Chapter 5: Which man in Cloud City would dare to marry you?
In front of the Delahoz family villa
Allyce got out of the car looking quite calm.
As she had arranged to meet Casimiro, she was not wearing make-up and was dressed very simply, without bright colours. She hoped her subtle changes would make him less angry. She had her own purpose for being here today, apart from being scolded.
After taking a deep breath, Allyce went inside.
As soon as he entered the room he saw a group of people sitting in a circle. casimiro was sitting in the centre and senona was sitting obediently to one side, the two were talking and laughing.
“Grandfather, I’m back.
Casimiro’s smile disappeared for a moment. He frowned as if he was looking at something disgusting”. You bastard, now you’re back at last!” . I’ve only been gone a day and look what you’ve done!”
With those words, he threw a pile of photos at her. They were pictures of her sitting naked under the covers in the morning. Even if they have not been reported, they still exist.
For those in power, their reputation has long been badly damaged.
“Grandfather, I can explain these images.” Allyce looked absently at Senona.
The photos were real, but it was Senona’s way of setting him up. She was afraid Casimiro wouldn’t believe her.
“Has he ever admitted his mistakes since he was a child? These pictures are not faked.” Casimir suddenly stood up and pointed to Allyce’s face.
He no doubt chose to believe Senona as wholeheartedly as before. allyce gave Casimir a derisive look: “I didn’t do it, so why should I admit my mistake?
“Slap!”
Casimiro slapped her inexorably: “At this point, you still won’t admit your mistake, let alone correct it! Is it so hard to admit a mistake? Like father, like son”.
Casimiro slapped Allyce with almost everything he had, and Allyce staggered a little from the slap. She grabbed the back of the sofa to steady herself as she felt something ringing in her ears.
Allyce looked at Casimiro in disbelief, her tone changed by the pain in her heart: “Grandfather, my father is your son. Others don’t believe him, why don’t you?
“The reputation of the Delahoz family has been ruined by you two!”
If it had been Senona who had said those words, Allyce would have jumped up and ripped her mouth off, but it was Casimiro who spoke, and he was the one with the most power in the Delahoz family. More importantly, she respects him.
Senona came to Casimiro’s side and gently reassured him: “Grandfather, don’t get too upset. He was only young and he made a mistake.
“As she has always been like that, she had to change her character. I have forgiven her over and over again, but she never knows how to repent!”
Forgive her? He didn’t even care about that!
Allyce’s face hurt, but the pain in her heart hurt even more.
She thought that if she tried hard enough, Casimiro would one day be nicer to her, but Senona’s return, with all the holes in her tricks, had completely convinced Casimiro.
This is not their home at all.
“I will not admit to things I have not done and I will not leave the Delahoz family. My father has already given me his share. I am twenty-two years old. I’m old enough to inherit those shares”.
“You!” Casimir didn’t expect Allyce to contradict him like that. He staggered a little in anger and shouted at her.” And you want shares? What man in Cloud City would dare marry you, if you want your shares, marry first!”
“I deserve it!” He could not believe that Casimiro would shamelessly compete for the shares his father had given him.
“What the daughters of the Delahoz family deserve, is not necessarily what you deserve!” Casimir glared at Allyce. This granddaughter was becoming ridiculous.
Was he going to expel her from the family and steal her shares?
It was summer, but Allyce was chilled by these icy words. She dared not say more, for at that moment Casimir seemed to regard her as an enemy.
If she irritated him further, he could expel her from the Delahoz family without giving her a penny.
She didn’t mind being the second daughter in the Delaho family, but her father in prison did.
“Grandfather, will you keep your promise? As soon as I get married, you will give me the shares, won’t you?”
