36 Ways To Chase After My Wife’s Love - Chapter 155

But Peter didn’t seem satisfied enough. He became more and more active in sneering at him.

He patted Richard on the shoulder, “Uncle, there’s no need to make things so complicated! If a shareholder sells his shares, of course, it is the business owner who should buy the shares. If another shareholder buys it, it means you don’t deserve that seat! Other people’s shares alone are bigger than yours, don’t you think?”

It was clear that Peter was insulting him, insulting his incompetence. He wanted to avenge Peter, but everything he said was the undeniable truth.

Even Richard had given up from the start and didn’t want to refuse, but if he took that capital, then GohCrop’s finances would definitely be shaken. How could he handle it? Or where would he get investors who can help him in dealing with financial problems later?

“Why? Uncle, are you worried about the fate of this small company of yours?” Peter showed a devilish grin at the corners of his lips.

Richard didn’t look at him, not the least bit interested in talking to him. Just as he was about to answer, Peter had spoken again, “But I can help you. You know, the problems the Swan enterprise is currently facing are just a matter of time, we will go through it anyway. When I have solved all the problems in my company, I will come back to see you with a loan of more capital than before, as long as…”

Peter deliberately hung his words, he wanted to wait for Richard’s reaction. It would be wonderful if this middle-aged man looked very tempted by the offer he brought earlier. However, even if it wasn’t so, he would still say his word.

And sadly, Richard was as silent as a breathing statue! Even his eyelashes didn’t quiver, he wasn’t interested at all! But that’s okay, Peter unknowingly continued the words that were deliberately hung earlier.

“As long as… You give up your beloved daughter to be my woman! Oh, not my woman, rather, my slave! The one I would approach if I wanted to-”

‘SLAAAPPP!’

A hard slap landed on Peter’s oval face!

Was he insulting his daughter? Did this man not realize that he was talking to a father who loves his daughter so much? Insulting his beloved daughter was tantamount to trampling on his pride! What an ignorant man!

Peter was shocked. He touched his cheek which was hot from a hard slap, even now his ears were still buzzing!

“You!!!” He no longer used the word ‘uncle’ to address Richard. His heart was already filled with steamy anger, how could he possibly remember that with courtesy!

“How dare you slap me!” He added.

“Go home. I will ask a lawyer to take care of the return of your capital along with all financial data. You won’t lose anything or lack anything.” Richard didn’t want to argue with this bully man. After all, he was a middle-aged man. If they were to hit each other, how could he possibly win against a young boy who was still strong! Even if Peter broke one arm, it was still nothing compared to him who knew nothing about self-defense.

He was self-aware enough to understand the situation, so he suppressed his anger! Considering the insults this fellow had hurled at his beloved daughter, he should have grabbed this man’s neck!

“Oh, after slapping me, you just ‘wash your hands’ like that?” Assumed all of that didn’t happen, huh! Haha, it was not that easy!

Richard knew this man would not be satisfied until he took revenge, hence Richard could only be firm and loud!

“This is my territory, your small shares still can’t make your head stand up here. Moreover, if I bought your shares. Do you think you still have the right to be here?”

Peter widened his eyes in disbelief! He didn’t expect to be humiliated like this.

“Good! I want to see what will happen to you if I withdraw all the funds I gave you!”

Richard: “…”

Before he left, Peter still managed to curse, “Please bury yourself with this company.”

Richard sat frozen. His mind kept spinning and wandering. Afraid? He was indeed so scared but he couldn’t possibly beg the man anymore!

Of all the things that bothered his mind, there was one thing that attracted him to give him gratitude, his favorite daughter did not marry a bad man like him.

The middle-aged man was blaming himself, ‘Why is he so stupid, he almost took part in destroying his only daughter’s life if that marriage happened!’ He felt a little guilty towards Kaili.

“It’s better to lose this company than to lose my daughter’s happiness,” he said, ending his reverie rather and sighing harshly.

????

In the afternoon when working hours were about to end, a phone call distracted Kaili. Before answering the incoming call, Kaili first stretched her neck and legs which felt sore from sitting all day, then she lazily took the phone that was on the table.

Her voluptuous lips curved into a faint smile when she saw the name on it, it was her husband!

Kaili did not delay to answer.

As soon as the call was connected, she could already hear Dexter’s shrill voice from the other side.

[Wife, I know you must be very hungry right now, let me take you to eat when you get home from work, okay?]

Dexter was outrageous! He had recorded in his brain that Kaili was an eater! Thinking that Kaili was a little annoyed!

“I’m not a pig! Why did you only call me to ask for a meal? Annoying!”

Dexter giggled, he teased his wife, [Ughh… Don’t humans eat?]

Kaili: “…”

It seemed that she had indeed been framed into indirectly denying her own answer!

[I will pick you up, we will eat. Get ready!]

“Eh… Wait! How about my car?”

On the other side, Dexter slapped his forehead. He even forgot about it.

“We will eat, but this time I will decide where to eat.”

She was not discussing! She couldn’t believe that it was Dexter who chose the place to eat. She was afraid that such a shameful incident would happen again.

[Are you afraid that I will pounce on you back at the restaurant?] Dexter didn’t forget that either!

Kaili’s face blushed. She was embarrassed to hear those blunt words! Dexter was shameless!

“You… If you don’t agree that I choose the place to eat this time, then there will be no dinner today!”

[My wife… Don’t take it seriously. I’ll go wherever you go!]

“Fine, I’ll send you the location. We’ll meet there!” The phone call ended.

When she was about to get ready to go home, Delwyn stopped her.

“Miss Goh, you want to go home?”

Kaili nodded, “Is there an order, director?”

“Ah, well… I’m planning to bring all the creative departments to dinner, what do you think?”

Uhhhh… “Me?” Kaili was confused] Was his opinion really important?

“Yeah, I plan to invite the creative department to have dinner together today, so we can all be more excited about this project.” Delwyn repeated it.

Kaili smiled, she was still a little confused, but she still replied, “That’s a very good idea. It can strengthen the relationship between other workers. But director, I’m sorry, I can’t join. I will have dinner with my husband.”

Delwyn: “…..”

His face darkened. He stiffly replied, “Then maybe this dinner will be held another time. I also just remembered that I still have some pending work to submit tomorrow. You… Be careful on the way home.”

Kaili nodded politely, after which she immediately bid a goodbye.

Delwyn looked disappointed but as soon as Kaili’s image disappeared, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

When the call was connected, he quickly said, “Have you taken all your capital? Is your funding for this advert sufficient?”

[Yes, I did. I’ve also even sold my shares and it’s currently in the process.]

“I’ve heard what I wanted to hear.” Delwyn prepared to hang up.

[Wait…! What is it that you want to hear?]

Delwyn panicked but still replied calmly, “You have the funds, so this ad will still run. I’m quite satisfied to hear that.”

The person on the phone was Peter, he just nodded in disbelief.

After the call was disconnected, Delwyn called someone again. It didn’t take long, the phone was connected.

“Do your job now!” Without waiting for a response from that person, Delwyn ended the call unilaterally.

????

Dexter arrived at the location Kaili sent, he already saw his wife leaning against the car door waiting for him.

“Why did we come here?” Dexter asked as soon as he approached Kaili because there was no restaurant around here.

“Of course to eat.” Kaili pointed to a small food stall by the side of the road.

Dexter looked around, there was only a small food stall with a blue tent. His brow furrowed, “Are you sure we eat here?” It was street food, in an open and noisy place.
