Chapter 69 Why Don't You Give It A Try?
"Elena?" Scarlett was very surprised.
Although her family was considered wealthy, compared to Miss Elena from the Windsor Group, they were far behind.
Even her uncle's Hall Group was slightly weaker than the Windsor Group.
In the circle of young, wealthy individuals in Houston, Elena could be considered one of the most prestigious girls!
In Scarlett's eyes, Elena was like a senior. She would be satisfied if she could reach that level someday!
Excited, she asked, "Cousin, how did you manage to invite Elena to deal with an ordinary, poor person?"
Allan, with a mysterious look, answered Scarlett, "You don't know yet. Earlier today, Elena sent a message in our chat group saying that she was being extorted and wanted to gather some friends to help her seek revenge. They decided to meet and discuss strategies at Polka Bar. It just happened that I saw you being bullied, so I'll have Elena help you later. It'll be fine!"
Hearing that Elena would help her, Scarlett waved her fist excitedly. She revealed a fierce expression and muttered, "Bastard, I'll make you kneel and apologize to me!"
Just then, Ryder happened to come out from the bar's entrance.
Without a moment's delay, Scarlett took two steps forward and pointed at Ryder's nose, cursing, "You finally came out! I've been waiting for you!"
Ryder turned his head and saw Scarlett scolding him. He rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "There are plenty of places to find a husband. I don't have time to accompany you in your nonsense!"
"Who's nonsense?!" Scarlett's face darkened, and she swung her fist, ready to punch him.
Ryder grabbed her wrist in response, gripping it tightly.
"You're so violent. I'm afraid even finding a husband like a stray dog would be a challenge for you!" Ryder narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
Scarlett felt a sudden sense of nervousness as Ryder stared at her with that kind of gaze.
However, knowing that she had her cousin to support her, Scarlett decided not to worry too much and put on an arrogant face. "You poor man! Let go of my hand immediately, or I will make sure you taste what it's like to be beaten!"
"I’ll just let go then!" Ryder nonchalantly released her hand.
Due to the inertia of her body, Scarlett stumbled backward and ended up sitting on the ground right on top of someone's vomit.
"What is this? Damn it!" Scarlett didn't care about the pain in her buttocks and quickly stood up, shaking off the filth clinging to her. But the more she tried, the more disheveled she became!
Seeing this, Ryder smirked and said, "In this state, I believe stray dogs will like you even more!"
This remark completely infuriated Scarlett. She turned her head and shouted at Allan, "Cousin! Aren't you going to come and teach this bastard a lesson? If you don't help me now, I'll be bullied to death..."
Upon hearing this, Allan took a couple of steps forward, furrowed his brows, and said sternly, "Ryder! So it was you who bullied my sister!"
He felt an uncontrollable anger rising inside him whenever he encountered Ryder.
He had ruined Allan's relationship with Abigail, publicly beaten him, and extorted two million dollars!
Because of these events, Allan hadn't been able to sleep well these past few days. He was only thinking about how to deal with Ryder.
Never did he expect that Ryder would come to him voluntarily tonight!
Seeing Allan step forward, George, who was standing behind Ryder, whispered, "Should I teach this bastard a lesson first?"
Ryder shook his head. "Wait a little longer. The show has just begun."
George nodded and took a couple of steps back.
It happened that he was wearing a hat tonight, and combined with the dim lighting outside, Allan and the others didn't recognize him.
Otherwise, even if Allan had a few more chances, he wouldn't be so arrogant!
Ryder looked at Allan with interest and asked, "We really have some kind of fate, don't we? How about it? Do you think the two million dollars you donated was too little? Have you come to generously contribute once again?"
Upon mentioning this, Allan's eye twitched involuntarily. "Ryder! Last time, I fell into your trap because I underestimated you. This time, I am prepared to suppress your arrogance!"
Ryder glanced at his phone for the time. "Sorry, I'm quite busy. I'll give you five minutes. Show me what you've got to suppress me. Otherwise, I'm leaving!"
Allan panicked. He wanted to teach Ryder a harsh lesson, but he had rushed out without any backup!
Now, it was just him and Scarlett. He was afraid he couldn't defeat Ryder!
But he couldn't back down now. He had to find a way to deal with this situation.
Having spoken those words, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he didn’t humiliate Ryder?
Just as Allan was in deep thought, a woman's voice suddenly resounded, "Teaching him a lesson will not take more than 5 minutes!"
Following the voice, five young and beautiful women approached. Leading the group were Elena and Henry, and the other three were also dressed in luxury brands, displaying a carefree demeanor of wealthy second-generation individuals.
Upon seeing Elena, Allan's eyes lit up, and he quickly greeted, "Elena! You've come just at the right time. This jerk bullied my sister. Since we've been friends for many years, please help us out!"
Elena's face flashed with a cold gleam as she coldly snorted, "Even if you didn't ask, I was planning on giving this guy a severe beating today! He's the bastard I mentioned in the group chat earlier, the Maple Real Estate Security Department Minister, Ryder!"
"He's the Minister of the Maple Real Estate Security Department?" Allan was slightly taken aback. He had been curious about how Ryder, known as the Johnson family's good-for-nothing son-in-law, could know Josh.
Now he understood- it was not unreasonable for Ryder to have a connection with Josh. After all, he was the Minister of the Maple Real Estate Security Department. Of course, in Allan's eyes, this identity couldn't be more despicable!
At this moment, he also realized that the person who had offended Elena happened to be Ryder. Now with a more powerful helper to deal with Ryder, Allan no longer had any worries.
Henry stared at Ryder, his eyes almost spewing flames, gritting his teeth as he said, "Waste, we meet again! It seems like you exhausted yourself collecting bribes in the morning and came here to relax!"
Thinking of the 2 million dollars that Ryder forcibly collected from him in the morning, Henry's head throbbed.
Not to mention, Ryder caused a delay in the Windsor Group's bidding process by suddenly bringing up a gambling agreement.
Because of this, Henry was scolded by Lucas when he returned! As a son-in-law, he was already cautious in the big family, afraid of doing anything wrong to upset his father-in-law!
But because of Ryder, he had to endure this unwarranted disaster. Naturally, he was angry!
Faced with Henry's provocation, Ryder responded nonchalantly, "This little bit of money isn't enough to tire me out. But, what about you, Henry, the excess husband? Losing so much during the day, are you here at night to continue mooching off rich women for hard-earned money?"
Saying this, Ryder casually pointed at Scarlett and joked, "This woman has been looking for a one-night husband all this time. How about giving it a try?"
