Chapter 60 What are you trying to do?
Cassie clearly understood this reasoning. She was about to mention the matter of the fine when Dermot unexpectedly spoke first, saying, "Fortunately, it was only a fine. After paying the taxes and organizing the company's finances, it shouldn't lead to imprisonment."
Cassie bit her lip and then slowly said, "But the fine is quite a large number. My father... can't come up with it."
As soon as she said this, Dermot furrowed instantly.
He looked at Cassie and said, "It's just a few billion dollars in fines, and the Ackers family can't come up with it?"
"My father..."
"Cassie, you're an adult now, you need to think for yourself. Your father’s words are not an edict," Dermot interrupted her, clearly displeased.
Cassie felt a shock and then a strong sense of unease.
In all these years, it was the first time Dermot had spoken to her with such a stern tone.
"I understand, Dermot. Let my father handle this on his own。 I won't interfere anymore." If she continued to involve Dermot and ask for his help, it would only make him resent her.
To her, neither her parents nor the Ackers family was as important as the man in front of her.
But...
She remembered the words she had just heard outside the door, that Dr. Kyte was Dermot's ex-wife...
She used to think of Dermot's ex-wife as a country bumpkin, although she had never seen her, but now that she knew she was so powerful, and more importantly, Dermot had always been ambiguous towards her, she couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't take it a step further.
In the unlikely event that they got back together...
Cassie dared not think further.
No, she had to do something.
"Dermot, let's have lunch together. We haven't eaten together for a long time." She smiled and spoke up.
However, Dermot was not in the mood to have lunch with her, waving his hand and saying, "I'm busy today Let's do it another day."
Cassie felt complicated. In the past, when she asked Dermot to have a meal together, this man would rarely refuse, but now...
Dr. Kyte...
Evelyn...
Whoever you are, I won't let you take Dermot away from me.
For lunch, Congee Flavor.
After Dermot ordered takeout from this place once, Evelyn had been thinking about it. Finally, when the weekend came and she didn't have to work, she made an appointment with Ruby Kite to try it out together.
However.
Evelyn looked at the time and half an hour had already passed since the agreed upon time, but
Ruby Kite still hadn't arrived, which worried her.
Ten minutes later, Evelyn received a call from Ruby Kite.
"Sorry, Evelyn. Something came up at work today. I'm afraid I can't have lunch with you," she said, glancing angrily at the man sitting across from her, suppressing her anger.
Hearing her words, Evelyn almost became angry.
"What can't wait until after dinner? I've already saved it for you," she said.
Looking at the full table, she couldn't help but feel upset.
"I'm sorry, Evelyn. I really can't make it."
Evelyn, feeling helpless, could tell that Ruby Kite was also very embarrassed, so she said, "Okay, just let me know in advance next time you can't make it."
After hanging up the phone, Ruby Kite angrily asked the man opposite her, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
On the other side, Evelyn looked at the table full of dishes, lost in thought.
Should she force herself to finish it or should she pack it up and take it home to eat later?
Just as she was struggling with this decision, a figure sat down opposite her, and when Evelyn saw who it was, her expression instantly turned sour.
"Mr. Doyle, it's not very appropriate for you to sit here without my permission, is it?"
