Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 1089 - 1085: Hargrave Family Daughters Must Find a Suitable Match
"Beatrice, are you dating Alexander?" Henry Hargrave looked at his daughter seriously, "Why didn’t you inform the family about something this big!"
Beatrice Hargrave...
Looking at those two photos, she felt like no matter how much she tried to explain, it wouldn’t be clear.
She didn’t know when the first photo was taken, but she could tell the background was a recording studio.
Sometimes, when she got tired during recordings, she’d rest her head on the desk and fall asleep without realizing it. She had no idea the jacket on her shoulders belonged to Alexander.
As for the second photo, the background was a sports arena. At the time, Alexander was explaining to her how to walk the stage...
Letting out a sigh of frustration, Beatrice pushed the newspaper back in front of her father, "We’re not dating."
"If you’re not dating, what’s the deal with these photos? Look for yourself—Alexander clearly has love in his eyes when he looks at you!"
Henry tapped on the newspaper in front of him. He didn’t oppose his daughter having a boyfriend, but the premise was to find someone on par with the Hargrave family, not some so-called musical genius with only a reputation!
"Dad, can you be reasonable? You see a couple of photos with some added text and just believe it? Alexander is my producer. We work together every day. Of course, there will be face-to-face communication!"
"And what about this one? What’s going on here?" Henry knocked hard on the photo of Alexander covering her with the jacket, his face clearly displeased, so much so that his voice grew louder.
Facing her father’s questioning, Beatrice also got irritated and raised her voice, "How would I know? I was asleep at the time. How could I know he would cover me with a jacket!"
Seeing Beatrice’s agitated reaction, Henry said sternly, "Beatrice, I don’t care if you’re dating Alexander or not, but I hope you stop this immediately. The daughter of the Hargrave family needs to find a boyfriend who is our equal, not a penniless artist!"
Letting out a wordless breath, Beatrice was too lazy to continue explaining to her father and said impatiently, "I know. In the future, I’ll be more careful to keep my distance from him."
"Good, that’s the best." Henry placed the newspaper on the nearby dining chair, speaking sternly. Meanwhile, Josephine Hawthorne, with a mouth full of sarcasm, reached out with chopsticks to grab a piece of crispy melon and said mockingly, "Heh, in this regard, you haven’t taken after your cheap mother at all. She specialized in seducing wealthy men. Grayson is just an example."
"Josephine!" As Josephine finished her words, Henry harshly reprimanded, frowning deeply and looking at his wife beside him with displeasure.
Josephine, unconcerned, turned her head, popped the small piece of crispy melon into her mouth, chewed while raising her eyebrows, and said, "What? Am I wrong? In terms of seducing men, she hasn’t learned a bit of the knack from her cheap mother!"
"Hmph! I admit my mom was cheap; otherwise, how could she have slept with a scumbag who married a cheap woman!" Across from her, Beatrice sneered and chimed in, mimicking Josephine’s demeanor as she ate breakfast with indifference.
In the past, when they called her mother "cheap," it would drive her mad with anger. Now, hmph, since they care so much about her existence, why not use the identity of "the cheap woman’s daughter" to irritate them? Since they don’t want her to have peace, then no one should be comfortable.
"You admit your mom was cheap..." Josephine’s lips curled in sarcastic contempt, but before she could finish, Hannah Hargrave interrupted, grabbing Beatrice’s arm and loudly questioning, "Who are you calling cheap?"
