to talk when Mackenzie started to cry.

"Waa… Uncle Rowan, I'm scared." She opened her arms for Rowan's hug.

Rowan quickly picked her up and patted her on the back to comfort her.

He glanced at Annalise in irritation, and he said, "Anna, don't startle her."

Annalise was totally speechless; she then asked, "Ro, where did you find her?"

She disliked this little girl, just like bitchy Madeline's son.

"She's my friend's kid. She'll live here for a while. You have to get along well with her." Rowan did not tell Annalise that Mackenzie was Madeline's daughter. She was worried that she might bully her.

"Ro, do you even have friends in Imperia?" She did not believe him. Could she be Ro's illegitimate daughter?

Ro insisted on accompanying her back to Imperia despite the fact that they barely met each other. He's here for his illegitimate daughter!

She thought that she had discovered a big secret. With this secret, I could easily manipulate Ro.

Their grandpa was a traditional old man. He stated clearly that he would not recognise and accept children into the Solace family if they were illegitimate.

"Well, it's one of my old acquaintances. I'll find a nanny to take care of the girl; you just need to get along well with her."

"Ro, don't you worry, I'll get along with your daughter."

Rowan ignored her sarcastic tone, and he carried Mackenzie upstairs.

After he left, Liam said, "Ms. Solace, it seems like Mr. Solace likes this child very much."

"Of course, how could he not like her?"

Liam continued to say, "She looks like Madame Solace."
