Chapter 21 Treat My Woman Well
"The Scott Family is having dinner. Why are outsiders here?"
The scene was dead silent. No one dared to breathe and stared at Abby Miller fiercely.
Abby Miller felt uneasy and embarrassed.
She was indeed not a member of the Scott Family, so she should not have come to join it.
However, she did not dare disobey Richard Scott's orders!
After an awkward moment, Richard Scott did not say a word. Abby Miller could not help but whisper, "Mr. Scott, how about... I wait outside first?"
"Why are you going out? You, my woman, are naturally a member of the Scott Family. If even you are not qualified to sit down, then why should I sit down?"
Richard Scott said calmly, his cold eyes staring straight into Sam Scott's.
Huh?
"Wait, this situation seems a little strange."
Abby Miller was obviously surprised for a few seconds.
At first, she thought that Sam Scott's words were aimed at her, but there was no need for Richard Scott to do this. But now, his tone and eyes... It looked like he had a grudge against his father....
Was there a conflict between them?
Abby Miller's bad premonition deepened again and she immediately denied her guess.
No. It's not that case.
The way he looked at Richard Scott was cold, but Sam Scott's eyes were sharp. There was not a trace of kindness that his father should have.
These two people were simply eyeing each other from a distance!!!
The atmosphere in the dining room seemed to become a little sparky, and the smell of gunpowder was extremely strong.
Everyone did not dare breathe, especially Abby Miller. She felt the cold aura emanating from Richard Scott. She felt that if she stayed here like this, she might be frozen into an ice stick. "Alright. It's rare for Richard to come home for dinner. Don't mind it. Mr. Chen, why aren't you moving chair?"
Just when everyone did not know what to do, the woman stood up again as a lobbyist.
Mr. Chen took the order and left. When he came back, he had a chair in his hand.
Richard Scott pulled Abby Miller to his seat and sat down. His expression did not relax at all.
"Well, everyone, hurry up and move your chopsticks. The dishes are cold."
The woman continued to ask them to eat, but she did not look directly at Abby Miller.
Even though Abby Miller knew nothing about anything, in just a few minutes, she had more or less figured out the relationship between Richard Scott and the Scott Family. "He doesn't seem to have a good relationship with his family?"
Everyone moved their chopsticks and began to eat. Although Abby Miller also picked up her chopsticks, she did not dare pick up the dishes.
Seeing this, Richard Scott put a few shrimps in her bowl and ordered, "Eat!"
Abby Miller was frightened to tears in her heart.
"Eat your ass. Who can handle such a terrible atmosphere?"
At the beginning of the meal, the whole restaurant was quiet. But after eating half of it, Richard Scott finally said, "What do you want me to come back for?"
It was obvious that he was asking Mr. Scott.
Mr. Scott glared at him sharply, as if he was worried about Abby Miller, an outsider. He replied coldly, "Let's talk in the study after dinner."
"Sorry, I'm very busy. You only have ten minutes."
He lifted his watch and looked at the time. Richard Scott had already started counting down.
п
Sam Scott's face darkened for a few seconds. After a moment of silence, he said, "I have discussed with Nancy's parents and decided to hold your wedding in advance."
п
Richard Scott stopped what he was doing and raised his black eyes. The cold air in his eyes froze.
The temperature seemed to have dropped a little. The dozen or so people who had been quietly eating with their heads lowered opened their eyes wide and looked at Richard Scott's expression cautiously, as if they were frightened.
Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere, Abby Miller also became nervous.
She stared fixedly at Richard Scott, afraid that he would lose control and turn the table over.
Fortunately, Abby Miller's idea did not come true. After a long silence, Richard Scott asked with a sneer, "What's wrong? Is YS Group in a situation where it can't hold on without relying on marriage?"
"The marriage alliance with the Lee Family will further stabilize the current status of YS Group. Now the Lee Family is developing rapidly and can stand side by side with us at any time. It is not a wise choice to break off the engagement at this time. From the perspective of interests, this is also good for you."
Sam Scott's tone was very calm and emotionless.
"If you came back today just to tell me this, I don't think it's necessary to continue the discussion."
Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Richard Scott slowly got up. "But I think it's necessary to remind you that I have the full power of YS Group. If you want to use it to stabilize your power, I can only say good luck to you. But if you want to completely control me from this, and then I can tell you bluntly that I will destroy YS Group. At that time, no one can get any benefits!"
Pa-
Richard Scott had just finished speaking when Sam Scott's chopsticks slammed onto the table. His face was filled with anger, "How dare you!"
Everyone was so scared that they didn't dare breathe, especially Abby Miller, who dropped her chopsticks.
"You can wait and see."
Richard Scott said coldly. No one could tell that he was joking.
This time, the silent the Scott Family finally couldn't sit still.
"Richard, don't joke around. Your grandfather left the hundred-year-old foundation of the Scott Family behind. Now everyone has shares. If you destroy YS Group, won't you drag us into the water?" "That's right, cousin. The Lee Group is big, and you and Miss Lee are a perfect match. What's wrong with marriage?"
"We can discuss. No matter what, you can't destroy YS Group. Otherwise, your grandfather not died in peace."
A group of people continuously tried to persuade Richard Scott. This scene was truly shocking.
In the entire Scott Family, regardless of whether it was the young or the elders, everyone's aura was completely suppressed by Richard Scott. Even Sam Scott was no exception.
Abby Miller swallowed her saliva and glanced at Richard Scott.
"Since you want to discuss it, at least you should know how to treat my woman well."
As soon as Richard Scott finished speaking, Abby Miller had no time to recall before she saw everyone in the Scott Family looking at her.
There were more than a dozen pairs of eyes, some complicated, and some scrutinizing... In short, Abby Miller felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She felt uncomfortable and nervous.
What did Richard Scott mean?
What did he want to do by suddenly shifting all his attention to her?
"Abby... Can I call you that?"
Just when Abby Miller did not know what to do, a gentleman sitting opposite her greeted her with a gentle smile.
"Oh, okay."
Abby Miller nodded in a daze. She seemed to have figured out something.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
