Chapter 843 Steven Wants to Compete with Betty for Richard
"I think I received a notification." Betty shook her phone and smiled at Richard while hugging him. "Don't be mad, look at my bread, I made honey buns today."
Richard smiled. "I'm not mad."
Just a little disappointed.
Betty pulled Richard into the kitchen. "Look, my honey buns are about to come out of the oven in 35 minutes."
Betty was looking at her phone, studying it carefully, following a recipe.
"Honey buns?" Richard was very curious, wondering what kind of honey bombs would come out.
"Ding," the oven timer went off.
Betty opened the oven, and a wave of heat hit her face, accompanied by the very tempting aroma of the buns.
Richard was a bit surprised, it smelled so good, he was getting a bit hungry.
Betty was also very excited, hoping it would be successful this time.
"Let's have a try!" Betty, wearing gloves, took out the buns and handed the best-looking one to Richard.
Richard took a bite with great anticipation. It was soft, not very delicious, but it was definitely the taste of bread.
Outside the door, Silas and the others were looking in with a grudge. "Richard, does the bread hurt your teeth?"
"It's delicious." Richard boasted, waving the bread in his hand.
"Of course, it's delicious, we've tried the unpalatable so many times." Silas muttered quietly. They had been eating hard bread like stones for three days in a row, and if it wasn't successful this time, they would have to throw up in the trash can.
"Share some with them to try." Betty said generously.
Seeing Silas and the others' pale faces, Richard quickly stopped Betty. "No... you made it for me."
Betty was quite happy, she took a bun herself, the crust was a bit hard, the inside not very soft, not very tasty, but edible. "It's okay."
"You're amazing, honey." Richard praised with a smile.
Betty loved Richard's compliments, even though they were awkwardly given.
Just as she was about to act cute with Richard, her phone rang.
Betty glanced at it, it was Steven.
"Why is he calling me? Is he crazy? The contract has expired, hasn't it?" Betty muttered angrily.
"Yes, the contract has expired, I've already blocked him." Richard replied coldly.
He wanted to avoid Steven at all costs.
Anyway, the bet period was over, Steven survived, and he could no longer compete with Richard for Betty.
But just as the contract ended, Steven called his wife, which made Richard very unhappy. "Is he trying to break the contract? Compete with me for you again?"
Richard looked at Betty warily.
Betty picked up the phone. "I'll ask."
"Hello?"
"Where's Richard? I want to renew the contract with their company, tell him to come back." Steven was straightforward, asking Richard to come back right away.
Betty glanced at Richard, squinting her eyes, feeling a bit dangerous. Was Steven trying to compete with her for Richard? "Richard's contract has expired, he doesn't need to go back, remember what you said before, don't bother us again."
"We can sign the contract as usual, he can name his price." Steven offered a very tempting condition.
Betty gritted her teeth. "Steven, he's mine."
On the other end, Steven was silent for three seconds. "Betty, throw out those thoughts in your head."
"Kavi is temporarily controlled, Brade also agreed to cooperate with me to first clean up the Hughes family, but Kavi's power and the things he controls are not easy to cut off, Muskow has other forces protecting him, I need someone trustworthy by my side." Steven explained.
He just thought Richard was trustworthy. After all, they had a life-and-death friendship.
"Sorry, my husband is not available, find someone else." Betty hung up on Steven directly.
Over there, Richard was still looking at Betty warily. "Does he still want to compete with me for you?"
"Now, he wants to compete with me for you." Betty glanced at Richard.
Richard was a bit confused. "Huh?"
"I told you, Steven likes both men and women, he's interested in you." Betty scared Richard.
Richard raised his hand to cover his forehead. "Let's eat, the buns are getting cold."
This was beyond his understanding.
He also knew Betty was deliberately lying to him.
"Don't worry about Steven, he wants you to continue being his bodyguard." Betty laughed and jumped onto Richard.
Richard picked her up with one hand and took out some jam from the fridge. "Yes, his assistant called me, but I don't have time right now."
"Even if you have time, don't go, he lives such a dangerous life every day, we shouldn't get involved." Betty muttered quietly.
"As long as Kavi is not dealt with, you and Indigo will be in danger." Richard was willing to help Steven for the sake of Betty and Indigo.
Only if Steven quickly dealt with Kavi, would this matter truly be over.
Betty also understood Richard's concerns, she hugged him tighter. "Don't worry.."
The Sanders Mansion.
Arnold was hosting a banquet for people in the business circle, most people in the Silverlight City business circle received invitations.
"I heard Arnold is going to introduce his son."
"It seems his son wasn't raised by his side."
"Arnold's son, the only heir of the Sanders family, will inherit everything from the Sanders family in the future, Arnold has built a very favorable position for his son."
At the banquet, many people were discussing, wanting to know who was so lucky to be Arnold's son.
Betty's parents also came, bringing her cousin Abigai.
Abigai was very good at flattering people. Since Betty left the company, Abigai had been acting recklessly in the Willer Group, after all, she was the chairman's niece.
This time, she begged Betty's parents to bring her to the Sanders family's banquet.
She was divorced and now wanted to hook up with a rich man.
"Oh, you left the company, and the Sanders family still invited you?" Seeing Betty and Richard also arrived, Abigai sneered. "What identity are you invited as now? Didn't you cut ties with the Willer family? You said you would never take advantage of the Willer family for the sake of that poor man beside you."
"What's it to you, are you a Willer family member?" Betty retorted in a low voice.
"I just can't stand your high and mighty attitude." Abigai sneered.
"Do I need you to stand it? I was invited as my husband's wife." Betty hugged Richard's arm tightly.
"Your husband? Steven? Invited as a Hughes family member, and you brought this man? He's dirt poor, with no family background, what a joke." Abigai looked at Richard with disdain.
Back then, Richard had helped Abigai a lot, she was good at ordering Richard around, but because he had no family background, she always looked down on him.
"Who's the joke, it's not certain yet." Richard said in a deep voice, looking at Priya and Tara. "Dad, Mom, I never thought I couldn't give Betty a happy life with my ability, if I couldn't, I wouldn't have married her in the first place, since I married her, I will do my best to make her happy."
