Chapter 133:Worth more than they imagined
Upon hearing that, Tylor's expression changed drastically.
Then, he turned to Bright and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
The lady who was standing behind him continued to mock Bright.
"Hmph! Who do you think you are? Demanding the Trade Building to terminate the lease agreement with us? You are acting as if you own the building. Ridiculous!"
However, as soon as she said that, Tylor's phone rang.
After he picked up, his face instantly turned pale.
Then, full of disbelief, he looked towards Bright who was sitting there.
Bright was calmly drinking his beverage.
At the same time, he slowly stated, "Sorry, but you are right! I do indeed own the Trade Building."
The woman was dumbfounded to hear that.
Just as she was about to say something, she saw Tylor, whose face was ashen.
He was frozen in place.
The cellphone in his hand dropped to the ground with a plop! He looked even paler than before.
Then, he turned his gaze towards Bright, his body shaking and his throat twitching.
"You… You…" Tylor was stunned.
Initially, he had assumed Bright was just a typical shareholder of a large corporation! If that was the case, offending him wouldn't matter.
Unexpectedly, however, he was the owner of the Trade Building.
On top of that, the manager of the Trade Building had just personally called Tylor to give him a fierce scolding.
Then, he canceled the Gaines family's leasing agreement with the Trade Building.
It was a complete shock to Tylor that made him panic.
After all, having a store in the Trade Building was incredibly important to the Gaines family.
Not to mention that the Trade Building is one of the top three shopping centers in terms of pedestrian flow and purchasing power in Cartmel, but they had also invested an exorbitant amount of money just to secure that shop.
If they really had to relocate their shop, the amount of capital they would need to reinvest was incalculable.
When the time came, they would lose millions at the very least.
At that moment, Tylor's expression went stiff.
He approached Bright, trying his best to squeeze out a slight smile.
He said, "Mr. John… I apologize for offending you earlier. Please… please forgive me…"
Bright glanced at this indifferently.
Then, he scoffed and said, "Didn't you just say that your wife's attitude is your attitude, Mr. Gaines? What's the problem?"
With that last sentence, the grin on Tylor's face froze even more.
All he could do was to give an embarrassed laugh and say, "A misunderstanding. This is all a misunderstanding.
My wife doesn't think before she speaks! I hope you can be understanding, Mr. John. Could you possibly give us a few more days before we compensate you? The Gaines family will do our best to get the money."
In response, Bright simply waved his hand, saying, "Sure, let's end it here. Also, remember to keep your son in line! Don't let him harass every pretty girl he sees."
Having said that, Bright looked at Melody and suggested, "There's nothing much interesting left to do here. How about we go somewhere else and continue celebrating?"
"Oh, okay." Melody nodded.
She then turned to glance at her dorm mates, asking, "Do you guys want to come along?"
Upon hearing that, her friends quickly shook their heads.
Afterwards, the two departed from the room.
As for Tylor, who was left behind, his expression turned rigid.
He understood the general sequence of events and could guess what had happened! It's likely his own son had recklessly harassed Bright's woman.
He had brought this upon himself.
Immediately, rage ignited in Tylor's heart.
"Dad…" Hogwart gulped nervously, looking at his silent father.
"Don't you dare call me dad! I don't have a son like you. You are such a good for nothing, always messing things up!" As he said that, Tylor took out his belt.
Then, with a violent motion, he mercilessly struck Howard's body.
Immediately, a piercing scream echoed throughout the restaurant.
However, Bright was oblivious to all of that.
By then, he had already left and gotten into the Lykan parked by the road.
Bright looked at Melody with a playful smile, mischievously suggesting, "How about we go hiking?"
The moment Melody heard that, she blushed instantly! She knew what he was getting at.
She replied coyly, pretending to be slightly annoyed. "Idiot…"
Despite her words, she still softly agreed with a nod.
Bright let out a light laugh at that! Then, the sports car sped off.
Time passed by.
The sunset dipped below the horizon.
In the hotel room, Bright was sitting at the edge of the bed.
Beside him, Melody was drenched in sweat. Her entire body was soaked.
At that moment, the phone that he had placed to the side suddenly buzzed.
He received a notification about a bank transfer. He had received 5 million dollars, no more and no less.
Looking at that number, Bright chuckled and remarked, "The Gaines family certainly handles things quickly."
He then sent a message to Elaine.
Melody, however, sighed and said, "It's just a pity that even though you were compensated for the watch, it's impossible to buy another one of the same model."
Upon hearing that, Bright suddenly laughed.
Then, he picked up his pants and pulled out the watch from his pocket.
"Look! The wristwatch is still here."
Tossing it lightly in his hand, Bright's lips curled into a smile.
"You…"
Immediately, Melody gaped in utter disbelief.
"How?"
Bright chuckled, placing the watch on the side.
"Does he really think he could deceive me with his little tricks? Hmph! He's as naive as a baby in the womb."
Hearing that, Melody also expressed some slight complaints, saying, " You are terrible! You scared me to death! I really thought your watch was lost."
"Haha!" Bright laughed heartily.
Then, looking at Melody, he said, "How about one more round?"
"Ah!"
A scream echoed.
Inside the room, delicate sounds were heard once more.
......
At 8:30 at night, Bright sent Melody back to school.
.......
After cleaning up the car as well as himself, he made his way back to the villa in Bahamas View.
