“How arrogant! They’re just going to leave? This crisis is all because of them, because of that Robin Bailey!”
“How dare that Robin Bailey hurt Master Lucas! How dare him!”
People in the office began to blame Elise and Robin Bailey.
And David showed a cold smile, “Heh, naive.”
When he got back to the Houry villa, Robin Bailey found Karen and Rodney in the living room. Rodney was sitting on the couch reading a newspaper, his face a little gloomy, and Karen was holding her hands and staring at him with a faint hostility.
“Robin Bailey, how dare you.”
When she saw Robin, Karen immediately began to scold.
“Mom.”
Elise stood in front of Robin at once.
“Heh, Robin Bailey, what a loser! Just whenever something happens you just hide behind a woman like that, right? Are you still a man? Get over here, we’re going to have a little chat today.”
Karen clasped her hands and frowned.
Elise wanted to say something else, but Robin grabbed her by the shoulders and whispered, “It’s alright. I can’t let you face it alone.”
Robin then stepped forward, “What are you trying to say?”
“Well, you’ve only been with us for a few days, but just look at the trouble you have made, and you have even messed with Lucas Corporation, and they’re going to blacklist us soon! And we’ll lose everything in no time. Look at you. Let’s not talk about Timothy Buosont now, but even just Reginald Lucas is already so much better than you are. Maybe he did something wrong, but that was just because he was not careful enough.”
“Then look at you! What do you have? You don’t have anything! How are you going to make my daughter happy? If you really want to help my daughter, then the day after tomorrow, you should go to the office, get down on your knees and beg for his forgiveness, so that everyone is happy.”
When she looked over at Robin, Karen’s gaze was filled with disdain, and then she added, “Anyway, you are born a beggar, so it should not be a problem to you. I can see you should have been used to it.”
Ten minutes ago, the family had informed them of the seriousness of the matter. If Robin Bailey did not go to the company the day after tomorrow and get on his knees, then Lands Corporation would be finished. They were just a small company with a market cap of tens of millions of dollars, so how could they fight with that conglomerate.
“But…” Rodney heard what she said and tried to stop her, but when he thought about what the family had told them – they had to get Robin Bailey to kneel to Reginald Lucas.
These were Gordon Houry’s words.
He did not say anything after all.
“Mom.” Elise tried to step forward, but Robin Bailey held out a hand to stop her, and then he turned to Karen and said even take care of anything? You are a beggar that lives off your wife. How dare you say that? How do you take responsibility?” Karen clasped her hands, and said all the mean words that came to her mind. Robin Bailey clenched his fists.
Back when he was in the army, no one dared to speak to him like that. He was a general, a Primus. He had killed hundreds of thousands of enemies. Even those warlords hardly dared to speak to him.
However.
Elise grabbed his shoulder and stepped forward, “Mom, I don’t care what you think, but he’s my husband, he’s my family, and I’m going to find a way to deal with this.”
Then she pulled Robin Bailey away, “Come on, let’s go back to our room.”
“Good.”
Robin Bailey looked at Elise protecting him and felt warmth in his heart, and the gloom he felt before had also dissipated. It was the best thing that ever happened to him to have a wife like that.
Only, as they were going up the stairs, Rodney suddenly spoke up, “I’ve been telling you. My daughter will not stay with losers. If you do love her, I think you should know what to do. But don’t worry, I won’t let Reginald Lucas and Elise get together. I can give you my word on this.”
Apparently, he wanted Robin Bailey to apologize to Reginald Lucas tomorrow on his knees.
“Dad, even you…” Elise glared at Rodney before hastily pulling Robin Bailey into her room and locking the door behind her.
Rodney sighed, “I really shouldn’t have let you stay, and we wouldn’t have had this happen.”
At that time, he had a moment of weakness and agreed for Robin Bailey to stay, but he did not expect that they immediately got into trouble with Lucas Corporation, and now the whole family was on the verge of destruction.
“I told you. I’ll find Elise a new husband, someone better than Timothy Buosont.” Karen immediately pulled out her phone, and found a list of available young men. She was pretty sure that he would definitely feel too ashamed to stay after Robin Bailey knelt in front of Reginald Lucas the day after. In time, Elise would be single again. She must find a good son-in-law this time, definitely not a trash like Robin Bailey again.
How could a trash be worthy of her daughter?
After they went back to their room, Elise sat down on the bed with worry on her face. She didn’t know what she could do herself, but she turned to Robin and said, “Don’t worry.” And at that moment, Robin reached out a hand and touched Elise’s cheek, “Smile. You look good when you smile.”
Pfft. Elise saw the way Robin Bailey was and burst into laughter, “You are even in a mood for such a silly joke. By the way, it’s half an hour before you have to pick up Leslie.”
“Yes, madam.” Robin Bailey stood up and saluted. In this world, only a very few people could deserve his salute.
“Go on.” Since she began to accept Robin Bailey, they began to have fun with each other and after a short while, Robin Bailey left the house for Leslie’s kindergarten. Elise continued in her own bedroom, trying to find a solution, “Just how mean this Lucas Corporation could be… Apologize on his knees… that’s sick… you guys should be broke…”
At that moment, Robin Bailey walked out of the villa and got on the bus. He made a phone call, “Timothy Buosont, come to 26 Donald Street. You have twenty minutes. Don’t be late. Your father should have taught you that.”
“Yes.” On the other side of the phone, Timothy Buosont was like a private back in the army. His father was a veteran, so since a young age, he had known how to respond to an order.
