Love At The Right Price

Chapter 46

“What did you call her?” Frank growled as he narrowed his eyes.

Evan immediately corrected himself. “I meant President Randall. I’m sorry. Please just let it slide.”

“Let it slide? I think that she’s the one who’s picking on me.” The corner of Tamara’s lips curved upward.

“Let’s go. I’ve called the police. They will deal with this case of an aggravated assault with a knife.” Frank held Tamara and Tim’s hands as he said that.

“Tamara Randall, I won’t let you off the hook!”

“Lily, let’s just see the way you talk after you get out of the detention center.” Tamara’s gaze was filled with pleasure.

After the trio left the Hardy Group, Evan slumped in his chair.

“We’re doomed…”

“Evan, I can’t end up in prison! You have to help me!” Lily finally realized what she should do at the moment, so she ignored the pain on her hand and hugged Evan in a fluster.

“Do you know who you offended?” Evan’s face blanched as he questioned her.

“Tamara’s merely a director of Colt Enterprise! Other than them, we can always find another company to collaborate with!”

“That man is Frank Holt, the successor of Cloud Industries,” Evan muttered, causing Lily’s head to go blank and rendering her speechless.

The leader behind Cloud Industries was a mysterious man. As the big boss behind the company, he seldom showed his face before the public. Even for those large banquets that required the presence of people with high positions, it would be the vice president who attended them on his behalf.

Nonetheless, Evan was lucky enough to have seen Frank’s face in a photograph stored in the phone of an elderly president who had met Frank.

Some of the business under the Cloud Industries had indeed overlapped with the Hardy Group’s business. Although they were competitors, the latter was still weak compared to Cloud Industries. The Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

able to gain an upper hand in the market was through decreasing the prices of their goods.

They would be fine if they only offended Colt Enterprise but if they had offended the Cloud Industries, they were practically doomed in Deacon Town!

Lily screamed. “How could that be real? That’s impossible! We were the ones who got her that male escort, so how could he turn out to be Frank Holt from Cloud Industries?”

Lily found the reality unacceptable. How could Tamara possibly transform from a peasant into a wealthy person?

Her heart was filled with resentment and jealousy, while a sinister gleam flashed across her eyes. How can I just sit back and watch Tamara live a better life than me?

When Evan lowered his head, he happened to take in her resentful look, which made his expression fall. “You’d better not think about taking action on Tamara. The Holt Family is not someone we can afford to offend!” he reprimanded in a stern voice.

At that point, they couldn’t afford to go head-on with Tamara as they were no match for her at all. It would be akin to an ant facing an elephant.

Tamara? A sharp Lily noticed the change in the way Evan addressed Tamara, which caused the resentment inside her to grow. However, she put on an ingratiating smile and purred, “Evan, of course! know what I should and shouldn’t do at this point, but you have to help me to settle with the police.”

“Don’t worry. Leave the rest to me. You are my woman, so I won’t just stand by and watch you go to prison.” Evan reached out to pat her on her head.

That being said, he had another scheme in mind. Tamara was my woman for a few years and she was once head over heels in love with me. Although there were some misunderstandings between us before this, if I have the chance to spend some time alone with her, she will more or less listen to me, right?

Meanwhile, Tamara was totally clueless about Evan’s scheme. Currently, her attention was captured by the large and small figure in front of her.

“Frank, can you explain to me why you show up at the Hardy Group? I thought that you worked in Cloud Industries!” Tamara peered at Frank and asked in an interrogative voice.
