Chapter 230 I've Been Thinking About You Day and Night!
Elena stretched and yawned.
She coquettishly said to the man beside her in a sweet voice, "This bumpy dirt road is making my waist sore. Give me a massage!"
The man approached her and lightly massaged Elena’s exposed waist.
Elena bit her lips in bright daylight. Her gaze was full of allure as she made a satisfied sound.
Recently, Elena's life had been smooth sailing.
First, she had gotten herself a new boyfriend, Enrique Coleman.
As his name suggested, he was handsome and talented in every aspect. He always kept her well-fed.
At least he was much better than that worthless Henry.
Secondly, the Houston construction material market was developing in favor of the Windsor family.
After all, their two biggest competitors in the Houston construction material market were in trouble. The president of SR Group, Sarah, had recently been involved in a scandal involving "intimate photos".
Although she managed to reverse the situation and clear her name, her image was still tainted, which would have an impact on SR Group for some time.
As for their remaining competitor, the Johnson family, they had been beaten down and couldn't get back up after the housewarming banquet incident.
In short, the current situation had left Lucas very satisfied.
For this reason, he had gotten Enrique Coleman a position as General Manager of the Marketing Department in the Windsor Group, saying that if he could defeat SR Group and the Johnson family, he would groom him as the future successor of the Windsor family.
Enrique Coleman used to work in an upscale club where he was a gigolo, selling his body to wealthy women for profit. He worked long hours and was seemingly glamorous and attractive, but in reality, he often came away with nothing. It was hard-earned money, but it came at the expense of his youth.
Now, Enrique was excited when he heard about a great opportunity and made a vow to complete the task. As the new general manager, he planned to accompany Elena to inspect all of the Windsor family's construction-related industries in Houston.
They had arrived at the location today. As they were about to enter, a figure appeared and blocked their path. It was Lily. Elena looked her up and down, noting that she was more attractive and better built than herself, and a pang of jealousy flashed through her mind.
She furrowed her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?"
Lily Turner pointed to her dirty pants, saying, "Didn't you see that your car splashed dirty water onto our legs?"
Elena glanced at Lily's jeans. Instead of apologizing, she sneered and looked down on them, saying, "Ha! Those cheap jeans probably don't even cost $300. If they're dirty, what's the big deal? Move aside and don't hinder our business!"
With that, Elena pushed Lily aside and tried to continue walking forward. However, Lily firmly held onto her and calmly said, "We haven’t dealt with this yet, Miss."
Elena looked impatient and said, "Enough with this endless annoyance. It's just a pair of pants. I'll compensate you." She took out three banknotes from her wallet and threw them at Lily. "Here, you poor woman! That’s $300! Go buy yourself a new pair of pants! How dare you wear such cheap clothes!"
Elena rolled her eyes and sarcastically mocked Lily.
Her words and actions made Lily's face turn red with anger. She had come here to reason with Elena and clarify the truth, but she hadn't expected this attitude and behavior from her.
What kind of person was Elena? Maybe she thought Lily was easy to bully, or perhaps she felt threatened by Lily's beauty, which made her want to take advantage of the situation.
So Elena continued to sneer, "Why are you looking at me like that? Not convinced? Even if you're not convinced, you have to bear it! Don't think you're owed the whole world just because you have some looks! Get lost, don't stand here and bother me, or else my brother Mao Mao will kick you out!"
As Elena said that, a familiar voice said, "If you can do that, go ahead and try!"
Elena turned her head, and her arrogant face instantly changed. "It's you!"
Ryder walked over slowly, a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. "It's been a while, Miss Hong, but you're still very arrogant! I'm wondering if you didn't have enough of the cigarette butt on the ground back then, or if the slap from me wasn't enough."
A hint of panic flashed in Elena's eyes as her old wounds were uncovered, and she quickly said, "Clark, you should shut your mouth if you can't speak nicely! I don't want to see you! You’re disgusting! You’re nauseating!"
Ryder narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Whether you want to see me or not doesn't matter, because I've been thinking about you day and night recently. I want to see you all the time!"
Elena suddenly froze, her expression puzzled.
What does that mean?
Enrique Coleman immediately became alert.
He had just defeated Henry. Was there now a new opponent?
Even Lily furrowed her brows, wondering if Ryder had something going on with this unreasonable woman.
At this moment, Ryder added an explanation. "Someone made a bet with me before, saying that if SR Group made a comeback, she would go to the train station, be a beggar for three days, and share it live. That happened a while ago, and I've been waiting every day and night just to run into that someone!"
Hehe! Today, fortune came without effort! So can you start your show?"
"Huh?"
Elena stood in place, at a loss.
She had always remembered that bet, and knew that Ryder wouldn't forget about it either.
That was why she had spent the past few days hiding at home with Enrique Coleman, deliberately avoiding Ryder.
But she couldn’t hide forever!
She didn’t expect this to happen...
However, Elena was quite resourceful. After being stunned for a few seconds, she immediately responded, "Clark! Let's not fool around in broad daylight. When did I make that bet with you? Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, I might sue you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ryder had taken out his phone and played a recording...
It was a recording of the conversation in the hot pot restaurant!
Elena nearly choked when she heard that. However, despite this, Elena firmly refused to agree to fulfill the bet. She tilted her neck and took on a fearless attitude, saying, "So what if there is a recording? I just said it casually at the time, and there was no written agreement. It has no legal effect! What? Are you going to force me to fulfill the bet?" She spat on the ground and scornfully said, "Mr. Clark! If you really can make me fulfill my promise, it won't be a problem for me to call you 'daddy' every time I see you! Haha, but unfortunately, it's all just a dream!"
