“I dare you to kill me!”
A murderous look flashed through Rory’s eyes.
His uncle Fletcher was the vice president of Lamonia Security Company. Therefore, Rory didn’t think Doug had the guts to end his life.
“Kill him!” Doug ordered coldly, much to his surprise.
“Roger!” the several hundreds of men answered thunderously, raising the broadswords in their hands.
They were underworld gangsters and often fought. Instantly, they rushed to Rory’s men.
Rory was shocked, looking baffled. He wondered if Doug had been nuts.
“Stop it! We’ll leave here now.” Rory yelled.
He had only brought 100 men with him. However, Doug arrived with at least 500. Rory couldn’t imagine how many of his subordinates would be killed and couldn’t guarantee he could leave safe and sound.
Therefore, he had to surrender.
“Stop it!” Robin gestured at Doug.
He didn’t want to see any violence at the entrance of Landview Inc. It was his precious wife’s territory.
“Yes, Mr. Bailey.” Doug’s men paused.
Before arriving, Doug had told them Robin’s order was the absolute command.
“Damn it!” Rory cursed and darted at Doug in hatred.
He ordered, “Let’s go!”
“Brat, you are lucky today. However, you cannot use violence to resolve every problem in Stillwater,” Elliott sneered with implications, poking his own head.
He hinted at Robin to do things smartly.
In fact, he hadn’t expected Robin to have anything to do with the underworld gangsters, except Robin was good at fighting. He guessed that was probably why Doug backed Robin up.
‘How stupid!’ he thought.
Doug offended Rory because of Robin. Rory wasn’t horrible, but Fletcher behind him was the one to pay more attention to.
Elliott left with Rory and his men in dismay.
“Mr. Bailey.” Doug walked to Robin.
“Jeff has done a good job in training you guys. You’ve looked different in a few days.” Robin looked at him up and down.
Doug’s character and temperament had changed, looking more determined and braver.
“Yes, Mr. Bailey.”
Doug nodded, but fear flashed through his eyes. In the past few days, Jeff had been like a demon. Dough and his men almost died in a forest.
However, they became different from ordinary gangsters after that.
“Mr. Bailey, we might be in trouble soon. Rory Jonas is Fletcher Jonas’ nephew. The latter is the vice president of Lamonia Security Company. We must be careful,” Doug reminded Robin.
Although he knew Robin was competent, everyone in Stillwater knew how horrible Lamonia Security Company was.
“I know Fletcher Jonas. He won’t do anything to you guys for the time being.”
Earlier, Jeff sent Fletcher’s profile to Robin. According to it, Fletcher was the wisest man in Lamonia Security company, in charge of the company’s business transactions. Therefore, he wouldn’t pay attention to a man like Robin.
Therefore, Robin guessed Scar would be sent to deal with Doug eventually.
The underworld had its own rules, and Fletcher wouldn’t do anything to Doug for the time being.
“If you are in trouble, call Jeff or me for help,” Robin said, patting Doug’s shoulder.
Doug wasn’t indecent in his eyes. Robin knew he had to become like this due to the things happening in his childhood.
Doug had chosen a path without turning back.
“OK, Mr. Bailey,” Doug answered.
“Take your men away. Or they’ll scare others.”
Since Robin ordered, Doug left with his men. Landview returned to normal.
“You are awesome, Mr. Bailey!”
Priya breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Robin in worship. Not every man was able to calmly face so many gangsters.
Besides, she saw those men obey Robin’s orders respectfully.
Priya was impressed.
Finally, she understood why Elise had accepted Robin. Earlier, she had been confusing. All the rumors about Robin in Stillwater were negative, such as he was a beggar, security guard, or a live-in son-in-law.
Although Priya talked to him politely, she looked down on him inwardly and didn’t think he deserved Elise.
However, after the scene, Priya realized Robin was a bigwig and understood why Elise had accepted him.
“OK. Go back to your work.”
Robin returned home after solving the problem. He wanted to take care of Elise, especially since she was in an unstable mood.
When he arrived home, Elise happened to wake up.
After sleeping in, Elise had a slight migraine after waking up. Flicking her hand, she said coquettishly, “I have a headache, Robin.”
Reaching out, she hinted at Robin to help her sit up.
However, the next second, she paused. Looking around with mixed feelings, she muttered, “I forgot I’d kicked Robin out.”
“Alas…” Elise heaved a sigh, feeling too weak. Her stomach growled as she was hungry. However, she didn’t think there was food in her house.
Suddenly, she noticed a note on the nightstand.
“Elise, you didn’t have dinner last night. You slept in and missed breakfast again. Now you cannot eat anything greasy. I left some congee in the pot for you. It might be too hot. Be careful.”
The note was from Robin.
The clock ticked.
While Elise was reading, tears sprung to her eyes. She muttered at a loss, “Why do you treat me so well. Do you know I’ve gradually fallen in love with you? Unfortunately… You are too incompetent to fulfill your promise. We’ll separate sooner or later. Why can’t you try harder?”
Staring at the note blankly, Elise didn’t know what to do.
Later, she wanted to ignore the note and lie down. However, her stomach growled again. She was starved, indeed. Pouting, she had to get up and go to the kitchen.
Standing in the kitchen, Elise looked at the congee in the pot and smelt the food fragrance. Swallowing, she muttered, “I’ll just eat it. It won’t deepen my love for him, right?”
“Ehn. It won’t.”
After hinting at herself, Elise grabbed a bowl, filled it with the congee, her favorite breakfast food, and sat at the table. She picked up a spoonful and tasted it.
“Yummy! Robin’s cooking skills are getting better,” Elise remarked.
The next second, she realized she was talking about Robin subconsciously again.
She wanted to stop relying on him too much, or she would love him more deeply.
While her mind was wandering, she continued to eat and enjoyed the food. Anyway, Robin wasn’t in, so he wouldn’t hear her.
Elise decided to fill her stomach first as she was too starved.
However, while she licked her lips after finishing a bowl, she was taken aback. Robin happened to watch her while leaning against the door. For how long, she didn’t know.
