Chapter 42

"Divorce? In ten days? Auntie, what are you going to do?" Alfred's body shuddered when he heard that.

"That's none of your business," said Jane confidently. "Anyway, I've told you what you should do. Alfred, I will surely look down on you if you don't grasp this opportunity to win her heart. Please do what you should do."

"Auntie, I know what I should be doing now that you have given me your words. Don't worry, I will buy a house now. If I become Bella's husband, I promise that you will be the next most influential woman in Golden City. Endless glory and wealth will be waiting for you to enjoy Alfred promised, his eyes twinkling with a tinge of determination.

Jane was pleased to hear Alfred's reply. "Well, we don't have to rush things. Ten days later, it will be her birthday. I hope you will make sure to get her in your hands."

"Sure, Auntie I'll listen to your advice, answered Alfred.

Jane hung up the phone, her heartbeat accelerating.
