Upon arriving at the hotel, Elise frowned, “How could they do that? Kneel down and apologize? Is that what men are supposed to do? They’re trampling on your dignity.”
“It’s okay.”
Robin Bailey looked at Elise and instantly felt better.
Even though everyone was making things difficult for him, at least his wife was still defending him, and it was like a bonfire in the snowy night that he wanted to guard desperately.
Of course no men should get on his knees easily. The last time, he did that for Elise and Leslie.
He did not regret that.
Robin Bailey took Leslie back, and the three of them shared a room. Robin Bailey slept on the coach and as long as Elise did not ask him to, he would never get on her bed.
That was the rule.
The next morning, Elise packed up and left the hotel. She did not inform Robin Bailey and Leslie, but still, the moment she left, Robin Bailey woke up.
“My good wife, how could I let you face all this alone.”
He then dropped Leslie off at the kindergarten and rushed to Lands Corporation.
At Lands Corporation, they were having a meeting in the middle of the hall, and everyone in the company was having their eyes on the hall.
Reginald Lucas took the head seat, Snowy to his left, and David to his right, and in Gordon Houry’s absence today, the two of them were the representatives of their company.
“Oh, you’re here all alone, so where is Robin Bailey?”
Reginald Lucas sat down in his chair and looked at Elise in the middle of the crowd. She looked so pitiful now, but there was a touch of stubbornness in her eyes.
This was the woman he wanted to conquer.
The most beautiful woman in Stillwater.
“Haha, I don’t think that wimp would dare to come. After all, if he comes, he would have to kneel down and apologize. How could he bear it!”
“That wimp must have left Elise behind and run away. I don’t know why Elise would want such a man.”
“How could that loser run away? Everyone’s here for him today. If he’s not here, then who’s going to kneel down and apologize? Then won’t our company go bankrupt?”
“But Elise is right there. I have heard that Master Lucas has always liked Elise. Maybe he can just take her for that.”
Everyone was talking, and many of them started talking about Elise, and someone even said that Elise should go with Master Lucas.
Most of them were actually her own relatives.
“My husband is not feeling…”
Elise was going to say that he was not feeling well today, but then a hand landed on her shoulder. A man stepped forward to the front, and said in a stern tone, “I was not feeling well, but I have seen the doctor and I am here now.”
“Honey.”
Elise looked at that somewhat thin, but unusually broad shoulders in front of her. For a moment, the corners of her eyes were a little wet, but she still asked, “Why are you here?”
“If I am not here, they will bully you.”
Robin Bailey turned back, touched Elise’s cheek with one hand, and said softly, “Now, leave it to me.”
“I didn’t expect that this wimp would really come. That’s a real surprise. It seems that we will have a good show of this Robin Bailey getting on his knees.”
“So what if he just comes. He still has to get on his knees and apologize. Maybe Master Lucas can let him go if he’s lucky.”
The group of people looked at Robin Bailey with disgust.
“Damn.”
When Reginald Lucas saw this intimate scene between the two, he was enraged. He always thought he could easily get Elise, but now there was suddenly a Robin Bailey and he took Elise away.
Elise should be his.
That Robin Bailey was just a clown and was not worthy of having such a beauty.
“Robin Bailey, are you here to get on your knees and apologize Master Lucas?”
David, who was watching Reginald Lucas’ face from the side, stood out and said to Robin Bailey, and he said it loud enough for everyone to hear him.
He just wanted to humiliate Robin Bailey.
When he heard these words, Reginald Lucas looked slightly better and even a bit satisfied. David really knew him, he found.
Everyone turned their attention to Robin Bailey, who they thought must have come to kneel and apologize today, but at that moment, Robin Bailey looked at David and said, “Why should I kneel?”
The crowd froze.
So he would not submit today?
“Robin Bailey, are you a fool? Lucas Corporation has blacklisted our company and our largest distribution partners have all terminated their contracts with us. Our company will soon go bankrupt.”
David had deliberately exagerated a bit about the loss, and then he said, “Now you can fix all this only if you get on your knees and apologize to Master Lucas. Do it if you do not want the company founded single-handedly by your wife to go bankrupt.”
In order to threaten Robin Bailey, he even said Lands Corporation was founded single-handedly by Elise.
Although he had been shading this fact, indeed Lands Corporation belonged to Elise, and Elise built it when she was still at the university.
Only, now it was his.
“Lands Corporation belongs to my wife, and I know that.”
Robin Bailey nodded, then said, “But what does this have to do with kneeling? Since they terminated the contracts, we can always find new partners. Is it even a big deal?”
“New partners?”
David froze, and then the corners of his mouth hooked up into a disdainful smile, “You are indeed just a beggar. No one in the entire city would work with us when Lucas Corporation tells them not to.”
“Yeah, how dare a wimp teach us business these days?”
Snowy also said.
Elise also wanted to say something, but finally she decided to trust Robin Bailey and didn’t say anything.
“Robin Bailey, Robin Bailey, I don’t know if you are stupid or what, but here in Stillwater, no one would dare to go against Lucas Corporation and be your partner, since no one could ever withstand the retaliation of Lucas Corporation.”
Reginald Lucas laughed out loud and patted his chair.
However, at that moment, someone came in from the outside and his smile instantly came to an abrupt stop. It was a dignified looking man, who came in and immediately stood behind Robin Bailey. He looked at Reginald Lucas, “Really?”
“I, Timothy Buosont, the eldest son of the Buosont family and president of the Buosont Group, have been invited by Mr. Bailey to be a partner of Lands Corporation, so we will be looking forward to your retaliation then.”
