In fact, after careful analysis, it made sense,
First of all, Alex did have a good appearance. He had a strong body and a straight figure. He was handsome and rich, a new rising star in the upper class of Lisbon. Of course this would make women fall in love with him.
Except for his disrespect to Lita, it seemed that he had no obvious shortcomings. Such a man was undoubtedly extremely eye catching in the eyes of the rich young ladies. So it was not strange that Alex was popular among girls of Bishop family.
However, Lita thought he wasn't so good as to cause the girls of Bishop family to fight for him.
"Auntie, I'm going back," Lita said to Maria.
"Wait a minute, Lita. Maria has made your favorite small potato cakes. You can eat a few pieces before going back," Maria said with rare
Usually, Maria had been cold and indifferent to Lita. Her sudden enthusiasm made Lita flattered. So she stayed.
In the study, Maria handed the small potato cake to Lita, and then poured a glass of cold juice for her. For a moment, Lita was so moved for being treated as her own daughter. But soon she was stunned by her aunt's request.
"Lita, you should know that Bella has taken a fancy to Alex. You know, Bella is proud and always turns her nose up at the boys from the rich families. But this time, she really falls in love with Alex."
Lita pursed her lips slightly. It seemed that Alex was sought-after among the three girls of Bishop family.
"Now you're Ethan's wife, Alex's sister-in law. You've been close to Bella since you were children. Isn't it a good thing for you two to be the sister-in-laws in the future? So, you must help Bella. Please mention Bella in front of Alex whenever possible, and put in a few good words for her."
Lita finally got the gist. Maria was asking her to be the matchmaker for Bella and Alex.
"Auntie..., Alex's personality is unpredictable and evil. I'm worried that Bella will suffer from him in the future." Lita tried to say it mildly.
To tell the truth, a man who was so mean to his sister-in-law couldn't have a good personality. At the thought that the man had used his fingers to assault her sexually, Lita gnashed her teeth in anger. However, her self esteem would not allow her to expose this fact, so she wouldn't mention it to anyone. She wanted to save her husband Ethan from humiliation too. All she hoped was that Alex could pull back from that kind of evil actions and not do anything to hurt his brother.
"Girls prefer bad boys, as people always say. Besides, since Alex can become the rising star in the business circle of Lisbon, there must be something extraordinary about him. It's okay for him to be a little evil. Of course he can't be honest and dumb." Maria didn't take Lita's words seriously.
So Maria was praising that man? He was despicable. How could she summarize this thing as "girls prefer bad boys"? Lita turned silent.
"By the way, what kind of woman does Alex like? Does he like a gentle and elegant young lady like Bella? Or does he prefer hot and sexy ones? I guess he should prefer the girls like Bella. What do you think?" Maria asked with interest.
"Well... I really don't know. Alex... he seldom comes home. And when he is at home, he just goes to the treatment room to see his brother. I really don't know what kind of women he likes," Lita said truthfully.
"Oh, I see," Maria said with a sigh, "Then what he likes to eat? You should know that, don't you?"
Lita realized that if she didn't contribute something today, Maria would never give up questioning her.
"He likes to eat spaghetti and steak, and food made of mango too. I saw servants often prepare these for him."
"Wait a minute." Maria picked up a piece of paper and a pen from the desk exaggeratedly. She even took down what Lita said word by word.
Although Maria was cold to Lita all the time, at this moment, she was like a loving mother. She did what she could with meticulous care in order to make her daughters marry into good families.
What was why people said "Mother is the blessing of a child."
At the huge president's office on the top floor. Brilliant sunlight cast in through the windows.
But the person inside seemed to disgust this vital atmosphere. His mood decided his opinions about the environment.
"Why is my brother so sick? His conditions are so serious that he has to rely on a ventilator to maintain his life? How dare you hide it from me?" Alex's face was as cold as iceberg that had been frozen for a thousand years. His words were cold. "If anything happens to my brother, I'll make your whole family to pay for it!"
Doctor Owen was a little scared. He believed that Alex, who had been overwhelmed by hatred, could do what he said.
"Alex, I also hope Ethan can recover as soon as possible. However, a person who has given up desire for life can't be saved by medicine," Doctor Owen said meaningfully.
"What do you mean? How could my brother give up desire for life?" Alex asked in a cold voice.
Doctor Owen shook his head sadly and sighed. "Since he knew Miss Yen's death, he became so depressed! He doesn't want to have treatment actively. He only asks me to give him some conservative treatment and keep him alive temporarily."
"A woman can make him despair so much? Am I not worthwhile for him to live on?" Alex snapped.
"These are two different kinds of feelings. You may say that his love is too deep and life is nothing compare to it! I guess Ethan wants to reunite with Miss Yen in heaven."
Alex felt that his heart almost wanted jump out of his chest. His well-crafted suit outlined his perfect and strong figure.
Alex dragged his dark strip patterned tie loose and said with a hoarse voice, "Tell me my brother's real condition. If you dare to hide it from me, you will never be able to see your family again!"
"If we just continue the conservative treatment, your brother won't survive for more than three months."
With a loud bang, a dark-colored decoration was smashed on the marble floor.
Lita returned to the Selmy house early and was preparing dinner for Ethan with Alice.
Worried that Ethan would get sick of the liquid food, Lita made him some slightly sticky porridge.
Lita came out of the kitchen with the porridge, when the double door of the villa was swung open by somebody brutally.
Then, a large group of people rushed in. Lita recognized the two in uniforms were forensic experts. There were more than a dozen of them, and they crowded in the living room.
"Who are you? How can you break into a private house?" Lita asked sternly when she realized that they were not here with good intentions.
"Who are you? A new nanny? Get out of my way." The middle-aged man walking in front was called Ellie. He was the uncle of Ethan and Alex. He had been coveting Selmy Group.
"I'm Ethan's wife, Lita!" Lita said, neither humble nor bossy. "My husband is in poor health. He can't stand your disturbance!
Please get out! Or I'll call the police!"
