Chapter 2042
"Sorry, I can't accept such an expensive gift."
When Roxanne gave him her answer, Eleanor sat beside her anxiously, wishing she could push
Roxanne into place.
Growing up with Roxanne since childhood, Eleanor naturally knew Roxanne inside out.
Even though Roxanne was slightly introverted, she could be extremely stubborn.
As long as she had made up her mind about something, it would be difficult for others to persuade her
otherwise.
The perfect example was Matthew Larson.
From their first encounter at Renew Pharmaceuticals, Eleanor knew that Roxanne admired someone
as aloof and serious as him. Moreover, Matthew was handsome.
Hence, from the very beginning, Eleanor felt hostile toward him. She thought he looked a little familiar
yet didn't feel comfortable getting too close to him. To her, Matthew lacked the elegance of someone
born into a wealthy family.
That alone was enough for her to exclude him from Roxy's scope of potential partners.
Despite that, what surprised Eleanor was that Matthew, whom she thought was overconfident, actually
had a way to heal Roxy.
Through their conversations, Eleanor noticed the slightest hint of admiration Roxanne had for him.
Thus, she thought of ways to stop them.
Was Tritus a perfect man for her? Of course, not. He had a bunch of shortcomings. However, his family
was well-off and generous.
He was only qualified to be Roxanne's transitional boyfriend in order to push Matthew aside.
As long as Roxanne didn't fall head over heels for Matthew, everything was worth it.
With widened eyes, Eleanor stared at Matthew, who was sitting opposite them, and spoke up. "Please
persuade Roxy, Mr. Larson."
Her tone was filled with a plea.
Initially, Matthew accepted Roxanne's invitation in exchange for a new friendship. At the same time, he
also intended to learn about Bainbridge.
After all, people from Bainbridge could have been the ones involved in the homicide of his family back
then.
Taking advantage of this competition, he could obtain more information as it would somehow be useful
one day.
Contrary to his expectations, a simple meal as such brought a nuisance to him. Matthew didn't enjoy
the meal at all.
"Why bother? If you truly like Miss Roxanne, be more sincere and open about it. Even as a man, I can't
bear to watch you using despicable means like this to win her heart."
To be frank, Tritus had held his grudges against Matthew for a long time.
He didn't expect him to stir up trouble at a moment like this.
Adding to the fact that he was rejected by Roxanne, Tritus could no longer hold his temper.
"What are you talking about, Larson?"
With a dark expression, he questioned in a chilly voice.
Simultaneously, the men standing around them were instantly on guard when they noticed their young Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
master getting irritated.
As long as Tritus gave the order, they would rush forward immediately.
"Enough. We're all men. Stop dilly-dallying. More than a dozen men you stationed outside couldn't
even knock me out, not to mention these few." While saying that, Matthew pointed at the restless men
around them in disdain.
Tritus grew even more agitated upon hearing that.
"I hope you understand your place, Mr. Larson. You're currently in Bainbridge, which is my territory. Got
it?" While threatening Matthew, he slapped the dreamcatcher necklace on the table.
"Do you know what this is? This thing itself is worth the pay you earn for your lifetime. How bold of you
to be blabbering nonsense to me? Just because you're overconfident with your skills, you dare to show
them off in front of me? Do you believe that I can make your life hard in Bainbridge?!"
The meal was completely ruined at this point.
Since his confession was a failure, and Roxanne had already expressed her thoughts clearly, Tritus
didn't find the need to pretend anymore.
Eleanor was completely disappointed in him due to his behavior.
She knew that Tritus acted like a maniac because he had the support of the Lullaby Family, but was
this really the time to vent his anger?
He was nothing but a useless teammate!
