The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1138

“Huh? Didn’t you catch that?” Alaric asked with a leisurely drawl, his piercing gaze locking onto her and bringing her pressure.

He enunciated each word clearly for emphasis, “I said, you’re going to play the part of my girlfriend and come home with me to meet my grandad. Do that, and I’ll let your little mockery slide.”

Hertha blinked her wide, doe-like eyes at him, swallowing a gulp of astonishment. If she thought she had misheard him the first time, Alaric’s repetition left no room for doubt.

She certainly wasn’t hallucinating.

“You want me to pretend to be your girlfriend and meet your grandad? You’ve got some nerve! I mean, playing your girlfriend in front of Georgia was one thing, but meeting the family is a whole different ball game. You’re really going to bring a fake?”

Hertha had never done anything like this and certainly didn’t have the guts for it.

“I’ve got it covered. What are you scared of?” Alaric said coolly, a teasing smile playing at the corner of his mouth. “What, you’re afraid that my family will latch onto you and drag you into marriage after you met them?”

Hertha bristled at the challenge. She raised her neck with her chin defiantly tilted, “What do I have to be scared of? If anything, you should be worried. Imagine if your family actually wanted you to marry me. You’d really be stuck then!”
