Chapter 36 Pride is Not Confidence


    Because Antonio did note back for the whole night, rissa wanted to give him a call, but then


    she thought he had been busy in thepany these days. Someone in the morning also said that the


    Barons’ stock fell. A stockholder cast his son''s medical money, wishing to earn more money for a


    surgery. However, he did not expect the money to disappear all of a sudden.


    In desperation, he chose to go to the Baron''spany and staged a thrilling jumping incident.


    Although the Barons'' public rtions did a good job and had no media revealing the thing, there were


    quite a few onlookers at the scene. With certain people deliberately spreading the story, the news soon


    went viral in the whole businessmunity.


    After hearing those part-time workers gossiping about these things, rissa immediately dismissed the


    idea of calling Antonio.


    He just experienced a stock drop, so he would not be in a good mood for sure. She was not that stupid


    to choose the wrong time to call.


    Therefore, she cheerfully had the part-time worker wash some grapes, and then snackedfortably


    while watching TV and browsing her phone.


    Out of blue, the vi''s doorbell rang, rissa subconsciously frowned and said to the worker without


    even looking at her face,


    "Hey, that whoever, open the door."


    The part-time worker had seen all kinds of high-ss people in their homes. Some removed the gentle


    and elegant disguises, bossing around these workers, but some also reamined polite when giving


    orders out of their noble temperaments.


    Some despised people, while others respected people. She got used to it after a while.


    She dropped the broom in her hand, nodded and trotted to the door.


    Outside the door, Channing was in a new designer’s suit. His hair was tightlybed back in the head


    as if it were about to rise to the sky, and the hair gel solidified on the ends, looking very energetic.


    "Come in!"


    Part-time workers worked much more diligently as they got paid nearly as much as a babysitter.


    Two men with dark sunsses and ck suits behind Channing carried him in.


    "Hey. Channing is here."


    rissa’s tone was like one of those "poor" girls standing under the streetlights in dark alleys.


    She looked at Channing with a seeming smile. She was a little surprised but also a little disdainful of


    his presence at the same time.


    But Channing snorted, casually removed his sunsses and tossed them to the bodyguards behind


    him.


    "What’s wrong? Can you find any new changes on me?"


    Talking about new changes on him, rissa carefully took a look at him to find nothing new besides


    two more bodyguards, a nice hairstyle and a more formal outfit. After thinking for a while, rissa


    finally burst a few words out with an enlightened look,


    "An extra wheelchair."


    If people did not look closely, nobody would know that he was in a wheelchair, He was not tall from in


    the first ce, so sitting in the wheelchair really made no difference from him standing on his legs.


    Even such a sharp-eyed person as her had to stare for a long time to find out that he was sitting in a


    wheelchair.


    His leg was crippled, not broken!


    Though Antonio ragingly had people break his legs that day, he was lucky to only lose one leg. He


    could still walk perfectly fine by himself.


    “Bitch, I''m telling you, I''ve got plenty of money. Not even to say you giving those documents to the boss


    of thepany, even the police can''t do anything about me." He said.


    People like him were really not fit to open their mouths. Even just for the same thing, rissa would


    rather take more efforts to revenge that person than to curse.


    Unless, of course, those cursing words could really poke at their weaknesses.


    The unskilled “bitch” kind of word used by Channing just gave people a vulgar impression of him. He


    could never be somebody influential.


    Sheughed,


    "Oh?


    Really?


    If you have the money to solve the problem, what''s the point of visiting me?"


    Subconsciously, she thought that the reason Channing had not torn himself away from her and even


    brought two people to her house was that he wanted to downy the importance of the document.


    If there were no documents to threaten Channing, or if they could not threaten him at all, then what was


    keeping those papers for? For sale?


    Thoughts went around fast in her mind. The only logical exnation was that


    Channing had no other choices, so he had to make a risky move to dress decently and bring along two


    bodyguards, as if he already filled the embezzled public funds. In that way, he could confuse and


    convince himself that the documents were really useless.


    Channingughed it off. His primary concern was the event of that day, so he turned to the question.


    "You didn''t go to the junkyard the other day. Did you ask someone to mess with me?"


    "Channing, you can''t wrong me for this. I was all ready to go that day, but Antonio drove the car away


    and I lost my phone, so I could not reach you."


    Not to mention Channing, even she herself could not believe her own excuse, but holding Channing’s


    incriminating evidence, she was sure that even if he knew she was lying, he would not poke it out on


    the spot.


    rissa was too confident, feeling like she was in control of everything. Unfortunately, she made the


    wrong guess today. Channing did not give it a dick. He deliberately spat right in front of rissa.


    She frowned and rushed the part-time workder to mop the floor and pulled the curtains as if there was


    some sort of viral infections.


    With the help of his bodyguards, Channing stood like a normal person with fires of anger in his eyes


    burning mingly still.


    "Bitch, I''m telling you this. I''m hanging out with my brother now, I don''t care about those damn


    documents of yours, I''ll expose all those things of yours if you ever try to get anyone to mess with me


    again."


    Channing was threatening rissa using the typical technique used by women. He did not have much


    of a big dream and did not want to make the issue big. Though he used all the money on girls and


    himself, he never thought about killing people. Otherwise, he would have just killed rissa with a knife


    since the first time she threatened him with his embezzlement.


    Though he lost one leg, he still did not start any trouble with rissa, not even asking people to fix her


    once and for all.

    This was because he was wishy-washy.


    Not expecting Channing to really turn against her, rissa was stunned for a second, then her temper


    exploded all of a sudden.


    "Channing, who do you think you are? You are just a dog by my side, doing whatever I say. If you have


    the gut, then go tell Adide and Antonio!"


    "OK, you have guts, just wait!"


    After saying that, Channing angrily left the vi with two bodyguards. rissa''s good mood was spoiled


    too. Their partnership just ended here.


    Adide woke up to find Antonio no longer at home, so she mockinglyughed at herself. Maybe he


    went to rissast night.


    Thinking of rissa gave her a headache, because even she herself was not sure if she really wanted


    to reveal rissa’s fake pregnancy.


    After a while, Hanna came to visit Adide and discussed with her. They both thought that revealing


    the fact was not reliable. It would be best if they could make rissa reveal herself.


    Rather than waiting for rissa herself to make a mistake negatively, they decided to create an


    opportunity for her.
