Chapter 790 They say Richard lives off women
Cordelia was to leave a way out for Nolan.
The chairman nodded with a smile. He liked hearing such polite words.
However, he hoped even more that Elaine and Nolan could be together.
Nowadays, among the young talents in Silverlight City, apart from the most dazzling Ethan who was already married and definitely wouldn't divorce, the second choice was Nolan.
Nolan, single and capable, with no scandal history, was definitely a hot commodity in this circle.
Cordelia and the chairman went over there to socialize, leaving Elaine and Nolan to interact.
Elaine was a bit shy. She liked Nolan's appearance, which indeed matched her aesthetic. "Do you like opera?"
Nolan glanced at Elaine. He didn't like her.
But he still nodded. "I listen to it occasionally."
Elaine's eyes lit up, and she smiled. "In a few days, my favorite musical troupe will be performing at the Crescent Music Hall in Sunrise City. If you have time, let's go watch it together."
Nolan looked at his assistant Leo.
"Miss Long, let us know the date in advance, and I will arrange Mr. Cunningham's schedule." Leo immediately replied.
Elaine was very happy and nodded. "Okay, I'll let you know in advance."
Nolan nodded, but for some reason, he felt very uncomfortable.
He always thought of Amelia.
Amelia was immature and demanding.
He thought he would like a gentle and quiet woman like Elaine.
But it turned out, he didn't, right?
"The sea in Sunrise City is beautiful. I know a secluded spot with few tourists. We can go see the sea," Elaine said happily.
She smiled gently, completely unlike Amelia.
But Nolan still thought of Amelia.
He thought of the photos his assistant sent, of Amelia smiling in a sea of flowers.
"Nolan? Can I call you that?" Elaine asked softly. Seeing Nolan lost in thought, she spoke again. "Nolan?"
Nolan snapped back to reality and nodded.
He remembered that Amelia seemed to be in Sunrise City too.
On the other side, for Richard's sake, Betty still came to the chamber of commerce banquet.
Although she no longer managed the Willer Group and had completely left the Willer family, Richard still had a company.
Although LY was a new enterprise with no reputation yet, Betty believed that Richard, Jasmine, and Samuel would manage the company well.
"Oh my, Betty, you've already left the Willer Group and don't even have a job now. Why are you still attending the chamber of commerce banquet?" At the entrance, Abigai got excited when she saw Betty.
She had been very angry these past two days. Her useless husband actually wanted to divorce her and even sue her for emotional distress compensation?
Snorting, she glared at Betty. She didn't think it was her fault that their family was in such a mess, she just thought Betty wanted to push her.
But she seemed to forget that she was the one who cheated.
Betty rolled her eyes at Abigai. "You're the one shouting the loudest."
Abigai clenched her fists in anger. "Betty, why are you being so arrogant? Let me tell you, don't even think about returning to the Willer family this time. Your parents said that if you don't divorce Richard, they won't acknowledge you as their daughter."
Betty raised her hand and pushed Abigai away, looking at her coldly. "Do you need a beating to stop being so reckless?"
"Betty!" Abigai gritted her teeth. "What are you pretending for? Richard is just a poor man, nothing at all. He just wants to cling to rich people. Isn't that why he went to be Steven's bodyguard? Letting your husband be your ex-husband's bodyguard, you are really something"
"Only a fool wouldn't make money." Betty raised her hand and slapped Abigai. "You went to Nolan to complain, saying Ryan and Fiona had an intimate relationship, didn't you?"
If Edgar hadn't come to ask her, she wouldn't have known that Abigai dared to go to the Cunningham family to complain about Ryan.
"Betty, how dare you hit me." Abigai covered her face, glaring at Betty angrily, feeling embarrassed and looking around.
"Afraid of being embarrassed? I can make you even more embarrassed." Betty laughed. "I'm not afraid of being shameless."
After saying that, Betty looked at the people around watching the commotion. "You guys don't know, do you? Her name is Abigai, my cousin. She gave birth to three children for her husband, and not one of them is her husband's."
After saying that, Betty covered her mouth and laughed lightly.
Women were naturally gossipers. As soon as they heard this gossip, they all started discussing it, and no one mentioned Betty leaving the Willer Group anymore.
Abigai's face turned pale with anger. Unable to bear the humiliation, she turned and ran away.
As she left, she didn't forget to make a threat. "Betty, just you wait."
Betty glared. "I can't deal with the Hughes family, but I can deal with you."
After Abigai left, Betty saw Richard standing not far away, looking handsome and dazzling.
He stood next to Steven, winking at Betty and giving her a thumbs-up.
Betty laughed out loud, thinking her husband was really handsome.
Steven's looks, physique, and aura were not inferior to Richard's, but with Richard standing there, clearly a bodyguard, Betty couldn't see anyone else, only him.
Richard was already used to Betty's daily infatuation.
So when Betty deliberately walked over to tease him, he could only helplessly and indulgently endure it.
"Handsome guy, it's a pity to be a bodyguard. I have money, I'll keep you," Betty said as she walked over to Richard, deliberately teasing him, her hands not behaving.
Richard was helpless. "I'm working."
She snorted, feeling a bit bored. "Steven's busy socializing, we can do our own thing."
As soon as Betty finished speaking, Steven, who was socializing, turned back with a gloomy face. "Are you two treating me like I'm dead?"
Betty snorted, deliberately hugging Richard. "Aren't you dead?"
Steven gritted his teeth and glared at Richard. "You are not working properly during work hours, fined one thousand dollars."
Richard could only helplessly raise his hand and push Betty's head away. "Go play somewhere else."
A thousand dollars gone.
Betty ground her teeth, bored, and turned to find Avery.
After walking a few steps, she heard a few socialites gossiping about Richard.
They said Richard was just living off women, thinking he could get Steven's inheritance by marrying Betty, but Steven came back, and Richard's efforts were in vain.
They also said Steven deliberately kept Richard as a bodyguard to humiliate him.
Betty frowned and walked over to sit down. "What are you talking about?"
At first, the socialite didn't recognize Betty and continued gossiping. "That bodyguard next to Steven, overestimating himself, a poor man with nothing, actually managed to hook up with Betty, marrying into a wealthy family, and even trying to get the Hughes family's inheritance. It's ridiculous, now Steven is back."
Betty nodded. "Who said he has nothing and is a poor man?"
The socialite was stunned, looking at Betty. Everyone realized who she was and fell silent, too scared to speak.
Betty smiled. "Go on."
"Mr. Sanders is here. He announced some news today! He said he always had a son who wasn't publicly known because his son had been living independently. He plans to introduce his son in a few days!" One of the socialites, who was relatively smart, quickly changed the subject.
