Chapter 267


    “You’re not making any sense!” Leah eximed, “All I want is a decent husband; why is that wrong?


    ra is standing in my way. Am I not allowed to do something about it? You’re just mad because you


    have a soft spot for her, and now you’re ming me!” Leah waved her hand dismissively and said,


    “Fine, I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll find someone else to discuss the Emmett situation with. After all,


    you’re not the only man who’s interested in ra.”


    With that, Leah made the decision to leave.


    Ignoring his own physical state, Elio quickly stood up and grabbed Leah.


    “Who are you nning to talk to? I won’t allow it!”


    “See, you’re ming me again and not letting me work with others. Do I have to listen to you all the


    time?” Leah threw off his hand and said, “If we weren’t rted, I wouldn’t even bother seeing you!


    There are plenty of people in this world who can work with me. Even if no one helps me, I can still get


    ra away from Emmett. Don’t tter yourself.”


    “I agreed to work with you; what else do you want?”


    “But there’s been no progress at all!” Leah scoffed and said, “Alright, you think about what to do next.


    I’m off to have tea with Emmett’s mother.”


    Elio frowned. “You’ve even got Emmett’s mother on your side?”


    “Of course! Did you think I was stupid enough to rely solely on you?” Leah pointed a finger at his chest


    and said, “Just, so you know, I will seed. No one can stop me, not ra, not you.”


    With that, she walked out of the hospital room with a triumphant smile.


    Elio clenched his fist and punched the wall in frustration.


    This had to be the worst moment of his life! And it was all his own fault! If he hadn’t gotten Leah


    involved in the first ce, he wouldn’t


    be in this mess.


    But he can’t turn back time!


    At the construction site, ra was chatting amiably with the workers, her hard hat in ce..


    Ricarde stayed close by, not daring to wander too far.


    “Do you think theplexity of this building is manageable?”


    “The moreplex the design, the greater the challenge! Sure, it looks nice, but it’s not necessarily as


    safe as a simpler building.”

    ra nodded and jotted down their points: “How do you think we could improve the safety of the


    building?”


    “Keep it simple!” replied a worker, chuckling and munching on his lunch.


    ra feltforted by their down-to-earth attitudes.


    She didn’t want to be stuck in the office doing theoretical work all the time. By interacting with the


    workers on the field, she felt she could learn more.


    Despite the asional misguided opinion, as the workers might not have all the facts, there were still


    many valuable insights to be gained.


    After a series of questions, ra walked over to Ricardo with her notebook.


    “This construction is progressing so fast. Could there be any quality issues?”


    “Absolutely not; you can trust us! We use top-notch equipment and workforce, so the speed is totally


    normal.”


    ra nodded and asked, “By the way, how’s the batch of wood my friend provided? Have we started


    using it?”
