Chapter 194: How Dare You to Help Another Man’s Wife?

Queeney glanced at Rigel, who was a little different, and said, “Rigel, I still have something to say to Ms. Hilla. You can go back first!”

Rigel tried to say something. But when he glanced at Hilla, there was no hesitation on his face. He nodded and left.

“I heard someone from the Anderson Group wanted to see me.”

Queeney said with a smile. She brought Hilla to the sofa and sat down, pouring her a cup of black tea in a dignified and elegant manner.

Hilla was stunned, and she thanked Queeney. Then she said without any concealment, “It has nothing to do with the Anderson Group. I want to see the owner of that shop and the designer!”

Hilla easily kept a distance from Bruce. The reason why she gave Bruce’s name card to the clerk was that no one in River City didn’t know the Anderson Group, so it was easier for her to do something.

After all, she was indeed Mrs. Anderson, so if she didn’t use it, she would feel sorry for herself.

Queeney smiled and observed Hilla.

Although they had only seen each other once during the party last time, Queeney still had a good impression of the brave female racer.

Such a beautiful girl was easy to remember. Besides, she was the wife of Mr.

Anderson.

“What a coincidence, Ms. Hilla. Two persons you want to see are the same one.”

“Mrs. Richards!”

Hilla said firmly. Queeney smiled, but she didn’t seem to be pleased.

“I wonder why Ms. Hilla wants to see me…”

Queeney asked in a questioning voice, but it was obvious that she knew the reason.

And she didn’t seem to have a good talk to Hilla.

“I have seen Mrs. Richards’ dress. It is very beautiful.”

“Really? Thanks for the compliment.”

Queeney’s response was very perfunctory. Her age and experience made her appear to be superior to the girls opposite her.

However, Hilla didn’t care about this. She didn’t come here to praise the dress.

“But I hope that Mrs. Richards can revise these works. Or rather, I want to ask Mrs. Richards to stop using embroidery and patterns of the Holt family.”

As expected, as soon as Hilla said this, the smile on Queeney’s face disappeared. She looked up at Hilla with a cold expression. “I don’t quite understand Ms. Hilla’s. The embroidery and patterns of the Holt family? Ms. Hilla seems to be too stubborn. After all, the company of the Holt family has been bankrupt for two years. I am afraid that few people in River City still remember this.”

Hilla couldn’t help but clench her fists. She could be laughed at, but she didn’t allow anyone to disrespect the things that her family had always been protecting.

She thought that the negotiation would not go well, but she did not expect…

“If Ms. Hilla wants to create a personal brand, these do need to be banned. After all, if I can make it, it should not be unique.”

Hilla was almost crazy. Queeney knew the purpose of her visit, so she could refute Hilla precisely.

As for Hilla, she knew nothing about the woman in front of her.

She didn’t even know why this woman knew the Holt family’s unique embroidery.

She even didn’t know how many kinds of patterns there were.

“I have seen Ms. Hilla’s works before. I admire you. If Ms. Hilla is willing…”

“I’m not!” Without waiting for Queeney to finish, Hilla already knew what she wanted to say and interrupted her coldly.

Queeney wanted to merge her studio and let Hilla be her subordinate. At that time, Queeney could use all the traditional techniques in the Holt family.

Hilla’s face was extremely cold. She wasn’t this woman’s friend. From now on, they became enemies.

Queeney was not in a hurry. Her calm attitude had shown that she was very experienced in this field. She could easily control every event and make changes.

“Since Ms. Hilla doesn’t agree, how about we talk about a deal?”

When she said it was a deal, Hilla finally became serious. From beginning to end, she knew that Queeney would make a price, but she didn’t expect that Queeney would be Mrs. Richards.

Without thinking, Hilla knew that the deal wouldn’t be that simple.

“Although Ms. Hilla is here for the Holt family, you are Mrs. Anderson. Our two families have been partners for years. I cannot refuse you like this. If Mr. Anderson is willing to pay 300 million and hand over the development rights of the new eastern district of Brightbush City, I’ll give all the drawings in my hands to you and promise to leave the design field.”

