Her Secret Mate

Chapter 33 He Was Serious

Her eyes were tightly closed. She was very calm. She wouldn't have her heart beat fast because of

him.

"I'm just kidding. Be careful these days. There might be people coming to you."

And Rita must be a fuse. She was closely connected with her as he knew that she would be involved.

So he needed to give her a warning in advance.

Hearing his words, Fiona was confused and didn't know what to say. Did she mean that someone

wanted to make trouble for her?

Seeing she was a little nervous, Jeremy promised her very seriously, "Don't worry. I won't let anyone

hurt you."

The man's sincere expression made her feel moved, "Then remember what you said, don't break your

promise."

Fiona didn't expect that Phil would come to her in person in such a short time.

As soon as class was over, he received a call from the teacher and came to his office, but he didn't

expect to see an energetic man sitting there. He had a serious look and his gray hair was combed up

meticulously. He looked overbearing, which was enough for people to take a few steps back.

The scene that Phil had thrown the cup to the air and slapped on Jeremy's back kept resounding in

Fiona's mind.

The bruises on Jeremy's back were obvious that he had hit him really hard.

Due to Phil's ability to be tough, it was proved that he was a capable man and was not to be trifled with.

No wonder that Jeremy had told her in advance.

She had already reached this step and it was too late to step back. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She knocked on the door and walked up to Phil respectfully, holding her head high in a manner neither

overbearing nor servile.

With an expressionless face, Phil took a sip of tea and motioned the teacher to go out. He had

something to talk with Fiona.

Then, Fiona broke the silence and asked, "Grandpa, why do you come to the school to see me?" She

couldn't let herself be in a passive position.

"Clap!"

Furiously, Phil pounded the table with his hand, and his face turned livid with rage, looking straight at

her with his sharp and ferocious eyes.

"What do you think you are? How dare you treat me like this? "

"Haha!" With a fake smile, Fiona said, "Grandpa, we are family. Jeremy and I got married and you saw

our marriage certificate. You say I am not a good person. It's not only insulting Jeremy, but..."

"But what?"

Being so eloquent at such a young age, Phil didn't like this girl.

With her eyes half closed, Fiona said apologetically, "Grandpa, I'm a member of the Fu family. Since

you say I'm not a good person, then the Fu family is not good either."

Didn't Phil consider about the feelings of others when he treated Fiona and despised her?

She wasn't a wooden person. She talked back if someone scolded her.

In the past, she had behaved well in the Ling family, and she had obeyed almost everything. Even

though she knew that Aunt Melissa had no affection for her, she still had to wear a smile on her face.

She was willing to take all the tricks from Olivia.

What did she get for her forbearance? She wanted to be her own master.

Phil was so angry that he drank up the rest of the tea in the cup. He breathed a sigh of relief and said,

"Leave Jeremy."

Fiona shook her head.

"Unwilling?" He took out the checkbook and asked, "how much do you want?"

Money. Why did people keep talking about money? For the sake of money and company interests, the

Ling family asked her to marry into the Fu family. At the same time, Phil misunderstood that she

married Jeremy for money.

If she had the right to choose, she would definitely not use money to measure her value.

She was so angry that her face turned red, but she had to endure it. "Of course, I don't want to. If the

daughter-in-law of the Fu family can be measured with money, then the Fu family is too shallow. We

will be laughed at if others know it."

"And..." Fiona waved her mobile phone and deliberately annoyed him, "Grandpa, I'm sorry. I was just

talking with Jeremy on the phone. He didn't allow me to hang up the phone. He heard everything."

"Hey, Fiona!"

To his surprise, he used to be a successful businessman in the first half of his life, and now he was

fooled by the little girl.

Jeremy and he didn't get along well. Now, Jeremy seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

"By the way, Grandpa, if you want to find someone to marry Jeremy, I'm more than happy. After all, I

hope he can find a perfect woman. But forget Rita. Jeremy deserves a better one."

Except for being indecent, Jeremy was not a real scumbag as it was said. She thought he was perfect

for any woman.

But what about her? Her mind was in a mess. She found that she was a little jealous and was afraid

that another woman would appear beside him.

She was just joking. She didn't expect that Phil would believe her. What was more surprising was that

Jeremy had come.

A trace of astonishment flashed across Fiona's face. He was so powerful that he knew where she was,

and she even made fun of Phil.

She realized that she would die soon.

When Jeremy came, he didn't let her talk. He went straight to the point, "Grandpa, I found it was

because of you that the Xia family could leave here safely."

To be honest, he was badly hurt. Rita was an outsider, but Phil was even better to her than him.

He should have known that he didn't have a high position in this family. If it weren't for the fact that

Caspar could only sit in a wheelchair, he wouldn't have had the chance to get into the Fu family.

But he didn't care about the Fu family. What he cared about was how to let them pay the price for what

they had done to his mother and him.

Thinking of what had happened in the past, he clenched his fists and could not let it go.

It never occurred to Fiona that the reason why Rita could leave was because of Phil. No wonder she

left overnight.

"But it's okay if Rita won't come back to hurt others. But Grandpa, I can't promise you what I'll do if she

hurts someone."

He didn't expect that Phil would make such a fuss to see Fiona, and he didn't need to.

He pulled her out. But after they walked a few steps, Fiona stopped.

"What's wrong?" Fiona's heart was bouncing wildly as she asked him.

"You don't trust me?" She let out a sigh of relief. "I'm not that fragile. On the contrary, I think your

grandpa might be very angry with me."

"That's right. He has too much strength. It's ok that you can make him angry to let out some energy."

Staring at the gloomy man in a twinkling of an eye, Fiona asked with a confused look: "Are you two the

grandfather and grandson?"

"Never mind."

"Then you have to tell me everything."

Although Jeremy looked calm and indifferent, he knew that something was bothering him and that

couldn't be solved in a short time.

A family had its own problems. Not everyone was living as happily as they looked.

She heaved a deep sigh. Now that Rita had already left, she should go as far away as possible and

never show up in her world again. She was ok about that.

"You are so considerate."

The sudden praise scared her to death.

Jeremy caressed her hair and said, "I'm serious. Very few people really care about me."

So was he moved?

She couldn't believe that no one cared about the man who had made other rich people to apologize so

easily. How could that be?

"Are you serious?"

Jeremy smiled bitterly. "Do you think I'm kidding?"
