Chapter 243 Walk on Others' Paths, Leaving Them No Way Out
Grandpa Luna passed away earlier than her parents, and Alice hasn't had a peaceful life these years. Whenever she saw an old man with good financial background who had lost his wife, she would actively approach him.
Even if it was just for a meal, she was happy.
But most of the time, nothing came of it.
After all, wealthy old men are all shrewd. To put it bluntly, most of them just want a free maid to take care of them, cook, and clean, but when it comes to money, they insist on splitting the bill.
Hiring a full-time maid costs at least a thousand dollars a month, but finding an old lady to take care of them without registering, just providing food and shelter, doesn't cost much.
Alice was also known as a notorious shrew in the neighborhood, so even if the old men were interested, their children wouldn't agree.
Alice looked Theodore up and down, seeing that although he was dressed well, he didn't have any valuable rings or necklaces.
He was just wearing a watch that looked okay, but she didn't know the brand.
She figured he was a poor guy; otherwise, he wouldn't be out here trying to scam people.
"How dare you try to scam my daughter? Do you believe I will..."
Alice took a step forward, intending to pretend to trip over Theodore and then lie on the ground.
'Isn't it just a scam?'
She couldn't lose.
But before she could fall, Theodore had already lain down first.
This scene left Alice and her group dumbfounded.
Although Theodore was the first-generation head of the Lee Group, he was always adaptable.
He was so noble and proud when catching kids peeing in the elevator, but now he could fall down with lightning speed.
His strategy of blocking others' paths instantly cut off Alice's route.
Luna gave Theodore a thumbs-up in her heart.
Whose grandpa is this? So awesome!
Alice was a shameless shrew, but when faced with the more assertive and quick-reacting Theodore, she was nothing.
"They tripped me, and one of them stepped on my foot. I want to report this."
Theodore lay on the ground, not forgetting to call out to Luna.
Luna noticed that while other elderly people lying down in this position would look dangerous and frail, Theodore exuded an aura of nobility and pride.
Luna looked at Ella and Alice with a serious expression.
"If you want to report this, we have to follow the procedure. Come on, let's register. Then you can take the old man to the hospital for a check-up. If we can't finish today, we'll continue tomorrow."
As Luna finished speaking, Ella instinctively took a step back.
She still had to go home and cook for Ethan!
She couldn't let her good son go hungry.
"Mom, let's go today... This old man is not easy to deal with."
Ella tugged at Alice's arm, but Alice felt that she was always the one lying down and accusing others, and she wouldn't get up unless three or more people pulled her up. How could it be someone else's turn to accuse her?
Alice refused to leave and was ready to lie down as well.
Isn't it just lying down?
Let's see who can lie down longer today.
Just as Alice was about to lie down, Theodore pointed to the ground and shouted, "Mouse!"
"Ah! Where?"
Alice screamed and ran out of the reporting room in a flash.
When she looked back and saw Theodore's mocking smile, she realized she had been tricked. She was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and started cursing at Theodore.
"You old bastard! Are you eyeing that little bitch Luna? You already have one foot in the grave, and you're still thinking about a young girl in her twenties! Do you even have the ability?"
Alice was so furious that she cursed with the most unpleasant words.
Luna frowned and was about to step forward, but Theodore raised his hand to signal her not to move.
He got up from the ground, sat cross-legged, and pointed at Alice, angrily shouting, "I passed the bar exam when I was young! What you just said in public constitutes defamation! There are surveillance cameras everywhere, and there are witnesses, too!
You're so old and still want to go to jail. I wonder if your children will bring you prison meals!"
