Chapter 429 Love Isn’t Necessary

*”Did you order wine?”

Abel opened the door and got the bottle of red wine.

“We need some wine for this beautiful night!” Ingrid stood up, took the red wine from Abel, and then went to get two goblets. Ingrid opened the wine and poured it into the goblets. “For our alliance, cheers!”

Abel held his goblet and watched Ingrid clink hers against his. Abel did not drink the wine. He looked at Ingrid indifferently. “When did I agree to join hands with you?”

“Come on! Didn’t we have a discussion? Abel, think about the benefits I can bring you.” After a pause, Ingrid took a sip of red wine and continued, “As far as I know, you are not the most favored child in the Halpert family. You almost fell out with your family because of perfume. Do you want to turn back on your family? Aren’t you afraid of losing the support from your family?”

Abel looked at Ingrid with inquiries in his eyes.

“To be honest, I know that feeling because I have been slighted by my family for a long time. No matter how hard I work, they won’t give me a chance. Do you know why? Because I am a girl! Just because I am a woman! Don’t you think it absurd?”

Ingrid did not look at Abel when speaking. Her gaze landed on the goblet in her hand. The red wine in the goblet was beautiful, and it slid along the inside of the goblet. Its destination will be my stomach. Ingrid thought.

“Abel, you are different. You have the opportunity and ability. Are you willing to hand out what belongs to you? Why should you hand out what is supposed to be yours?”

Speaking, Ingrid poured herself some wine and soon drank half a bottle of wine.

Her speech became illogical.

Abel didn’t drink much. He listened quietly and felt that Ingrid seemed different from usual.

What happened to her tonight? Abel wondered.

Abel heard of the mess about the Petersen Group and had done an investigation about Ingrid. Abel

knew that Ingrid was supposed to be the only daughter of Shawn. However, Shawn had an illegitimate child and wanted to hand over the family business to him.

Ingrid was unsatisfied with this arrangement. She wanted to consolidate her position through her

marriage to Abel. This strategy wasn’t new in the upper class.

However, Abel disliked such a scheming woman.

Ingrid was scheming and shrewd, so Abel felt it tiresome to spend his life with such a woman. Abel thought, I will have to stay alert all the time in this marriage.

I want an easy life. Ingrid will be a good business partner.

Ingrid didn’t know what Abel was thinking. She simply listed all the pros and cons, and Abel became the best choice for her.

Abel had a good family background and was handsome. Never had Ingrid thought whether Abel liked her or not.

In her opinion, love didn’t matter in marriage because only benefits could bind the couple together forever!

Benefits could bring two different souls together or separate them!

Ingrid’s parents got married for their interests. They didn’t get divorced for the same reason.

Therefore, love isn’t necessary for a marriage. Ingrid thought.

“Abel…”Ingrid put down her goblet and stumbled into Abel’s arms. “Come on! You have no better choice than me! You have the best choice in your arms!”

Ingrid reached out a finger, tapped Abel on his nose, and smiled drunkenly.

Abel held Ingrid with one hand to prevent her from falling to the ground. He lowered his head and

looked at Ingrid’s face.

It is a beautiful face. However, I won’t feel at ease with a femme fatale at home. Abel thought.

The red lips approached Abel’s. Abel turned his head and avoided the kiss before it happened.

Ingrid missed her target and was stunned. She didn’t foresee that Abel would dodge this kiss. Is this man so decent? Ingrid wondered.

“You are drunk. You should go home now!” Abel said.

“Why?” Ingrid blinked and asked.

Abel felt that Ingrid was cute and pitiful at this moment. After a sigh, Abel picked up the goblet and drank a few mouthfuls of wine. “You are not my cup of tea.”

“Why?’ Ingrid frowned and tilted her head. “Do … you like Silvia too?”

Ingrid had fallen for Simon and wanted to marry him.

Simon was charming and taught Ingrid a lesson. After that, Ingrid gave up her ambition and looked for another candidate in her circle.

It wasn’t easy for Ingrid to find a suitable candidate like Abel. However, Abel refused to cooperate with her. Ingrid gritted her teeth with hatred.

Am I inferior to Silvia? Why do the men I chose to fall for her? Ingrid wondered.

Abel did not answer Ingrid because he was thinking about the question.

Abel was not sure if he loved Silvia. I do care about Silvia and want to conquer her. Does that mean love? I don’t think so. I don’t feel jealous of Simon when he appears with Silvia. Abel thought.

As for Ingrid, Abel felt sure that he didn’t like her. He felt horny with Ingrid in his arms. However, he instantly calmed down at the thought that he would have to spend the rest of his life with such a woman.

Abel didn’t explain, and Ingrid didn’t know him well. Therefore, Ingrid took this silence as acquiescence.

Ingrid sobered up. She distanced herself from Abel and turned cold. “Here is a tip for you. Silvia is loyal to Simon. I am afraid that you will waste your time if you court her.”

“Is the result important?” Abel looked at Ingrid and didn’t agree with her. “Don’t you think that the process is more exciting?”

Ingrid was speechless.

It seems he has set his mind on Silvia. If so, I have wasted my time. He won’t help me cope with Silvia. I lost this game at last! Ingrid thought.

“Got you. I won’t pester you anymore.” Ingrid combed her hair with her hand, picked up her coat, and put it on. Tying her belt, Ingrid said, “Another tip. If you want to tame Silvia, do it now.

“Silvia is under investigation for her malpractice, and the Petersen Group will sue her for adding prohibited ingredients. She will have to seek help if she doesn’t want to go to prison.”
