Mr. Tycoon's Beloved Wife: The Madam No One Dares to Offend

Chapter 289: Less Routine!

When Claus heard what Horton said, he immediately flew into a rage and said, "What nonsense are you saying?"

"Emily was kidnapped by you. I know this even if you don’t admit it. I know that even if I catch those kidnappers, I can’t do anything to you. But ... Halle is the woman I want to marry!"

Horton’s voice was not loud, but it was particularly firm. Not only Claus was stunned, but even Halle was also surprised. She raised her head and looked at Horton incredulously.

Horton said that he wanted to marry her, which was just like the last time he suddenly confessed to her.

Claus beat Horton on the face.

A loud slap echoed in the quiet sick room. Claus stood angrily and looked at Horton who was sitting on the bed in a sorry state. His eyes were full of anger.

"For a woman like her, you dare to talk to me like this?"

"You want to marry her? No way!"

Claus was flustered and exasperated. He didn’t pay much attention to Horton in the past.

Raising him and allowing him to grow up under the protection of the Hutt family was because of the relationship between Horton and the Anderson family.

When Tyree was alive, he favored Horton, and as a result, the Hutt family also received a lot of benefits.

He had three sons, but the eldest one and the youngest one were both disappointing. One only knew how to spend money and the other only knew how to play with women.

It was Horton, who he had never cared about, who was more like an heir.

With the decline of the Hutt family in the past two years, Claus felt even more that it was important to find a decent heir for the Hutt family.

Horton was not a business genius, and he did not have the resolute aura of a businessman like Bruce.

But among his three sons, only Horton could let him hand over the Hutt family without worry.

It was just that Horton hadn’t been by his side since he was young, so it would be difficult to control him.

Horton was slapped by Claus, but there was no compromise in his eyes at all.

He raised his head and looked coldly at the middle-aged man in front of him. This was his so-called biological father.

In addition to the sperm which gave him half of the family bloodline, for Horton, he was simply a stranger.

His eyes were dark, and his voice was low and cold, "It’s my marriage. What’s there to do with you?"

Claus did not expect that Horton would mock him so coldly. Horton’s gaze made him burn with anger.

Claus tottered, but the butler behind him quickly held him up.

"You unfilial son. What did you say?"

Horton’s words were obvious. Halle would not become a member of the Hutt family.

Neither would he.

"We just happen to have the same surname. I don’t need you to worry about me. I just want to remind you about something."

"If this happens again, I will settle the accounts with you."

Horton was talking about Emily. Claus was so simulated that he trembled uncontrollably. The light in his eyes became more and more gloomy, "Good, I didn’t expect that. You’re really a filial son."

"You want to sever ties with the Hutt family?" Claus smiled coldly.

"Who do you think you are? Without the Hutt family, do you think you can achieve all of this now?"

"You are the most authoritative vice president of this hospital at such a young age and you think you don’t need us anymore, right? These were all given to you by the Hutt family."

"Without us, do you think this woman will marry you?

There was a mocking and victorious sneer on the face of Claus.

In his opinion, Halle was just a common woman even if she was a noble lady before, like those on the street. The more fortunate she was before, the more she could not stand the pain of falling from the clouds.

The Holt Family went bankrupt and was driven out by the Tyson Family. They had nothing and were in a sorry state.

The only fortunate thing was that Halle had a younger sister who married into the Anderson family, which was quite good.

However, even if she had some relationship with the Anderson family, this divorced woman was not worthy of his son.

Horton’s hands, which were hanging by his side, clenched tightly.

He did not even dare to look up at Halle’s expression.

He was afraid to see rejection, see the look he did not want to see, and more afraid

to see the disgust in Halle’s eyes.

Halle didn’t immediately refuse probably because she wanted to vent her anger.

Horton thought that maybe he would be scolded badly by Halle later.

So, he propped himself up and just turned his gaze to Claus.

"I will marry!"

Halle’s voice was clear and crisp, echoing throughout the sick room. Her every word was clearly pronounced.

This quiet ward suddenly had an echo. These three words were repeatedly played in Horton’s ears.

He could not help but look at Halle.

Her face was still covered in dust, but this could not cover her beauty. She was shining now. The determination and seriousness in her eyes touched Horton. His heart suddenly beat wildly.

Halle didn’t seem to notice the surprise on them. She took a step forward and her gaze fell on Horton’s face. Then she said seriously, "Horton, I want to marry you. Are you willing to marry me?"

Halle said she wanted to marry him and even asked his will.

Horton felt like he was dreaming. Was this his illusion?

What was wrong? He also hurt his brain?

But Horton was a brain specialist, he knew this was not an illusion.

"I..."

Horton was about to speak.

But Claus suddenly turned around and slapped Halle in the face.

The sound was much louder.

Halle’s lips bled. Coupled with her sorry state, she was even more embarrassed now. If one were to say that she just crawled out of the garbage dump, there would probably be people who would believe it.

"What a shameless woman!"

There was killing intent in Claus’s eyes. It was like he was going to execute Halle.

It seemed that one slap was not enough to vent his anger. When he was about to slap Halle again, his arm was held by a hand in mid-air.

This hand was far stronger than his. Claus looked at Horton who just got up from the bed.

The anger in his heart burned even fiercely.

Horton exerted too much strength. The blood instantly counter-flowed into the transfer tube.

But Horton did not seem to feel any pain. He still tightly held Claus’s arm.

Without glasses, his long and narrow eyes were unusually sharp and cold. Claus became timid in such a threatening look.

