Maleficent: Marrying Father's Ex

Miller coughed and calmed down the atmosphere, "Everyone, don't forget that our most important task today is to elect the executive director. Other things are not important. If you have no opinion, just vote for the one with the most votes... "

"Just you and Scott, I don't think Aurora should be nominated, after all...we all know the result." Another director said impatiently.

Aurora laughed, "It turns out that the surname Woodsen here is not even eligible for nomination? Then why didn't they unanimously agree to change the group's name just now!"

As soon as this remark came out, the others were a little bit embarrassed.

Just as Miller was about to say something, Aurora suddenly said, "Alright, before voting, I'll delay everyone's time. Please ask the secretary to open your work mailbox and look at something."

Aurora had a slight smile on her face, "But... a friendly reminder, you'd better watch for yourself."

Except for Lucy and Diaval, all the secretaries sitting outside got up and handed the tablet in their hands to the boss.

The expressions of the directors were "what's the big deal" and "let's take a look". After opening the email, they were all shocked, some of them paled in seriousness, and panicked and frantically protected the tablet to prevent others from seeing it.

Scott buckled the tablet on the table, changed his hypocritical smile, and stared at Aurora fiercely, even a little fiercely.And Mliier's face was full of caution. If you look carefully, her hands under the table were shaking slightly.

Maleficent catches Aurora's gaze quietly.She was still leaning on the back of the chair relaxedly, unlike the shock in the room, she actually looked very relaxed and comfortable.

"Then..." Aurora's blue pupils were watery, suddenly emitting an unbearable light.Her pink lips were slightly raised, and a delicate and sweet smile bloomed, "Should we vote now?"

Sunny, bright, and warm.The aroma of coffee is mellow, and the warmth lingers in the air.

The soft music is faint.The few guests speak in a soft tone, which is an environment suitable for heart-to-heart chatting.

Both of them in Yazuo are over half a hundred years old, but they have excellent demeanor.

The man's white hair was tied into a ponytail, and he was dressed in simple casual clothes, but his appearance was so exquisite that he looked like he came out of an oil painting. The years made him more mature after experiencing vicissitudes.

Katharine looked at him quietly, "Long time no see. Benjamin."

"Long time no see, it's been a long time."

Benjamin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "How are you?"

Katharine also smiled, "Oh, lame."

Benjamin: "Would you like to talk?"

Katharine: "Amanda passed away that year. I heard the news suddenly and had an accident while driving."

Banjamin frowned when he heard Amanda's name, picked up his coffee, took a sip and remained silent.

Katharine glanced at him knowingly, "You didn't go to her funeral then either."

Benjamin paused and said, "I was in Canada at the time. There was heavy snow that year, and the information was blocked. I didn't hear any news."

There was a mocking smile on Katharine's lips, "Then you must be uncomfortable, after all, your relationship used to be so good."

Benjamin shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Katharine, you are still the same."

"I know she's not in good health, we've been in touch, but I didn't expect her to deteriorate so quickly..." Benjamin looked out the window.The sun on the west coast is bright, young and enthusiastic, just like the old time in his life.

Katharine's smile froze suddenly, "Have you been in touch?"

Benjiamin pulled his gaze back, "Of course."

Katharine was silent for a few minutes, "Yes, after all, you are the Golden Couple on campus..."

Benjamin said: "We're just friends, we haven't gotten back together."

Katharine was still silent, and after a while she said hoarsely: "She will at least contact you and tell you that she is sick, and I..."

She clenched the crutch in her hand, and the corners of her eyes were condensed with pain, "She doesn't want me to contact her, she doesn't want to see me..."

"So you're taking revenge on her? So you want to ruin her effort? Destroy the Woodsen Group?" Benjamin looked at her quietly.

"Yes! Doesn't she love to marry William Woodsen?"Isn't this the kingdom built by the husband and wife together? After that short-lived William died, she was still a widow for him!Raising a little granddaughter!hehe!Can you believe this is Amanda!She values ​​Woodsen so much, I'm going to ruin it!I can even ruin her beloved granddaughter! "

Katharine's expression was agitated and ferocious, and she exploded in an instant. She leaned her upper body forward slightly, and then slowly retreated to her seat. Seeing Benjamin looking at her calmly, she seemed not surprised at all.

She said coldly: "Could it be that you want to stop me? You were invited by that child to be her helper?"

Benjamin looked at her and sighed, "It's not Aurora, she doesn't even recognize me. After Amanda knew she was terminally ill, she asked me to wait for Aurora to come to me. That's what Amanda meant."

