Chapter 139 Elbert, congratulations to you
The middle-aged woman suddenly became uneasy. "You're not joking, are you?"
"Of course not," Elbert responded with a confident smile. "Two villas can't even begin to measure Walter's worth."
He added, "My company will soon be the top internet company in all of Veridiania, if not the world. And Walter, as one of the best employees, will be renowned globally. His value can't be measured by money!"
The middle-aged woman eyed Elbert skeptically. "You say Walter is your key member?"
Uneducated in business, she only listened to street gossip. She'd heard about a company that defeated the giant Meta Platforms, earning billions in a month. It was hailed as the most promising company in Veridiania in the past 20 years. The name of this company was Creator.
"Thank you for your appreciation," Briana said, standing up and holding Walter's arm. "I also believe Walter will achieve great things."
"Mom, I've been secretly dating Walter for three years. I've watched him go from earning $600 a month to where he is today. It's all due to his perseverance, hard work, and countless sleepless nights."
She continued, "I value Walter's character. As for achievements, money, and status, I believe luck follows hard-working people. Even if he didn't have a house, I'd still want to spend my life with him."
Briana looked at her mother with determination. "Mother, I just hope you can let go of those worldly views and sincerely bless us!"
Walter, who wasn't good with words, was deeply moved. Having a soulmate like Briana was enough for him.
The middle-aged woman sighed, suddenly realizing the stubborn-looking girl before her was no longer a little girl who only knew how to act spoiled. She had grown up with her own thoughts, judgments, and love.
"I ask for good financial conditions because I want you to live well in the future," the woman said with tears in her eyes. "But as long as you are happy..."
Turning to Walter with a stern expression, she said, "My daughter is a medical doctor who studied abroad! You! Since you are her boyfriend, you must treat her well! And you have such a good boss. You can't slack off at work!"
Picking up her bag, she added. "Come over for dinner this weekend!"
Walter, the poor boy from the countryside, stared wide-eyed at everything—his beloved girl, the sharp-tongued but soft-hearted future mother-in-law, and the extremely domineering yet incredibly considerate boss, Elbert.
"Thank you, everyone," Walter choked out.
"No need to thank us," Elbert said mischievously. "Walter, I wasn't joking about rewarding you with two houses. Don't you want to know why it's two?"
Walter looked at Elbert, feeling like he was looking at the most lovable person in the world, second only to his girlfriend, Briana.
Walter smiled knowingly, turned to Briana, and said, "I need to take another three days off. I took the boss's villas, so I guess I won't be able to go home for the next few days."
Briana looked at Walter gently. "That's fine. But take care of yourself."
As the couple shared a loving moment, Elbert smiled warmly and quietly stepped aside, hearing Robert shouting in his mind.
"Elbert, come back!"
"What's up, Robert?" Elbert asked.
"Congratulations, you're about to be assassinated again!" Robert teased. "This time, it's not a simple gang; it's an international assassin! A cyborg!"
In fact, when Cassius decided to take the desperate step of assassinating Elbert, he discovered it. He traced it back to find the international assassin Dark Web and the assassin Spade 9, contacted through an intermediary named Tiger.
"I really have a lot of enemies," Elbert sighed.
A video appeared with information about a blonde, blue-eyed man, around 30 years old, named Xavier Scott.
"According to the intermediary, he belongs to an assassin organization called Card Club, codenamed Spade 9," Robert said. "But this organization has left no information on the internet. They seem to be very wary of it and never use it."
Robert continued. "By investigating his income sources and the tools hidden in his suitcase, it's clear he is an assassin. He will come for your life in three days."
Elbert's eyes flickered. "We need to make some preparations. We must give this international guest a proper welcome. At the same time, he is also a clue to unraveling Jessica's mystery!"
"How strong is Spade 9?" Elbert asked.
"Well, not really," Robert replied.
