The CEO’s Surrogate Wife

Chapter 676 Augus Is Dead

“He would never help me again. The thing I regret the most in my life is disowning him,” Augus says sadly.

Aileen wipes her tears with her hands and suddenly remembers something. She says, “Why not go and find Dennis? He is nice to us and his daughter Grace is with you, so they will help us, right?

“No, Dennis is involved too. They two worked together and plotted against me. I was wrong. I should not trust them so much. Moreover, Grace is dead.”

Augus closes his eyes painfully.

Aileen doesn’t want to face such a situation, but she has to be there for her father.

Augus is still grumbling, “I have nothing …”

“No, dad, you still have me and mom. Mom has always been loving you.”

Aileen considers herself as snobbish. In circumstances like this, she chooses to stand on his father’s side.

“Alex is you son. He will take you in.”

“No, I hurt him so much last time. I even kidnapped his woman.” Augus regrets for all that he has done to Alex. Perhaps, all of this is his retribution.

“There’s always a way.” Aileen says.

“My company is gone. I don’t see any point of anything anymore.” Augus looks so tired.

Aileen is shocked, “Dad, what do you mean?”

Augus ignores her and rushes out of the office.

Aileen also chases after him. She always feels that something is wrong with her father. Seeing him walk onto the rooftop, she follows anxiously.

Dad, don’t do anything stupid. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Aileen prays.

At this moment, she sees Augus walk over to the edge of the rooftop.

“Dad, you can’t do that.” Aileen is anxious and soaked in tears. She doesn’t expect her father to be so sensitive.

“Anyway, the company is gone. I have nothing left. What else can I do if I have nothing?” Augus shouts loudly to the sky.

In his mind, the company that makes him proud has disappeared, and his beloved Grace has died. What’s the point of him living in this world?

He would rather die.

“I’m not a good father. Take good care of yourself, Aileen. I love you, baby.”

After saying that, Augus jumps from the rooftop.

Aileen wants to grab his hand, but it is too late. It has never occurred to her that that she will watch her commit suicide like this right in front of her.

Her heart is in pieces now, inside and out. She sees her father lying on the ground, like a puppet.

Why can’t she do anything about it? She hates herself.

Aileen faints, right away

…

When Miya wakes up, she finds herself still lying in the room. This is the place she is most unwilling to stay. She wants to leave quickly.

However, when Miya is about to get up, she sees Richard.

Richard finally feels relieved when he sees her wake up. Just as he is about to speak, Miya speaks first.

“Why are you pestering me like this? Do you want to fool me again?”

Miya is a little aggressive, but Richard doesn’t take these words seriously at all. He says to her with patience, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything harmful to you. I promise that I’m not fooling you. I will definitely help you find your family.”

“Don’t lie to me anymore. I beg you to let me go. Please let me go.” Miya pleads him as she closes her eyes.

She no longer wants to see this man in front of her.

“Do you really hate me that much?” Richard trembles. He has done so much for this woman, why does she always treat him like this?

“Yes. I don’t want to see you anymore,” Miya says to him impatiently. She feels that she is about to explode with anger. She does not want to be tricked by him again.

“Alex is behind all of this.” Richard explains to her.

“I won’t believe you no matter what you say.”

Miya stands up from the bed and walks out of the room. Richard follows her out because he doesn’t want her to leave.

“If you leave now, where will you go? Alex has taken away your company. There is no place for you.”

Richard wants Miya to see through the reality, and he wants her to know that he is the best person for her.

“So what? I can definitely get it back on my own.” Miya clenches her fists tightly and takes a deep breath.

She believes that she can do that on her own.

“Stop deceiving yourself, Miya. You can’t defeat Alex on your own.” Richard takes on a ruthless tone.

“Then what exactly do you want from me?” Miya is tired of Richard.

Then she says, “I have told you that I won’t believe you anymore.”

After saying that, Miya runs down the stairs excitedly. Richard doesn’t chase after her because he knows that the bodyguards downstairs will stop her. Miya knows she can’t escape from the place because she sees the bodyguards in front of her politely asking her back.

Miya feels so desperate. Then, she continues to walk forward. The bodyguards feel a little helpless. After all, they could not harm the woman in front of them. They could only follow behind her.

“You can’t trap me here forever, unless I die.” Miya seems to make a decision.
