“Cruz, I see you accepted the wine I brought last time. This time, I have… hmm? Ms. Sharp?!”
Layla smiled as she saw the door open.
She lifted her bottle of Romanee-Conti and was surprised to see Rose standing there. A look of shock crossed her face.
“Ms. Woods…” Rose nodded and was about to speak when she noticed Flynn on the sofa with only his head visible while his legs were shaking on top of a table.
“That person on the sofa is Cruz, right? Are you two…?” Layla furrowed her brow and asked.
Rose hesitated for a moment before understanding what Layla meant. Suddenly, an audacious idea came to mind as she closed the door gently behind her and stood at the entrance with a smile, “Ms. Woods, he’s tired today and doesn’t want to see you anymore in future.”
“But… but last time he…” Layla looked embarrassed.
Her heart was in turmoil as she left the Thodell Mansion quickly with her red wine in hand.
“Did War God get together with Rose?”
Layla stood outside the Thodell Mansion looking at its luxurious villa for a long time without dissipating from being shocked.
Rose appeared here late at night which made her suspect their relationship.
Layla felt disappointed that Cruz only wanted to drink with Rose instead of becoming friends when he accepted her wine last time.
And Cruz didn’t want Rose misunderstanding him so he asked Layla not to come again!
Did this mean that he didn’t want to be friends?
“Did you clear things up with that woman?” Flynn asked without lifting his head while sitting back up after seeing Rose sit back down on the sofa.
Rose pondered over it for some time before nodding slightly while asking casually, “When will Cruz return to Niarak?”
“Why are you asking me this? Do you want me introduce him?” Flynn sat up straight thinking about it, “He’s stationed in Phaka in northern territory where he settled down as Lieutenant General of Azure Dragon Special Forces.”
“His whereabouts are classified information so we can’t contact him directly.”
“I don’t know when he’ll be back.”
“But I heard him say that he might come back during thanksgiving.”
A hint of amusement flashed across Rose’s lips as she murmured, “So if we calculate it correctly, it should take more than a month before he returns.”
Flynn nodded and suddenly received a call from Madeline. He got up and went outside.
“Tomorrow is my mother’s birthday. We have reserved three tables at the Chateau Hotel, and all our relatives will be there, including my grandfather,” Madeline’s cold voice sounded tired.
After what happened at the Fish Dragon Villa, she was extremely disappointed in Flynn. She had offended Braiden at the banquet, Ismael on the basketball court, and Danna in the parking lot. Looking back now, she should have kicked Flynn out after their encounter at the Fish Dragon Villa!
Madeline continued, “This is my mother’s fiftieth birthday and also my parents’ thirtieth wedding anniversary.”
“Don’t cause any trouble again; otherwise, I won’t let it go!”
“Remember, sixth floor of Chateau Hotel tomorrow morning at ten o’clock! Don’t be late!”
Flynn frowned sharply after hearing this and asked, “Why did you sell your land to Rose? Didn’t you say you were going to keep it?”
“The company had some problems; we needed money so we sold it.”
“Besides that piece of land isn’t worth much anyway. Isn’t it good for Ms. Sharp to buy it for growing herbs?”
“You sold your lands too.”
“Well anyway Rose’s billions of financing will eventually be exhausted in competition with Swanson, Woods and Hussain families; who wouldn’t want that?” Madeline said indifferently.
“You guys are really not destined for wealth! Such a good opportunity… oh well,” Flynn sighed before asking. “You said something happened with the company? Didn’t you just receive an order from the Rhinowares Group? There shouldn’t be any funding issues then!”
“The company’s affairs have nothing to do with you; don’t ask about them anymore. I’ll handle them myself,” Madeline replied coldly.
“So now you’re blaming me for trusting Alan which caused losses to your company as well as spending all your savings?”
“Don’t worry; once I make money back I’ll pay you back with interest too!”
Without waiting for Flynn to speak again, Madeline hung up her phone.
“I really don’t know what’s going on inside your head!” Flynn was quite annoyed as he put his phone into his pocket.
He was about to enter his house when he realized that the door was locked!
“Hey! Open up!” He vented his frustration by kicking heavily on the door.
Suddenly he saw a set of BMW X5 keys underfoot.
“Borrow me this villa for two days while you go sleep in a hotel.”
The door monitor beeped and Rose’s stunning face appeared on the screen, with a faint smile.
“What’s up? No way!” Flynn immediately became unhappy and checked his pockets, realizing that he had left his keys on the living room table. He scowled and said, “Hey! This is my house. Aren’t you going too far?”
Rose remained calm and replied, “Didn’t you say this villa was no different from an ordinary house? Demon Island’s houses are more comfortable.”
“If anywhere is fine to live in, then lend me your villa for two days. You can stay at a hotel for two days; I’ll pay for it!”
“Since you have so many cars here, keep the BMW X6 for yourself. Goodnight!” The monitor turned off.
“What?!” Flynn was starting to lose it and angrily shouted, “Rose, you bad woman! You tricked me again!”
“I didn’t expect you to be so vain!” Just as his anger was rising rapidly, there came another voice from inside the door.
“Nonsense! I’m still a girl; not yet a woman!”
“Well then I wish you’ll always be a girl who can never find a husband,” Flynn retorted furiously as he picked up the key to BMW X6 before leaving the villa in frustration.
As soon as he arrived at BMW X5 nearby, ten thousand dollars came through What’s App along with a message, “This is enough for two days’ rent if there are no special services.”
Flynn accepted it with dark face and replied, “Rose, you’ve gone too far! If you trick me again in future, I will beat you down on ground!”
“My mother-in-law’s birthday is tomorrow; pick out something good from the collection room, and bring it to Energence Pharmaceuticals tomorrow.”
“I’ve been fooled twice by this woman! Damn… Ahhhhhh!!” With that, Flynn slammed shut car door hard before stepping on gas pedal heavily, roaring away from mountaintop.
Even the smoke emitted by BMW X6 expressed dissatisfaction towards Rose.
As soon as BMW X6 descended Plenilune Mountain Road, it suddenly encountered a red Ferrari blocking its path. Layla got out of her car, tapped Flynn’s window coldly asking, “When did Cruz come to Niarak? When did Rose hook up with him?”
Layla was about to drive away when she saw a BMW X6 parked at the front of Thodell Mansion, descending from the hill.
Seeing that Flynn was the one driving, she signaled him to stop directly.
