Chapter 431: A Rose 436

At Gardengate.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Olson, but Mr. Quinn hasn’t returned yet. I can’t let you in.”

Greg Muller, the butler, had a respectful yet firm attitude, leaving no room for negotiation.

Gardengate was Wilson’s private residence. Apart from Yvette, no one else had ever entered.

Without Wilson’s permission, Greg wasn’t allowed to let outsiders in.

“What do you mean by that?”

Standing behind Victoria, Lionel’s face darkened, and his tone grew hostile. “Are you really going to make Ms. Olson keep standing outside the door?”

“I’m sorry, but that’s the only option for now,” Greg replied, still polite but resolute.

Lionel became even more displeased. How dare this lowly butler treat Victoria with such disrespect!

“How dare you make Ms. Olson wait outside! Who gave you the audacity-”

Before he could finish, Victoria gently tugged on his sleeve. “It’s alright, Lionel. I’ll wait here for Wilson to return.”

“But Ms. Olson, this is too much!” Lionel looked at her with clear concern. “Your health is already frail. How can you stand out here and wait?”

“It’s really fine. I’m not as weak as you think,” Victoria smiled softly at him. “Don’t make things difficult for the butler.”

Greg couldn’t help but gain a bit more respect for Victoria. “Ms. Olson, it’s not that I’m intentionally being difficult, but Mr. Quinn has set this rule.”

“I understand.” Victoria nodded politely. “I’m not upset.”

Greg’s opinion of her improved even more, but his dislike for Lionel only deepened.

“Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Olson.”

Just then, a black Maybach pulled up in front of the villa. Victoria recognized it as Wilson’s car, and her eyes lit up. She immediately walked over quickly.

“Wilson, you’re back!”

Seeing Victoria there, Wilson frowned slightly but spoke coldly as usual, “Yes, what do you need?”

Victoria was long used to his indifferent attitude, so she replied gently, “Wilson, have something to ask you.”

“Alright, go ahead.” He remained aloof, making it clear he had no intention of inviting Victoria inside to sit.

Unable to hold back, Lionel spoke up, “Mr. Quinn, Ms. Olson has been waiting at the door for a long time, but the butler refused to let her in. Her health is already fragile-”

“If her health is fragile, she shouldn’t stay here any longer.”

Wilson’s impossibly handsome face remained emotionless, and his voice was still detached.

However, it sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

“Finish what you have to say and go rest.”

Chapt 436 “Mr. Quinn…” Lionel was stunned by this response, not expecting such a cold reply from Wilson. He froze on the spot.

Victoria bit her lip lightly. Everyone said Wilson treated her differently, but she couldn’t even step into his private residence.

“Hmm? It seems you have an issue with my decision.”

Wilson cast a cold glance at Lionel, who felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. The sheer pressure from Wilson’s presence made his legs shake uncontrollably.

“I wouldn’t dare.”

Lionel’s face turned pale as he bowed his head, his posture completely submissive.

“Wilson!” Victoria spoke up at just the right moment. “I came to ask if you could help the Robertsons. Their financial chain has broken, and if they don’t get any investment, they’ll go bankrupt. So, I wanted to ask if you could invest in them.”
