Chapter 24: Do You Want to Remarry?
Gail frowned. But in the next second, her face was replaced with a decent and gentle smile. Shewithdrew her hand embarrassingly.
“Nina, Gail is concerned about you,” Jenny made a sound to save Gail.
She said to Nina, “Why don’t you give me a hug?”
Nina shook her head without thinking. When Jason came over, she quickly stretched out her hands toher dad, ‘I want Dad to hug me.’
Jason looked down at her. He couldn’t refuse her. The man hugged Nina into his arms, frowned, andsaid to the two uninvited guests, “I will take care of her at night. You can go back.”
After hearing what he said, Jenny immediately became unhappy, “Why did you say? How can I restassured especially at night? This is my precious granddaughter. I will go back later.”
While speaking of this, she glanced at Gail next to her. Jenny didn’t know what do. Her face was a littlebad, and she said, “Gail will stay here too.”
Gail was secretly happy, and nodded obediently. Meanwhile, Jason frowned. He was too lazy to sayanything. The man then went upstairs with Nina in his arms. and reported, “Aletta, someone is lookingfor you. They came early in the morning. They are waiting in the reception. room now.”
“Who is it?” Aletta was a little puzzled.
When she returned to America this time, she did not contact anyone except Flora. With puzzledthoughts, Aletta went to the reception room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a familiar face.It was the old housekeeper of Donovan Hill.
“Barret?” Aletta was a little surprised.
When the old housekeeper saw Aletta, he couldn’t even recognize her immediately. The difference wasreally too huge.
However, Barret quickly put on a friendly smile and shouted respectfully, “Young Madam, long time nosee.”
“I haven’t seen you for a long time,” Aletta responded politely to the old housekeeper.
“Barret, I’m not a member of the Hill Family anymore. So, don’t call me that. If you don’t mind, call meMs. Rogers.”
Barret hesitated for a while and said, “It’s better to call you Ms. Alta.”
Aletta had no objection. She just asked, “You came to see me? What’s the matter?”
“It was Mr. Hill who asked me to come here. He heard that you were returning to America, and wantedto invite you back to the Hill Villa.”
The old housekeeper conveyed Donovan’s instructions to Aletta, “He has not been in good health allthese years, but he has always talked about you. He misses you very much and worries that you arenot doing well outside.”
Aletta didn’t speak. Actually, she didn’t want to have anything to do with the Hill Family anymore.However, upon thinking of that wise and kind old man, her heart was somewhat touched.
Back then, during the two years of marriage with Jason, it was only Donovan who really loved her ashis granddaughter-in-law. Whenever Jenny was picky and tried to replace her fault, he would speak forAletta. Sadly, that marriage ended too hastily. So, Aletta couldn’t say goodbye to Donovan properly.
Aletta had mixed feelings in her heart. In the end, she agreed, “Okay, I will go. Please send mygreetings to Mr. Hill.”
Barret got the reply. With a smile on his face, he said truthfully, “Okay, Miss Alta. If you can come, hewill be very happy.”
“Go ahead. Thank you as well.”
After finished, Barret hurriedly bid farewell and left. Upon seeing that the person left, Aletta collectedher thoughts and went back to the office. After finishing all the work quickly, she caught a glimpse ofthe document that was pressed at the bottom. It was the proposal that Jason came over to give thatday.
Aletta hesitated for a moment. Afterward, she reached out to bring the planning book, and carefullyread it. After reading them one by one, Aletta admitted that she was a little moved. The conditionsoffered by that man were very generous. It was simply an unconditional channel in disguise.
‘I don’t know. I thought he was here to ‘help the poor’, after reading the last line, Aletta was almostcompletely shaken.
However, in the end, reason prevailed. She didn’t forget the additional conditions that Jason hadoffered. Upon thinking of this, the woman cruelly closed the proposal and pressed the internal line,“Annie, come in.”
Annie opened the door and walked in after a while, “Aletta, how can I help you?”
“Reject this cooperation for me,” Aletta threw the proposal to her.
Annie glanced at it and immediately understood. She asked, “Do you need to explain the reason for therejection to the other party?”
“No need to do that. The reason is that we simply don’t want to cooperate,” Her tone was slightly cold.
Annie felt that Aletta seemed unhappy. But, she didn’t ask any further questions. The womanimmediately nodded and agreed, “Okay, I’ll do it now.”
Aletta watched Annie leave, and her gaze became a little colder. At the beginning, Gail used thisreason to frame her. So, let her bear the infamy for no reason and suffered countless grievances aswell as pains.
Jason wanted to use this as a bargaining chip, but he was dreaming. How good were the conditions? IfAletta didn’t want it, who could force her?

At Hill Villa.
As soon as Jason put his daughter to sleep and went to the study, Eaton came in to report, “Sir, thepeople from the ZL, Company just called and returned our proposal. It had indicated that it was Aletta.”
When Jason heard this, his face turned cold. He had always. been impatient. His style of acting wasalways swift and decisive. Now, for the sake of Aletta several times and at the expense of lowering hisown value, Jason took the initiative to invite cooperation. The man even made the biggest concessionon the contract. All of that had made him lose enough face. Unexpectedly, the other party refused tobuy it over and over again.
“What reason?” Jason rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little irritable.
Eaton hesitated for a while, and answered, “They didn’t say anything.”
Jason frowned. When he was just about to speak, the door of his office was suddenly pushed openfrom the outside.
His mother came in from the outside slowly. She said to Jason, “Jason, I have something to talk to youabout.”
The man coldly said, “What’s the matter?”
Jenny didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly, “I heard that Aletta is back. Is this true?”
Jason frowned even deeper and looked at his mother coldly, “You came today mainly for this matter,right?”
Taking care of Nina during the night was just an excuse. Jenny deliberately did not want to leave onlyfor this moment.
And Jenny didn’t deny it either, “So what? Can’t I still ask? How could Aletta have the gut to comeback? And you…”
She looked at her son, “That night, someone saw you taking Aletta. What do you mean? You aredivorced. What are you doing with her? Don’t tell me that you still want to remarry that vicious woman?”
When Jason heard the repeated questioning, his face became colder. He didn’t answer, but he didn’tdeny it either.
Jenny thought what she said was right. So, her anger immediately came up. She said in a strict voice,“I tell you. Don’t even think about it. Since the beginning, that vicious woman has just hurt Gail andabandoned her two children cruelly. She is a cold-hearted woman. Do you think she is worthy to bewith you and become a member of the Hill Family?”
