Oriana smiled lightly, but she quickly remembered why she called and the smile hastily disappeared from her face. “Mr, Armstead, do you have time now? Director Hudson is inviting you over.”
“Why? Are you finally going to introduce me to the public?”
He must have known about the incident on the institute’s group, but he still accorded her enough freedom, to do things at her own will.
“Mr. Armstead, are you coming?” Oriana inquired impatiently.
“Hold on a sec, I’ll be there soon.”
Director Hudson’s office corridor was already surrounded by students who were eavesdropping. They were awaiting director Hudson’s verdict to see if Oriana would be kicked out.
Pamela was also waiting outside. She was very confident.
“I heard that there was truce in there. Oriana had called president Armstead, and had asked him to come.” One of the students who was eavesdropping disclosed.
“No way, is Mr. Armstead really coming?”
“Pamela, is president Armstead coming?”
All the students quickly surrounded Pamela. Pamela smiled softly and replied,
“Now that Oriana’s cheating has been revealed, this is at the cusp of the storm. I don’t think that President Armstead will come. In fact, men sometimes get tempted and they covet new things, but once they’re back to their senses, the deformed relationship would be cut off.” Pamela indirectly implied that Oriana had seduced Deacon. Of course, she was bound to think so. Otherwise she really wouldn’t understand how Oriana captured
Deacon’s attention.
The students nodded satisfactorily..
“That’s true, president Armstead is a big buisness tycoon, how could he be summoned that easily by Oriana? President Armstead will definitely not come!”
Hearing the student’s approval, a confident smile arched on her lips.
Suddenly, someone look at Pamela with a strange look,
“Pamela, look!”
“What’s wrong?” Pamela questioned.
“President Armstead is here!”
What?
Pamela’s heart skipped a beat and she quickly turned to look outside through the window. She sighted the world’s. top luxury car, the Rolls–Royce Phantom, galloping unhindered all the way into the research institute. The car door was opened and a tall and handsome figure stepped out.
Deacon Armstead was really here!
Deacon was clothed in a handsome black suit. He was extremely gorgeous and alluring.
His domineering aura submerged the onlookers, leaving them gasping for more.
Pamela’s pupils shrank. She didn’t really expect that Deacon would come.
He had come for Oriana!
Deacon closed the car door and walked forward with the car key in one hand.
When everyone turned around, Oriana was already standing by the door of director
Hudson’s office.
Everyone unconsciously dispersed, giving way to Oriana. Oriana walked forward. She raised her black eyes and stared at Deacon’s handsome face. She stretched out her right hand to him.
Deacon held her soft and boneless hand and gently squeezed it, then took her hand and strode into Hudson’s office.
The entire hall was filled with silence.
What had just happened now? The entire students were caught off guard.
Pamela felt as though a basin of cold water was being poured on her head, making her entire body, especially her heart feel cold.
Deacon Armstead really came!
Why?
Why?!
How did Oriana hook up with Deacon? She couldn’t find any clues!
Why was Deacon so fascinated by Oriana?
Deacon’s arrival had already cleared everything. Director Hudson had politely released
Oriana.
Though the students had had enough for the day, they were still awaiting the final judgement.
“Everyone, return back to your classes!” Director Hudson ordered impatiently. The entire students dispersed quickly, scampering to their various departments.
Pamela looked pale and downcast. She called out weakly,
“Director Hudson…”
Director Hudson still liked Pamela very much. He remembered that the daughter of the
Hendrix’s family who was to marry into the Red Villa was Pamela and not Oriana.
Pamela herself didn’t know about this, for she had missed a great opportunity of being
Mrs. Armstead.
Monica took a picture of Mr. Henry and quickly forwarded it to Pamela.
A few seconds later. Pamela’s call came in. She was extremely excited.
“Mom, is this the old man that Oriana married? It looks as though he’s eighty years old.
How did Oriana marry an old man!” Pamela almost burst into a loud laughter.
Monica stared at Mr. Henry who was inside the mansion.
“Pamela, that’s right, this is Oriana’s ghost husband. At his age, he’s old enough to be
Oriana’s grandfather. I’m certain that Deacon Armstead will definitely kick Oriana out of his life once he sees this.”
“Mom, you’re amazing. Why are you so smart? You brought Oriana back from the countryside and married hey to the old man in the Red Villa.” Pamela expressed her admiration for Monica.
Monica smiled satisfactorily.
“Yeah, Pamela. Mom has already paved the way for you. Let’s wait and see!”
After hanging up. Monica looked at Patrick.
“Patrick, we all have to work hard for Pamela’s happiness. After all, Oriana isn’t your biological daughter, and she’s not close to you. She and Deacon are together and you’re not benefiting by any way. The good thing is that the ghost husband of the Red Villa has been exposed, how can Deacon endure it?”
If Oriana was kicked out by Deacon, then his proud and favorite daughter, Pamela, would be able to take over the throne.
Patrick felt elighted. Now that he was happy, Monica was much more appealing to his eyes than past days.
“Monica, just go ahead and do whatsoever you have to do. I’m giving you my full support.” Patrick said happily. It was the first words that he had said to her in the past few days. It was a good sign to Monica, she didn’t relent to flaunt the joy that she felt as her face beamed with excitement.
“I know, Patrick.” She replied cheerfully.
Oriana was on her way back to the Red Villa when her phone beeped indicating a message from North.
“Oriana, who is this old man?” North had forwarded a photo of Butler Henry.
Oriana glanced at it and responded,
“It’s our butler at the Red Villa, uncle, Henry.”
North’s message came in again,
“Is he the ghost you got married to?”
What?
Oriana knew instantly that something wasn’t right, she suddenly clicked on the newsfeed and the trending search was all about her again.
“Oriana married an old man?”
“Oriana’s husband really did hide perfectly!”
“Is it now justified that Oriana cheated on her marriage? After all, he can’t satisfy her.”
“Mr. Armstead really is pitiful. I doubt that he would have ever imagine that he would be smashing an old man’s wife.”
Oriana swallowed hard as she read through the comments. She didn’t expect that Mr.
Henry would be mentioned as her husband.
