Faux Vows, True Desires

Ten minutes later.

Madeleine strutted into the office with an air of superiority. Rocking her hips in high heels, she made her way into Keith's office in a seductive manner.

Keith's secretary nervously explained to him, "Mr. Vice President, Ms. Porter insisted on seeing you. I couldn't stop her."

"Got it, you go get on with your work."

Keith gestured to his secretary to leave.

Madeleine was always pushy and aggressive. Even if he didn't want to see her, the moment she barged into Blue Corporation, his secretary could do nothing to stop her from doing what she wanted. Madeleine walked up to him, leaning on his desk and looming over Keith.

Keith bore some resemblance to his father but was not as mature and steady as Nathan.

In Madeleine's eyes, Keith, two years her junior, was just a young lad. Although he had some skills, she didn't take him quite seriously, thanks to her reliance on the Porter family and Nathan. Recalling her failed attempts to undermine Keith, Madeleine quietly toned down her arrogance.

She needed to take Keith seriously at that time.

He was her number one enemy. Only when Nathan had no heir would he be desperate enough to have a child with her.

Keith lifted his wrist, glanced at his watch and said coldly, "One and a half minutes of your five are already gone."

Madeleine calmly said, "Keith, I just have a few questions for you. Where is your dad?"

Without Nathan around, she had nothing to lean on and couldn't be pushy.

Madeleine slightly toned down her aggressive attitude.

Keith said coldly, "My father is closer to you than me. Where he went, shouldn't you know that better? He never tells me where he's going or what he's doing. Sometimes, I even have to learn about his whereabouts from you."

"Don't play the victim card. You're his son. Even if he's displeased with you, he's still your father. How could he not tell you where he's going? He said he was on a business trip. Where is he on a business trip? Does he need to hide it from me?"
