Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 700

The smile on Alfred Jenner's face froze for a moment, which made his fat cheeks twitch. He looked a little embarrassed and wanted to say something, but his lips moved without a sound for a while.

"Ms. Juhl, what do you mean by this?" Alfred was still smiling, but the smile on his face was stiff.

That was probably because he did not expect Lindsey would be so direct and unforgiving in the car.

Previously, Alfred had been dealing with Quentin. Although Quentin was also very difficult, he was at least not so frank. He never thought that Lindsey would be so harsh with her words and make him speechless.

Lindsey did not care about the glum look on Alfred’s face. This morning, she left in a hurry and did not put on any makeup, so she looked less mature than she usually did. However, when she pursed her lips and widened her eyes, Alfred was even a little afraid to look her in the eye.

"Mr. Jenner, you don’t know what I’m trying to say?" Lindsey still kept the same rhythm as she tapped her fingers on her knee. "Don’t you remember what we negotiated before signing the contract? Now, you’ve delayed construction for more than half a month. Mr. Jenner, I’m sure you understand English."

Alfred hired a local driver, whose forehead inexplicably broke out in cold sweat. Just now, when Lindsey just got in the car, he secretly sized her up, but at this time, he did not dare to look at her.

At this time, Alfred was just like his driver, but since he was used to calling the shots, he quickly settled his emotions. When he saw that they would soon arrive at the hotel, he laughed dryly. “Ms. Juhl, you must be tired from the flight. Why don’t you take a rest first, then we’ll talk about it later.”

Lindsey curved her lips into a faint smile that was somewhat gentle. "Alright then."

Her expression changed so quickly that Alfred became nervous and quickly pushed the door open to get out of the car.

Emilia, who had been sitting in the same car with Lindsey, made her presence small during the journey. She spoke up at this time. "Ms. Juhl, Mr. Quentin has asked you to reply to his email when you arrive at the hotel."

Lindsey gave a faint "mm", pushed open the car door, and stepped out.

Alfred booked a Presidential Suite at a five-star hot springs hotel. The suite had the right temperature, which instantly amplified Lindsey’s tiredness after the plane ride.

Although Alfred might be a horrible partner, he was very good at entertaining guests. He first arranged for Lindsey and her group to rest at the hotel before they get to business in the evening.

He probably also understood that although Lindsey said that, since she came personally, it meant that there was still a possibility for discussion. Moreover, he managed to find a new partner. This was what mattered most.

Lindsey did not reject Alfred’s arrangements. She took a bath and slept for a few hours with the help of drugs. She felt a lot more relaxed afterward.

In the evening, Alfred arranged for a driver to pick them up for dinner. Lindsey then rushed to the appointment with a few of her employees.

"Come, come, Ms. Juhl." Alfred saw Lindsey enter and gave up the main seat. "Please sit here."

Lindsey took a glance at the seating arrangement and understood immediately, so she gave in to Alfred and was finally "forced" to sit in the main seat.

Alfred sat next to her. Before Lindsey went into the private room, she had talked to the staff that she brought from the PR department.

As soon as they were seated, Alfred said, "I shouldn't have kept you waiting, Ms. Juhl, but we have another guest today. My apologies in advance."

Lindsey had a fake smile on her face. "Don’t worry about it, Mr. Jenner."

This man wore a long coat that was the same color as his pants and had a scarf wrapped around his neck.

Then, this mysterious Mr. Cooper finally walked into the room.

Finally, this man was in the brightly lit private room. However, to everyone’s surprise, this Mr. Cooper had no face.

To be precise, Mr. Cooper was wearing a face mask that covered his nose, mouth, and chin. His scarf also covered his neck so tightly that none of his skin was exposed. Above the mask was a pair of large sunglasses.

It was very cold in early December in the north. Mr. Cooper wore his sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat that covered the upper part of his ears which were not covered by his scarf.

Mr. Cooper wrapped himself so tightly from head to toe that not even a single strand of his hair was exposed.

Lindsey unconsciously stood up. She did not know whether it was her illusion, but she felt that Mr. Cooper's eyes that were hidden behind those sunglasses seemed to land on her from the moment he entered the door.

As he said that, Alfred even pulled out the chair for Mr. Cooper. His attitude was a little too courteous.
