“That’s great.” As Holden was a responsible person, I did not need to worry much about it.
Suddenly, Emery’s phone started to ring. After seeing who was calling, she looked at me curiously. “The club is calling me.”
After accepting the call, she asked, “What’s the matter?” A few moments later, she hung up the call and picked up her bag. “Rylee is causing trouble at the club and is fighting with the employees. I’d better go and take a look.”
Rylee? Again? Is it that hard for her to stay away for a day?
Since Summer was not there, my job as her mother was to protect her hard work.
Immediately, I stood up and grabbed Emery’s arm to stop her from leaving. “Please wait for me. I’ll go with you after I change my clothes.”
I’m eager to see what else Rylee has up her sleeves after failing to slander me. If she wants to go against me for the rest of our lives, then be it!
Amid my fury, I failed to notice Anthony’s reaction toward it.
I didn’t realize that he did not accompany me there like last time until I entered the car.
Rolling down the car window, I felt disappointed after seeing Anthony not sending me off.
However, I quickly pulled myself together. Even without Anthony, I can still teach Rylee a lesson all the same!
When we arrived there, the place was an absolute mess.
The club’s lobby was filled with people. Rylee was there with Quince’s subordinates, and our employees were guarding the door. It looked like the men were preparing an uprise the way they surrounded the club.
It was hard to spot Rylee’s tiny figure as she was standing between big, burly men. However, her sharp voice was enough for me to know where she was standing at.
“Why are you making such a fuss? I’m going to fire every single one of you for treating your boss this way. How dare you point at me! You’re not going to leave this place alive, I’m telling you! What? Your boss’ words are the proof you want. Summer already announced that I will be taking over this club from today onward. I’ll be in charge of every decision here. What right does an employee like you have to doubt me? I’m running out of patience. What are you all doing in a daze? Go on and chase all of them out!”
Upon hearing Rylee’s order, the black men whistled and started to catch the employees like maniacs.
The club employees were not trained in fighting and equipped with proper weapons. While standing closely together, they held onto the mop, chairs, and stools tightly.
The man standing in front was more petite in size. Although his glasses had almost been slapped off, he refused to back down.
It was a touching scene, and I could only sigh that Summer had a good eye for choosing her employees.
“Stop, stop!” Even though Emery and I tried our best to scream, our voices were covered by the commotion.
“F*ck!” Emery cursed and strutted out of the room. A moment later, she returned with a megaphone. “Stop it right now!”
Although my eardrums almost burst by how loud her voice was, it worked.
Everyone in the lobby turned around, and a hush fell over the room.
Emery did not feel embarrassed but continued to talk into the megaphone. “I know that you’re acting like- Oh. I forgot that you are a foreigner. Okay. I’ll be straightforward and remind you that you’re in Chanaea. Do not assume you can do the same thing here as back in your country. I’ll give you ten minutes. If you don’t run off in ten minutes, I’ll make sure every single one of you will have a chance to meet with the border police.” In the end, she muttered in a low voice, “F*ck! I didn’t manage to teach you a lesson back then too. Thankfully you decided to show up by yourself.”
The foreigners exchanged glances, seemingly unaware of the severity of the situation.
After all, as gang members in M Country, their existence was enough to cause panic even if they did not commit a single crime in Chanaea.
Therefore, just a phone call was sufficient for the police to come running and teach Quince and his gang members a lesson.
As Rylee knew about the Moore family’s tricks, she decided to send most of the gang members out, leaving a few behind to protect her.
When they finally left, Emery and I started to console the employees’ emotions before negotiating with Rylee.
Rylee could only be so arrogant because Skull was backing her up. Therefore, I told her, “I know Quince is the one behind this. You should tell him that it’s trashy for him to cause trouble every other day. If this continues to happen, I won’t continue to be friends with him, let alone working together.”
Despite being found out, Rylee remained calm and grinned slyly. “Sienna, how could you blame Mr. Quince like that? I’m here today because of personal reasons, and it has nothing to do with him. He’ll get angry if he hears you talking about him like this.”
Why is she so secretive? Besides, why should I care if he’s happy or not? “If that’s the case, what reason do you have to intrude on private property in broad daylight? If you don’t have a good reason, I won’t hesitate to use legal means to protect my rights.”
“Don’t worry. You won’t succeed in doing so.” Rylee crossed her arms confidently. “Naturally, I have gotten the owner’s agreement for me to be here. Your daughter told me herself that the club was to be handed over to me.”
“Hah!” Emery snorted. “Are you daydreaming? Do you know what this club means to Summer? There’s no way she’ll hand over such a precious thing to an outsider.”
Emery’s thoughts were the same as mine. Therefore, I did not say anything else and stared at Rylee coldly.
“An outsider?” Rylee lowered her eyes and laughed. Her tone was calm despite being provoked. “Anything might happen. Just because I’m an outsider today doesn’t mean I’ll always be one. Who knows what’ll happen. Am I right, Sienna?”
Why is she bringing me up again?
“What exactly are you trying to say?” Although I did not have much patience for this woman, I could only suppress the anger in my heart as I did not want to be provoked. “I have no interest in knowing what you’re trying to do. I’m only here today to tell you that nobody can snatch Summer’s things away from her.” Pausing for a moment, I glared at Rylee. “If you think you can go against me, come and try.”
Back then, she was the one hiding behind others and painting me as the assailant. Therefore, I don’t mind facing her head-on. It’s a chance for me to take revenge on her, anyway. This isn’t a world where the weak is always right.
After noticing my hostility, Rylee’s gaze soon turned malicious.
Although I could no longer make out her original look after various plastic surgeries, I could still picture her angry look with her natural face.
Narrowing her eyes, she clenched her fists and dug her shiny fingernails into her skin. “How could you be so arrogant after snatching other’s things? What right do you have?” Her body was trembling with every roar.
Although she was only beautiful because of plastic surgery, it did not affect her charm. When she screamed, it would cause one to mistake her as a weak and innocent woman.
Even I was confused for a moment that I was the one that was in the wrong, not her.
However, I quickly realized that it was just one of her tactics to shift the blame onto the innocent.
“I don’t know what you mean, but I can refer you to a better psychiatrist if you need. As for the club, you can’t possibly take it over.”
Rylee’s life was ill-fated. She was mentally unstable, probably because she had suffered too much before. It might be a good thing for her to see a psychiatrist. That’s the only thing I can do for her now.
Rylee suddenly spread her hands before she took her phone out. “Let’s listen to what Summer has to say then.”
After dialing the number, she put the phone next to her ear and waited for the call to connect confidently.
Emery scoffed at Rylee, “You’re so pretentious.”
I looked at her and pointed to my head with a look of sympathy, trying to stop her from haggling over the matter with a lunatic.
Yet, a second later, Rylee’s words gave us a huge slap in the face.
“Hello. If you’re free now, explain the situation to your staff.”
The call actually got through.
After Rylee finished speaking, she put the call on speaker mode before facing her phone toward the crowd.
Soon, Summer’s voice rang out.
