Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 167

Ch-166

“You failed to raise him well,”

This line made Regan’s heart shatter in pieces. His wife wanted everyone to praise his son in everything. She wanted everyone to praise him and herself saying that he was raised well. But in the end, Cedric got the tag that he wasn’t raised well.

Indeed, if some bastard did this to his daughter, he would turn this city upside down and create a blood bath.

He walked ahead in a daze as he lowered his head. Katherine wantedly brought her father here. Because she wanted to show him the seriousness of the matter and also she wanted to make him understand that this thing maynot be what it seemed to be. With a sigh, she walked along with her father as she held his hand.

“Kathy,” Katherine heard Valene’s voice. She turned her head and looked at the equally handsome man as her brother.

“Yes, brother?” she called. Valene felt like shit for having that kind of false feelings towards her previously.

“Myna resigned. Let her go,”  Valene said and turned around.

Katherine wanted to say something but he was already gone. Sighing, she decided to get it done. She knew her brother would do something to Myna by not accepting her resignation.

Regan who listened to Valene’s words, felt another knife stabbed into his heart.

“Let her go…”

Does it mean he views them as monsters?

He didn’t mean that right? But in actual fact, he did. And even Regan knew what he meant.

This was the first time, he felt insulted but he knew the other party was not wrong but he and his son.

One thing he didn’t get was, why Katherine lied to him? Does she want her father to face humiliation? She won’t. But there must be a reason for this right?

“Why?” he asked Katherine the moment he entered the car.

“Because he was planning something and that involves Eleanor getting hurt for her own good. But… even I don’t understand why he was torturing her and himself,” Katherine said.

“Whatever might be the reason… as a man he should choose a way that protects his woman. One thing Aiden where right was… I didn’t raise him well. I disappointed everyone, you, your mother, the woman whom he claimed to love, and everyone around me. He is such a disappointment,” Regan said with a sad sigh.

How he wished he has his wife alive to encourage or console him saying everything would be fine. But it was all just an illusion for him. He felt the void in his heart turn deeper and hollower. His gaze turned deeper and narrower. His cold aura and his dangerous nature which he hid at the bottom of his soul reappeared making others fear him.

“Dad…” Katherine called out feeling odd around her father for the first time in her life. Despite how he was… he had always been loving around her and made her comfortable around him. But today… he looked different.

Katherine knew what happened with him and with his behavior. She hoped he would go back to normal by tomorrow.

“It’s Nathaira,” Katharine said.

“In the sense?” Regan asked. He knew what she was insinuating but he just wanted to confirm it.

“She is brother’s mistress. And the Callan’s are happy with these things,” Katherine said.

“Callan’s… maybe they need to be taught a lesson a bit,” Regan added.

“What about the collaboration between Zora and Emerson groups. Uncle is ready to give up everything and start from scratch,” Regan said.

“I know how to deal with this. If his strength is his daughter and she is a weakness too,” Regan muttered.

Katherine understood what he was going to do.

“Drop me off at the police station,” she said and sighed.

Regan nodded and drove to the station. When Katherine was about to get off, she stopped and looked at her father.

“He is in this station itself. Do you want to meet him?” Katherine asked, hoping that he would see her brother’s pathetic condition and help him get out of the rotten cell. But looks the things weren’t going to be worked in the same way she thought.

“He deserves that. I am not going to get him out.” Regan said and turned his head aside.

Katherine sighed and climbed off the car. “Dad, bye,” she said and waved her hand. Regan nodded his head and left the place.

He needs to make a plan to keep the collaboration with Emerson. Maybe he should hand over those projects to his shell companies hiding the name of Emerson’s. He needs to make arrangements for that.

Driving straight to the company he started drafting the papers. Aiden drove to the Zora groups. He doesn’t know from where he should start. But he decided to start with Cedric. So he called everyone he could to lock Cedric in the jail.

After nearly three hours of phone calls, he was sure that Cedric would stay behind the bars for no less than three days. He slumped on the couch lazily as he felt tired. He called the canteen staff and ordered them to get some food for him.

After having the food, he was fretting on whether he should call for a complete board meeting or not. But this thing would get to known to them one day or other.

Finally, he decided to call the board meeting. Picking his phone, he was about to call his secretary to arrange a meeting. But his secretary itself was calling him.

“Sir,” His secretary said.

“Yes?” Aiden asked.

“Sir, the projects in which we are involved with Emerson groups are shifted to Debora groups. The official announcement isn’t made. But it will be done in an hour. Sir, what should we reply as our stand here?” his secretary asked.

“We are glad that we got an opportunity to work with another great company. And we are looking forward to their collaboration. Say this as our words. Be positive as much as possible,” Aiden said.

“Ok, Sir,” with that the secretary hung the call. Even though Aiden felt something was wrong… he just decided to go with the flow. This means… their company will be saved. Now he can wholeheartedly focus on saving his daughter.

Walking upstairs, he saw Valene helping Eleanor drink water. Such a pity… he wasn’t his son-in-law.

“Nora,” he called Eleanor, who was drinking water.

“Yes, Dad,” Eleanor replied weakly.

“There is good news,” he said with a smile.

“What was that?” she asked with a weak smile.

“That is… Emerson groups backed off from all the collaborations which involved Zora groups. Now we are dealing with Deborah groups.

“Another thing is… from the doctor’s words your brother will wake up in a month.” Aiden said. The first thing didn’t make her happy or sad. She was just glad that they doesn’t need to deal with Emerson’s groups because of work. She just wanted to finish those collaborations with a polite face.

But when she heard another good news, she was over the moon. If not for her condition… she would jump in joy and happiness.

“That’s a really good thing,” Eleanor said.

“What about Myna? Did he trouble her?” Eleanor asked feeling concerned about her.

“Nope. He is still in jail. I spoke with Katherine, she said she would handle it,” Valene said.

“Sigh… she is sacrificing everything for us. I wish she has a good and peaceful life at least from now on,” Eleanor said.

“I only wish Martin loves her back,” Aiden commented.

“Dad… stop rubbing your wishes on her. She waited for him nearly for ten years. But still brother sees her as a sister. Let her accept the man who deserves her truly. BRother… Despite being good, he isn’t fit for her. Someone like Brother Valene is good for her,” Eleanor said.

“Indeed… I can’t be selfish. Sigh… I hope god bless her with happiness and make her meet her true soulmate. She is such good child,” Aiden commented.

“Dad… why don…” when Eleanor wanted to say something her phone rang.

She chuckled seeing the name flashed on her screen.

“Speaking of the devil. See she is calling.” Eleanor said with a chuckle.

“Hello,” Eleanor said the moment she picked the call. Seeing Aiden asking her to put the call hands-free. She did it. But that was her mistake to do that.

“You stupid dumb idiot! HOW DARE YOU NOT TO TELL THIS IMPORTANT THING!? HUH!? DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS!? I AM ON MY WAY TO YOUR PLACE?! IF YOU RUN AWAY!? I SWEAR I WILL HUNT YOU TO THE END OF THE WORLD!?” Myna’s angry voice could be heard. Before she could say something… the call was hung.

“Dad… I am scared. I shall hide. On her way… in the sense… she must be a minute distance from here.” Eleanor grumbled. Standing up from her place, she bent down to crawl under the bed. But she came out the very second and started searching again.

“She will find me under the bed. I shall find another place,” she muttered and started pacing around the room.

“CLOSET!!” Eleanor yelled realizing that there was a good place in her room to hide.

She jumped inside her closet but again emerged out of it.

“No… no… no…she will find out.. Where shall I hide?” she was grumbling under her breath.
