Chapter 451 He Is the One Who Impersonated Mr. Abbott
"Susanna, you're gonna regret this, not us. I ain't letting you or that fake next to you off the hook. When the Abbott Group finds out you're pretending to be their president, you're toast."
Susanna was left speechless by Kayle's rant. She had just said the bodyguard with her was the CEO of the Abbott Group.
But she never thought Kayle wouldn't buy it and would think she just picked some random dude to play the president.
She turned to Aaron and said, "Well, what do you have to say now?"
She'd said her piece; now it was Aaron's turn to step up.
Aaron, the actual president of the Abbott Group, was now being called a fake. She was curious how he'd handle it.
Aaron frowned, not expecting the Thornberry family to be this dumb.
He looked at Kayle and said, "The contract signing between Thornberry Corporation and Abbott Group is the day after tomorrow, right?"
Kayle smirked, "Yep. The day after tomorrow, when we sign that contract, you'll be done for."
Aaron's voice turned icy, "Don't get your hopes up; that deal's dead."
Kayle scoffed, "You're just a bodyguard. Who do you think you are to say the deal's dead? You really think you're the president of the Abbott Group?"
Aaron's tone was cold as ice, "I am the president of the Abbott Group."
Kayle sneered, "Still pretending, huh? When we sign that contract, I'll make sure the real CEO knows you tried to impersonate him. The Abbott family won't let you off easy. Don't think Susanna backing you means you can do whatever you want. Even the Jones family will have to bow down to us, let alone you, a lowly bodyguard."
Aaron shot back, "Well, let me tell you, your deal with the Abbott Group is off."
"Who's the big shot claiming our deal with the Abbott family is off?"
Roman walked out of the elevator, and Kayle jumped in, "Roman, perfect timing. This lowly bodyguard is pretending to be the president of the Abbott Group and says our deal is off. Isn't that a joke?"
Kayle's lackey chimed in, "Yeah, we checked online and couldn't find any pics of the Abbott Group's president. Makes it easy for fakes like him to fool people. They really think the Thornberry family is that gullible."
Roman laughed and said, "Pretending to be the president of the Abbott Group?"
He looked at Susanna and said, "Is this lying bodyguard the guy you're into? Your taste sucks. If you agree to marry me, I might go easy on the Jones family."
Susanna rolled her eyes, seeing another idiot.
She raised an eyebrow and said, "Even if you were the last guy on earth, I wouldn't marry you. Give it up, you're too ugly."
Roman got furious and raised his hand to hit her, but Aaron grabbed his arm.
Aaron glared at Roman and said, "Touch her again, and you'll regret it. She's mine."
"A broke bodyguard like you, think you can go toe-to-toe with me for a woman? You should ask around Novaria what happens to guys who try to mess with me."
Aaron slapped Roman away, eyes blazing with fury. "Spread any more crap, and I'll make sure you never talk again."
"Where do you get the guts to talk to me like that? Even Edward wouldn't dare be this cocky in front of me. Just wait, especially since our Thornberry family is about to team up with the Abbott family."
"Roman, this broke bodyguard even pretended to be the president of the Abbott Group. Isn't that a joke?"
"He's just a nobody, pretending to be the president to save his sorry ego."
Susanna glanced at Aaron, who was keeping his cool.
Kayle kept pushing, "Roman, you must've already checked out the Abbott Group CEO's info and seen his pics. Why not show them to prove a point? Let's see if they still dare to lie."
Roman nodded, "Sure thing. Today, I'll expose this faker. Susanna, watch closely."
Susanna held back her laughter and nodded, "Yeah, I'd love to see what the Abbott Group CEO looks like."
Roman whipped out his phone and searched. Soon, he showed a photo. "This is the president of the Abbott Group."
"Roman, show them the pic already."
But the next second, Roman looked at the photo, then at Aaron, and was stunned. "He really does look a bit like him."
Kayle was confused, "Roman, what do you mean? Let me see."
Kayle took the phone, looked at the photo, then at Aaron. "He really does look a bit like him."
Could this broke bodyguard really be the president of the Abbott Group?
The servant chimed in, "Mrs. Thornberry, don't be fooled. This guy must be pretending because he looks a bit like him."
Kayle added, "Roman, got a full-face photo? This one's just a side profile; you can't see the whole face."
"Mom, the president of the Abbott Group is super low-key and rarely gets photographed. A side profile is already pretty good."
Susanna stepped forward and glanced at the photo in Roman's hand. It was just a side profile, but it did look a lot like Aaron. She said, "Now do you believe it?"
Kayle snorted, "It's just a resemblance. Big deal."
Roman agreed, "Yeah, the president of the Abbott Group has always been in Lindwell and hasn't come to Novaria. He's only coming here the day after tomorrow for the contract signing with the Thornberry family. So the guy beside you is just a faker who happens to look like him."
"Exactly, this guy must've seen the president before and is now pretending to be him."
Susanna didn't expect that even after showing the photo, the Thornberry family still wouldn't buy it.
Then Roman said, "Besides the president of the Abbott Group, Mr. Ross from Lindwell's second wealthiest family is coming too. I met him just a few days ago."
Susanna raised an eyebrow, "Funny, 'cause Mr. Ross is in the hospital right now."
