Aiden's Heroic Comeback

Chapter 7

Aiden chuckled wryly as he did not think that the plan was going to work.

"You think that's really going to work? You think she would come down from her high horse to be with a pauper?"

"That is why this stipulation was made. It is to test her to know if she would eventually love you for who you are and not because of the money."

Fraustatedly, Aiden bowed his head. He couldn't see any other way to impress a lady other than the use of money.

Alice's relationship with him and her betrayal had made him think that way.

"Don't worry about that part because all the necessary arrangements have been made, and she will marry you regardless," Dakota reassured.

"If you say so, then I have no option but to agree with you," Aiden finally caved in.

After the final agreements and signing of documents, Brandy took out an envelope and handed it over to Aiden.

He looked at Brandy suspiciously as he took it and opened it up. He had received enough surprise for a lifetime in the last twenty-four hours, and there was still more.

It’s a blank cheque.

"What is this?" He asked them, quite confused.

"It is for you to fill up," Brandy said. He was President Maxwell's accountant, and he knew everything relating to the man's finances.

“You have access to an amount worth more than a hundred billion dollars and more, all you need to do is put down the amount that you want and it will be transferred to you immediately."

With the way Brandy said it, one could deduce that a hundred billion dollars was just the tip of the iceberg of what President Maxwell had.

"W…what! A hundred billion and more?” Aiden exclaimed. “What about the hundred million in my account?!” He couldn't hide his astonishment.

"It’s all at your disposal, sir," Brandy stated.

Aiden gulped.

Yesterday, he had not spent up to a thousand dollars in a month because he did not have it. But here he was, obligated to fill a blank check.

Life was so magical.

He took the cheque and left the office with a heightened sense of optimism.

Even the air seemed to be much fresher than before.

"This is the man. Catch him immediately!"

As he stepped out of the elevator on the ground floor, the receptionist shouted with a high-pitched voice immediately.

“Oh come on, here she is again.” Aiden sighed, frowning. His ears ached.

Should he praise her dutifulness as his employee?

She strode towards him with two security men behind her, and he was already prepared for her drama.

“We need to send him to the police station.” She raised her chin, giving orders to the security guards. Like a general.

"I would not do that to the president if I were you," Aiden gazed at them, folding his arms.

The security men stopped immediately.

“Oh, geez! That’s the worst joke I’ve heard! You’re the president? Well, I’m the president’s wife!”

Aiden coughed. "You wouldn't fit into such shoes."

She glared at Aiden disdainfully like he’s a psycho then turned to the security men who stayed behind her.

"Come on! He’s bullshiting! Take him away from here,"

"Go ahead, take me away from here." Aiden stated firmly and moved forward.

When she noticed that he was coming closer to her, she quickly hid behind the security men.

"Take him out of here," she shrieked. "Or I will call the cops now," she added in a bid to threaten him.

"What are you all doing?!" A serious voice said behind them.
