Mommy, Please Marry My Daddy (Kamryn)

Nicole trembled in fear as she thought about this.

Rose was so caught up in the matter that she didn’t notice Nicole’s distress right away. She tried to reassure her, saying. “Zackery, don’t worry, I’ll talk to him later. Considering how long our families have been friends, he wouldn’t do something so

extreme.

Zackery snorted, brushing off her words, saying, “Oh, come on! What are you going to say to him? Friendship? I see this guy has been bewitched. Instead of marrying Nicole, he wants to marry a divorced woman. And now you’re hoping he’ll respect your friendship. Talking to him will only make him set a trap for you.”

He stopped for a moment, then sneered, his eyes dark. “I can say no to giving him the 200 million dollars. But he came up with another condition. I have a piece of prime land in my hands, and he wants me to use my influence to give it to him.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Wilson got nervous and asked immediately, “Is it the land in Silvester?”

Zackery’s face turned grim, but he didn’t say anything.

Wilson’s heart skipped a beat, realizing that Charlie must have made such a demand since Zackery didn’t refuse it immediately.

Tears ran down Nicole’s face. She knew very well that if her father just gave away that piece of land to Charlie, it wouldn’t just be about 200 million dollars.

That land was priceless, with huge economic benefits. The impact on her father’s position because of this bidding project was huge.

If it went well, the future of the Duarte Group under her father’s leadership would be amazing.

Wilson asked in worry, “Dad, you wouldn’t really give that land away, would you?”

“What else can I do? Should I just watch the Duarte family’s scandal become the talk of the town because of this guy? I can’t afford to lose face, and neither can our family. Besides, your grandfather is getting old.”

Charlie knew exactly how to hit someone’s weak spot

In this matter, Zackery really couldn’t afford to lose.

He suddenly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then something crossed his mind. His eyes snapped open, and he looked hard at Wilson, pressing him, asking, “Didn’t I ask you to temporarily keep a bank account for me?”

Nicole’s mind went blank as she heard this, and her face turned white as a sheet.

Zackery didn’t notice Nicole’s sudden change; he was only focused on the money in that bank account. After a moment of thought, he said in a deep voice, “I remember there were over 40 million dollars in that account”

He felt relieved like a drowning person grabbing the last straw. He leaned forward and said eagerly, “You need to write a check for it tomorrow, first thing in the morning”

“Dad”

Nicole hung her head, too scared to continue her words. Her face showed extreme guilt, as if she were caught in a web of anuety. She nervously clutched her dress, biting her red lips so hard that they bled, as if they were about to burst. Wilson looked at Marina, his brows furrowed with worry.

He also saw that the funds in the account had been used, and he had a bad feeling that Nicole was behind it. But he didn’t dare to say anything

Zackery, on the other hand, was very sharp He quickly sensed Wilson’s unease and couldn’t help but ask, “Where did that money go

T

Zackery started to doubt Wilson and asked in a low, threatening voice, “You didn’t betray my trust and waste it, did you?”

11:01 AM

Wilson clenched his fist but stayed quiet.

He had been managing the account well all this time, but this one mistake turned out to be fatal.

He had guarded against everyone but failed to protect against his own man.

And Nicole was the one.

Nicole saw Wilson’s pained face and knew that Wilson was protecting her, not wanting to betray her. So, before Zackery blew up, she gathered her courage to grab Zackery’s arm, looked up at him, and admitted through gritted teeth, “It was me.”

Zackery was shocked, almost repeating Rose’s words, “What?”

“It’s me who used that money, Nicole cried out in despair.

She held her head tightly, almost ignoring everything as she told the truth. “I needed the money for my plan. Artificial insemination costs a lot, not to mention the sacrifices I had to make to get those things. So, I set my sights on that money. I thought my plan was foolproof, and I thought I could quickly fill up that amount. But… but I messed up.”

Her words were enough to send Zackery into a dark abyss. The world spun around him, and when he finally snapped out of it, he yelled in disbelief. “Nicole! Have you lost your mind?”

His loud sound even startled the driver, whose wrist shook, almost swerving the car.

He looked nervously at the rearview mirror, holding the wheel tightly, totally rattled by Zackery’s angry roar.

Zackery fumed, “How dare you steal that money? Do you know that

“Dad!”

the company’s lifeline?”

Nicole cried her eyes out, filled with regret, and begged, “It’s my fault. I know I screwed up. If you hate me, you can curse me, hit me, or even kill me, I don’t care since I don’t want to live any longer. I’ve shamed you, Mom, and the whole family! Go ahead and choke me! I know I screwed up.”

She collapsed and sobbed uncontrollably.

Zackery was boiling with anger, grinding his teeth. Seeing Nicole’s behavior, he lifted his hand and was about to smack her in the face.

Rose acted fast, covering Nicole in her arms and stopping him just in time. She begged anxiously, “Zackery, calm down! Please calm down!!

“How can I calm down? I have a rebellious daughter like her. I wish… I wish…”

“It’s too late, and there’s no point now. Nicole already knows she messed up. I believe she really knows she messed up and won’t do such stupid things again. Just this once; give her one more chance, please.”

Rose begged desperately, holding Nicole tight in her arms, curling up with her.
