The convenient Bride novel Chapter 232

"You came here yesterday?" Rogelio asked as he looked at Payton with alert in his eyes.

 

"Yes," Payton said, “I came here not only yesterday, but also the day before yesterday, but you are unwilling to see me.”

 

The day before yesterday? Rogelio frowned and thought for a moment before asking tentatively, "What is your relationship with Seneca?"

 

Payton replied with a smile, "His daughter is my sister-in-law."

 

"You're from the Ji family." Rogelio's expression instantly turned cold.

 

Payton: ...

 

This old man treated him as a member of the Ji family. He was really something.

 

Actually, Rogelio should not be blamed for this. In Rogelio'’s impression, the daughter of Seneca and his first wife, Rosiley, was not married yet, and the one who got engaged was the stepdaughter, Rorey and her fiancé was Yunis, who was originally engaged to Rosiley.

 

Therefore, when Payton said that Seneca's daughter was his sister-in-law, Rogelio instinctively interpreted the word "daughter" as Rorey, so he took him as a member of the Ji family.

 

Payton coughed and explained, "Sir, the sister-in-law I'm talking about is Rosiley, the daughter of Seneca."

 

"Rosiley?" Rogelio frowned suspiciously, “Isn't she unmarried?"

 

"She was married, but very few people know." Payton subconsciously looked at Rosiley. Rosiley pursed her lips and walked over, calling out, "Mr. Rogelio."

 

Hearing this, Rogelio raised his head to take a look. The moment he saw Rosiley, his eyes were filled with excitement. He exclaimed,

 

"Rosiley."

 

Rosiley smiled gently, "Yeah, it's me."

 

Then, she walked to Payton's side and continued, "Mr. Rogelio, you should know why I'm here today. You told me about your decision the day before yesterday, but I want to try again."

 

She was honest and straightforward, and she explained her intentions clearly.

 

Rogelio smiled resignedly. "Rosiley, why are you doing this?"

 

Rosiley took a deep breath and pursed her lips. "Mr. Rogelio, the Tang Group is my father's lifetime's work. I can't let it fall into the hands of those who harbor evil intentions.”

 

She was only in her twenties, but she had a mature personality that did not match her age. Rogelio’s heart was filled with mixed feelings. He did not know if he should be gratified or distressed.

 

Rogelio sighed and then asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

 

Although Rogelio was old, his mind was still clear. Since she was here again, she must have come prepared.

 

"Mr. Rogelio, you play chess with him." Rosiley pointed at Payton and said, "If he wins, then promise me to stand on my side."

 

Rogelio looked up and stared at Payton. His eyes were as calm as water surface, making it impossible for anyone to see through his thoughts.

 

Payton raised his eyebrows slightly. This Rogelio had stories.

 

After a long time, Rogelio nodded, "Fine, as long as he wins against me, I will agree to it.’

 

When Rosiley, who was worried that he would not agree, heard it, the smile on her face became so bright and dazzling like the sunlight after the rain.

 

"Thank you, Mr. Rogelio." Her voice trembled slightly due to excitement.

 

"No need to thank me in a hurry. Leave it after he wins against me."

 

Rogelio began to set up his chess pieces, while Payton had done so.

 

This was the chess game that would determine the outcome for Rosiley tomorrow. Payton knew that he must not lose.

 

Because he knew that Rogelio's skills were very advanced and he might not be inferior to Sachin, Payton used 200% of his seriousness in this game.

 

But the result was beyond his expectations.

 

Thirty minutes later, Payton won amidst the excited cries of the crowd.

 

On the chessboard, Rogelio's king was alone and there were no other chess pieces to protect it, so he was checkmated by Payton with a rook and a knight.
