My Domineering CEO Husband

Lottie held the phone tightly.

She had never expected that the jade pendant that Arthur had given her back then was now in Kevin’s hands!

But…

She took a deep breath. “Mr. Green, how can I know if you are lying to me?”

“I remember that that jade pendant was lost before I went to the Green’s villa last time.”

“And you tell me that I lost it there last time?”

Kevin sneered. “Don’t care when you lost it. Anyway, this jade pendant must be very important to you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lottie received a photo from him.

In the photo, it was indeed the jade pendant that Arthur gave her last time!

Lottie felt anxious.

She lowered her voice. “What do you want?”

“What do you think?”

Kevin said coldly. “It’s so late. Claudia was taken to the police station.”

“She can’t stay at the police station.”

“I want her to come back.”

Lottie bit her lip, looked up at Ralph in front of her, and pressed the speaker button.

Kevin’s proud and arrogant voice echoed in the corridor.

“Lottie, I’m not threatening you. But the jade pendant is in my hands now. It’s mine.”

“If you don’t do as I say, I won’t give it to you.”

“It is said that this jade pendant has something to do with your mother whom you have never seen before.”

“Moreover, what if I break it by accident for the worry of Claudia…”

“Break it.”

Before he could finish his words, Ralph said coldly, “Mr. Green, I suggest you break the jade pendant now.”

Lottie was stunned and looked at Ralph in disbelief.

Ralph snatched the phone from her hand.

He said in a cold and sarcastic tone. “Mr. Green, listen. The only one thing that your whole family can threaten Lottie might be this jade pendant, right?”

“Then why don’t you break it? You can’t threaten us any longer. We can make Claudia suffer what she deserves.”

Kevin was silent on the other end of the phone.

Indeed, the only thing left in his hands that could make her compromise was the jade pendant.

Although he threatened to break the jade pendant, it was impossible for him.

It was a threat, but Ralph ruthlessly exposed it.

“If I were you.”

Seeing that Kevin didn’t speak, Ralph continued, “I would try my best to please Lottie and come up with a most valuable thing to exchange with her. I won’t ask her to exchange the broken jade pendant with a peaceful night that Claudia could sleep well at.”

He said it calmly with irresistible and powerful voice.

In the Green’s Villa, Kevin began to tremble.

He glanced at the jade pendant on the table in front of him and suddenly felt that it was his last hope.

Ralph was right.

What he said that he would break the jade pendant just now could only threatened a little girl who had no will of her own.

When it came to a calm man like Ralph, his scheme was exposed in an instant.

After a while, Kevin sighed. “Mr. Chapman.”

He said in a low voice, “I want to save Claudia with this pendant.”

Ralph sneered. “The pendant is far less valuable than Claudia’s life.”

“Even if it was left by Lottie’s mother, I believe that no matter her mother is alive or dead, as long as I tried my best, I can find her.”

“When the time comes, the pendant will be worthless.”

Kevin’s hand, which was holding the phone, trembled violently.

He gritted his teeth and said, “What do you think I can use this jade pendant to change?”

“If it can’t meet my expectations, I’ll smash it directly!”

“Then I suggest you smash it now.”

“After all, the person Claudia framed is not my wife, and I can’t intervene. But if you smash the jade pendant, I will have reason to deal with Claudia.”

Kevin was speechless.

He looked at the jade pendant in front of him as if it was a timebomb.

Half an hour ago, when he found this jade pendant, he thought it could help her.

But now, he couldn’t do anything to Lottie with this jade pendant.

He couldn’t use it to exchange for Claudia’s life or a better treatment for her. He couldn’t even break it!All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

So… Was this the price of infuriating Ralph?

He held the thing that Lottie cared about the most, but he couldn’t do anything!

After a long while, Kevin took a deep breath. “What can I do now, Mr. Chapman?”

“Put away it. You may get what you want at the most critical moment.”

“But remember, you are not eligible to bargain with me.”

After that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Kevin’s response.

Lottie was dumbfounded.

Ralph put the phone back into her hand, and smiled to her. “My dumb girl.”

“You’re so…”

She was at a loss.

Perhaps it was because Ralph had always been gentle. She had never seen him so tough and cold.

It was Kevin who had just called to threaten her. But in the end, Ralph took the negotiation under his control.

What else could she do other than say “Awesome”?

“Let’s back home.”

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Ralph had to rub her head and took her to the elevator. “There are still many things to do tomorrow.”

Lottie nodded her head heavily and left with him.

On the way back, she sat in the back seat and couldn’t help peeping at him.

He was lying on the leather seat with his eyes closed.

He face was perfect carved. Even with his eyes closed, he was an overwhelming presence that no one could ignore.

This man… it’s reasonable for him to be arrogant and overbearing.

Ralph did not even open his eyes. “Am I so good?”

Lottie stiffened. She quickly looked away. “I think… you’re very powerful.”

The phone call with Kevin made her still immersed in admiration and shock for him.

“If you had experienced too much, you wouldn’t have been threatened.”

The man said indifferently.

Lottie pursed her lips. “Have you been threatened before?”

Ralph was silent for a moment.

In the end, he smiled faintly. “It is very common in business.”

Lottie nodded.

That made sense.

He was a businessman, so he must be very used to it.

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Ralph changed the subject. “Is today the birthday of Stella whom we met last time?”

“Yes.”

Lottie nodded. “You still remember her.”

She thought that a busy man would not remember a little girl whom he met by chance.

“Of course.”

Ralph pulled her into his arms and said, “She looks like you.”

After a long while, the man’s deep voice came from above her head. “If only our daughter would look like you…”

In his warm embrace and listening to his deep, fascinating voice, Lottie’s face suddenly blushed. “But it’s better for her to be as smart as you.”

Unlike me, I’m so dumb!

Ralph smiled. “That’s right.”
