Love Strategy: CEO He is Really Scheming！-Chapter 272: Future President’s Wife?
Yes, it hurt him! When Selah Sutton said "it’s time to set the wedding," his heart bled.
When Selah Sutton called her "sister-in-law," it felt like his heart was being ripped out, the pain cutting into his very being.
Daisy Grant is to be his future sister-in-law, meant to spend her life with Aidan Sutherland, the woman Dawn Sutherland loves but cannot express.

After dinner, Daisy Grant found an excuse to say goodbye to Selah Sutton and left.
Dawn Sutherland stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, observing her sweet smile as she bid farewell to Mother Sutherland, his eyes deep.
It’s not that he didn’t want to accompany her outside, but he couldn’t act too close to her in front of the Sutherland Family, and feared that his emotions might be inadvertently exposed to Selah Sutton.
Dawn Sutherland’s gaze followed Daisy Grant, watching her leave the Sutherland home. He stood by the window, his eyes filled with sorrow and loneliness.
Daisy, I will only watch you be happy from afar, without disturbing you. Daisy Grant, you must be happy.

After leaving the Sutherland home, Daisy Grant drove her car some distance, then pulled over to the side of the road. All the emotions she had tried so hard to suppress while at the Sutherlands suddenly exploded, and she broke down crying against the steering wheel.
"Second brother----second brother----" She cried and murmured, "What have I done wrong? Ever since I returned from abroad, you’ve been avoiding me. Second brother... do you know how much I’m hurting?"
"Second brother, I’m not a bother to you, I just want to quietly watch over you. Second brother, what did I do wrong? Please don’t avoid me, okay?"
"Second brother, I like you so much, I don’t ask for you to like me back, I just wish you wouldn’t treat me like a stranger. Second brother... second brother..."
The twilight-stained street, as the sun set, shrouded Daisy Grant’s grief within the car, her body trembling from crying.
After a long time, as if her strength had been drained completely, she leaned weakly against the car seat, wiped the tears from her face, her eyes red, started the car, and drove away.

After another week of careful rehabilitation and care, Ariel Morris’ foot injury finally healed.
When Callan Walkers arrived at Royal View City to deliver documents to Arlo Seys, he was startled to see Ariel Morris answer the door.
"Miss Morris----what a coincidence." Callan stammered as he greeted her.
His boss works fast! How quickly he won over Miss Morris!! President Seys is truly a wolf in human’s clothing!!
Ariel Morris smiled softly, "What a coincidence, Special Assistant Walkers!"
Callan craned his neck forward, grinning at Ariel Morris in a flattering manner, "Miss Morris, is my boss inside?"
Ariel Morris stepped aside to let Callan in and laughed, "He’s in the shower, you’ll have to wait a bit."
"Oh~~~~~" Callan grinned meaningfully, teasing Ariel Morris with a raised eyebrow, "The future Mrs. President?"
Ariel Morris’ face flushed red, "There’s nothing like that..."
"Callan, are you idle?!" Arlo Seys’ voice came from the staircase behind. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Callan and Ariel Morris both turned their heads to see Arlo Seys walking closer with steady, impressive steps, sitting down on the sofa.
"President Seys!" Callan smiled obsequiously at his boss, respectfully handing over the documents to Arlo Seys.
Arlo Seys took the documents, gave Callan a sidelong glance, and spoke with a cold voice, "Callan, have you been quite idle recently as a special assistant?"
Callan paused, then hurriedly shook his head in confusion, "Boss, during your sick leave, I’ve been busy to the brink of insanity! How could I be idle! Boss, I’m asking for a raise!"
Arlo Seys snorted coldly, "I think you seem quite idle."
Callan looked at his boss’s inexplicable arrogance, feeling like crying but without tears. When did he offend his boss? He clearly hadn’t said anything significant, only exchanged a few words with Miss Morris-----
