Seeing Alger act like nothing happened just now, Aries was even more enraged as he gritted his teeth.

How would they still be in the mood to eat here after a fuss like that?

In reply, the Duke of Rolle said with a deep voice, “I’ll not eat with you. I hope you won’t forget about this!”

After that, he gave Alger a deep gaze, then left with Aries and the others.

When the Duke of Rolle and the others left, Winnie and Madam Bella were still looking shocked. Apparently, they still couldn’t collect themselves from what happened just then.

Alger was indeed too fierce just now. He didn’t seem like the same person as the Alger from before.

Seeing Winnie and Madam Bella look at him, Alger said without changing his expression, “Why are you staring at me? It’s late. I should go cook.”

“Winnie, just go to Bode Real Estate tomorrow. I’m sure there won’t be any problems!”

He went into the kitchen after saying this, as if he had returned to the way he was before.

Even though Winnie felt very confused in her mind, she didn’t think too much, as Winnie instinctively believed in Alger right now.

So, the next day.

Winnie came to Bode Real Estate early. Same as last time, the receptionist took Winnie to the office.

Then, the General Manager, Ibre, came to greet her enthusiastically. When Winnie spoke, she also intended to discuss with Ibre about the new business of Rolle Corporation.

However, Ibre didn’t seem to care about it very much, which made Winnie a little confused in her mind.

If Ibre didn’t care about it, why did he agree to invest in the company?

Their money shouldn’t have come from the wind, right?

Winnie hesitated again. She looked at Ibre and said, “Mr. Ibre, I think you can consider this matter again, and if I sign…”

“It’s alright, Miss Winnie.” Ibre directly shook his head with a smile and said, “It’ll be fine for you to sign it. After you stamp the contract, the money will be transferred to your company’s account right away.”

So, Winnie still signed her name in confusion.

When Winnie took the contract back, the Duke of Rolle smiled from ear to ear.

After a while, they even received a notice, saying that the money had already been transferred.

This made the Duke of Rolle even more thrilled. This way, Rolle Corporation would be taken to a new height!

Winnie was also delighted when she saw how excited the Duke of Rolle was. She felt like she did something for the company.

The Duke of Rolle looked at Winnie and said, “Winnie, you did very well this time. That’s all for now. You can go back.”

“Okay!” Winnie didn’t think much. She nodded and immediately went back.

But the moment Winnie left, the smile on the face of the Duke of Rolle also darkened gradually.

If Winnie was there, she would definitely be stunned by how fast the Duke of Rolle changed his expression. However, Winnie wasn’t here. She went to the hospital to see Madam Linda.

Meanwhile, Alger was reading some basic information in the office.

Then, Lisana knocked and entered with an invitation card in her hands.

“Sir, this is an invitation card from Rolle Corporation.”

After seeing the invitation card, Alger frowned and said, “The Duke of Rolle wants to hold a banquet two days later?”

For a second, Alger thought the Duke of Rolle was moved because Winnie got such a great deal for the company, so he wanted to organize a celebratory banquet for her.

However, what made Alger confused was that it wasn’t necessary to invite people at Youssie Corporation to go if that was the only purpose.

“Did they send it to us only?” Alger asked in confusion.

“No.” Lisana shook her head and replied, “Bode Real Estate also got it. I also heard that the Duke of Rolle invited many famous businessmen.”

“I see…”

Alger nodded. Basically, he also understood what was going on. Apparently, the Duke of Rolle wanted to show off in front of everyone else, as Youssie Corporation was one of the best corporations here.

After finishing everything, Alger went to see Madam Linda at the hospital before going home afterwards.

When he arrived there, Madam Linda told him that Winnie had come to see her in the afternoon and they even talked a lot. She was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law of hers, Winnie.

This made Alger feel very happy. He had never thought Winnie would come to see Madam Linda herself.

On the way home, Alger got a call from his birth mother, Madam Lisa.

“Alger, is Winnie’s birthday in two days?” Madam Lisa on the other side of the phone seemed to be delighted.

Alger was surprised why Madam Lisa knew about it at first, but after thinking a while, it was pretty normal. After all, Madam Lisa’s identity and status weren’t simple. It was certainly an easy thing for her to look for Winnie’s information.

So, Alger nodded and said, “Yeah.”

“I see. So, how are you celebrating it?” Madam Lisa asked.

Thinking of the address on the invitation card the Duke of Rolle sent him, Alger directly said, “I’ll bring Winnie to Philadelphia Hotel for a birthday banquet that day.”

“Great! I’ll see if I can go back and spend time with you!” Madam Lisa said, “I have asked someone in the company to help me prepare a birthday present for Winnie.”

“It should be in the Rolle family now. It’s a white jade. Give Winnie a heads up.”

After the two of them finished talking, Alger hung up the call and rushed back.

When Alger was home, Winnie saw him and she said with a smile, “You’re back?”

“Hm!” Alger nodded and replied, “I went to the hospital to see Mom. She said that you visited her this afternoon?”

“Yea.” Winnie nodded with a smile and said, “I think I haven’t been visiting her much before, so I felt a bit sorry.”

Alger was touched. He said, “It’s okay. You can come again when you’re not busy. After all, the company is starting a new business right now. You should be quite busy.”

Winnie shook her head and said with a smile, “No, it’s not starting right away. Besides, Grandpa still hasn’t told us who exactly will be in charge of the new business.”

“What?” Alger frowned and said to Winnie, “Grandpa still hasn’t announced it?”

“No.”

“It’s alright. I guess he’ll tell you about it after a couple days,” Alger said subconsciously.

“Hm? Why after a couple days?” Winnie looked at Alger in confusion and said.

Alger frowned slightly as he glanced at Winnie’s expression.. It seemed like she truly didn’t know what was going on.
