Chapter 15 - Challenging the Authority

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Winnie and Madam Bella had the same thought as Aries. Although Alger did seem different from before right now, he was still the same person after all.

A playful look appeared on Alger’s face. He then turned around and walked into a room.

After a while, Alger pulled a luggage out and threw it by Aries’ feet.

Everyone looked at Alger in confusion. When Alger opened the luggage, everyone saw those thick stacks of banknotes and were completely dumbfounded.

Alger had prepared this beforehand. He was planning to take it out to embarrass Aries when Aries tried to put Winnie in a difficult position with his debt!

Alger looked at Aries and said indifferently, “Here’s a million dollars. If you don’t believe me, you can check it in the bank.”

Aries didn’t know what to say for a second. Moments later, he looked at Alger and said with a surprised face, “Where did you get the money?”

Alger shrugged and said, “That is none of your business, but the money is all yours now. You should also apologize to Winnie for what you said before.”

After hearing this, Aries gradually turned pale, as if he ate a fly.

Asking him to apologize to Winnie was humiliating to him!

Aries said furiously, “Alger, how dare you ask me to apologize to Winnie?”

Alger smiled and replied, “Just based on the fact that you’re asking Winnie to go back to solve the problems for you. Of course, if you don’t want to, you should leave.”

“You truly have guts!” Aries was so enraged that he smiled instead.

Alger still looked calm. “Don’t you forget the situation you’re in right now. You’re the one who’s begging Winnie to go back. Since you’re here to beg people for help, you should certainly show your sincerity.”

“Otherwise, I believe that if you go back like this, the Duke of Rolle wouldn’t be happy as well.”

Alger paused and said with a faint smile, “With his temper, how would the Duke of Rolle punish you? He would probably ask you to leave the villa immediately and sever the relationship between you and the Rolle family?”

Aries was immediately stunned after hearing this.

Winnie looked at Alger in shock and her heartbeat couldn’t help but speed up.

Madam Bella didn’t know where Alger got so much money, but seeing Aries’ expression right now, she was extremely thrilled.

Alger looked at Aries and said with a deep voice, “Are you apologizing or not?”

Aries gritted his teeth angrily. Let alone apologizing to Winnie, how could a person like him tolerate the way Alger talked to him?

He shouted, “Alger, don’t go too far. I may not be able to deal with you, but don’t think Grandpa can’t either!”

After that, Aries turned to Winnie. “Winnie, I’m only saying this once. It’s not too late if you come with us now. If you don’t, I’ll call Grandpa right away. I’ll let him talk to you then!”

After hearing this, Winnie and Madam Bella were very worried. After all, the Duke of Rolle had a very commanding presence in the Rolle family.

The Duke of Rolle could kick them out of the Rolle family anytime if he wanted.

Winnie looked at Alger worriedly, but Alger didn’t panic at all.

Alger smiled at Winnie and said, “It’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”

For some reason, after hearing what he said, Winnie’s mind immediately became calm.

Seeing how Winnie trusted Alger, Aries was so enraged that his eyes turned red. He looked at Winnie with a distorted face and said, “Okay, you said that. Don’t regret it!”

Then, he took out his phone to call the Duke of Rolle.

Madam Bella frowned and said to Alger, “Alger, what exactly are you doing? If you want to die, don’t drag Winnie too!”

Alger didn’t panic at all. He looked at Madam Bella and said, “Don’t worry.”

Seeing how calm Alger was, Madam Bella was doubtful in her mind.

Although she didn’t express it, Alger truly seemed different from before.

Aries told the Duke of Rolle on the other side of the phone furiously, “Grandpa, I came to see Winnie, but she doesn’t want to go back with me. Alger, this kid, even stopped me at the door!”

“I think these people don’t care about our family at all!’

The hearts of Winnie and Madam Bella tightened after hearing this and a glint of anxiousness flashed in their eyes.

The Duke of Rolle said something on the other side of the phone, then Aries looked at Winnie and said, “Winnie, Grandpa wants to talk to you!”

Winnie swallowed and reached out to take the phone.

However, Alger was one step ahead of her. He grabbed Aries’ phone and said, “Grandpa, this is Alger.”

Aries glared at Alger angrily and said, “Alger, what are you doing?!”

The Duke of Rolle on the other side of the phone didn’t sound like he was in a good mood. He said, “Where’s Winnie? Put her on.”

Alger said calmly, “I’m sorry. Winnie doesn’t feel well. She can’t talk to you, so she also can’t go back to the office.”

Everyone gazed at Alger in shock, looking like they couldn’t believe it.

In the Rolle family, the Duke of Rolle was their God. No one dared to disobey what he said, but Alger just did so.

Aries had apparently not expected Alger to be so courageous. He quickly said, “Grandpa, Alger is lying to you. Winnie is standing right here!”

Madam Bella put her hand on her chest and sat down as she said desperately, “Oh God, oh God. We’re in trouble now…”

Compared to the anxious Winnie and Madam Bella, Alger was still as calm as a cucumber.

The Duke of Rolle remained silent. Aries’ voice was pretty loud so the Duke of Rolle certainly heard him.

After a long time, the Duke of Rolle finally replied on the other side of the phone, “Go on.”

Alger said slowly, “Winnie is also your granddaughter. How can you treat your own granddaughter like this? Even if you’re biased, you shouldn’t go too far, right?”

The Duke of Rolle said with a low voice, “What do you mean? You want me to make it up for Winnie?”

“I didn’t say that.” Alger continued, “But I believe that you know what exactly happened. Since you’re wrong, you should also have an appropriate attitude.”

What Alger said was very clear, so he didn’t want to say too much. He then hung up without hesitation.

Aries, Winnie and the others still hadn’t recovered from their astonishment yet.

After a while, Aries looked at Alger arrogantly and said, “Haha, there’s truly something wrong with your brain. How dare you talk to Grandpa with such an attitude?”

“Let me tell you, you’re finished. No, you all are finished. Your whole family has gone mad because of Alger! Hahahaha!”

After hearing that, Madam Bella looked extremely bad. She thought it was all Alger’s fault, so she directly scolded Alger, “Alger! What exactly are you doing?!”

“How can you trick Winnie like that? Great! What should we do if the Duke gets angry?”

Seeing that her mother was having an emotional breakdown, Winnie quickly went to comfort her.

Mr. Dunne on the side, who hadn’t talked much since the beginning, suddenly said, “Alright, let’s tidy up the things, or it’ll look messy when Father comes over.”

Madam Bella was startled. She said in shock, “Are you saying that your father is coming to our home?”
