Chapter 200: Mrs. Anderson Has a Strong Character

The weather was especially humid and stuffy during July and August! Even the breeze was hot.

Hilla sat on the bench in the park. The screen of the phone was dark, and her face was serious and gloomy.

The sky was dark in the evening, and there was a layer of dust in the light. The laughter of the children in the public garden gradually became chaotic, and soon mixed with the various music of public square dancing.

There were many voices, and Hilla lowered her head to look at the ants crawling by her feet.

It was so late, and these ants were still crawling around, a sure sign of rain.

Hilla looked at ants very seriously. She sat there in a trance until a soft and sweet sound fell into her ears.

“Miss, can you give this to me?”

Hilla came back to her senses and raised her head. She saw a little girl with a ponytail standing in front of her. The girl’s round eyes were especially black.

Hilla followed her line of sight and found that the girl was looking at the water bottle in her hand.

She quickly asked, “Do you want it?”

The little girl nodded. Hilla handed the bottle over and said, “Here you are.”

“Thank you!”

The little girl smiled sweetly with the dimple on her cheek. She took the bottle and quickly ran to an old man with a plastic bag in the crowd.

The cheap skirt on her body was particularly messy under the light of the lamp in the night, but her small ponytail was swung high, and as she ran, it swayed cutely.

Hilla looked at the old man and the young girl who pointed at her, and Hilla couldn’t help but laugh.

Hilla felt that life was too difficult, but when she found that those who were more pitiful than her still lived an optimistic life, she felt much better.

Hilla, who suddenly felt that her life was beautiful, stood up from the bench with a smile.

In this world, children could cleanse people’s hearts. She was touched by the smile of a little girl.

Hilla suddenly thought of Emily, “Is Emily also such a lively and cute little girl when she grows up?”

Hilla chuckled. She had returned to the Lakeshore Center. The moment she opened the door, there was a delicious aroma wafting in the house, then Hilla suddenly felt hungry at this moment.

She turned around and saw a tall man busy in the kitchen. She asked curiously, “Didn’t Alexa come?”

Bruce walked out of the kitchen with a dish in his hand. He said, “It was all made by Alexa. I was only responsible for heating them up and bringing them out.”

Hilla pursed her lips. She thought that Bruce had cooked for her. She was about to be touched, but…

After dinner, Hilla went back to her room to video chat with Halle. She wanted to see Emily, but she saw Halle’s pale face.

“Halle, what happened to you? Are you sick?”

“I’m fine. I was a little tired after bathing Emily.”

Halle was absent-minded when she replied, and then she reminded, “Have you seen the fabric? I’m afraid the studio will be pressed for time. There’s also the video online. It was updated yesterday. If you have time, take a look.”

Hilla nodded. Seeing Halle’s absent-minded look, she thought that it was too tired for Halle to take care of the studio while taking care of the child. Therefore, she hurriedly hung up the video call.

Hilla turned on the computer and checked the material information of River City on the Internet. She was slightly stunned when she saw the news that the Tyson Group was taken over by the Fenton Group.

When did Titus go bankrupt? Hilla actually didn’t know. No wonder she felt Titus was depressed last time. Now it seemed that the Tysons didn’t fare well after Halle divorcing Titus.

At the very least, the woman who was pregnant with Titus’ baby had been with another man now!

Titus had nothing now. No wonder he wanted to get back together with Halle. Hilla sneered. In the past, the Holt family was willing to marry Halle to Titus.

First, it was because Halle indeed liked Titus at that time, and second, the material of the Tyson family was indeed good, which could satisfy the needs of the Holt family.

Now that the Tyson Group went bankrupt, River City’s largest fabric merchant had become the Key Group and the Hutt Group.

Hilla was unfamiliar with Stefan of the Key Group. She only heard that Stefan had a very cold and ruthless personality. Although she did not know more about him, she knew it was not easy to get along with him.

Thinking of the Hutt Group, Hilla frowned. The Hutt Group was controlled by Horton’s family.

Did she need to ask Bruce for help?

Horton was an illegitimate son. Although he was a Hutt, he was a brain specialist, which was inspiring.

