Chapter 47
Teresa frowned and folded her arms as she looked at Daniel. "Can you at least find the time to focus on your upcoming wedding?" she asked, irritation clear in her voice. "How will you have the time to make a perfect wedding when you're always distracted?"
"Isn't that the reason why you wanted to postpone the wedding?" Daniel countered, rolling his eyes. He was not planning to tell his mother that he did not care about the wedding at all. All he cared about were those shares.
"Did she agree to sign a prenuptial agreement?" Teresa asked.
"I insisted that we do not sign one," Daniel replied, meeting his mother's eyes. "It is me who refused to sign it," he added.
When Sofia heard that Daniel was cheating on her with Charlotte, she immediately thought that Alexander was simply trying to cause more trouble for his brother.
Sofia knew that for some reason, Alexander never seemed to like Daniel and would even constantly disrespect him in meetings. This would cause outbursts from Daniel as he would start thinking that he was inferior to his brother.
Seeing Daniel's frustration made Sofia wonder if she should give her inheritance to Daniel and help him out. Increasing his shares was going to change his status inside the Beaumont Family.
Thinking back, Sofia was incredibly lucky that her grandfather did not give her access to her inheritance until she turned 26, or she would have long given Daniel everything.
"Is it real?" Sofia asked Alexander, who was examining his ring.
"It should be," Alexander replied, shrugging and handing her back the ring.
"Do you think it's going to be expensive when I sell it?" Sofia asked.
"I don't know," Alexander shrugged again and handed her back the ring. Daniel actually wanted to sleep in her new place tonight, but Sofia declined and told him that she needed to introduce him to her grandmother first.
Once her grandmother knew that Sofia was already engaged, then things would change between them; and perhaps, her grandmother would even help him inside the Beaumont Empire.
Just as Sofia expected, this completely changed Daniel's mood. It seemed that he was very excited to meet her grandmother, perhaps even more excited than about his very own wedding.
"You really are something," Alexander said as he handed her a glass of champagne.
"What?" she snorted.
"You actually posted that you accepted his proposal despite already being married. I believe you should be more thankful that you married a very understanding husband," Alexander muttered as he sat beside her on the couch.
Again, Sofia snorted. To add fuel to the upcoming bomb that she was going to release tomorrow, she had already posted on her social media that she was engaged to Mr. Beaumont. Even Charlotte and a few of her executives publicly congratulated her.
"I said, Mr. Beaumont. I don’t remember saying it was Daniel," Sofia couldn’t help but chuckle before she slowly took a sip of her champagne. As she did, her gaze locked with Alexander's. "I don’t know why those people are assuming it was the younger one when I married the older one," Sofia smirked.
"You silly woman."
"This silly woman is your wife, sir," Sofia smiled as she took another sip of champagne. Then she raised her glass and said, "Happy engagement to me."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
