My Bossy CEO Husband

"Mom, are you kidding me?" Jeffrey asked in disbelief.

Nellie was silent, which proved that he did not hear it wrong.

Without second thought, he waved his hand.

"Mom, have you forgotten what you've done to Uncle Ryan? You and Dad were lucky that he didn't take revenge.How could you ask him for help now? Forget it.I'm telling you, that's not going to happen."

Nellie retorted, "I didn't ask you to beg Ryan.You can go to your grandpa instead."

"No way!"

"Bruce!"

"No.No matter what you say, I won't go.You're just using me as a tool.Oh, come on.Let me analyze it for you.There are only two outcomes if I indeed beg Grandpa.First, he won't help me.It will be embarrassing.Even if he's willing to help me, Uncle Ryan won't allow him.He's the CEO of Oliver Group.Grandpa will only be able to help us if he successfully persuades Uncle Ryan.You know Uncle Ryan.He's been vindictive ever since he was a child.If I ask Grandpa for help and Uncle Ryan finds out, he'll make my life a living hell.Mom, I won't do that."

"Bruce!"

"I know what you're going to say.You're going to reason out that Uncle Ryan, Uncle Luke, and I have been close over the years.You think that maybe, Uncle Ryan won't mind if I ask for help.We grew up together, after all.Not only that, but I'm also his nephew.Isn't that right?"

Nellie did not answer, but her silence meant yes.

Without another word, Jeffrey waved his hand and marched out.

‘Fuck! Uncle Ryan and I are rivals in love.

Can you believe it? Rivals in love! And yet, Mom wants me to beg him for help.

Damn it! Sorry to say, but I'd rather get struck by a bolt of lightning than do that..

"Bruce? Bruce!"

Nellie shouted behind Jeffrey.

"Mom, if you want to disown me, fine, do it.But no matter what you say, I will never ask Grandpa for help.Before I leave, I have a suggestion for you.If you really want to ask for help, at least show some sincerity.You and Dad should go and beg Grandpa."

Then, he strode out of the villa.

Behind him, Nellie was shouting his name, livid.However, he did not stop, much less look back.It was now deep into the night.

Thousands of stars shone in the night sky.

At that moment, Jeffrey wrapped his coat around him and jogged to the car.

The moment he got in, he started the engine and drove away.

The car roared in the quiet night.Its rumble could even be heard inside the villa.

Nellie sat on the sofa, fuming.

In order to calm herself down, she took several deep breaths for a while.
