Chapter 389: Chapter 237: Your Kept Men Are Turning on Each Other?
As he walked in, Pedro Langley sized up Katherine Collins, "What are you doing here?"
"Chatting."
Katherine Collins answered as if it were obvious.
"Five hours of chatting last time wasn’t enough?" Pedro Langley raised an eyebrow.
"..."
Katherine Collins, who was originally walking inside, stopped immediately upon hearing Pedro Langley’s words.
"No, are you..." Katherine Collins couldn’t hide her shock, "Choosing beauty over loyalty?"
"Yes."
Pedro Langley nodded leisurely, not ashamed at all.
Katherine Collins: "..."
"If you leave now, we can discuss future investments." Pedro Langley continued.
"Ah..." Katherine Collins brightened up, smiling, and said towards the inside, "Nora, I’ve got something to do, heading back first."
Nora Scott casually responded with an "oh."
Katherine Collins exhaled a sigh of relief, gestured a "good luck" sign to Pedro Langley as she passed by, "Good luck, may you get married soon and have two kids in three years!"
"Thanks for the good wishes."
Pedro Langley’s expression softened considerably.
Wow, he’s so easy to pacify...
Thinking of the endless stream of investments, Katherine Collins left smiling.
...
"No direct flights; they’re flying from Sand Delta to Lanel today, then from Lanel to Lai’an City tomorrow." Benjamin Durant was practically laughing over the phone, "Heard they lost it before boarding at the Sand Delta airport and only found out after reaching Lanel."
"Completely unnoticed?"
Leaning back in a wicker chair, Nora Scott crossed her legs, a faint smile on her lips.
"Yes! Completely unnoticed." Benjamin Durant was gloating, "Goods worth tens of millions, just gone like that. They wanted to participate in the National Museum exhibition as a private entity for a good reputation, but now..."
"No wonder."
Nora Scott narrowed her eyes slightly.
Simply seeking profit wouldn’t warrant such a spectacle.
Only reputation...
Being able to sneak it into at the National Museum exhibition, the fame from that could overshadow several big business deals.
"...By the way, what’s up with your actor friend, almost drove Humphrey mad today." Benjamin Durant was in a great mood, a laugh in his voice, "With him around, Humphrey has to be nice to Luke."
"What happened?"
Benjamin Durant clicked his tongue and began to recount—
"It’s unbelievable! I’ve never seen someone so oblivious to reading the room!"
"On the way, I introduced him to our Tofu Shop, said we could make anything. So first thing he does is ask for BBQ."
"There weren’t any BBQ ingredients in the store, and Humphrey wasn’t going to cater to him, so he refused to make it."
"So he deliberately annoyed Humphrey, betting on his cooking skills, ordered a bunch of BBQ from another place... Anyway, got Humphrey really upset."
"Just now Humphrey threw away all the BBQ he ordered and is cooking for him in the kitchen now."
After saying all this joyfully, Benjamin Durant quietly tattled, "He complains about the friends you’ve made in Fenton City, each one more problematic than the last, each one more irritating."
After hearing Benjamin Durant’s words, Nora Scott’s sense of crisis shot up, she furrowed her brows and quickly instructed, "Tell Jennings to make it taste bad."
"Why?"
Benjamin Durant was puzzled.
"Your grandpa Chapman wants to open a BBQ shop; he won’t give up until he succeeds. If he sets his eyes on Jennings, he’ll drag you to Fenton City with him." Nora Scott saw through Henry Chapman’s plot at a glance, her voice carrying a touch of ferocity as she gritted her teeth, "Are you willing to go?"
"Huh?"
Benjamin Durant was taken aback, unsure of her logic.
If he sets his eyes on Jennings...just don’t agree, right?
Nora Scott said word by word, "If I agree to him, he can take whoever he wants."
"...WTF???"
Immediately, chaos erupted on the other side of the call.
Benjamin Durant hung up the phone and ran off quickly.
Nora Scott set down her phone, looked up, and saw Pedro Langley standing to one side.
Pedro Langley lightly curled his lips, "Your wild men are having a falling out?"
