Chapter 97 He Really Is A Bumpkin


    Chapter 97 He really is a bumpkin


    After Scarlet finished speaking, she gave L a cold nce before walking towards the


    warehouse. L didn''t say anything and followed her.


    It wasn''t until Scarlet had loaded the goods onto the car and was about to get in that L


    grabbed her arm. "Wait,e with me to see Mr. Elliott for a bit. We can leave together afterwards."


    Hearing this, Scarlet''s face showed annoyance and impatience as she shook off his hand. "L,


    are you crazy? You''ve been following me without saying anything and now you want me to go with


    you? What, do you want to pursue me too?"


    She couldn''t help but wonder what this jerk was up to. He used to ignore herpletely but now he


    was trying to stick around?


    Was he ying hard-to-get?


    Or was he just being persistent because she was not paying attention?


    "Don''t be ridiculous! Your father asked me to protect you because someone might try something


    against you," L exined while furrowing his brows.


    "Ha! With so many guys pursuing me, your reason is reallyme," Scarlet sneered at him in disdain.


    "You''re just trying too hard! You''re such a basic guy!" Scarlet rolled her eyes at him.


    "Pursue me? You''re my brother-inw''s woman; why would I pursue you?" L retorted


    defensively. "Your father asked me specifically to protect you; if you don''t believe it then call him


    yourself."


    L was a bit speechless at Scarlet''s misunderstanding and couldn''t help but feel annoyed.


    "This girl seems a bit narcissistic, huh?"


    "Get lost! Who said I''m Mason''s woman? Listen carefully, we don''t have any rtionship yet. Who


    needs your protection? Get out of my way!" Scarlet was furious when she heard L say that


    she was Mason''s woman.


    As she spoke, she tried to open the car door and leave. However, L grabbed her wrist and


    forcefully closed the door.


    "From now on, until we see your dad, you can''t leave my sight!" he dered.


    "Lead the way, Miss," L said impatiently as he grabbed Scarlet''s wrist and pulled her towards


    the office building.


    "Oh..." The female secretary who witnessed this scene couldn''t help but feel embarrassed.


    "You jerk! Let go of me! Why should I follow you?" Scarlet shouted angrily.


    "You''re such a boring man! A stinky pervert!" She threatened him by saying "I''ll call for harassment!


    Do you believe me if I tell my dad to catch you?"


    "Asshole!" Scarlet''s face turned red with anger as she struggled desperately, but to no avail.


    A few minutester, Albie''s secretary led L into a reception room and announced, "Mr. Elliott,


    Mr. Willis is here!"


    "If you don''t want to embarrass yourself, then stop making a scene! Do you hear me?" L said


    to Scarlet after their tumultuous journey.


    The beautiful heiress was now red-eyed and filled with anger and resentment. When had she ever


    been treated like this before?


    This bastard was so domineering!


    Scarlet hated L at that moment and red at him fiercely.


    Just then, Albie came out to greet them and was surprised to see Scarlet with L.


    "Scarlet? You''re here too? Come in for some tea," he said.


    "Yes, sorry for bothering, Mr. Elliott," Scarlet replied calmly as she tried not to make a scene in front


    of Albie and the others present.


    L was determined to keep her, and Scarlet hadpromised.


    At that moment, Albie turned and shook L''s hand, gesturing towards the hall with a nod. "Mr.


    Willis, I apologize for not personallying down to greet you with so many guests here today."


    "No worries, you go ahead and do what you need to do," L waved his hand dismissively.


    Albie smiled apologetically and let L go in first to take a seat in the spacious reception room


    that was over 200 square metersrge. There were already more than ten people sitting there


    dressed in their best attire.


    After Scarlet came in, several bosses were enthusiastically greeting her by her side. As the


    daughter of themander, she was always the center of attention wherever she went!


    Each person had a tea table set up in front of them with various snacks and tea utensils on top.


    With too many guests today, Albie had organized a tea party where everyone could drink tea while


    discussing business matters without worrying about getting drunk like they would at an alcohol-filled


    banquet.


    "Oh look who it is! The son-inw from the Lowe family hase knocking at our door? What


    brings you here?" A voice filled with ridicule sounded as soon as L walked into the room.


    Looking towards where he heard it from, L realized there was another familiar face among


    those present.


    Harlow''s boyfriend, Kacper, sat next to a middle-aged man who was none other than Monty


    Atkinson, the CEO of Monty''s Jade Wholesale Group. L chuckled and ignored Kacper, but his


    gaze fell on the other middle-aged man sitting next to Monty. The man wore loose white sportswear


    and sat there with an air ofposure and long breaths. His temples were raised high - a master?


    L thought to himself but didn''t stare too much before sitting down by himself.


    He picked up some tea leaves with his hand and put them in the teapot. He brewed it with hot water


    before pouring it into a cup and drinking it.


    "Haha... can you believe someone still drinks tea like this? What a bumpkin! So embarrassing!"


    Kacperughed mockingly.


    Monty shook his head. "Albie, why did you even invite someone like him? He doesn''t even know


    how to drink tea properly."


    As someone who often traveled through Yeginia for jade wholesale business in Moclington, Albie


    had be good friends with Monty over time. That was why the Atkinson family father and son


    happened to be here today as well.


    Monty heard about the incident at the gambling stone field from his son and harbored some


    resentment towards L. It was because of this guy that his 80 million dor worth of rawN?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    stones went down the drain. Otherwise, selling to Anton was a sure thing, and whether or not good


    jade could be produced was up to Anton and those gambling stone people.


    Raw stones were inherently risky.


    When Anton came, he can only suffer a loss.


    "Mr. Willis is my esteemed guest!" Albie frowned and said to the Atkinson family father and son.


    "Oh?" Monty was stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting Albie to speak up for L


    directly.


    However, at this moment another voice full of ridicule and sarcasm rang out immediately after.


    "What esteemed guest? You don''t even know how to taste tea properly! Making a fool of yourself


    here! Hmph!"


    "Top-grade Oolong tea is wasted on you if you''re just going to drink it like in water!" Scarlet


    red at L with disdainfulughter in her voice.


    "L you bastard! Are you forcing me stay here with you? Fine! See if I don''t humiliate you


    severely and make you lose face!" Scarlet thought to herself.