Horton’s mother was said to be an ordinary college student, but his father was a bit of a scumbag. He had a wife, but he seduced Horton’s mother. In the end, he had abandoned Horton’s mother.

Horton’s mother died when Horton was five years old, but before she died, Tyree took in her and became her godfather.

Horton suddenly was related to the Andersons, and it was also because of this that the Hutts agreed to take Horton back to the Hutt family to raise.

In addition to Horton, Horton’s father also had two sons and one daughter, but they were all good-for-nothings.

Therefore, in his later years, Horton’s father valued Horton most.

Hilla frowned. She couldn’t ask Horton for help. Since Horton had become a doctor, it meant that he didn’t want to have too much relationship with the Hutts, and he didn’t care about the Hutt family’s property.

Hilla felt that she had to handle this matter by herself, and she decided to meet the representatives of the two groups tomorrow.

As Hilla was lost in thought, a man appeared behind her. By the time she discovered it, Bruce had pulled her into his arms.

Bruce lowered his head and hugged her tightly. Hilla could feel his hot breath.

Hilla felt her face burning. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, “Are you done?”

“Yes, but it seems that you are still busy.”

Bruce’s voice was especially low and deep. He whispered something in her ear.

The slight itch in her ear made Hilla shrink her neck and she muttered, “I’m not busy.”

She was the idlest person, so idle that many people found fault with her.

Bruce chuckled. His gaze fell on the notebook she was taking a pen to seriously record. He whispered, “Darling, do you want me to help you?”

“No!”

Hilla became serious. She suddenly turned her head and bumped into Bruce.

Bruce kissed her forehead.

Hilla’s long eyelashes trembled, and she was flustered by Bruce’s sudden approach.

For some reason, Hilla suddenly thought of the cute little girl with her ponytail.

Hilla said, “Bruce, I’m hoping for a daughter.”

Bruce froze for a moment, and then he approached her and said in a pleasant voice, “Okay!”

…

Hilla met the person in charge of the Key Group’s Branch the next day. The reason why she didn’t meet the director of the Hutt Group first was that she wanted to know the price of the Key Group.

When the director of the Hutt Group saw Hilla, he was stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he said uncertainly, “Are you Mrs. Anderson?”

He was a small manager of a branch company, so he was not qualified to attend all kinds of parties of the higher-ups. He recognized Hilla because of a piece of recent news.

Bruce went shopping at the Infant clothing store with his wife. The photos were very clear, so many people remembered Hilla’s appearance.

Regardless of whether Hilla was really favored by Bruce or not, to them, Hilla was Bruce’s wife. Therefore, it was easy for Hilla to do a lot of things, and naturally, Hilla was also the target of others’ flattery.

However, it was different now. The person in charge pushed his glasses and muttered in his mind.

Everyone knew that the Key Group and the Anderson Group were not on good terms. However, as Bruce’s wife, Hilla came to order raw materials from the Key Group. Although the Anderson Group did not involve in the fabric industry, the director of the Hutt Group still felt that Hilla looked like a commercial spy.

“I’m Mrs. Anderson. Can’t I order the fabric of your company?”

Hilla replied calmly, directly exposing the other party’s thoughts. As expected, a hint of embarrassment flashed across the face of the director sitting opposite her, and he coughed awkwardly.

“Of course not. Since you want to order raw materials from our company, you are naturally our company’s customer. We have always treated our customers equally, regardless of the size of the order. We will never be biased.”

Hearing this, Hilla raised her eyebrows slightly. She felt that the director was telling her not to pull some strings. Even if she tried to pull some strings, it was useless.

The president of the Key Group and Bruce were not on good terms, so they did not care about her identity.

Hilla nodded and told him her request and the amount of her order. The director was also very professional. It could be seen that he had been in this field for a long time. He was very clear about the materials needed for the clothes she designed and asked her carefully.

The two talked for a whole morning. The price offered by the Key Group was very reasonable and there was no discount either. The price he gave her was no different from that they gave the ordinary users.

However, because the request for the cloth she ordered was relatively high and the quantity was not large, the price was still high to Hilla.

After the two of them talked, Hilla chose an ordinary restaurant to rest.