"You? What do you mean?" Katharine's face showed panic for the first time, and there was also a little inexplicable expectation, "You said you said she expected that I would?..."

Benjamin said: "Based on what you know about Amanda, do you think she would leave willingly without any preparation? Besides, Aurora is still so young, I don't know if she expected your behavior towards the Woodsen Group today, I just know her She must have done all she could do."

Katharine's face was cloudy, her fingers tapped on her cane.

"So, are you invited by her to protect her granddaughter?"

Benjamin looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Aurora told me something about what you did to her, Katharine, I never knew you were jealous of her!"

Katharine froze.

Benjamin said: "However, you are right, I will help Aurora."

"Hmph, she (Amanda) trusts you."

Benjamin smiled, "I know you've been jealous of me too."

Katharine's eyes were deep, mixed with a hint of embarrassment, she turned her head, and said sadly after a long time: "What qualifications do I have... She has never accepted me... If you get married, then I will be willing to admit defeat, but I didn't expect you to break up, I thought I finally had my chance..."

"What's so good about that William! She actually agreed to marry him! You've been dating for many years, but she hasn't married you! I've always been by her side, always... Why can't she see me, can't see me... "

The resentment in Katharine's tone surged up and was suppressed in her throat, and the rolling pain made her choke at the end.

Banjamin was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Why are you bothering, you can't force yourself to do emotional things, besides, Amanda has never dated girls before. So she can't accept you..."

"No! What do you know! She gave me hope!" Katharine suddenly burst into a hoarse voice.

Benjamin was astonished, seeing her stuck in the memory, as if thinking of some sweet past, his expression immediately became miserable.

He shook his head, suddenly didn't want to entangle her with this topic anymore, waved his hand and said: "Anyway, I don't want to know about your entanglement, and now she is gone, she cared most about Aurora and Woodsen Group when she was alive, so I will do everything Do your best to help her and protect her."

The heat of the coffee is gone, the aroma has receded, and it is cold.

Katharine's eyes were also cold, "Oh? How are you going to protect her? You don't know if she can survive today's board meeting."

"She got by."

"Are you so confident?"

Benjamin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Because Amanda has paved the way for her."

in the conference room.

The room was quiet.It was as quiet as stagnant water.But underneath this layer of tranquility is boiling, tumbling, anxious restlessness and uneasiness.

Except for the other ten shareholders of Maleficent present, they are all in their prime or middle age. They have been in the business field for decades, and they have been immersed in Vanity Fair for several years. A secret known to others, who doesn't have one or two dark things that can't be seen.

But in such a place that they think is beautiful, someone actually put their secrets and secrets in front of them, and even listed the time, place, and source clearly one by one.

This is really scary. Is this the method of this little girl who is not yet 21 years old?Or is it the deceased... Amanda?She has been dead for five years!How long ago was this prepared?Just wait for today?

What a terrible woman they worked with in the past...

I have to say, the sharp hits the nail on the head, and the knife hits the bone.Moreover, who is loyal and who is traitor, who is who is ghost, will be known immediately.

The more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and the cold sweat on my back became more and more.

Miller's hands were still shaking. Unlike the others, she was both scared and excited.

She thinks that she has little handle, and she can deal with it at some cost.It's just that her email gave her a huge temptation.If she was willing to stand with Aurora in all sincerity and unplug Scott, then his place was hers.

Both kindness and grace!

This trick is really beautiful.

Amanda Woodsen is truly an amazing woman!

Miller took a deep breath, the light in his eyes was bright and dazzling, she took the risk! Amanda must have guessed that she would accept it, so she accepted it.

But... After all, Xiao Gongju is still young, and Amanda is no longer here.

A smile flickered across Miller's lips.She raised her hand and said solemnly, "I support Aurora as a director."

As soon as she spoke, the others were also moved after hearing the news, and hurriedly raised their hands to signify completion.

Scott's face was dark, all the previous kindness was gone.He just sat there motionless, obviously objecting.

The votes came out exactly five to five.tie.

Everyone looked strangely, and they all looked at the back of the conference table at the same time.

Aurora didn't expect this either, she stared blankly at the woman who remained silent.

The clear and clear eyes like ice springs were also staring at her deeply, her plump lips curled into a slight smile, she clasped her hands, her ten fingers were slender and white, with well-defined joints.She is so familiar with intimate fingers.

Aurora's heart suddenly thumped wildly.

The woman's gaze was fixed on her, her hand flitted in the air, the wedding ring between her fingers was crystal clear, leaving a beautiful light and shadow, and then she raised her hand slightly.
