Love Strategy: CEO He is Really Scheming！

”He might be good in a thousand ways, but marriage isn’t just between the two of you. You’re marrying into a family, you have to fit into that family!”

”You lost two children because of him, and his mother has never felt sorry for you. Instead she talks so viciously and mean. A family like that isn’t even worthy of associating with our Seys Family, let alone having you marry into them!”

Dominic Seys finished, then was seized by a violent coughing fit, his face turning pale.

Nicole looked at her furious grandpa, immediately crouched down beside Dominic, her eyes reddening with anxiety. ”Please don’t get angry, Grandpa. People like that aren’t worth you getting worked up over. From now on... from now on I won’t let anyone bully me, okay? Don’t be mad anymore. If they bully me again, I’ll deal with them myself!”

Dominic coughed for a long time before he finally calmed down a little. Looking at his granddaughter with eyes full of heartache, he said, ”Child, I don’t expect you to marry spectacularly, but at the very least you need to be happy. That’s all us elders wish for. Grandpa doesn’t have much time left, the days I can protect you are numbered. But you still have your dad. Your dad is your support. When your dad grows old, you’ll have your brother Arlo. And when you’re old one day, you’ll have your nephew Ryan. The Seys Family will always be your backing and your harbor. No matter when, if you suffer grievances at your husband’s home, you’ll have the Seys Family behind you, shielding you. Do you understand? Why would you wrong yourself?”

Nicole pressed her lips together and nodded lightly, her eyes silently turning red.

That night, maybe because he’d lost his temper earlier in the day, Old Master Seys Dominic’s condition worsened. He kept coughing nonstop, and the entire Seys Family gathered around his bed, their expressions heavy.

Nicole looked guiltily at her grandpa. She had never told her family about her personal troubles because she didn’t want them to worry, yet she’d never imagined it would lead to Grandpa’s illness getting worse this time.

Arlo Seys’s gaze swept once over the clearly off Nicole, and he spoke in a deep voice, ”Come out with me.”

Nicole followed Arlo out of the room.

”Arlo.”

Arlo’s cool eyes swept over his little sister. ”Tell me, what exactly happened today?”

Nicole pressed her lips together, her voice a bit hoarse. ”Grandpa got angry today and that caused his condition to worsen.”

”Tell the truth. You need to remember there’s more than just you in this house, there’s Aunt Forest too. I’m asking you to talk because I’m giving you a chance to come clean.” Arlo’s voice was a little frosty.

Nicole lowered her eyes, her voice very low. ”Olivia Summer and Andrea Greenwood came here to look for me, and we got into a shouting match. Grandpa stood up for me and lost his temper...”

Arlo’s gaze turned even colder, his tall figure looking more aloof and icy under the fluorescent light. ”The Seal Family sure has guts, daring to come to the Seys Family and make a scene. If Jose Floyd doesn’t take care of this, I’ll handle his not-yet-married wife and that shameless old mother of his for him. But you tell Jose Floyd this: if I have to step in and discipline them, he can deal with the consequences himself.”

”Arlo, what are you planning to do?” Nicole straightened up, looking at Arlo.

Arlo’s thin lips curved into a chilly arc. ”I’m going to teach the Seal Family a lesson. If they dare come to the Seys Family in City C looking for trouble, fine. I’ll play along with them.”

”Arlo! Can you let me handle this myself?” Nicole was a bit anxious and spoke to Arlo with her lips tightly pressed.

Arlo’s deep eyes swept over Nicole. ”You sure you can handle it, instead of letting them bully you all the way to our doorstep?”

”Arlo...” Nicole gave a bitter little laugh.

”Fine, I’ll give you one chance to handle it yourself. If I see you getting pushed around by Andrea Greenwood and Olivia Summer again, there’ll be no more talking. I’ll go straight to Jose Floyd. If he doesn’t resolve it properly, I’ll resolve his Restricted District for him.”
