“I hope that you can see it clearly!” Alger said voluntarily, “Of course, I also want everyone else to know that you shouldn’t look down on us.”

“I’m certainly an outsider for the Rolle family.” Alger paused and continued as he looked at the Duke of Rolle, “I know what you’re worrying about.”

“But, I can tell everyone here very clearly right now that I’m not interested in the property of the Rolle family. If you don’t believe me, Grandpa can directly put it in the will in the future.”

“However, Winnie and the others are related to you by blood. Even if we don’t care about this, wouldn’t it seem inappropriate to the outsiders?”

Alger finished everything he wanted to say and the Duke of Rolle and the others were immediately stunned.

Evidently, they were shocked by what Alger had said, because the things he said just now were words that nobody dared to say.

They could never talk about things like the Duke of Rolle making a will in the Rolle family. If they did, weren’t they cursing the Duke of Rolle to die?

Winnie looked at Alger in shock. She felt like Alger seemed to be different from how she remembered him.

The Duke of Rolle frowned tightly and he looked at Alger with a deep gaze before sighing. “That’s why I rushed here.”

Alger shook his head and said, “That’s not enough.”

Aries looked at Alger angrily and said, “Alger, haven’t you gone far enough? Grandpa has already come to this shabby place in person. What else do you want?”

Alger showed a mocking smile. He suddenly turned to Aries and said, “What do I want? Of course we must talk about things between us.”

Everyone looked at the dumbfounded Aries at the same time after hearing that.

They then heard Alger say, “I’ve already paid you back all the money I have borrowed from you, so do you still remember what I asked you to do just then?”

“God! That’s a million dollars!”

“Alger truly paid the debt off?”

“Where did Alger get so much money?!”

Everyone said as they looked at Alger in shock. The Duke of Rolle looked into Alger’s eyes and saw how calm Alger was. He didn’t seem to be lying.

Aries was extremely embarrassed for a moment. Thereafter, he pointed at Alger’s nose and said, “Alger, let me tell you, I won’t apologize to Winnie. Don’t even think about it!”

Alger ignored Aries. He only looked at the Duke of Rolle indifferently, as if he was waiting for the Duke to make a decision.

Alger could never tolerate the way Aries treated Winnie. He didn’t care how these people sneered at him. After all, he was already used to it. However, they couldn’t do this to Winnie!

Winnie also looked at the Duke of Rolle anxiously at this moment. When she was in the office, she had hoped that the Duke of Rolle would speak up for her, but the Duke acted like he didn’t care at all.

Alger was being so fierce and domineering right now. So how could the Duke of Rolle still be biased towards Aries?

Those who had always fawned over Aries before also looked at the Duke of Rolle anxiously at this moment.

The Duke of Rolle still hadn’t spoken for a while, which made Aries relieved again. He thought that the Duke of Rolle was on his side, so he looked at Alger arrogantly and said.

“Alger, who do you think you are? Do you think you can do whatever you want because of this contract?”

“You even want me to apologize? Haha, you should be the one who kneels, kowtows and apologizes to Grandpa. If you do that, I guess Grandpa won’t make it difficult for you anymore. And hopefully, Winnie and the others won’t be dragged into this!”

“Otherwise, these people won’t ever exist in the Rolle family anymore. Why don’t you look at where you are? Do you really think you’re impressive just because you have the Rolle family behind you?”

Aries spoke even more unrestrained, “Do you know that a person like you is just a toy boy, a loser who doesn’t know anything, in our eyes?”

The coldness in Alger’s eyes became stronger. The next second, he walked up to Aries and gave Aries a slap.

“I didn’t want to hit you, but you truly don’t know chalk from cheese. I’m giving you a lesson for Winnie this time!”

Alger’s slap made everyone dumbfounded. Apparently, they had never thought Alger would hit Aries in front of the Duke of Rolle. But, things that made them more astonished soon followed.

They only saw Alger kick Aries with his foot. Aries was immediately knocked down on the ground, looking extremely haggard.

“This is to punish you for your parents. They’re your seniors. You should respect them when you see them!”

The Duke of Rolle was astonished.

Everyone was astonished!

They had never thought Alger would suddenly do such things. After all, no matter how Aries bullied or humiliated him in the past, he had always just remained silent.

But now, he had slapped Aries, in front of the Duke of Rolle!

Aries was also startled. When he finally reacted, he was furious. “You bastard slapped me?!”

Alger came up and looked at Aries. He said with a deep voice, “What’s wrong with slapping you? What you did and the things you said aren’t something a junior or a brother should do or say!”

Once Alger finished speaking, he gave Aries a slap again. This time, Aries’ face immediately became swollen.

After seeing this scene, Dick was extremely enraged. Just when he was about to speak, he heard the Duke of Rolle say with a deep voice, “Aries, apologize.”

The Duke of Rolle knew that Alger was doing these things to make him talk. If he didn’t, Alger would probably continue to beat Aries up.

After all, Alger didn’t care about anything else right now.

Besides, it wasn’t a big deal for Aries to apologize, but if this contract was really gone, the entire Rolle family would be affected!

The Duke of Rolle certainly knew which of these two things were more important.

“What?” Aries was startled. He then said with a reluctant look, “But Grandpa, Alger hit me like this. How can I…”

“Otherwise, you won’t be a member of the Rolle family anymore from now on!”

The Duke of Rolle said again with a deep voice.

This time, Aries was completely stunned.

He was extremely unwilling, but he had to yield in resignation. He looked at Winnie with dissatisfaction and said, “I’m sorry!”

Winnie was shocked. She had never thought Aries would ever apologize to her!

The Duke of Rolle looked at Alger, as if he was waiting for Alger’s response.

Alger looked at the Duke of Rolle and said, “Alright, now that he has apologized, Winnie will certainly help the company deal with the contract. However, it’s quite late now. We should wait until tomorrow.”

“Grandpa, if you want to stay here for dinner, I can go to cook now.”
