Chapter 65: Putting on the most impeccable mask
Don’t make a joke at all …
Allyce savoured the words carefully and said in a warm voice: “Understood, grandfather, I’ll be on time today.
Hanging up the phone, Allyce held the phone for a moment in light thought.
Hearing Casimiro’s tone, it sounded like he had invited someone else.
Could it be Richie Nuncio again?
After thinking about it, I didn’t think it was possible.
Now that she had signed a contract with the L. K. Group, and Casimiro thought she was having an affair with the president of L. K., he didn’t think she was stupid enough to send it to the Nuncio family.
As to what was going on, we would find out tonight.
There was always something to contend with.
At the time, it did nothing, but was still splashed with dirty water that has now not been washed away.
Even if you don’t go to the family reunion, what must come, will always come.
…
In the evening.
Allyce searched through her wardrobe and decided on her favourite red dress.
It was a soft, comfortable fabric with a knee-length skirt with a ruffled hem.
It is a beautiful and elegant dress, and the red colour makes it even more eye-catching.
After a quick makeover, Allyce set off.
When she arrived at Kimdis, Allyce headed straight to her private room.
The waiter opened the door, and when he looked in, he saw the whole Delahoz family.
Allyce’s eyes twinkled slightly and she entered with a curly smile, calling first to Casimiro: “Grandfather”.
“Well, sit down.” Casimir looked at her and turned his head again.
It was Eric, who was sitting at the head of the table below him, who said, “I’ve been in the branch division for a while and I hear Allyce is back working in-house, how does it feel to work in-house?”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“I’m fine, thank you for your concern.” Allyce ducked her head slightly, hiding the emotions in her eyes with a good, understanding look.
Senona said: “Dad, don’t you know, Allyce took on a big project as soon as she got back to the office.
“Really, Allyce is all grown up! If only the older brother hadn’t …”
Eric stopped abruptly at this point, as if suddenly realising he had said something he shouldn’t have, and turned his head to look at Casimiro.
Then he smiled apologetically to Allyce and stopped talking.
He acted as if he had mentioned it without thinking, but Casimir’s face had changed as soon as he heard him say “big brother”.
Allyce slightly tilted the corners of her mouth, Senona’s white lotus attribute, I think she also inherited it from her father Eric.
It was clear that she had deliberately brought up Allyce’s father to arouse Casimir’s antipathy towards her, but she pretended to do so accidentally.
Casimiro had kept only a superficial peace with Allyce thanks to L. K.’s collaboration, but he had never expected to make Eric so nervous.
“It’s not good to talk about this on a day like today, man.”
Allyce got up with a calm face and carried the teapot over to Casimir, poured him a cup of tea and spoke to him in a gentle tone, “Don’t be angry grandfather, I think uncle has been too tired to say this lately …”
Pretending to be innocent?
She didn’t need to pretend, she was already the most innocent.
Casimir’s eyebrows relaxed slightly when he heard her say that.
He felt that Allyce had “got it” lately, so he didn’t scowl at her: “You’re having a hard time too, sit down.
At that point, Lavina, who hadn’t said a word, scoffed and said, “It’s hard for Allyce too, with your reputation, you’re used to being in the company, aren’t you?”.
Lavina was Casimiro’s second wife, much younger than him, and often found it difficult to face Allyce, thanks to Casimiro’s connivance.
Allyce’s hand tightened twice as she clutched her teacup, then loosened again.
When he looked up again, his face was calm and unperturbed: “Thank you for your concern, I’m doing well in the office with Grandpa looking after me.
Trying to provoke her, he doesn’t let Lavina get away with it.
Suddenly, Casimir set down the teacup he was holding on the table with a loud thud. There was a thud.
Lavina, who was about to say something else, was so surprised by the sound that she withdrew her words.
“Cut the crap!” Casimiro turned his head towards Lavina: “You’re an old man and you don’t know how to be polite!”.
“Casimiro …”
Usually Lavina would do something to make Casimiro angry and say a few soft words and nothing would happen, but to her surprise Casimiro interrupted her directly and harshly: “Shut up”.
“You …”
Lavina had always hated Allyce, and now Casimiro was yelling at her in front of Allyce, so she couldn’t accept it.
He gave Allyce a merciless look, and did not dare to scold her in front of Casimiro, so he could only say in a very muffled tone: “What are you telling me to shut up for, you tell her not to do those things!
“Snap!”
This time, Casimir smashed the teacup in his hand on the floor.
Allyce’s eyelids fluttered at his sudden action.
It was then that Lavina finally felt frightened and lowered her head, without speaking again.
“I told you to shut up, didn’t you hear me?”
Casimiro looked angry and said several heavy words before stopping.
Allyce was a little surprised.
Lavina had given him a hard time when she still lived at Delahoz’s house, but Casimiro had never spoken up for her.
This was the first time.
Did the fact that he signed the contract with the LK Group and had to follow it up make Casimiro behave in this way?
At the end of the meal, Allyce didn’t know what to eat, but she ate a little.
When she finished, she made an excuse to leave and Casimiro did not want to keep her.
However, when he reached the door, he did not go out, but stood at the door with his mobile phone and listened to the people inside.
After a minute, he heard Casimiro’s voice: “She still has the L. K. project in her hand, so behave yourselves and don’t mess with her.
Lavina immediately began to reply: “No, it is not. It’s …”
Casimir snorted coldly: “I don’t know your virtue yet!
“I …”
The words that followed did not need to be heard.
Allyce laughed, put the phone away and turned to leave.
Fortunately, he was not blinded by Casimiro’s gesture of goodwill.
Su family people are always like that, never trust them easily.
They will put on the most impeccable mask to cover up the heart that has malice written all over it for the sake of profit.
…
As she left Kimdis, Allyce felt that the air around her was much fresher.
Tilting his head back, he took a deep breath before putting down his bag and walking towards the road.
After a couple of steps, she felt someone looking at her.
Allyce looked up and saw Severo not far from her.
Surprise appeared on his face, hadn’t he said he was going abroad on business for a week? How come he’s back so soon?
“Allyce.
Severo took the cigarette out of his hand and threw it back into the wastebasket of the car behind him while saying his name out loud.
Allyce didn’t really like her name as a child because she always thought it didn’t sound good, but every time Severo called her by her name, she thought her name sounded unusually good.
