Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 80: You did well

Elder Allen hoped Desmond would have maintained the status quo of the Allen family and its rules and regulations but unfortunately he didn’t.

"Jessica, you did well to report this matter. I had no idea such a rule was existed in our stores." Elder Allen said, his tone firm.

His sharp gaze swept over Desmond and Aaron, lingering on them with silent scrutiny.

"Dad, maybe I can explain why that rule was put in place," Aaron spoke up cautiously.

Elder Allen’s gaze turned stern and cold. He might have been unaware of the specific rules being made, but he was certainly not blind to Desmond’s greed and his relentless desire for control.

"Are you saying the Allen family discriminates between the healthy and unhealthy?" He questioned coldly.

Desmond was stumped; he hadn’t expected such a reaction. With so many gazes fixed on him, he swallowed hard. "I understand, Father. I will take care of it," he said, his tone forced.

As he spoke, his icy glare landed on Jessica, but she only responded with a bright, almost mocking smile, her expression not flattering in any bit.

Jessica smiled again, this time with an edge of amusement. "I’m relieved to hear that. After all, a mall under the Allen Group should be welcoming to everyone, don’t you think?"

"You are right, concerning other matters you mentioned on the phone I will bring it to Desmond’s notice so it can be taken proper care of.

"Desmond, you might have your reason of making such rule but no matter the reason you have that should be terminated with immediate effect." Elder Allen thundered.

Desmond was furious within himself but he couldn’t let his rage show otherwise it would be counted as being petty. He decided to play the magnanimous one. "Dad, am sorry I did not think of it from that direction."
