“Don’t ask me for the taxi fare, either. You are the host of the top family in Stillwater. I don’t think you lack such money.” With those words, Robin flicked his hand and sat in his Hummer.
“Boom!” His vehicle was pulled away, as did the rest 11 Hummers, making a powerful vibe.
“Did he… reject me?” Constance was still baffled and couldn’t believe Robin had said no to her.
It had never happened to her. As the most famous businesswoman and the hostess of the top family in Stillwater, Constance was the target men wanted to conquer the most. She took the initiative to hit on Mr. X without setting him up, aiming to win his heart.
However, Mr. X rejected her without hesitating. This was the first time her invitation was refused. Constance was dumbfounded. She even doubted if something was wrong with her appearance, wondering if Mr. X’s wife was more charming than her.
However, Constance couldn’t waste time thinking about it. She needed to check on Bradley, who was her ally. He couldn’t die.
When Constance saw Bradley, she was startled. Bradley wasn’t injured and put on clean clothes. Besides another dead body and a man rolling in the pain on the ground, the Conwyns were safe and sound.
Constance was horrified, though. Usually, Bradley used to be as fierce as a tiger. When others confronted him, they were too fearful of uttering a word. Unfortunately, Constance didn’t see it in him any longer.
Bradley looked weak and timid, reminding her of a sick cat. Constance immediately realized he had become worthless.
“Alas…” Bradley heaved a sigh after seeing her. “When I finally faced Mr. X, I realized how horrible he was.” He was scared shitless and became a sick cat.
“He’s horrible, which I agree. Stillwater is our territory. I never admit to being trounced. Even if he were Mars, I would win against him.”
A vicious look flashed through Constance’s eyes. She was a bigwig in Stillwater, which was her territory. She had the confidence to defeat Mr. X.
Bradley couldn’t find his tongue.
“Take a rest. I’ll need to use Conwyn Corp’s resources. Let me deal with him.” With those words, Constance turned away.
The top three families in Stillwater united and developed together. The Conwyn family was Constance’s ally, and she couldn’t dump them. Besides, Mr. X had mentioned his next target was the Brighton family.
Constance left Conwyn’s Residence and ordered her secretary, “I’m serious this time. Use all resources of the Bright Group and Conwyn Corp to ban Landview Inc. Before today ends, I need the company to go bankrupt.”
“I’ve been in Stillwater for decades. I don’t believe I’d be defeated by the so-called Mr. X, who even dares not to show his face.” Constance stopped being playful.
She gave several commands to the Brighton Group and Conwyn Corp. ‘Mr. X, you want to protect Landview Inc., don’t you? You also snatched my car to its president. I’ll bankrupt the company and let you know your effort will be useless.’
Meanwhile, Melody went to Elise’s office in Landview and knocked on the door.
Elise was reading a file. Raising her head, she answered, “Enter, please.”
Melody walked in, wearing a business suit. Although she also looked charming, she couldn’t be comparable to Elise. After all, she was a fresh graduate and not mature. However, she always kept being professional.
“Hello, Ms. House,” Elise immediately stood up and greeted her.
Melody looked at her, her eyes full of mixed feelings. She envied Elise too much. After calming down, she said, “Ms. Houry, Mr. X gave you a monthly bonus. It’s at the company entrance. Ms. Houry, please accept it.”
Melody recognized the Porsche Panamera was the latest version, drooling constantly. It was sold for 2. 4 million dollars but with a limited edition. In the black market, it had been sold at 10 million dollars in an auction. It was indeed a luxury car.
However, Robin gave it directly to his wife without hesitation.
Melody also wished to have such a husband, envy surging in her chest.
“A monthly bonus? Mr. X is truly generous.” Elise smiled without refusing. Melody told her it was a bonus, so she must accept it.
Elise gaped when she went downstairs and saw the red sports car at the entrance. “Gosh! What’s this? Panamera 97 with the latest design. I heard it was super difficult to get a purchase headcount.”
“It’s costly. Even the wealthy youngsters are willing to pay over 10 million dollars for it.”
“What a fancy car! I heard it was the monthly bonus from Mr. X to Ms. Houry. My goodness! Mr. X is so generous to give 10 million dollars as a monthly bonus. I’m in love with him.”
All the company employees were shocked about the car. It was pretty rare to see such a vehicle nationwide.
Elise flinched while staring at the Porsche. Instead of being joyful, she frowned. Mr. X gave her a Panamera with a limited edition. She had a feeling that he was doting on her.
The thought sent her into worry. Elise would owe Mr. X a big favor if she accepted the car. She was married.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t accept it.” Elise got closer to Melody and whispered, “It’s too costly for me.”
She implied she was married and couldn’t accept Mr. X’s expensive gift.
Melody screamed like crazy inwardly. ‘You can’t accept it? It’s a gift from your husband, Robin Bailey. It shows how much he loves you. I envy you so much, Ms. Houry. When can I find such a wonderful husband? How can you reject him?’
On the surface, Melody kept smiling. “Ms. Houry, I’m afraid you must accept it. It’s your bonus. In the future, Mr. X will also give bonuses to other employees. If you reject him this time, your employees won’t dare to accept the bonuses in the future. How could Mr. X appreciate them for their excellent performances then?”
Melody made an excuse and didn’t think Robin would do that to others. After all, Elise was the one he loved the most.
