Chapter 697: 697: Toothache

Richard Lopez thought to himself that he had been too careless this time.

He had been playing with the eagle all day and ended up getting pecked in the eye by it.

Seeing that Cindy Clarke was so young, he assumed she would be easy to fool, and he was deceived by her appearance.

Richard lowered his face and whispered, “Mrs. Zhekova, you and I both know that it was Mr. Zhekova who came after us to take revenge for you.”

Cindy quickly shook her head, “No, I don’t understand!”

“Don’t misunderstand him, Adrian is not the type to mix personal feelings with business. How could he use the Company’s power for taking revenge because of me? It must be because of the business competition between you!” Cindy said loudly.

Cindy straightened her face and said to Mr. Lopez, “This is not right of you. I respected you as an elder, and thought you were an upright person based on your appearance. I never expected you to directly slander my husband for the sake of competition!”

“In front of so many Pingla employees, you are causing people to misunderstand that he is abusing his power for personal gain. Mr. Lopez, can’t we just have fair competition without resorting to unscrupulous means?”

“What are you trying to do by accusing my husband of abusing his power in front of so many people from Pingla?” Cindy accused coldly.

Richard was stunned by this sudden accusation.

“Mr. Lopez, you brought your family to Pingla and forced me to forgive you. Fine, I don’t want to be bothered every day, so I’ll forgive you. It’s just a matter of words, after all. It won’t cost me anything.”

“But you came running to someone else’s company, in front of their employees, and slandered them. What’s that all about?” Cindy seemed really angry, her face full of rage.

“You’re really taking advantage of people!” Cindy complained.

Richard Lopez: “…”

He was stunned by Cindy’s counterattack!

Now, where would Richard still dare to think of Cindy as a young, easy-to-deceive girl!

This was clearly a demon!

They were clearly here to beg for mercy.

How come when it came to Cindy’s mouth, it turned out that they came to wrong Adrian Zhekova!

He felt wronged, okay?!

Who the hell came here to wrong Adrian Zhekova?!

Is it that they don’t think they’re dying fast enough?!

And yet Cindy acted as if they had forced their way into bullying them, what’s going on?!

Isn’t this a case of a thief shouting “Catch the thief”?!

It was their Lopez family that was being bullied!

So how did it turn out that they were bullying Adrian now?

Thinking about Adrian Zhekova’s bad temper and gloomy face, Richard Lopez shuddered.

Even if you gave him an additional 100 doses of courage, he wouldn’t dare to bully Adrian Zhekova!

Even though Richard was cunning in the shopping mall and calculative, he stammered at this moment, “Mrs. Zhekova, don’t wrong me! You… you can’t just make things up like that!”

“I… I didn’t wrong Mr. Zhekova!” Richard said.

“Alright! You come to bully us and still insist that you didn’t wrong Adrian. So, you mean to say that Adrian has been abusing his power for personal gain, right?” Cindy said, seemingly trembling with anger, “Well done, you Lopez family!”

“Edward Lopez was rude to me in the past, and now you came here saying it’s to apologize and beg for my forgiveness, but in fact, you’re forcing me to forgive you!”

“That’s not all, you even want to bully my husband!” Cindy said loudly.

Even Manager Hertz, who was siding with Cindy, couldn’t help but frown like a bun when he heard her words.

His teeth hurt.
