Chapter 1627


    Charlotte was George’s first wife and the mistress of the Townsend family. Therefore, he had to give


    her face.


    Anita raised his ss and said with a smile, “Mrs. Townsend, my thanks to your husband and the


    Townsend family’s support for Dorodo’s city defense army over the years.


    “You’re too kind,” Charlotte said excitedly, raising her ss to her mouth and finishing it in one gulp.


    “I’m not being kind. I’m telling you the truth. Dorodo city defense soldiers are several notches better off


    because of your husband’s support. The quilts, clothes, and other living supplies are a great help to the


    city defense army.” Charlotte smiled ear to ear, and she looked at Anita with intense satisfaction.


    George had invited themanders-in-chief of the city defense army to their home for dinner before,

    but the previousmanders-in-chief had always looked like they were above them and spoke


    arrogantly.


    Compared with the previousmanders-in-chief, Anita was undoubtedly friendlier and less


    unsympathetic.


    “By the way, why didn’t I see George? Where did he go?” Anita asked.


    Charlotte’s expression instantly stiffened at Anita’s words.


    Amber quickly exined, “Well, Mr. George… A representative from Raphael City has just arrived to


    talk business with my husband. They’re on the second floor right now.”


    “Oh, I see…” Anita nodded.


    Nathalia standing nearby reminded promptly, “The strong hold giant crossbow that Mr. Townsend said


    is developed and produced by Raphael City.”


    Anita’s eyes narrowed slightly at Nathalia’s reminder.


    George had paid a deposit to Raphael City to buy stronghold giant crossbows and sell them to


    Dorodo’s city defense army. However, due to Anita’s refusal, there was no way George would be


    buying those stronghold giant crossbows, and he wanted the deposit returned.


    Someone from Raphael City hade to Dorodo and George’s house. Then the thing they were going


    to talk about was most likely the stronghold giant crossbow.


    Just then, there was suddenly a piercing sound of something breaking on the second floor.


    Charlotte and Amber’s expressions changed, and the others were not looking so good either.


    Anita stood up and said, “Stay right here. I’ll go upstairs and check.”


    “But…”


    Charlotte seemed to have something to say, but Anita cut her off before she could finish.


    “Don’t worry. I’m helping your husband.”


    With that said, Anita and Nathalia both went upstairs.

    The second floor.


    George stood in front of the sofa in the luxurious drawing room with an awkward expression.


    In front of him were two middle-aged men in military uniforms.


    One could tell at a nce that they were not from Dragon Kingdom. With purple eyes and round noses,


    people could tell they were foreigners from every angle.


    These two were visibly threatening George.


    “We had a deal, and now you want to back out? Do you have any idea how much trouble that gives


    us?”


    “Mr. Townsend, how disrespectful of you! Are all Dragon Kingdom people so unreliable?”


    George defiantly exined, “It’s not that I’m unreliable. We didn’t sign a contract for the stronghold


    giant crossbows in the first ce. We haven’t even closed the deal yet. Changing my mind now isn’t


    considered a breach of contract.”
