My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 593

The way she put it was most affectionate. She was the most talented of her generation and by right deserved to stand beside Carlisle.

'And what woman is nothing!"

'So what if she got the favor of the master of the house? She cannot help Carlisle in terms of his career or other matters. For him to get her to resolve the crisis the Turmann family is facing, the master must be crazy!'

Thinking of this, Vera raised her head proudly as she waited for Carl's affirmation.

Yet, Carl straight up ignored her as he only gave her a cold, mocking glance before chasing after Nicole and walking out with the latter. Vera could only watch as Carl left just like that. She grasped the arm of one of the girls firmly, causing the latter to scream out in pain. Vera then glanced at her and gave an insincere apology.

"Sorry."

She may be saying that, but as she looked at the two departing figures, a veil of menace appeared over her sweet - looking face.

'This woman. She dares to seduce my Carlisle! I'll make her pay for that!' Nicole did not know what Vera was thinking as she slowly made her way downstairs. Many people were already gathered in the hall, each of them sitting upright as if they were waiting for something.

Elijah was still squinting lazily as usual.

Yet, Nicole could sense that he was also a little nervous about what was about to happen.

His entire person was unprecedentedly tensed.

Seeing this, Nicole frowned a little.

'Who exactly is making Elijah so tensed?"

The two walked over to the dining table, and Elijah looked up to see his son and Nicole walking over, a smile appearing on his face.

"You're here." Nicole nodded.

She then naturally sat beside Elijah amidst everyone's gaze, her composure calm as ever.

Elijah looked at her and was very satisfied. He secretly gave his useless son a number of winks.

Unfortunately, perhaps because he was squinting, or Carl could not be bothered to pay any attention to him, he got no response.

Elijah then withdrew his gaze with some disappointment. His son had liked Nicole for a good while now.

Yet the boy did not say anything to her and was getting along with Nicole just like a friend.

'There was a saying that the early bird gets the worm, yet why didn't it work with Nicole?! Elijah sighed for a while, and as he thought of the person he was about to face, a grim look appeared in his eyes. To shift his attention away, he turned and started chatting with Nicole, only for Carl to hear him ask, "Nicole, what sort of man do you like? What do you think of Carl?"

Carl immediately froze as he did not even have the courage to look at Nicole.

His gaze simply wandered between the food on the table. He felt like strangling his father, yet he was anticipating within as well.

Elijah's voice was not soft, and everyone heard his question as they looked over in surprise.

'What does the master mean? Does he mean to make this girl the future matriarch of the Turmann family?"

'Carl was very likely the next head of the Turmann family. With Elijah's attitude, is he giving up the various aristocratic ladies waiting for Carlisle's hand in Mecrounia and letting him marry this nobody of a Hustuaburgian woman?"
