Chapter 130 Full of Crisis
"Mother, he doesn't want me anymore. He publicly rejected me and sent me back home. In the past, he could tolerate me for the sake of the company, but now because of that bitch Winnie... I want to show him the half ring and let him know that I'm the one who saved him years ago. He won't be able to leave me anymore!"
Mrs. Ordelia looked at the half ring in her hand and shook her head. "It's good you have a brain. But now is not the right time."
"But Winnie stole him away. In a little while, he might fall in love with that bitch. I can't accept it!"
"If you pretend to be his savior with the half ring now, he will only be disappointed in you and appreciate you with money at most. You still won't be able to win him back. Just wait, Lawrence R will be yours. Don't you know, Winnie has an uncle?"
Mrs. Ordelia laughed and looked shrewdly. "Triton and Imperial have a feud."
"This uncle of hers will show up sooner or later. When the conflict between them erupts, Winnie and him won't last long, and then you can win him back."
"Just be patient and wait for the right moment to present this token. Then he will fully belong to you." Mrs. ordelia said with a wide smile.
Darcy vaguely understood that the right moment was when Winnie and L fell out.
So, does her mother firmly believe that Winnie and L will have a falling out? Darcy walked over and hugged Mrs. Ordelia, asking with suspicion, "Mother, ...
"How do you know that Winnie has an uncle? Do you know a lot about Winnie's family and their feud?" Mrs. Ordelia paused, not answering, and instead lightly tapped her daughter's nose.
"You're clever. Strive to be transferred to the branch office so you can stay connected with him. You still have connections in the headquarters, and going back to Lymington is just a matter of time, and then you must seize the opportunity."
Darcy nodded. Her mother had mentioned it when she accompanied her to L's side. L's true identity was far beyond Lymington, and the Rodriguez family's social status. Their family wanted to cling to L, even though he himself didn't know his background.
-
The Rodriguez family in Lymington.
In the study, the old Mr. Rodriguez erupted, "You openly dumped Darcy because of that Winnie? The Rodriguez family's cooperation with the Ordelia family is hanging by a thread now. You need to explain yourself to Mr. Ordelia!"
"Lawrence, what you've done is despicable. Where does this leave Darcy's reputation? She has waited for you all these years!" Mr. Ordelia confronted him.
L stood there, his poised and indifferent figure unchanged. The swirling darkness in the young man's eyes was enough to unsettle these two men slightly.
In a cold tone, he said, "Darcy and I privately broke off our engagement a few years ago. I have already explained this to Mrs. Ordelia, but you refuse to acknowledge it due to your family's influence. Any compensations that should be made, I will take care of with money."
"Lawrence, by losing the support of the Ordelia family, you need to be careful from now on." Mr. Ordelia sneered meaningfully and left.
The old Mr. Rodriguez sat in his chair, furrowing his brows in silence for a while.
Finally, he looked up, his calculating gaze exerting pressure. "Either make Winnie go away and bring Darcy back. If the Ordelia family's connection is still intact, I will let you firmly sit as the successor of the Imperial Financial Group. Otherwise..."
"Without the Ordelia family's connection, I won't consider you as the successor. Your younger brother will take over the conglomerate."
Perhaps this was the ultimate message he wanted to convey.
L had no expectations for this father.
The icy coldness in his eyes made him smile. "When Imperial was placed in my hands, it was a bankrupt company. Alan wants to snatch the current global top 100 conglomerate, relying on his own abilities. I want both the company and the women!"
"Are you openly declaring war with the Rodriguez family for the sake of a woman?" the old Mr. Rodriguez slammed the table.
"Yes." L responded with a calm smile. He said in a low, hoarse voice that sounded like it came from hell.
The old Mr. Rodriguez cast a sinister gaze.
Outside the study, Mrs. Rodriguez and Mabel Rodriguez overheard this. Their eyes wandered as they immediately went into the room and made a phone call.
After a while, someone finally picked up on the other end. With a hint of charm in his handsome voice, a young man asked, "Mom, what's up?"
"Alan, the Rodriguez family is about to change. Your brother gave up the Ordelia family for a woman. It's time for you to end your studies and come home, son."
Mrs. Rodriguez clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming.
After years of waiting, the opportunity was finally approaching.
"Well," the voice on the other end chuckled softly with a nonchalant tone, "Lawrence's woman is named Winnie, right? Recently, I also met an interesting person, not surnamed Anderson, but Granger."
Mrs. Rodriguez didn't understand the connection between her son's two sentences.
Her son was coming back soon, bringing stability to her heart. Lawrence R had been in control of the Imperial Financial Group for these years, growing stronger and stronger. Imperial Jewelry and the Kingdom Estates were the leading industries, and other sectors were almost all under their influence.
Lawrence R had solidified the Rodriguez family's position as the first family of Lymington.
But he was merely the son of madam Rodriguez, a frail woman who was not favored by his father!
Alan was the heir, and the Imperial Financial Group must belong to her son.
Winnie waited in the villa until late night the next day when the man finally returned.
Cold winter, his body tired, into the door to take off handmade shoes, long fingers to take off the tie, there are some red bloodshot eyes in the eyes.
Winnie stood up and stared at his majestic figure.
Suddenly, she ran towards him and put her hand around his cold waist. Winnie asked worriedly, "how's it going?"
Does your family put a lot of pressure on you? "
The man was silent and pinched her chin. His eyes faced each other, and his eyes were cold and deep.
Suddenly, she pinched her pink lips and kissed her.
Winnie was forced to look up, he kissed hard, with a man's blood in his enthusiasm, and the smell of good-smelling tobacco threw her against the wall.
The clothes hanger of the locker fell to the ground, and there was some noise.
For a long time, wheezing and undulating with each other, his eyes red with blood, holding her hand, he loosened his thin lips slightly.
Still pressed the petite her on the edge of the cupboard, soft all over, so that he was addicted.
Lawrence R locked her deeply, pinched her pink cheek and looked back and forth as if to look into her soul. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I hope you're worth it."
Winnie's heart was slammed by this weak remark, banging.
The blood began to warm as if it had been lifted.
"I like you, L." She broke into his arms and said bravely and shyly.
"Because I let Darcy leave?" The man raised his eyebrows coldly.
"No, but because of this, I was even more moved. You finally put me in a more important place in your heart. " That's what Winnie always cares about.
The man suddenly picked her up, his eyes dark and went to the bathroom.
Winnie buried on his broad shoulder, murmured, "you have been gone for a day, I know things are not simple, but also realize that Darcy's position in your family is very important, I am inferior to her family background, from your friend's words, I know that my identity has dragged you down. But I also want to be a woman who can help you. "
L said, "Are you mocking that I need to rely on women for my career?"
"No!" Winnie trembled, and she hastened to explain, "I'm in the Anderson family, and I know all too well how hard the family struggle is." She loves him.
L get it. "You want to do something for me?"