Horton coldly scolded, "You don’t have the right to slap Halle. You just have to remember that she is my woman. No one can bully her!"

...

Halle looked at the man who took the slap for her. Even if Horton did not make a move, she would not stand there stupidly and accept the second slap from Claus.

But Horton’s words moved her, and her heart beat faster than usual.

She used to keep a distance from Horton.

Since she couldn’t give him what he wanted, she didn’t want to hold him up.

She didn’t know if it was because of what happened this time, but she felt that Horton might treat her differently. He was not Titus. She wouldn’t be trapped in an unfortunate marriage.

Or perhaps it was because of Claus’s coercion that aroused her resistance. "Whether you agree or not, I will not marry anyone but Halle." "You..."

Claus was obviously angry. The housekeeper saw the situation and quickly advised, "Sir, Horton just finished the operation and needs to rest. Why don’t we come back another day?"

The confrontation between the son and the father. Too bad!

Horton and Claus were never close. If they continued their conversation, they might really end up cutting their relationship.

Claus quickly restrained. He knew Horton very well. Although he was angry, he did not continue.

Before leaving, Claus’s gaze fell on Halle. This woman could not be left alive! Only Halle and Horton were left.

Halle thought of her messy and dirty appearance and immediately lowered her head with a red face, feeling a little embarrassed.

Her current appearance must be very ugly, right?

Will Horton dislike her?

Halle nervously grabbed her clothes and whispered, "You... If you don’t have anything, I will go back first. I will ask the cleaner to clean the glass on the ground."

Halle felt she lost all her face, and she was also very embarrassed. But she didn’t know why.

As she spoke, she quickly turned around and walked out.

"Halle!"

Horton suddenly spoke. Halle stopped but did not turn around.

"I’m sorry. I apologize for what my dad did just now and for Emily. I knew him did this."

Horton’s voice came from behind, and Halle clasped her hands together.

Then, Halle forced a smile. But with her head down, Horton could only see the back of her.

"If it was about Emily, I couldn’t forgive him. As for what happened just now..."

"Halle."

Horton suddenly interrupted her. Before Halle could speak, Horton’s voice came from behind, "Just now, I was talking about the marriage. Don’t take it to heart. I just don’t want him to misunderstand you."

Halle turned around. The smile on her face disappeared. She stared at Horton with her pair of black eyes.

Suddenly, she frowned and said coldly, "What do you mean by that?"

Horton raised his head with obvious surprise on his face as if he was surprised by Halle’s sudden harsh words.

Horton lowered his head, his tone carrying a sense of loss, "I ... you just said that you wanted to marry me. I know it was just a moment of anger. I did not take it to heart."

"I am not angry. What I said is true. Do you want to marry me?"

Horton suddenly looked up at Halle.

For a moment, he felt like he was dreaming. If it wasn’t because of the pain in his leg, he would have thought that Halle who was standing before him was not real.

"Yes."

Horton nodded hard, his face serious.

Halle pursed her lips, "Have a rest first. I’m going back."

After that, without waiting for Horton to speak, she turned around and fled.

On the bed, Horton sat quietly with a smile.

Riya pushed open the door and entered the ward. She glanced at Horton and then snorted.

"Look at you. I thought you were a good boy. It turns out that you are also a cultured scum. You’re a scheming little devil, aren’t you?"

Riya said as she placed the thermos on the table.

She didn’t come to see what happened with Horton. Hilla asked her to come and see what happened between Halle and Horton.

Of course, she was also curious herself.

Horton looked at the woman and then frowned unhappily.

"Why are you here?"

"If I didn’t come, how can I see you pretending to be sick and lying to Halle to marry you?"

Riya twitched her mouth and then leaned over with a curious expression.

"Don’t think that I can’t tell. You just deliberately told your father that you want to marry Halle. You want to test Halle, right?"

"Halle did not reject you on the spot and you are sadfishing just now before her. In that way, she even wouldn’t reject."

"You’re scheming against her, aren’t you? I guess Halle is still feeling guilty for you. After all, it is you who saved her in the fire and cut ties with your father to protect her. She might want to marry you immediately."

The more Riya spoke, the more she felt that this man was really scheming. Before him, Halle was just a poor lamb.

Riya grew more and more excited. There was a flame of excitement beating in her eyes.

As expected, gossiping about others was satisfying.

Horton frowned. He picked up the broken glasses on the table and put them on. But with broken glasses, he couldn’t see clearly.

"I didn’t mean that."

"God knows."

"But I’m very curious. Halle divorced and had a baby. Do you really not mind? Are you willing to be a stepfather for others?"

Although this man was a bit scheming, he was still quite a good person, able to love the house and the crow.

He even could treat the woman’s baby as his own. She admired him in this respect.

Horton turned his head to the side of the window. There was no more elegance on his face without glasses. Instead, there was a bit of coldness and indifference in his eyes.

"Even if Emily is not my daughter, it doesn’t prevent me from liking her!" Such an affectionate man.

Riya was jealous. She rolled her eyes and then put the thermos on the table with all her strength.

"That said, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Halle is very sensitive to marriage since she divorced once. You deceived her into marriage. Although she agreed, it may not necessarily be she likes you. It may also be because of her gratitude to

you."

"You should know that gratitude does not equal love. How long can it last? It depends on you."

However, when she thought of the drama of a hero saving the beauty, Riya could not help but be fascinated.

Less routine, more sincerity!
