Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO Chapter 40 – Cara Williams' Call

Cole immediately sighed with mixed emotions.

At that moment… Ring! Ring! His phone rang, interrupting all his thoughts. Cole picked up his phone.

When he saw the caller's name, he was shocked…

Cara Williams! Why would she call me at this time?

He hurriedly picked up the phone. “Hello, Miss Williams.”

“Where are you?”

Cara asked him.

Scratching his head, Cole replied, “I'm at home. What's wrong?”

“The soup is not bad.”

Cara did not answer Cole's question. Instead, she changed the topic.

Cole was stunned. “Oh, oh…”

Cara suddenly asked, “Are you angry?” This shocked Cole. “I'm not. Why would you ask that?”

“Then why aren't you saying anything?”

Cole touched his nose. “I'm just… Uh, I'm a little tired. I can't think of anything to talk about.”

He stammered.

He felt a little guilty.

In his opinion, he was not so much angry as disappointed.

However, Cara ignored what he was saying. Instead, she continued, “Many people always stare at me everywhere, let alone at the entrance of the Williams Corporation. In front of so many people, if I make eye contact with you, you might be suspected of being my fiancé.

“Of course, I can deny everything. After all, they can't accuse me of anything just by looking at you.

“But these groundless rumors can arouse others' interest in you. When the time comes, if they dig deeper, you will appear in the headlines tomorrow.

“Besides, you're so proud that you don't even want to use the 1.5 million dollars. If others find out that you're with me, I'm afraid it'll be even harder for you to accept it.”

Cara finished speaking.

There was no joy or anger in her tone, but it was rare for her to be so patient.

Cole remained silent.

This was Cara's explanation.

He knew that this was Cara's protection for him.

“I-I know. I understand everything.”

Cole replied.

Although he said that, he still sighed in his heart…

They can not even make it public!

If I have to be protected even when meeting Cara, why would I get married to her?

Hearing Cole's words, Cara said again, “I didn't want to waste time explaining, but Uncle Hugh said that when you left, you looked dejected as if I didn't want you anymore.

“I can't bear that.”

This embarrassed Cole a little. “Really?”

Had I been discovered?

“You'll know when you look in the mirror,” Cara said in a teasing tone.

“Fine.”

Cole felt even more awkward.

“Besides, didn't you say that you wanted to avoid suspicion? Now you're dejected. Do you want to go public?”

Cara said, “You're such a contradictory man.”

Cole was a little ashamed. “Uh, this…”

“Alright, looks like you can accept my explanation. I'll get back to work.”

Cole touched his nose. “Alright, go ahead. I won't disturb you anymore.”

After that…

Cole waited for Cara to hang up.

However…

Cara Williams, who was supposed to hang up, suddenly said, “And…”

“What?”

The stunned Cole asked.

Cara continued, “If you want to see me in the future, don't come to the corporation. Let Uncle Hugh bring you to my house.”

Her tone was gentle.

It tugged at his heartstrings.

Cole felt his head explode and buzz…

Cara added, “Also, don't do these messy nutritious meals in the future. I don't want you to cook for other women.”

But Cole could no longer hear clearly.

He had exploded.

Now, he did not even know how to answer.

“Do you hear that?”

When Cara did not hear Cole Stone answer for a long time, she emphasized that.

Cole Stone seemed to have woken up from a dream. “I, I heard…”

“Okay.”

Cara hung up the call.

Cole looked at his phone. He was stunned for a long time before he slowly calmed down.

Then, he looked at his phone, shook his head, and cursed…

He had nothing to say.

Although he clearly did not want to get married, he was now flustered because of a sentence.

Nevertheless, Cole could not help but smile…

At the same time…

In the city center of Sky City, in a high-end western restaurant, two men were sitting opposite each other and drinking.

An old man and a young man!

The old man was about fifty years old. He had worn a brown suit and had a beard, but he was meticulously groomed and looked extremely neat.

The younger one was in his thirties. He was sloppy and wore a denim jacket, looking extremely casual.

However, the denim jacket that should have been incompatible with the elegant and luxurious environment of a western restaurant did not look out of place because of this man's aura.

Just as the two of them were drinking happily, a man walked into the restaurant.

It was Chris Hayes.

Chris's expression was strange. He could not describe his sadness and joy.

Seeing Chris walk over, the man in the suit spoke first. “You're here.”

The man in the suit had an intriguing smile on his face.

“Uncle, Brother.”

Chris approached and greeted the two of them.

The man in the suit was the fourth son of the Hayes family, Jayden Hayes.

The man in the denim jacket was Chris's younger brother, Steve Hayes.

Steve was the most popular candidate to lead the Hayes family.

He was a direct descendant, was talented, and had outstanding martial strength. Moreover, he had defeated all the people of the younger generation of the family.

It was also because of this that Chris Hayes had been ostracized and became the person who lost the most power in the younger generation of the family. He could not even compare to the collateral relatives.

The reason was that his brother was the most powerful person.

Therefore, the first person Steve had targeted was naturally Chris, who had the ability to threaten his position as the heir.

“How was it?”

Seeing Chris walk over, Steve calmly asked.
