Chapter 699: Chapter 699: This is indeed a problem


    Now that they were about to be escorted out of thepany, Richard Lopez had no face to stay here any longer.


    He had no choice but to leave first with Edward Lopez and Mrs. Lopez.


    The day had not been going well, Richard Lopez had been holding in his anger. When they reached the parking lot and were about to get in the car, Richard suddenly turned around and pped Edward in the face.


    “This is all your fault!”


    Mrs. Lopez wanted to intervene but dared not, because it was quite embarrassing to hit their son in front of so many people. Where could Edward hide his face?


    But Richard was furious at the moment, and even Mrs. Lopez did not dare to appease him.


    She was afraid it would have the opposite effect, making Richard even angrier.


    How could Richard not be angry?


    They hade to seek Adrian Zhekova, but they got nothing done and were instead counterattacked by Cindy rke.


    “The longer this drags on, the greater the loss to ourpany. The loss for each day is immeasurable,” Richard said in a deep voice.<div>


    Mrs. Lopez immediately took the opportunity to say: “That Cindy rke is too cunning, turning ck into white. We came to apologize in good faith, but she twisted it as if we are forcing her to forgive us. We ended up looking like the bullies against her and Adrian.”


    “Who would believe us if we say that we bullied Adrian? Who dares to bully him?” Mrs. Lopez added discontentedly.


    “Cindy rke is definitely not simple, otherwise why would she be chosen to marry Adrian?” Richard said in a low voice, “Even I misjudged her today. I underestimated her, and that’s why she managed to get one over me.”


    Mrs. Lopez seized the opportunity to say: “We all misjudged her. Who would have thought that she, so young, could be so cunning? Even you fell for her tricks, let alone Edward who is less experienced.”


    Richard said irritably: “He’s young and inexperienced, but Cindy is even younger than him. Can’t he handle a woman younger than himself? Is that reasonable?”


    Edward muttered in protest: “Didn’t you also fail to handle Cindy? She’s not just a few years younger than you, but a few decades younger. You could even have a daughter her age with plenty of years to spare, aren’t you also yed by her?”


    “What did you say?!” Richard red at Edward.


    Edward then said: “If you’re not a match for Cindy, then it’s more understandable that I’m not.”


    Afraid that the two would start fighting again, Mrs. Lopez hurriedly said: “Alright, let’s get in the car. It’s unlikely, but what if a reporter happens to take pictures of this?”


    So, the three of them quickly got in the car.


    “Where should we go now?” Mrs. Lopez asked.


    “Back to thepany first,” Richard started the car, “You twoe back with me. No matter what, since we’ve found the cause of our problems, let’s collectively think of a solution at thepany.”


    Mrs. Lopez sighed and said, “It is really unexpected that Cindy is so challenging, looking so young yet being so maniptive.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Saying that Cindy is maniptive is an understatement.


    Being able to swiftly, within just a few seconds, turn the attention onto Richard, repositioning their visit from an apology to bullying someone, managing to refute their argument without suitable words, shows how sharp her reaction and maniption skills are.


    Can an ordinary person possess such skills?


    Just think about what Cindy said.


    They would certainly continue to apologise to Cindy at Pin if she did not forgive them this time around, wouldn’t they?


    They definitely would.<div>


    They would keep apologizing until Cindy forgave them.


    So, was Cindy wrong when she said they were there to force her to forgive them?


    Actually, she wasn’t wrong. To persist in getting her to forgive them bes an imposition from her perspective.


    Although they did not have such intentions, others might indeed interpret it that way.<div>


    They asked Adrian Zhekova to spare theirpany, but Adrian’s actions against theirpany could not have simply been his personal initiative. He must have utilized the resources and power of Pin Group, the Zhekova family, and his friends.


    They went directly to thepany to find Adrian that day. Saying such things in front of so many people might indeed give rise to doubts of Adrian’s personal use of public resources, even if they didn’t mean to use him of doing so.


    Therefore, when Cindy counterattacked, they had no means of defending themselves.


    Others, too, were likely to misinterpret it in this way.


    With Cindy’s ability to seize these two points against them in just a few seconds, pinpointing exactly where they could not argue back, it is clear how terrifyingly cunning she is.


    How can the Lopez family not take it seriously?


    Richard Lopez said irritably: “Did you think that an ordinary person could sessfully marry into the Zhekova family, bing Adrian’s wife? It’s already not easy for her to enter the Zhekova family, let alone bing the wife of the next Family Head. How could Cindypete and win against thesepetitors without any status or reputation? Could she do it without some skills?”


    “Otherwise, howe she seeded? Why did all those girls from big families fail? This mistake falls both on me for being careless and Edward for being thoughtless!”


    “I didn’t know she was Adrian’s wife at the time. If I had known, I would have kept far away. How could I provoke her?” Edward exined.


    Mrs. Lopez asked worryingly: “So what should we do next?”


    Richard thought for a moment: “I just don’t know what Cindy’s situation is like in the Zhekova family. She entered the Zhekova family with nothing. Can the Zhekova family really ept her just like that, without any objections? Could they really be that satisfied with her?”


    Mrs. Lopez said: “I have a son, and as a mother, I can’t imagine any family being 100% satisfied with their daughter-inw. It would be good enough if they thought their daughter-inw is passing grade. Even if someone like Cindy married into our family, I wouldn’t be satisfied. How can the Zhekova family be satisfied?”


    Richard agreed and nodded: “You make a good point. I also suspect that the Zhekova family is not satisfied.”<div>


    Mrs. Lopez analyzed: “If they were satisfied, why hasn’t the Zhekova family made it public? Edward said he didn’t know Cindy was Adrian’s wife before. This could not necessarily mean Cindy intentionally hid it, it might be the Zhekova family who did not want her to disclose it. From this, we can see that the Zhekova family might not have a certain attitude towards Cindy.”


    Edward frowned and said: “But if that’s the case, why are all the employees of Pin so polite to Cindy? Plus, they all know that Cindy is Adrian’s wife, and they all seem really eager to please her.”


    Mrs. Lopez paused: “That’s a problem.”


    After thinking for a while, she said, “Could it be possible that this is because Adrian currently has control over Pin Group? Although the elder members of the Zhekova family disapprove, Adrian is satisfied.”
