“What do you want?” Alger said after taking the phone.
“Why is it you? I’m looking for Winnie. Get Winnie here!” Aries said arrogantly on the other side.
A hint of derision appeared in Alger’s eyes. He then hung up without hesitation.
After seeing Alger hang up, Winnie asked in confusion, “What did Aries say?”
Alger smiled and said, “Nothing. I guess he just called to beg you to go back.”
“Huh?” Winnie couldn’t believe it.
Alger then continued, “Aries must have gone to Bode Real Estate, but wasn’t able to meet Ibre.”
“I see…”
Winnie nodded. Thinking about it again, she looked at Alger in shock and said, “But how did you know about Ibre?”
That was the General Manager of Bode Real Estate. Winnie didn’t recall that she had talked about Ibre in front of Alger.
“Um…”
Alger was startled at first, then he said with a smile, “My friend works at Bode Real Estate, so I heard him mention this person to me!”
Winnie didn’t think much of it. She nodded and said, “I see…”
Aries had never thought Alger would have the guts to hang up the call. How impressive!
When he called again, he found that Winnie’s phone was already turned off!
This made Aries so enraged that his lungs were about to explode. He had no other choice. He could only drive to Winnie’s home in a hurry.
Along the way, Aries even had the thought of killing Alger. There was a sullen expression on his face, as if a storm was about to break out.
This was the first time Aries came to Winnie’s home in a long time.
When he arrived at the door, he rang the bell. Seeing that the person who opened the door was Alger, Aries’ face turned even darker. He yelled furiously, “Get out of my way!”
However, Alger didn’t care about Aries’ attitude. After all, Aries and the others had always been arrogant before, so Alger was already used to it.
He only stood there and looked at Aries indifferently, not letting Aries go in.
When Aries saw that Alger didn’t move, he was so angry that his chest was heaving. He said, “Did you hear what I said just now? Get out of my way!”
Alger crossed his hands and said as he looked at Aries, “This is my house.”
Such words that flowed gently made Aries speechless for a second.
Although Madam Bella and the others in the living room remained silent after hearing this, they all had the same thought in their minds.
If this happened in the past, Madam Bella would probably have shouted at the top of her lungs and scolded Alger if he said something like that.
But when Madam Bella knew it was Aries who was standing right before Alger right now, she didn’t care about these things anymore. After all, compared to Alger, Madam Bella hated this guy, Aries, more.
Madam Bella said with a deep voice, “Alger, let him enter. I need to talk to him. Why does he still think it’s justifiable for him to take Winnie’s contract away?”
Aries looked extremely upset. He said, “It’s something about the company. I came here for Winnie!”
“Then, I’m really sorry. Winnie can’t see you at the moment,” Alger then said.
“What do you want?!”
Aries looked at Alger and said furiously, “I’ll be honest with you today. If something wrong happens to the company, you won’t be able to afford the consequences.”
“Ask Winnie to come here now. Otherwise, let me tell you…”
“What are you going to do?” Before Aries could finish talking, Madam Bella walked out of the living room fiercely and said, “Is there something wrong with your ears?”
“Didn’t Alger tell you that Winnie can’t see anyone right now? Why are you forcing her to come out?!”
Aries flushed with anger. His knuckles cracked under his clench. He had no idea what to say.
The Duke of Rolle had asked him to deal with this matter, but only Winnie could resolve the problem. And now, Winnie refused to see him. There was nothing else he could do.
Aries frowned. He couldn’t lower his head and beg Winnie.
After all, Aries thought that people like Winnie weren’t worth begging.
After Aries frowned and remained silent for a while, he suddenly remembered something.
So, he immediately stared at Alger and said, “Alger, I think you should ask Winnie to come out. Don’t forget that you still owe me money!”
Madam Bella was a bit shocked.
Back then, Madam Bella had gotten into a fight with Winnie because Alger’s mother needed money at that time and Winnie wanted to sell the house to help Alger.
This matter finally subsided, but Aries suddenly brought it up again. So Madam Bella suddenly became less arrogant than she was before.
Even though Madam Bella could say that Winnie had nothing to do with this debt, Alger and Winnie still hadn’t filed for a divorce so that statement wouldn’t quite make sense.
Madam Bella didn’t know what to say for a second.
Winnie heard this in the room and came out with a resigned look. She looked at Aries and said, “What are you doing here?”
Seeing Winnie show up, a complacent expression appeared on Aries’ face.
He looked at Winnie and said, “There’s something about the company we need you to deal with. Come with me to have a look!”
Winnie frowned, resigned that she could only go to the office.
Suddenly, Alger pulled Winnie behind him and said, “Didn’t you say that you don’t feel well? Just lie down in the house. Don’t think about company matters.”
This was the first time Alger talked to Winnie with such a domineering attitude. Even though he spoke very gently, Winnie could still feel his power and care in his words.
Winnie’s heart seemed to have skipped a beat because of this, like a little girl who just fell in love.
However, didn’t Alger still owe Aries money?
Winnie frowned and said while looking at Aries, “But you said he could pay you back in two weeks. Why are you asking for it now?”
“Haha, it’s my money. I want him to pay me back now. Are you unwilling to do so?” Aries looked at Winnie and said with a mocking tone.
Winnie frowned even tighter.
Just when Winnie didn’t know what to do, she heard Alger said to Aries, “I’ve already told you I’d definitely pay you back when I first borrowed money from you.”
Winnie, Aries and the others were stunned.
When Aries collected himself, he instantly burst into laughter. He looked at Alger like he was looking at an idiot. “At first, I only thought your brain had some problems.”
“But now, I think I’ve really underestimated you. You’re joking with me. How long has it been? You suddenly have a million dollars now?”
If so, why did Alger ask him for money back then?