There were not many people in this restaurant, and there was a five-star hotel opposite. Hilla sat in front of the window and looked outside absent -mindedly. Nothing got her attention until she saw a familiar girl coming out of Julian’s car and going into the hotel behind Julian.

My God! She saw Margaret and Julian together!

Hilla was shocked. The next second, she took out her phone and called Margaret.

Margaret seemed to be on the elevator, so the call did not get through, but soon Margaret sent her a message.

Margaret said, “Do you miss me? Do you want me to go shopping with you?” Margaret sent her a snicker emoji, and Hilla rolled her eyes.

After reading the message, Hilla couldn’t help but ask, “You and Julian are together? I see you!”

She had good eyesight. Although the hotel wasn’t too close, she was sure that the girl she saw just now was Margaret.

Especially when Margaret was talking to Julian excitedly just now, Hilla was very familiar with the scene.

Hilla didn’t give Margaret the chance to make up a story and asked directly.

Sure enough, Margaret didn’t reply to her.

Hilla didn’t know if Margaret had gone to make up a story or to adjust her emotions and plan to confess to Hilla. But Hilla knew that Margaret had no chance to avoid. After all, even if Margaret didn’t say anything, she would take the initiative to ask Margaret.

To Hilla’s surprise, Margaret packed up her luggage that afternoon and returned straight to Far City.

She even left Julian here!

In the hotel, Julian looked at the messy documents on the coffee table and frowned.

As his assistant, Margaret was really incompetent. He was still here, they hadn’t finished the work yet, but she went back to the company, leaving him in the hotel alone.

After lunch, Hilla met the person in charge of the Hutt Group in the afternoon. Although the Hutt Group was far inferior to the Key Group and the Anderson Group in financial resources, the Hutt Group had been in the cloth business for many years and was the most senior fabric supplier in River City.

The quality of famous brands had a certain guarantee, but there was also the

behavior of bullying customers.

Unlike the simple and capable director of the Key Group, the director of the Hutt Group was very enthusiastic after seeing her.

The Hutts were related to the Andersons because of Horton. And the Hutt Group was very willing to keep a good relationship with the Anderson Group.

The people of the Hutt Group had always been very kind to the people of the Anderson Group, not to mention that Hilla was Bruce’s wife.

The director of the Hutt Group heard that Bruce and Hilla went shopping at the Infant clothing store not long ago. Maybe Hilla was already pregnant. Regardless of whether Bruce had lovers outside, Hilla was his wife.

They were the elites of the business world with sharp eyes, so they naturally treated Hilla in a polite manner.

“We will do our best to satisfy your request. We can discuss the price later if you don’t satisfy. After all, the Anderson Group and the Hutt Group are cooperative for many years!”

“These raw materials are my personal needs, and they have nothing to do with the Anderson Group.”

Hilla smiled, and she looked particularly enchanting. The person opposite her looked at her in a trance. Then, he was so scared that he quickly looked away.

The man thought, “If Mr. Anderson knows that I stare at his wife, I will be a dead meat!”

“I understand what you said. Don’t worry. The price given to you by the Hutt Group is definitely the best.”

The director of the Hutt Group quickly reacted. As Bruce’s wife, Hilla had a strong character. He understood that he could not mention Bruce when he talked with Hilla.

Hilla looked at him with a slight frown. She felt that he didn’t understand her meaning.

It was true that she wanted a discount, but she didn’t want it to be because of Bruce.

The studio would continue operating and they couldn’t depend on Bruce all the time.

She opened this studio, so she must manage and operate it by herself.

“The amount of I order is not much. You just need to give the most reasonable price according to the market.”

Although she didn’t want Bruce to intervene, since the director of the Hutt Group could give her a reasonable discount because of Bruce, she was willing to cooperate with him.

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Anderson. I will go back and study your purchasing list with the management of the company. I will give you the most reasonable price.”

Hilla received a call from Halle after the director of the Hutt Group left.

“Emily is missing. What should I do? Hilla! Emily is missing.”

On the phone, Halle’s trembling voice was filled with panic. Hilla was so scared that she stood up from the sofa and ran out!
