His Love is Like A Rose
Chapter 4
"At least we should find a master to help pick a lucky date and talk about the gifts and dowry for the betrothal..."
"Mom, two options."
Beau's smile was bitter.
Hearing the words "two options," I reflexively felt a tingling in my scalp, but realizing it was Beau's mother who had to choose, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Better her than me.
Beau's mother, on the other hand, looked wary, her eyes full of suspicion.
She was probably wondering if her outstanding son had been possessed by a ghost, coming up with yet another choice.
"One, let her be added to the household registry today.
"Two, I leave the household registry today.
"Of course, this time without breaking legs; I need to make money to support the family."
Ah... this...
I must have entered the book the wrong way; Beau was acting so crazy, even setting a time, leaving no room for delay.
In the book, though he was a psychopath, he wasn't this extreme!
His mother, infuriated, raised her arm, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.
"You... are you trying to infuriate me to death?
"Today I lay it out here. If she stays, I go; if I stay, she goes."
Her voice was sharp and piercing, giving me goosebumps all over.
That was a classic line in those mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, but Beau still didn't fall for it.
"Mom, do you choose one or two?"
His face was calm, showing no sign of emotion.
However, his mom was about to explode with anger, clutching her chest and bending over in pain.
"Beau, your mother is not feeling well. Hurry up and take her to the hospital..."
I quickly chimed in, not wanting to waste his mother's 'good intentions'!
"Take my mom to the hospital for a full check-up."
Beau raised his hand, and the woman who had been 'inviting' me immediately stepped forward briskly.
"Until the physical examination report comes out, let my mom rest in the ward.
"If she insists on leaving, then... tie her legs."
This added remark left me bewildered.
His mom, gasping for breath, glared at Beau with wide eyes as she was being held back.
"You ungrateful wretch! You dare lock me up!
"If you dare to marry her today, I will kick you out of the company!"
She was truly furious.
I shrank back, trying to lower my presence.
"Kick me out of the company?"
Beau deliberately stretched his words, his face full of malice.
"Mom, you need to make one more choice."
As a bystander, I felt a chill down my spine.
"I've been running the company for six years, and the market value has been rising.
"If you want to kick me out, fine. One, split the company, and I'll take all the cases I handled."
"Two, convert the appreciated value into shares for me.
"Make a choice!"
I lowered my head, not daring to look at his mom's face, which must be a spectacular mix of emotions.
Putting myself in her shoes, I would probably faint immediately and then pretend this never happened.
Why was Beau so crazy? What gave him the right?
That was his real mom, not an enemy or a rival!
Gosh, if he was this harsh to his own mom, and I wasn't even related to him...
I shouldn't think about it. I didn't dare to.
Yet, despite myself, I shivered.
Please, book transmigration god, send me away.
Beau, who slaughtered all in his path, was someone I couldn't deal with.
"And you, Nina, choose one, the cases I've handled in recent years, or the Burton Group's shares as your dowry."
