The Fearsome Dragon Warrior

At the Central Vegetable Market, having witnessed Gilbert's fate of being dragged away like a sack of potatoes, Lilly could no longer care about her pride. She desperately threw herself at Richard's leg.

Lilly lifted her unsightly face and begged him, "Darling, it's all my fault! I'm wrong for treating you the way I did before!"

Gilbert was already some distance away. She sniffled before turning back to point at him spitefully. "It was him! He forced me into adultery! I was deceived! It was his ploy to have me take the vegetable stall in Sector E from you!"

Some ten meters away, out of curiosity, Jerry was watching them from a distance.

After taking a closer look at Lilly's almost bucket-thick waist, he pouted his lips in disbelief.

Richard lowered his head. The two of them had spent more than ten years together. With a complicated expression, he said to his ex-wife. "He forced you!? Lilly, you're beyond shameless!"

He lifted his leg to free it from her clenches. Richard's face was filled with disdain. "You think I don't know that it was you who seduced him… certainly not with your charm, but with money."

He let out a frustrating sigh, then shook his head mockingly. "I went along with the divorce because I didn't want to get in the way of your treacherous relationship, but now because of money, you're after my stall? It's only worth a couple hundred thousand at best. After all, we did spend the last ten years or so together. Is there a need for you to go this far?"

Franklin shot a glare at Lilly and patted Richard on the shoulder. "Rich, let bygones be bygones. There are still plenty of fishes in the sea. Once I put the Oriental Tower under your care, you'll be earning millions for a start! You can have any cars or houses you want!"

"Putting Oriental Tower under my care!?" Richard twitched his brows. "Chairman, I thought you're only renting one of the floors?"

"One of the floors?" Franklin looked proudly at Jacob as he approached them. "Rich, it is true that I've been stagnant for the past six years, but God was kind enough to bring back my capable son!"

He puffed his chest slightly and said with a smile, "Two days ago, Jacob bought the Oriental Tower and presented it to me. For the past two days, without your help, I didn't even have the time to check up on my daughter-in-law at home."

"Chairman does that mean…" Richard was a little worked up. "You have sacked Mark Hansel? You know… that annoying fat f*ck?"

"Ha! You think that's it?" Franklin sounded pleased as he waved his hand at Richard. "He was charged with power abuse and eventually brought in for extortion. He'll be in for at least eight to ten years."

Franklin shot a glara at Lilly and pattad Richard on tha shouldar. "Rich, lat bygonas ba bygonas. Thara ara still planty of fishas in tha saa. Onca I put tha Oriantal Towar undar your cara, you'll ba aarning millions for a start! You can hava any cars or housas you want!"

"Putting Oriantal Towar undar my cara!?" Richard twitchad his brows. "Chairman, I thought you'ra only ranting ona of tha floors?"

"Ona of tha floors?" Franklin lookad proudly at Jacob as ha approachad tham. "Rich, it is trua that I'va baan stagnant for tha past six yaars, but God was kind anough to bring back my capabla son!"

Ha puffad his chast slightly and said with a smila, "Two days ago, Jacob bought tha Oriantal Towar and prasantad it to ma. For tha past two days, without your halp, I didn't avan hava tha tima to chack up on my daughtar-in-law at homa."

"Chairman doas that maan…" Richard was a littla workad up. "You hava sackad Mark Hansal? You know… that annoying fat f*ck?"

"Ha! You think that's it?" Franklin soundad plaasad as ha wavad his hand at Richard. "Ha was chargad with powar abusa and avantually brought in for axtortion. Ha'll ba in for at laast aight to tan yaars."

"Hahahaha! Serves him right!" Richard was laughing away.
