Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage
His subordinate said in a low voice.
“Second young master, this Oriana is the bride who married into the Red Villa some time ago. She is the eldest young master’s new wife and your sister–in–law.”
Marvin didn’t utter a word in response.
“Second young master, your mother has been urging you to come home. Seeing that you’ve reached the age of marriage, the famous family of the imperial city, Crystal, are hoping…” Once the subordinate realized that his young master wasn’t paying attention to him, he swiftly stopped talking.
Hudson had never had a good impression of Oriana. Even if she had passed her check earlier, he felt that her origin was unknown and her background hidden.
Once Divine was out of the pharmacy, Oriana looked at director Hudson, and said,
“Let’s go, sir.”
“Oriana, do you know whose granddaughter Divine is?” Hudson suddenly asked.
“Whose granddaughter is Divine?” Oriana questioned unknowingly.
Hudson felt that Oriana should be aware of Divine’s identity, otherwise, why would she be so good to her. But now that he was staring directly into her black and clear eyes, it was obvious that she wasn’t aware.
Hudson mumbled,
“Forget it, let’s go to the office and discuss about your issue!”
In the office.
Hudson stared at Oriana for a while and then muttered,
“Oriana, you’re already married into the Red Villa. You’re a married woman, right?” Oriana nodded.
“Then let me ask you again, is the photo that was exposed on the group real? Are you really with Deacon Armstead?”
Oriana nodded again,
“Yes.”
Hudson frowned.
“Oriana, you’re already married, and now you’re with Deacon, the most prominent dignitary in Los Angeles. I know that there alot of temptations out there and a whole lot of women can’t bear it. I really understand that it’s really not easy to turn down a successful high–
class man like president Armstead.” Hudson paused to take a breathe.
“I know I shouldn’t get involved with your personal speculating that you got in here with the help of president Deacon, and such speculations will smear the good reputation of our great school.“Hudson explained with a sigh.
“Director Hudson, what do you intend on doing?” Oriana questioned calmly.
“This is also where I’m struggling, to be honest. Everyone wants you to leave the Ivory
Council, but you and I know that this issue isn’t that simple. Your admission into the
Privy council has nothing to do with boss Armstead. You were nominated by the dean.
And by the way, what’s your relationship with the dean?”
Oriana furrowed her eyebrows and replied,
“Director Hudson, I have nothing to do with the dean, but we have met a few times. He once gave me a number, he said that I should give him a call whenever I’m interested in joining the Ivory Council, he also said that the door of the Ivory Council is always open for me.”
Hudson let out an unbelievable scoff, the dean of the Ivory Council is a national scholar.
He played an admirable and important role in the discovery of medicines for genetics and infectious diseases.
“Oriana, I think you’re so young. How could you comfortably tell such a lie? Who do you think you are? How can the dean say such to you?” Hudson questioned doubtfully.
Oriana shrugged. If Hudson didn’t believe her words, then there was absolutely nothing that she could do.
Hudson felt that Oriana’s attitude was way too non–chalant. He wondered where she derived her confidence from.
“Oriana, I’ll call the dean now and expose all your lies!”
Oriana shook her head slightly and stared at Hudson, waiting for him to do his worst.
Hudson quickly dailed a number. He didn’t believe that Oriana could still be so calm. But he was convinced that once her secret were out in the open, her calmness would vanish.
The call was quickly connected, and the dean’s voice sounded,
“Hello, director Hudson.”
“Hello, sir. I’m sorry to disturb you, but something happened to Oriana…”
“Oriana?” The dean quickly interrupted Hudson,
“Is Oriana there with you now? Let me have a word with her.”
Hearing the concern and urgency in the dean’s tone, Hudson was perplexed. He pondered on the possibility of Oriana being the dean’s daughter.
Hudson handed the phone to Oriana, who said,
“Hello, good morning, sir.”
“Oriana, how’re you doing?” The dean questioned concernedly. It was the first time time that Hudson had heard the gentlest and most cordial greetings from the dean in his entire life.
Oriana nodded and responded,
“I’m fine, sir. Thank you.”
“The Ivory Council is definitely worthy of having you my dear, Oriana. Although I’ve said this countless times, but no matter how embarrassing it might be as a teacher, I don’t mind worshipping you.” The dean added enthusiastically and let out a sweet short laughter.
Director Hudson’s had froze on the spot. He really didn’t understand the conversation that he was listening to.
He had great difficulties coming to terms with the fact that the national scholar, with outstanding medical awards, would offer to worship a mere student.
“Oriana, go ahead and think about my offer, I wouldn’t mind waiting.” The dean added and Oriana chuckled, “Okay, sir.”
Was this the dean that he knew? Hudson was dumbfounded as he couldn’t believe his ears.
“By the way, was director Hudson intending on telling me about your relationship scandal with President Armstead?”
Hudson hastily wanted coming to his defense, but he heard Oriana saying calmly,
“Don’t worry, dean. Deacon Armstead is my legal husband.”
“Don’t worry, dean. Deacon Armstead is my legal husband.”
Director Hudson jumped up from his chair in shock. He stared at Oriana in disbelief. What was she doing?
The dean was not surprised at all. Medical researchers weren’t interested in people’s private life.
“Oh my,
I didn’t expect Deacon Armstead to have such a good vision, but Oriana, go ahead and live your best life my girl, for life only is once.”
“Thank you, sir.” Oriana responded with a smile.
“Alright, Oriana, do have a nice day.” The dean added.
“Thank you, sir. You too.” Oriana handed the phone over to the stunned director. The dean hastily switched back to his stern nature.
“Director Hudson. I trust you can handle all the issues. Do not allow anyone disturb
Oriana, is that understood?”
“Yes, dean. I understand.”
Director Hudson ended the call. He couldn’t recover for some time. He needed time to digest the shocking news. Director Hudson turned to Oriana and took a good at her again. He really didn’t understand how the girl before him could covey the dean’s love and favour. He still didn’t phantom what was going on between Oriana and Deacon. “Oriana, if you claim that Deacon is your husband, how about the man that you married in the Red
Villa?” Hudson could feel his head splitting, so he needed a vivid explanation.
Oriana’s bright eyes stared at Hudson..
“Director Hudson, it’s actually very simple. The whole of Los Angeles knows that I’m married to the Red Villa, but what you all don’t know is that the Red Villa is owned by
Deacon Armstead.” Oriana spoke calmly, with a visible trace of pride in her tone.
What!
Hudson was dumbfounded.
“Oriana, uhm…” Director Hudson made to say but couldn’t find his words.
“Oriana, this entire issue is way too sudden for me to comprehend. I really can’t listen to your words. Since you claim that Deacon Armstead is your legal husband, then invite him to the institute, I need to have a word with him.”
“Oh, just that?” Oriana questioned as she took out her phone from her bag and dailed
Deacon’s number.
The phone rang, and it was answered almost immediately. Deacon’s magnetic and low voice passed over,
“You missed me so soon?”
