As Culver was deep in thought, he heard a soft voice beside his ear.
âCulver, would you like to taste this? This is the seafood that my father specially ordered from Europe. Itâs very delicious!â
Culver felt goosebumps all over his skin on his body.
He pretended not to have heard her.
Judy felt a little embarrassed and Culverâs mother, Marilyn, became unhappy.
She glared at Culver and was about to hit him on the head as she asked, âWhat are you thinking about?â
Culver frowned and replied, âMom, weâre outside now!â
Everyone said that Culver was a cold man. However, no one knew that his mother was his fatal weakness.
Culverâs mother was known as his fatal weakness and specialized in dealing with Culver. However, in recent years, after Culver took over the company, Culverâs mother no longer gave him face in public!
His mother, Marilyn immediately retracted her hand and said, âCulver, what are you thinking about? Judy is talking to you. Didnât you hear her?â
Culver lifted his eyelids impatiently as he said, âI donât like seafood!â
However, Judy did not get angry. She pointed to the beef in front of her.
âWhy donât you taste this instead? This beef is also imported!â
âI donât like meat.â
At that point, how could Judy not know that Culver hated her? Her expression turned sour as well!
The parents of the Hayes family were arrogant people. Upon seeing the scene, their expressions turned ugly.
Although the Olsen family were considered the most reputable family in Greene City, they naturally did not want to lose any of their friends like the Hayes family, who were on par with them!
The alliance of the two families was a great shortcut!
Culverâs father, Norman, tried to smoothen things over, âThis is how Culver is usually like. Heâs cold on the outside but warm on the inside. As you all know, heâs usually really busy. If it wasnât for the sake of the Hayes family, he wouldnât have turned down a lot of work to be here today.â
Only then did the expression on the Hayes family slightly improve.
Culver took the opportunity to get up, saying, âIâm going to the bathroom!â
Then, Marilyn followed him out in a hurry and gave him a hard slap on the shoulder outside.
âIf you screw it up for me today, Iâll beat you up!â
Culver was speechless at Marilynâs words, so he asked, âDoes Dad know youâre so violent?â
âEven if your father were here, I would beat him up as well!â Marilyn placed her hands on her hips and added, âI know you donât like Judy, but whatâs wrong with her? She has liked you since she was a child. Isnât that nice?â
Culverâs face was filled with disdain as he replied, âIs it really because she likes me? What if she wasnât the daughter of the Hayes family? Would you still approve of her?â
âWhat nonsense are you spouting about? If she wasnât the daughter of the Hayes family, who else could she be? Iâm warning you, youâd better put on a better look when you return later. Otherwiseâ¦â
âI donâtâ¦â Before he could finish his words, Marilyn covered her chest with her hands and her breathing became rapid.
âMy heart⦠It hurtsâ¦â
She was doing it again! Culver was rendered speechless. Who would believe that despite being such an influential figure in the outside world, he could not even defeat his own mother?
Marilyn had succeeded in controlling him for more than twenty years with the excuse that her heart was weak.
However, he could not get away with it. He knew that she might be pretending, yet he could not bear to upset her.
He was miserable!
âAlright, alright! I got it!â
âThatâs more like it!â Marilyn immediately became lively again and urged, âHurry up and go to the bathroom! Be careful not to spoil your bladder!â
Culver was speechless again.
After he watched Marilyn leave, he turned around and walked out through the glass door. He headed towards the yard to get some fresh air.
However, as he walked to the side of the courtyard, he heard a rustling sound.
âWho is it?â Culver raised his eyes and saw a pair of hands coming from the top of the wall.
Culverâs first reaction was that it was a reporter.
Culver, who had once been very annoyed by the reporters, subconsciously reached out to break the personâs hand.
âWhich media outlet are you from? Tell me your name. Otherwise, when I find out who you are, Iâll make things very difficult for you in Greene City!â
As she stood on the other side of the courtyard wall, Naomiâs eyes were about to pop out of her head!
This voice, this toneâ¦
Who else could it be?
âWho said that Iâm a reporter? Iâm here to talk to you!â
Culver was also stunned as he asked, âYou?â
âYes, itâs me,â Naomi tried her best to make her voice and appearance look a bit more amiable. That way, her chances of success in the negotiations might be higher.
However, Culver did not want to give her any chance at all.
When he heard that it was her, he pushed her hand even harder.
âI have nothing to say to a shameless woman like you!â
Naomi was caught off guard and almost fell off the wall. Although the wall was not too high, if she were to fall down, her legs and feet would be hurt.
At that critical moment, she grabbed Culverâs wrist and tried to jump over.
The next second, with a bang, Naomi had already jumped over.
The pain she had imagined did not appear. Subconsciously, she rubbed the ground beneath her. The next second, she felt a sudden stiffness on the ground. Only then did she lower her head and look at Culverâs furious face.
âNaomi George, youâre done for!â
Naomi hurriedly jumped up and could not speak coherently for a moment.
âIâm sorry, Iâm so sorry. I didnât do it on purpose. You were the one who pushed meâ¦â
âWhatâs the use of saying sorry? How dare you say that you didnât mean it? I donât believe that there is such a coincidence. Iâm here, yet you came, and you deliberatelyâ¦â
Culver closed his eyes before speaking again, âDo you want to make the rumors in the media true? Youâve really racked your brains for your rotten companyâs sake!â
Culver was really annoying!
Naomi was so angry that she wanted to hit him!
âIâm not here for that. I came here because I saw you here. Can you not think too much into it? Iâm just here to talk to you about the compensation fees. I didnât mean to push you over on purpose!â
âShut up!â Culver gritted his teeth and said, âAre you even strong enough to push me over? It was just an accident just now!â
Naomi was confused.
Was Culver allowing her to speak or not?
Forget it! Forget it!
She really had no way to communicate with such an arrogant and self-centered person, therefore she simply changed the topic!
âI donât care what you think. I just want to discuss with you about whether or not the deadline for the compensation fees for your car can be extended.â
âNo!â
Culver said firmly, âIf you canât pay the money by tomorrow, Iâll immediately get my secretary to file a lawsuit!â
âCulverâ¦â Naomi clenched her teeth and asked, âDo you really have to go all out like this?â
âYes!â Culver said resolutely, âNo one has ever dared to hit me! You are the first! Iâll make you pay the price for your evil doing!â
âThen, what are you going to do? If you are so angry that you were hit, then you can fight back! Come on, hit me. Iâll let you hit me!â
âI donât hit women!â Culver turned around.
âYouâ¦â Naomi was so angry that she wanted to say something, but another womanâs voice came from inside.
âCulver, are you okay? Judy is still waiting for you! Youâve been in the bathroom for so long. Did you hold it in for too long?â
Culver subconsciously looked back at Naomi upon hearing those words. When he saw Naomiâs smiling face, he grew extremely angry!
