Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 24
Advertisement
"Aiden, it looks like you've misunderstood." Said Deny, trying to calm Aiden's anger. He must not lose a prospective son-in-law like Aiden so he must fight to calm his anger.
Deny needed Aiden to make his company move forward. With Aiden's help, he would be even richer. He would also become one of the most influential people in this city.
"Misunderstand?" Aiden's voice was so low that it almost sounded like a growl.
Deny immediately closed his mouth tightly, afraid that Aiden would direct his anger at him if he opened his mouth further. Meanwhile, Natali could only tremble beside her father. Aiden already knew all her plans. He also knew that she set his wife up.
The man was not blind! The man had seen it all!
Natali's tears before might have been crocodile tears, but now she really wanted to cry. What should she do now?
"I am not doing anything! Not me…" Said Natali. Tears rolled down her face again. However, unlike before, it wasn't sad tears that rolled down her face. This time she cried out of fear.
"Do you think I'm stupid just because I can't see?" Aiden interrupted Natali's words before she could defend herself. His eyes looked merciless as he stared daggers at Natali's pathetic face.
"The CCTV footage that you deleted. Do you think I can't get it? Getting something like that is a very easy thing for me."
Natali's eyes widened when she heard Aiden's words. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Could Aiden get hold of the CCTV footage she'd deleted? How could it be?
"The person you ordered to escort that woman to my room. Are you sure you can keep his mouth shut? Have you never thought that I could pay twice as much money as you gave?" Aiden said it with a face that looked bored as if he was dealing with a fool.

Natali immediately felt panicked. All of her plans had been exposed! She immediately hugged her father's arm, trying to persuade him, "Dad, that's not what I want. Anya said she needed money to save her mother so she asked me to meet a rich man. Not me…"
Deny could only stare at his daughter in confusion. He didn't know who to believe in. He did not really know who had lied and who was telling the truth to him.
However, there was only one thing he cared about. He only cared about Aiden's opinion. If Aiden said Natali was guilty, then according to what he said, Natali was guilty. Deny only cared about Aiden and his wealth.
His hand went up, slapping Natali's face with all his might, making her bounce out of her chair and fall on the ground.
"Father!" Shouted Natali, holding her cheek.
Just a moment ago, it was Anya who was where she was right now. Anya, who was holding her cheek, felt the humiliation and shame of being hit by her father in public. Now, all that happened to her instead.
Why did things turn out like this?
The plan was perfect. But why didn't things end up the way she planned?
…
In the bathroom, Anya immediately changed her clothes with the clothes given by Aiden. When she took the clothes out of Aiden's gift bag, she gasped. It was a very pretty white dress. There were folds at the bottom, making it fluff up a little.
She immediately saw her dirty shirt and put it in the bag. At that time, she accidentally saw the logo of a luxury brand on the bag. She was surprised when she saw the brand. The clothes she was wearing were as luxurious and expensive as the clothes she wore before. What if she got this shirt dirty again?

Anya looked at herself in the mirror and realized that her hair was a little messy. She immediately cleaned her face which was splashed by coffee water and took a hair tie to tie her messy hair.
Her appearance looked neat as before. Without any makeup, her face looked naturally very beautiful. After making sure her appearance was good enough, she immediately got out of the bathroom. She was worried about her father. However, apart from that, she also couldn't wait for Aiden to get his revenge on Natali.
…
After she came back from the bathroom, she saw Aiden sitting quietly while Deny slapped Natali hard.
'I don't know what they are arguing about.' Anya pretended to remain calm and immediately sat down beside Aiden.
Aiden watched as Anya walked towards him. The woman in the previously stained clothes still looked beautiful to Aiden. After changing clothes, Aiden felt that the woman was much more perfect. The white shirt she was wearing now seemed to make her pure and clean aura shine even more.
He saw Anya had tied her hair, but some strands were still trying to escape from the knot. Aiden raised his hand, combed the hair behind Anya's ear, saying, "Natali said that you asked her to be introduced to a rich man." Unlike the way he spoke to Deny and Natali, Aiden spoke to Anya in a light tone as if he was in a casual conversation.
Anya shook her head. It looked like Natali really didn't know the limit. Even at times like this she still chose to lie. This made Anya feel even more annoyed and wanted to get even more cruel than she already was.
Anya folded her arms and pretended to be sullen, "Do you believe in her?"
Aiden smiled when he saw Anya's adorable behavior, "I only believe what you say."
Natali was disgusted by the behavior of the two people in front of him and immediately shouted loudly, "I'm not lying! Anya, stop pretending!"
"You seduced my fiancé and broke our engagement. Now, you accuse me? You want to blame me for everything?" Natali's scream sounded desperate as if she was struggling with all her might to make everyone believe her again. But who would believe her if she was dealing with Aiden?
Deny could see Aiden getting annoyed when he heard Natali. If it continued like this, Natali could destroy his relationship with Aiden. He didn't care which daughter got Aiden, as long as one of them could win the man's heart. Now that Aiden had Anya, of course he would also defend Anya.
"Shut up!" Deny snapped at Natali, "Apologize to Anya!"
Natali's mouth dropped open when she heard her father's order. 'I am sorry? To Anya? Never!'
She didn't want to apologize to Anya even though she was the one who framed her.
"No! I'm not guilty!" Shouted Natali, weeping bitterly. Even now, Natali was unaware of her position and insisted on her stance.
Aiden felt Natali's cries disturbing his ears. His head felt dizzy listening to this woman's cry. He turned his head towards the rowing servants staring at the commotion at their workplace in fear.
Their manager was already there, but he couldn't do anything. They were all aware who they were dealing with so they didn't dare to do anything.
"Where's the coffee I ordered?" Aiden asked one of the servants nearby.
