Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 282 All I Can Think About Now Is Stellan

Alaric let out a cold snort and said, "I never suffer losses. I will make anyone who provokes pay dearly. But the ones who provoked me are Todd and Ambrose, not you. I won't confuse right with wrong. If the day comes when the righteous must pay for the sins of the wicked, that's true injustice."

Alaric's words shocked Cormac, making him feel like he was seeing his childhood friend in a new light.

Alaric said, "Cormac, if you really trust me, listen to me. I will handle this matter. It's just a jewelry company; I don't care that much. Besides, what you have now doesn't mean you'll have it forever. I will get what I want sooner or later. There's no rush. To be honest, I'm quite happy right now."

He continued, 'Because you are still the Cormac I know. Despite all the changes, you are still you. I know the psychological torment you've been through these days. You don't need to feel sorry for me. Actually, it's my plan to acquire the jewelry company that implicated you."

Alaric was very clear about this. If it weren't for his plan to acquire the jewelry company, Todd and Ambrose wouldn't have used Aurora to threaten Cormac so despicably. It was unfair to Cormac, but it suited Alaric's purpose. Alaric's eyes became exceptionally sincere as he looked at Cormac and said, "Cormac, stay. I genuinely want you to help me, and this is not charity. The Nash family and the Knight family are who they are, but our relationship stands on its own, with a unique bond."

Alaric went on, "Let the past be the past. You don't need to tell me you lack ability; I know what you're capable of. You can continue to be a doctor if you want. I'm about to undergo treatment, and I hope you can help me through this period." After Alaric finished speaking, Cormac remained silent for a long time. He didn't know how to respond to Alaric. He really wanted to refuse, but Alaric's words had somewhat swayed him.

"Don't rush to answer me. Take your time to think about it. It's getting late; go back and take care of Aurora. She must be terrified after all this." With that, Alaric patted Cormac on the shoulder and then walked out of the office first. Todd was ecstatic at this moment. He took Ambrose and Bill to a bar to celebrate.

Amidst the loud music and dancing, Todd was in the center of the dance floor, groping the women around him inappropriately, having a great time.

When he got tired of dancing, he sat on the couch with two women in his arms, downed a glass of alcohol in one gulp, and couldn't help but laugh wildly. "I'm so happy. I thought Alaric was a tough nut to crack, but he turned out to be so easy to deal with. Ambrose, I'll give you credit for this matter. Well done."

"Thank you, Todd," Ambrose said, raising his glass. "Todd, here's to you. Cheers for the congratulations!"

"Cheers." Todd laughed, then drank and fed the women beside him.

After feeding the women enough, Todd pushed them away disdainfully. By now, Todd's face was flushed with alcohol, and he was clearly drunk. He said, "In my opinion, Alaric and that Cormac are just a pair of fools. One is willing to suffer for so-called brotherhood, and the other breaks the law for a girl with no blood relation. Aren't they stupid? And they still want to achieve great things? It's laughable! You all praised Alaric like he was a god, but he's just a facade."Todd went on, "Alaric being so easy to deal with has given me a new idea. I think his wife, Stellan, is really beautiful. I've seen many women, but none as beautiful as Stellan. Now that I've taken the jewelry company Alaric wanted, I'm really curious about what his woman is like. Ambrose, wasn't she your girlfriend before? What's she like?"

Hearing this, Ambrose clenched his fists secretly. Todd was utterly shameless, even thinking about Stellan. It was despicable!

"Todd, you've had too much to drink," Bill reminded Todd.

"Bill, you know my drinking capacity. How could I be drunk with just this? I'm serious. All I can think about now is Stellan. I'm different from other men in this regard. Other men like virgins; I don't. I like women who have been with others. Why?" Todd looked at Ambrose as he asked this, then answered his own question while looking at Ambrose. "Because it's thrilling!"

Todd's laughter was particularly arrogant as if he were above the law. To Ambrose, it was unbearably grating.

Ambrose secretly vowed that one day he would personally kill Todd!

Now it was confirmed that Far East International had successfully acquired the jewelry company. With Todd's flamboyant and high-profile nature, the whole world knew about it.

This was a blow to Nexus Innovations. If it were just a low design rating, it would be fine, but the problem was that the electronic draft was missing. This led to much speculation within the company, with many saying there must be a corporate spy sent by Todd.

So Alaric specifically held a very important board meeting for this matter. "Everyone has seen the result of the jewelry company acquisition. I sincerely apologize to everyone here."

The executives were surprised by Alaric's apology.

Alaric explained, "The only electronic draft was always with me. It's true that extreme caution can lead to mistakes. I was too careful and kept it with me at all times, which led to its accidental loss. I am truly ashamed." After Alaric finished speaking, everyone started whispering. Was it really true that Alaric accidentally lost the flash drive?

He added, "Although it's unfortunate that we couldn't successfully acquire the jewelry company, this regret is temporary. Since the mistake was mine, I will make up for these losses and take the jewelry company back. I promise, please believe me."

Alaric was a director of Nexus Innovations. Since he had said this and sincerely apologized, what more could others say?

After the meeting, Alaric felt somewhat relieved. He had handled it fairly well. Just as he returned to his office, his phone rang. It was Cormac calling.
