Chapter 469: What Did You Say?
Chapter 469: What Did You Say?
"Mr. Smith, you're here. Why didn't you tell me so that I could greet you at the door?"
The woman smiled charmingly.
But Elaine had this evil thought that this young woman might be Atwood's mistress. That would be fun.
Atwood smiled tenderly. "Meghan, you are still this capable. You know what? I will be so happy if you and Emmett got together back then."
(⊙_⊙) Elaine was shocked!
Holy shit, it turned out that Atwood wanted this beautiful woman to marry Emmett. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Meghan smiled faintly. "You're joking. I'm older than Emmett. I don't want to be dumped by that cold brat when I get old. That would be too miserable. Just come inside."
Meghan glanced at Elaine.
Why did such a beautiful girl come here with Atwood? He was a sly old fox.
Atwood shook his head. "No. I know that Emmett is not worthy of you. Meghan, are you dating someone now?"
Meghan's face sunk. "It's the same. I've divorced. What else can I ask for? It's fine, Mr. Smith. Don't worry about me. I'll live well by myself."
Atwood wanted to say something, but Elaine was still behind him. So, he held back and stopped talking.
Elaine followed Atwood into an exquisite box. The wall design was delicate and artistic. Elaine gradually calmed down as she looked at it.
...
Atwood waved his hand. Then his assistant and waiters left.
"Sit down." Atwood pointed at the tatami opposite him.
"Alright." Elaine sat down cross-legged, like an obedient pupil. She straightened her back and stared at Atwood.
Atwood was proficient in brewing tea. He was used to the tea art. And he knew how to use the little teapot and teacups. Atwood poured a small cup of green tea for Elaine. Then he took a sip and looked at Elaine, who was in a daze. "Try it?"
"Huh? Oh." Elaine picked up the teacup and imitated Atwood. She also took a sip and then just swallowed it. Unfortunately, she did not learn it well. She choked and coughed so hard that tears ran out of her eyes.
Elaine's face flushed red as she coughed and apologized. "I ... I ... am ... so ... sorry...."
God, she was screwed! She was so stupid that she embarrassed herself in front of Atwood.
Atwood was speechless as he looked at Elaine. He became even more determined to break Emmett and her up.
After Elaine got better, Atwood said slowly, "Are you going steady with Emmett?"
Elaine's heart skipped a beat. She immediately sat upright and nodded. "Yes! That's the plan! And we are going to get married! I...."
"Alright, listen to me. There's no rush to tell me everything now." Atwood interrupted Elaine. She blinked her eyes and her mind went blank. "Oh, what do you want to say?"
Atwood smiled faintly. "Elaine, I know that many girls would kill for Emmett because of our large business and important status in Asia. However, you should know that we have strict criteria for women marrying into our family. Your poor family, to be honest, is not worthy of us. You should know that Emmett is the boss of the Tianyi Group, and he is in charge of the largest gang, ZH Clan...."
"What did you say?" Elaine suddenly screamed, startling Atwood. He stopped and looked at Elaine in surprise.
...
Elaine blushed and asked anxiously, "What did you just say? Emmett is in charge of the largest gang?"
Elaine was frightened by this news. She knew that Emmett was good at martial arts. He was weirdly strong. She also knew that Emmett had many bodyguards by his side. And they had guns! They did look like gangsters. But ... she didn't know what Emmett had to do with the gangs! No one had told her that Emmett was the leader of the gang!
God, God, God! Gang boss! Her boyfriend was a gang boss!
She was thunderstruck.
She was terrified.
Atwood frowned. "It's not just the ZH Clan. Emmett also takes control of the most powerful assassins, the Ninja."
Assassins? (⊙_⊙)
Elaine trembled again.
Her eyes widened and her lips were trembling. "You, you mean ... Emmett is not only the boss of the Tianyi Group, but also the leader of a gang. And assassins?"
Atwood's face darkened. "Don't you know it?"
"Of course, no! Did anyone tell me? No!" Elaine almost broke down and shouted, "It's so ridiculous! Emmett has never told me this before. I thought he was just a businessman. I never thought ... So, he has been lying to me...."
Atwood was lost for words. Did Emmett need to lie? He should be proud of controlling both ZH Clan and Ninja. Emmett didn't need to hide it.
"Is there a need for him to lie to you?"
It would not embarrass Emmett.
"Yeah!" Elaine's eyes were wide open. She looked angry. "I won't even talk to him if I knew that he's a gangster! It's killing me! He's so handsome. Why is he a gang boss? Damn Emmett. He has been lying to me all this time!"
Atwood became speechless and helpless.
He never expected that Elaine would despise their business, which he had been proud of.
...
So what if Emmett was a gang boss? It was not an easy job, okay?
Why didn't Elaine try it herself?
Stupid woman!
Atwood coughed and pulled Elaine out of repeated words. He said coldly, "Since Emmett has lied to you, you will leave him now, right?"
Elaine calmed down.
"Why should I leave him?"
"Well, he lied to you. This is a sign of unfaithfulness."
Elaine scratched her hair. She could not follow Atwood. "He must have a reason for doing so. Perhaps he just doesn’t want to scare me. Of course, I am very angry that he didn't tell me about it. But I could punish him. For example, kneel on the washboard and cook for me for a month. Why would I break up with him?"
Atwood really didn't know what to say.
He couldn't understand what Elaine was thinking!
Atwood could only say that wise men could never understand or guide a fool!
If Emmett was here and saw Atwood's face, Emmett would slap the table and laugh loudly.
Atwood, who had been imposing and commanding, was driven crazy by Elaine.
"So, you won't break up with Emmett?"
Elaine blinked her eyes, "Although Emmett is impatient and bossy with a bad temper, he actually treats me very well. If I taught him well, he could be a good husband in the future. So, why would I break up with him?"
Atwood laughed coldly in his heart.
"An idiot like you wants to 'teach Emmett'? Funny jokes."
"You will affect his career...."
"But he didn't say so. Your son is so smart. If I affected him, he would have left me before."
"You two don't look like a couple."
"That's right! I think so. I don't want to stand with him at all. He pulled me to his side. Can you tell him not to force me to go in public again? I don't like that kind of place."
...
Atwood was simply speechless! He found that he had followed this stupid girl and forgot why he came to see her today. God.
"Have your tea!" Atwood didn't know what else he could say.
Elaine picked up the cup and drank it. She took a sip, and her face twisted. So, she said, "Grandpa, it's cold."
"Oh, I'll get you ... Wait! What did you call me just now?"
Atwood stared at Elaine with his eyes wide open. He was holding the teapot and pouring tea for Elaine.
Elaine was stunned and blinked, "What did I call you?" She forgot.
"You call me grandpa! Am I that old? Do you look like an old man? Do the old men in vests look younger than me? No, it can't be!"
Elaine was flustered. "Oh, I was wrong. I will change back to Mr. Smith."
Atwood rolled his eyes and raised his chin.