She was Mrs. Richards, who could live a gorgeous life. For her, fame and profit were no longer important.

Hilla took a deep breath. Looking at the graceful woman who was smiling in front of her, she felt that her nails almost inserted into her palm.

She had to take back the things of the Holt family, but Queeney clearly didn’t want to make a deal with her. Queeney wanted the Anderson family and the Anderson Group.

She did not know how important the development rights of the new eastern district of Brightbush City were. Even if it was not so important to the Anderson Group, she would not agree to give them 300 million.

Queeney looked at Hilla’s expression and said calmly, “Ms. Hilla, you don’t have to be nervous. 300 million is nothing to Mr. Anderson. After all, he used to be able to easily transfer a project worth over 1.5 million for an ’Apple of the Eye’. These drawings should be more valuable than that old dress!”

She said that the ’Apple of the Eye’ was an old dress and there was disdain in her eyes.

Hilla bit her lips and said in a cold voice, “Do you have a grudge against the Holt family? Or do you have a grudge against my parents?”

Queeney was stunned for a moment. She seemed to hesitate for a moment, but she concealed it with a smile.

“I don’t think this is important. I can’t discuss it with your parents now. I can only sit here and talk with Ms. Hilla. My condition is very simple. Give me 300 million and the development rights and you can have the drawings.”

Queeney knew very well that if Hilla wanted to create a brand for the Holt family, she had to take the drawings back.

When Hilla returned to the Lakeshore Center, she felt soreness all over her body.

The sun shone on her body, making her feel dizzy and sleepy.

She quietly opened the door and saw Bruce in the living room holding a video conference on the computer.

He came back early today and seemed to be waiting for her.

Hilla’s lips were dry. She silently turned around and went to the kitchen.

300 million and the development rights of the new eastern district of Brightbush City.

So funny. She now wondered whether Queeney’s target was her or Bruce.

Queeney knew that she didn’t have 300 million, and she also knew that she was Bruce’s wife. If Hilla were to be in debt, then Bruce, as her husband, would naturally share the debt.

She was just annoyed. Why did she always implicate others every time? Could she be so unlucky forever?

…

Bruce looked up, his eyes resting on Hilla’s face. He smiled, “You are back!”

Hilla snapped back and forced a smile. She chuckled and gently replied, “Yes!”

Bruce stopped his video conference, turned off the computer, and walked over to her. After approaching Hilla, he felt the heat on Hilla’s body. He subconsciously touched her forehead.

He immediately frowned. “You have a fever!”

A fever?

Hilla was a little stunned, subconsciously touching her forehead, but didn’t feel anything wrong.

How could she have a fever? No wonder she felt hot but did not feel abnormal.

Looking at her confused expression, Bruce knew that Hilla probably hadn’t felt anything wrong yet. He was unpleasant and his face darkened. He leaned over and horizontally carried Hilla, striding upstairs toward the room.

“I can walk.”

“Are you going to ask me to carry you after you fall?”

Hilla was speechless. She looked at this man in a daze.

She lowered her head slightly with a blushing face and allowed Bruce to carry her to the bedroom.

With butterflies in her stomach, Hilla felt guilty.

She was so embarrassing. Thinking about what had happened today, Hilla’s mind raced.

She was against what Mrs. Richards had said. She had no intention to take it seriously.

However, she must take back what belonged to the Holt family. She could not accept what Mrs. Richards offered.

The Anderson family had helped her a lot. She had brought too many troubles for Bruce and had never helped him in his business. After waking up, Bruce did not divorce her. Their marriage was a business alliance.

Riya, a daughter from a rich and powerful family, would help the Anderson Group to grow.

Hilla was laid down on the bed. Staring at the man above her, she was quiet and obedient like a kitten.

