Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO

Chapter 1077 - 557: Extra: His Poisonous Tongue_2

Aunt PA’s words reached Chester Robinson’s ears without missing a single one.When she turned around and saw Chester Robinson, Aunt PA’s face turned pale with fear.

Alice Robinson was also stunned for a moment when she saw Chester Robinson.

Aunt PA lowered her head and quietly retreated.

Alice cried out, "Brother."

Chester Robinson’s expression was somewhat dark, but his emotions were inscrutable. His gaze swept over her, "I have a few questions to ask you."

"Oh."

Chester Robinson turned and walked out of the dining room.

Alice frowned slightly but obediently followed behind Chester Robinson.

They walked all the way into the study that David Robinson used during his lifetime. Chester Robinson came to the desk, picked up a stack of files, turned to Alice, "Is this your handwriting and the contract you signed with Claud Laurence?"

Alice nodded lightly.

Chester Robinson said, "Come here."

Alice took a step forward.

Chester Robinson frowned, "Why are you so far away from me, are you afraid I have germs on me?"

"I..."

I just don’t want to be too close to you because distance is more suitable for us.

Of course, Alice didn’t say such a thing.

She walked to his side but intentionally kept a few dozen centimeters’ distance from him.

Chester Robinson was a meticulous person; he couldn’t possibly not notice Alice’s aloofness.

He frowned slightly but didn’t say anything.

Alice seriously looked at the documents in his hand and asked, "Is there a problem with my handwriting and contract?"

Chester Robinson opened a diary sandwiched within the documents and said coldly, "There’s no semblance of a proper handwriting... The script is messy, two-thirds of it is unreadable."

Alice took her diary, innocent, "Where is it messy... I understand it perfectly."

"And in a while?" Chester Robinson squinted seriously and glared at her coldly, "When you want to retrieve previous notes, can you be sure which page and section they’re on?"

"I..." Alice lowered her head, "I will sort them out gradually."

"And this document..."

Chester Robinson tossed the contract she signed with Claud Laurence onto the desk, "Are you sure you’ve read it all, without any oversights?"

Alice looked up at him, "I invited a lawyer to sign the contract with me, absolutely no oversight."

"Really?"

Chester Robinson’s eyes became sharper, like two knives, "Read the last clause seriously..."

Alice took the contract and glanced at it.

"If a dispute arises post-cooperation and one party proposes to terminate, the consensus must be reached by both parties; otherwise, neither party can propose termination."

"This... What’s the issue?"

"Are you using your brain to think things through?" Chester Robinson’s face was cold, "The Robinson is a family business. Cooperation with a lover is temporary. In a few years, once all the Robinson wineries are on track, the lover should be excluded... And you set up such a contract, if in the future as the party Claud Laurence doesn’t want to withdraw his shares, do you plan to split Robinson’s shares with him?"

Alice lowered her head, "I didn’t think that much."

"You’re either not thinking that much, or you’ve already considered Claud Laurence as family, planning to give him all the Robinson shares in the future?"

He scolded her brutally, leaving no room for retort.

Alice couldn’t bear being wronged, angrily raised her head, "Why are you being so fierce... I don’t understand business dealings, and the contract was reviewed several times with the lawyer before finalizing it, maybe there’s some oversight, but it’s just a small issue, why are you targeting me with hostility?"

Chester Robinson looked at her coldly, "Is this how you speak to me?"

Alice turned her face aside, "You’re the one being harsh..."

"Did I say anything incorrect?"

Alice said stubbornly, "Yes, Claud Laurence is my boyfriend, so what’s wrong with planning to give him Robinson’s shares in the future? I can’t manage such a vast estate alone."

Chester Robinson sneered, "Just knowing a man for a month or two and already calling him boyfriend, your moral baseline is remarkably shallow!"

Alice was so angry her face turned green, "How am I morally shallow? Is it against moral just to have a boyfriend, find someone to rely on in the future?"

"There’s nothing wrong with having a boyfriend, but without thoroughly understanding him, you put the family business at risk, are you sure you’ll marry him in the future?"

"I trust him." Alice said firmly.

Chester Robinson snorted, "Did three days and two nights in Tokyo earn you his body and soul?"

To this day, when he spoke to her, there was always sarcasm.

In his heart, is she really such an ethically shallow person?

Alice took a deep breath to ease the discomfort from the pain in her heart, and after glaring at him for a long time, she said, "I don’t want to argue with you... You’re my brother, I know you have far more life experience than me, maybe everything you say is right, but I trust Claud Laurence, and I know that with his status and background, he won’t even care about Robinson’s shares, so you’re overthinking it. Even if I don’t end up with him, I trust he won’t waste his precious time on these limited Robinson shares."

After speaking, Alice angrily turned and left the study, completely unafraid of his dark and sinister gaze.

After leaving the study, Alice ran all the way to the second-floor terrace.

Standing in front of the terrace railing, Alice bit her lips, feeling wronged.

Why are his words always so harsh?

In her heart, is she really such a poor person?

She wants to get along well with him because they’re family, alone he would feel lonely too, if there was this family, maybe he wouldn’t be that lonely.

But why does he always make their relationship so strained?

Does he really hate her that much?

Or maybe she shouldn’t expect to be able to coexist peacefully with him at all.

She closed her eyes, suppressing the soreness in her eyes, unwilling to allow the wetness in her eyes to gather into tears.

The phone in her pocket rang at this moment...

Alice wrinkled her nose, suppressing the soreness at the tip of her nose, and took out her phone.
