A Crazy One-night Stand

Chapter 6: Scumbag, Let’s Get Married

"I might not love you for the rest of my life."

This was what Wilson said yesterday.

As Alina pondered on this, she suddenly felt relieved. Wilson had said that he was in love with another

person, a woman he could never marry. He only had room for one woman in his heart and no one

else.

She did not know why Wilson and his lover couldn't be together. Perhaps, everybody had to have some

heartache in their past.

This man could be an angel sent by the heavens to save her from her predicament.

His situation was exactly the same as hers.

She was like him, unable to fall in love again because she still had feelings for someone else.

He had a woman who he deeply loved, and she had a man who she could never forget. They can't be

together with the one they truly love.

They were perfectly suited for each other. They could get married even though they were not in love

with each other without any guilt. It was possible to get along like strangers or even friends with the

convenience of marriage. Her mother would be satisfied and she could teach Anne a lesson.

Alina imagined taking her marriage certificate and shoving it in Anne's face, saying, "I am the one

dumping Ken. Don't worry, I am not interested in him. Both of you deserve each other after all!"

Thinking about this, she made up her mind. Swallowing her saliva nervously, Alina called Wilson, "I've Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

decided. Scumbag, let's get married!"

"Okay!" At the other end of the phone, Wilson replied bluntly. There was no emotion in his voice.

Alina let out a sigh of relief after he cut off the call.

Yesterday at the restaurant, they managed to reach an agreement. If they ever decide to get married,

the other person would play the role of a good husband or wife in front of their respective family and

friends.

As for the million-dollar dowry, Wilson said that it was a minuscule sum to him. In her own mind, Alina

also planned to return the dowry to him after she saved up enough.

Alina felt as if a burden was lifted off her shoulders after making the decision.

In the afternoon, someone from the headquarters came to follow up on her email. They verified what

happened and asked her several questions about the design plan. After that, they brought Director Hall

to the headquarters for further questioning.

Alina was on tenterhooks waiting for the outcome of the investigation. Although she was the one who

got the headquarters involved, she didn't know what would happen to her. Furthermore, they might not

believe her if Hall managed to convince them by slandering her.

She quickly organized the evidence she might need to prove her claim. On top of that, she also

prepared a script to explain herself in case Hall tried to turn against her. After all, it was better to be

prepared.

Alina spent another two hours carefully writing down the details of her defence. Before getting off work,

she suddenly received a call from the headquarters. They verified her claim and found out the truth

behind it all. The 200 thousand dollars would be credited to her account later. Hall's wrongdoings would

then be reported to the Adams Family and dealt with harshly.

Alina was dumbfounded by the headquarters' swift actions. She had never thought that the

investigation would go so smoothly.

After hanging up, she looked at the documents on her table and smiled sheepishly.

Alina felt like she was blessed by the goddess of fortune.

A message came, notifying her of the credited money. She opened the message. "Wow, 200 thousand

dollars in my account! I never had so much money before!" So this is what it feels like to be well

compensated.

Her mood suddenly brightened. She invited Rosie to have dinner. After that, she called her mother and

told her she would return home later because she needed to work overtime. Despite her mother

cursing on the phone, Alina had a smile on her lips. Nothing could affect her mood today, not even her

mother.

Rosie and Alina decided to have hotpot for dinner.

They sat across from each other and cooked their dinner in a steaming hotpot. It was comforting to

have something warm for dinner.

"Rosie, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. In just one day, Mr. Hall was taken away. The

headquarters told me they were going to report this to the Adams Family as well. 200 thousand dollars

was credited to me already." Alina couldn't stop beaming widely.

Rosie was ecstatic for Alina. "That's great! That jerk finally has a taste of his own medicine. Right, keep

the money a secret. Don't let your mother know about it."

"Of course! I'm going to use it to pay my dowry!" Alina pondered for a moment and continued, "By the

way, Rosie, I'm getting married!"

Rosie was almost choked on the soup. "What did you say? You are getting married? To whom? Don't

tell me it's Ken?"
