Flynn didn’t say anything and followed Scarlet to save face.
Soon, the four of them arrived at the top floor.
Flynn and Scarlet were laughing and chatting all the way, while Clayton was extremely annoyed.
Maria seemed to sense his anger and comforted him by saying, “Scarlet is too young and naive; she’s easily fooled. But once she spends some time with you and Flynn, she’ll naturally realize your differences and distance herself from him.”
“Don’t worry; my daughter will never marry a convict. I will always be on your side!”
Upon hearing this, Clayton felt much better.
Four people arrived outside Charlie’s suite, where a dozen men and women were sitting in the nearby lounge area.
They were dressed in luxury attire, carrying briefcases, all wearing mournful expressions and restless with anxiety.
It was clear that they had been rejected by Charlie.
Scarlet exclaimed in surprise, “There are so many people outside Mr. Carlson’s door. Are they all here to seek cooperation?”
Maria glanced at her disdainfully and coldly said, “Now you know how unattainable Mr. Carlson is!”
“He wouldn’t even come down. It would be good enough if we could knock on his door!”
Flynn touched his nose and also seemed slightly stunned.
Is Charlie really that arrogant?
I didn’t see it when I was at the Wong family. When I left, he personally saw me off and even opened the car door for me.
He even handed me his business card, but I didn’t accept it.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll go and ask,” Clayton walked straight in.
After a moment, he came out and smiled at Maria, “Mrs. Wong, Mr. Carlson has agreed to give you ten minutes. You must seize this opportunity!”
Maria immediately became excited and said to Scarlet, “You two wait here!”
Her voice was stern, carrying a reprimanding tone, not giving the two of them a friendly face, leaving Scarlet speechless.
“Why so harsh? Seriously, she was strict when I was a kid, and I thought things would get better as I grew up, but she’s become even more demanding. It’s so annoying!” Scarlet started complaining.
Flynn smiled and comforted her, “Actually, I envy you. At least you still have a mother…”
As he said this, his eyes filled with helplessness and sadness, and he didn’t continue.
Scarlet tenderly held Flynn’s hand and placed it on her own leg, saying with concern, “Aren’t you investigating your mother’s enemies? Have you made any progress?”
Flynn shook his head and briefly recounted his visit to Matthew’s funeral home two days ago.
“I couldn’t find the crazy person, and I have no idea where the man with the Black Serpent tattoo on his hand is.”
“The old lady knows nothing about Wild’s case, but she does have a Heaven’s Punishment Ring, though apart from being extremely valuable, I can’t see anything special about it.”
Flynn shook his head.
“Heaven’s Punishment Ring?” Scarlet was slightly startled, then said, “Didn’t the largest jeweler in the Southern Territory come to Niarak?”
“He knows a lot. If he knows the history of the gemstone, we might have another clue.”
Flynn’s eyes lit up, getting excited.
Yes!
The gemstone on the Heaven’s Punishment Ring was twenty carats, as large as quail eggs.
Such a gemstone was extremely rare. If he could find out its original owner and further investigate, perhaps he could unravel the mystery of his mother’s identity!
“You’re really smart!” Flynn couldn’t help but praise.
Beautiful, good figure, intelligent, and perceptive. Oh! No, understanding. Where else can you find such a girl?
Especially those legs, the more you touch them, the more sensation you feel!
Flynn couldn’t help but caress them.
At that moment, Maria walked out with a downcast expression and saw Flynn’s hand on her daughter’s leg, immediately angry.
“What are you doing? Is this how you behave?”
“Scarlet, are you just sitting there letting him touch you?”
Clayton also followed and, upon seeing the scene, his face instantly turned dark.
If Flynn’s hand were on her knee, he could accept it.
Damn it, this guy’s hand is on her thigh root! They’re only a few centimeters away from crossing the line! He keeps rubbing back and forth and occasionally pinching.
This made his eyes narrow with fury.
What a beautiful woman, taken advantage of by an animal. Just thinking about it makes his heart bleed!
Clayton sneered, “No ability to solve problems, but an expert at taking advantage!”
Maria couldn’t help but become furious. “Flynn, don’t you plan on removing your hand?”
Reluctantly, Flynn moved his hand.
“Mom, did Mr. Carlson not agree?” Scarlet asked.
Maria glanced at her with dissatisfaction and said, “Mr. Carlson still isn’t convinced. He thinks Berrygate Group is too small and not worth mentioning.”
“Besides, there are many similar medicines available, so there’s no need to introduce our medicine.”
Clayton consoled, “Mrs. Wong, you don’t need to worry too much. I’ll talk to my Dad and ask him to intervene. Mr. Carlson will definitely change his mind.”
Maria shook her head and said, “Clayton, it’s useless. Didn’t you notice that Mr. Carlson chuckled when your family’s name was mentioned?”
Clayton fell silent.
He remembered Charlie’s words when he refused.
“Mr. Robinson, it’s because of your father that I decided to see you, but only to see you. I don’t want to help with Berrygate Group’s affairs.”
The refusal was swift and decisive.
But when he thought about it, it made sense. The Robinson family’s net worth was in the billions, but compared to the Carlson family, it was still several times less.
The Carlson family had a mayor, whose net worth exceeded 50 billion, and he was the largest distributor in the Southern Territory with countless connections. Naturally, they didn’t have to show respect to the Robinson family.
Maria rubbed her temples and sighed repeatedly, looking at Scarlet with some resentment. “Do you see? Without connections, we can’t move an inch!”
“Some things, even Clayton may not be able to help. What can you expect from Flynn, an ordinary person?”
Flynn couldn’t help but scoff, shaking his head. “Do you even find it difficult to move forward in small matters like this?”
“For Scarlet’s sake, I’ll go in and talk to him!”
Upon hearing this, Maria almost fainted from anger.
A small matter?
You couldn’t even handle the Robinson family with billions in wealth, and you call it a small matter?
If my daughter were just finding an ordinary person, it would be one thing. But how did she end up with this blunt, nonsense-talking person? What was she thinking?
Sigh! It’s my fault for being too focused on business and raising my daughter as a naive and sweet girl! I’ve failed miserably!
Clayton sneered and angrily said, “You overestimate yourself. Who do you think you are to make Mr. Carlson change his mind?”
“Don’t even talk about getting his help. You can’t even meet him in person!”
“In terms of status, position, and wealth, all these bosses here are a hundred times stronger than you. Look at what they’re doing. They can’t even get past the door!”
Flynn couldn’t be bothered to argue with him and pushed open the door to the suite, walking in.
Maria frowned. She didn’t expect the young man to be so clueless. He actually dared to go in and find Charlie?
Clayton coldly watched Flynn, a smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Inside the suite were more than a dozen burly bodyguards. If Flynn, being so careless, went in, he would probably face consequences!
When this lad is thrown out by the bodyguards, I want to see how he still has the face to appear in front of Scarlet!
