“Timothy Buosont? Shit! Why did he do that?”
Gritting his teeth, David growled, “Nina Houry is a shameless bitch! She’s a college freshman but has slept with Timothy Buosont and swept him off his feet.”
“Shit! What a slut!” Snowy echoed, cursing Nina.
Timothy was an ideal choice for husband. He was handsome, wealthy, and competent. Back then, she had purposely approached him for the family’s sake.
In fact, she did it willingly as she wished to marry Timothy.
However, Timothy didn’t give her any chance but slapped her across her face.
It was the biggest shame in Snowy’s life.
Since Nina had won Timothy’s favor, Snowy was indeed jealous.
She wondered why such a girl deserved Timothy.
“Stop cursing. It’s worthless. Do something. If this continues, our family will go to the dogs this time.”
Gordon flicked his hand to stop David and Snowy. He eagerly wished to resolve the crisis.
Timothy had done something, and the Houry family was in trouble.
“Grandpa, why don’t we go to Andreas Winfield, the oldest son of the Winfield family. His background is comparable to that of Timothy Buosont,” David suggested.
“Andreas Winfield? He did have quite a background, but he’s extremely greedy.”
Gordon narrowed his gaze and felt so tired. He knew Andreas Winfield well. The Winfield family was one of the tops in Stillwater, comparable to the Buosont family. In some aspects, they were even stronger.
However, Andreas was greedy, never letting go of anything.
People who cooperated with him in the end lost everything. Therefore, all people in Stillwater were alert to him.
“Andreas Winfield is greedy, but we have something he wants, Grandpa.”
“What do you mean?”
“Elise.”
David broke off and continued, “Elise was the most beautiful girl in Stillwater. Andreas Winfield used to pursue her but failed. We can make up for his regret this time if we send Elise to him. After Elise gave birth, her figure became better than before. Andreas Winfield won’t reject her.”
“Once we won his favor, our Houry family would have such a support in the future.”
His words reechoed in Gordon’s ears.
Gordon was moved. Although Elise was his granddaughter, she was nothing in front of the family’s prosperity.
After considering the pros and cons, Gordon agreed, “That works.”
“OK, Grandpa. I need your help this time.”
With an evil smile, David walked up. Gordon, David, and Snowy started planning how to set up Elise.
In their opinion, the Houry family would get so much better once Andreas accepted Elise. That was the best ending.
Whether Elise was happy or willing, they didn’t care.
…
In the Houry residence, Robin sat on the balcony while checking Timothy’s messages. He ordered Timothy to slowly ruin the Houry family step by step.
The Houry family had mistreated Elise.
If it was destroyed easily, it wouldn’t be fun. Robin would like them to feel despair while walking toward the end, which would torture them more.
Timothy messaged him.
Suddenly, a woman appeared at the door. Planting her hands on her hips, she snapped, “Robin, do the laundry. Hurry up! Just how dare you a lowly safety guard marry my daughter?”
That was Karen.
While ordering Robin, she heaped abuse on him.
The more she thought, the angrier she became. Elise was the most beautiful girl in Stillwater and Lands Corporation’s chairwoman of the board. However, Robin was just a security guard.
She never thought Robin deserved Elise.
Karen also found several men from excellent backgrounds for Elise. However, Elise rejected all of them, sending Karen into a rage.
“OK, Mrs. Houry,” Robin answered.
He pulled away his phone and did the laundry.
“Humph! What a loser!”
Karen spat at his back. She looked down on him more and more, thinking he was worthless and only relied on Elise.
Karen felt so unlucky to have such a son-in-law.
After venting her anger on Robin, she hung out with her friends. No matter what happened, she wouldn’t give up gathering with her friends.
Robin couldn’t do anything but do the laundry.
After all, it wasn’t the time for him to disclose his identity. Once he did it, the mastermind of the incident seven years ago would hide. Then it would be more challenging for him to find the truth.
Luckily, Jeff had found a clue.
The truth would be disclosed soon.
When Elise returned home at night, she felt exhausted. Sitting on the sofa, she looked worried.
“What’s wrong?” Robin walked towards her and asked.
“Grandpa asked me to go back tomorrow, and he said he wanted to apologize to me. He said he had made some mistakes before and would let all other family members follow my lead.”
Elise remarked in disbelief, “It’s supposed to be good news. Lands Corporation belonged to me to begin with. I deserve to take it back. But my hunch told me there must be something wrong.”
“I agree.”
Robin nodded.
He didn’t think Gordon was so kind to let Elise be in charge of Lands Corporation.
“I’ll go back, anyway. I cannot retreat. This is a chance I can make Lands Corporation mine. I’ve been dreaming of this chance.”
Elise bit her lip hard, unwilling to give up such a rare opportunity.
All members of the Houry family had been placed in each critical positions in Lands Corporation. Finally, Elise had become the chairwoman of the board again, but none would listen to her.
She had only a title.
On the surface, she owned Lands Corporation, but she didn’t. She even couldn’t order anyone to do anything. Occasionally, the employees greeted her but had never listened to her.
Elise wouldn’t let go of the opportunity to take back her company if they could listen to her from now on.
“I can go with you,” Robin suggested.
“No. You also need to go to work and save more money. You need to save at least four hundred thousand dollars in six months.”
As soon as Elise reminded Robin, she regretted it. She had avoided discussing it with him since the very beginning. Even Elise found it challenging to save four hundred thousand dollars in six months, let alone Robin, who made little money from his security guard job.
It would be impossible for him to make so much money. Besides, only five months were left.
Elise could imagine the scene where they divorced in five months, which would indeed happen.
Thinking of that, Elise was afraid Robin would feel upset. She hurriedly changed the subject. “No worries, Robin. No matter what, I grew up with David and Snowy. We’re all blood-related. I don’t think Grandpa would go too far.”
