Chapter 124 Aaron's Fear
Ryder turned around and saw Aaron.
A pretty girl stood beside him. However, her expression was somewhat peculiar, creating distance between her and Aaron.
"What did you just say?" Ryder's dark eyes landed on Aaron.
Aaron casually adjusted his clothes and replied, "I said you are a servant in our house. Is there any doubt?"
Yesterday, he sent a few red-haired men to teach Ryder a lesson, hoping to make him suffer and perhaps even film a video of him getting beaten to embarrass him online.
Unexpectedly, those men disappeared for the whole day and only got in touch last night. They said they not only failed to find Ryder, but also got beaten up by Maple Real Estate security guards. This led Aaron to suspect that it was all done by Ryder behind the scenes. Aaron couldn't stand it, his friend being bullied by Ryder was unacceptable.
So, when he was sent by Sarah to join Boss Security, he informed the red-haired men to come along. The purpose was simple: get familiar with the people at Boss Security, build relationships, and then teach Ryder a lesson together!
It was unimaginable that they could run into Ryder here! This was a great opportunity for revenge! After all, the red-haired men were lurking nearby. With just one phone call, they could be here in half a minute.
Faced with Aaron's provocation, Ryder narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I remember telling you very clearly the day before yesterday not to use that title for me. I don't like it."
Aaron had a wild expression on his face and said, "You can act arrogant at home, but are you going to act arrogant out here too? Don't think my sister speaking up for you makes you important! Remember, It's the Johnsons who are a family when it matters, while you are just an outsider who came to beg for food as a servant! Got it??"
While saying that, Aaron harshly poked Ryder's chest twice with his finger. The arrogance in his attitude was evident.
Ryder glared at him with a cold gaze and was about to retaliate.
Suddenly, Aaron stumbled forward and almost fell to the ground. "Damn it! Someone pushed me!" Aaron turned his head angrily. But when he saw the person standing behind him, his face changed slightly, and a flicker of fear flashed in his eyes.
How could it be her? The person who had come to represent the Johnson family was Abigail! Abigail was dressed quite provocatively today.
She glanced at them and snickered, saying, "I didn't expect to come across two useless people today. How amusing!"
Aaron felt displeased and retorted, "Who are you calling useless?"
Abigail had an expression that said, "What can you do to me?" and replied, "I'm calling you useless, so what? Come on, hit me then! Do you dare?!"
Aaron's voice faltered, and then he muttered inexplicably, feeling a bit guilty, "I won't argue with you... Zoey, let's go inside!"
With that, he and Zoey strode quickly towards Boss Security's entrance.
He didn't even care about teaching Ryder a lesson anymore!
As for why Aaron, who feared nothing and no one, would be so afraid of Abigail, there was a history behind it.
Despite Grandpa Johnson's favoritism towards boys, he disliked Aaron no less than Sarah.
As for the reason, no one except Grandpa Johnson knew!
So, whenever Aaron went to Grandpa Johnson's house when he was younger, he never received any care and was constantly bullied by Andy and Abigail!
For example, they would scare him with dogs, tie him to a railing and throw stones at him, strip off his pants and throw them onto the roof, and so on.
The most outrageous incident was when Andy broke Grandpa Johnson's cherished vase, but Abigail wrongly accused Aaron of breaking it!
That time, Aaron suffered a severe beating from Grandpa Johnson's cane!
He couldn't get out of bed for three days!
Karen was too scared to say anything but almost divorced Ernest!
In short, Aaron suffered countless misfortunes at the hands of Andy and Abigail, only with Sarah to help him.
Otherwise, who knows how much more he would have been bullied.
But even so, Andy and Abigail's actions left a psychological shadow on Aaron.
Seeing the two of them was like seeing a cat to a mouse!
Watching Aaron leave, Abigail spat on the ground and muttered, "Hmph! After all these years, he's still the same, worthless. It's only his parents who treat him like a treasure! It's ridiculous that he has been made the general manager!"
After venting her frustration, she turned her gaze to Ryder.
She squeezed her nose with her hand in disgust and said, "You, dressing like a poor person, have the audacity to come here. George didn't even invite you, yet you have the nerve to show up!"
Ryder's lips curved with a hint of a smile as he said, "No matter how audacious I am, I'm still much better than someone who begs for love while hugging a trash can!"
"You..." Abigail's face changed color.
Since she was young, her goal was to become a socialite in Houston, and she cared a lot about her reputation.
But because of a bet she made with Ryder, the whole city was in an uproar, and she became a laughingstock!
She was afraid of going out and seeing others talking about it!
But Ryder would bring up this topic every time in front of her!
It was simply unbearable!
So, with a flick of her mouth, gritting her teeth, she said, "You worthless thing, whether you believe me or not, today I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ryder's gaze suddenly turned cold, and a chilling voice came out of his throat:
"Believe it or not, if you say another word, I'll slap you in the face. After all, I still owe you a slap!" Abigail's body couldn't help but tremble.
If it were the old Ryder, she would have ignored him.
But the recent change in Ryder was too drastic. Last time at the Johnson family meeting, he gave her two slaps and said he still owed one, saving it for next time!
He said he would slap her!
Maybe he really would!
No!
He definitely would!
Abigail was furious, but she couldn't afford to be slapped in the face in front of so many people. She could only grit her teeth and nodded heavily at Ryder.
Her gaze conveyed: Just wait, we'll settle our accounts sooner or later!
Then, she walked away in her high heels without looking back...
More and more people gathered at the company's entrance to celebrate. Many influential figures in Houston were present.
There were all kinds of flower baskets and gifts piled up.
Afterward, there were some speeches and ribbon-cutting activities.
Ryder didn't participate in any of them. Instead, he went directly to The Pint House across the street and found a seat to sit down.
He thought he'd wait for a while, have a decent meal, and then leave!
Suddenly, Ryder felt his eyes being covered with someone's hands.
Then a deliberately suppressed voice sounded, "Guess who I am?"