Bruce patted on the top of her head and said gently as if he was coaxing a child, “I’ll

ask Horton to come over. Take a nap if you are tired.”

Hilla was sleepy. When feeling drowsy, she wanted to get a pillow and lie down to have a good sleep.

Hearing Bruce’s words, Hilla quietly closed her eyes.

Bruce took his phone and walked out of the room. After the door was closed, Hilla, lying on the bed, opened her eyes. She gazed up at the ceiling and was lost in thought.

The bedroom was quiet when Bruce came back. He could hear Hilla’s light breath.

She had fallen into a deep asleep.

Horton arrived an hour later. Bruce was very unhappy with his speed. Horton chuckled and irritated.

“You are lucky. I’ve come over as fast as I can after getting away that woman.”

Bruce glanced at him and asked, “You were on a blind date again.”

Upon hearing this, Horton felt that he had a malignant tumor in his brain, and it would have killed him.

He sighed and looked at Bruce with envy, “I cannot turn down marriage as you do. But you’ve had a reward after procrastinate your marriage for so many years. Look at the girl in the room. She was sent over to you when you were in a coma?”

After finishing his words, Horton lowered his head and thought about something. Finally, he said bitterly, “If only I could marry my sweetheart after having asleep.”

“You can try.”

Bruce walked past him and picked up the medicine which Horton had prepared.

Horton raised his eyebrows and stared at Bruce’s back, “Are you cursing me to have a car accident?”

Although that car crash was not an accident, Bruce was seriously injured and in a coma for a long time. Lucas and his son took the chance to destroy all pieces of evidence.

Tyree was also quite ill afterward. Lucas and Rudi obtained half of the power from Tyree.

When Bruce was in a coma, they had done a lot of things, including affirming the car crash as an accident.

Bruce had slept for more than half a year. When he woke up from the coma, everything had changed. He even had a young wife.

This was probably the best thing for Bruce after he woke up.

Hilla was in a profound sleeping. After being woken up by Bruce, she took medicine and fell to sleep again.

When Bruce came out, Horton had packed his things. He raised his head and said, “Why did she suddenly return from the countryside? Has something happened there?”

Bruce looked up and glanced at Horton’s glasses on his face. He said calmly, “She came back for purchasing fabrics.”

Horton was a little startled, “The best silk and light fabric in River City are either in the Richards Group or in the Fenton Group, who has acquired the Tyson Group. Does Hilla need my help?”

He would love to help her.

Bruce glanced at him. Although he didn’t show any emotion in his eyes, it meant a lot.

“The Hutt family is trying to introduce you girls from the famous families. Will they allow you to help another man’s wife?”

Halle had been staying away from Horton and was careful all these years. The Hutt family had known something. Only Horton felt that he could not get Halle.

“You are not another man. She’s your wife, isn’t she? The Anderson family and the Hutt family are very close. I think I can help.”

The Hutt family specialized in spinning and producing silk. Although it could not compare with the Anderson family and the Fenton family, the Hutt family was prestigious and wealthy in River City.

The Holt family was in debt to the Hutt Group two years ago. Horton had not known either Halle or Hilla.

Horton felt strange whenever he thought about it. It seemed that the Hutt family was an accomplice to strike the Holt family to some degree.

However, merchants always focused on profit and interests. The Hutt family did nothing wrong for their own purposes.

“Hilla is your wife. You can take it as a personal favor.”

“She doesn’t like me to be involved with her business. She just does whatever she wants to do.”

If Hilla knew that the Hutt family had agreed to cooperate with them because of him, she would probably be more upset.

He knew what Hilla wanted. She wanted to be treated equally. Two people were equal and no one had a sense of inferiority.

“Well, Hilla’s should be fine tomorrow. If she needs any help from me, you can call me.”

“You’re a doctor. And you also manage the Hutt family’s business. Aren’t you afraid that other people in the Hutt family will be unhappy?”

Horton sneered. There were a lot of unhappy people in the Hutt family. Why should

he care about their feeling?
