Chapter 1041
"What about the baby? Is he hurt?" Alexia craned her neck ahead and looked at Elise's belly nervously.
Elise placed her hand on her belly and shook her head, smiling. "Ele's fine, don't worry."
Just then, someone knocked on the window.
Rylantha was standing outside, a big, dumb grin curling her lips. "Oh, my. It's you. Oops, sorry that I
took your spot. Didn't know it was you, Anastasia. I didn't mean to do it."
Elise shot her an icy look. Didn't mean to do it, huh? I was halfway in the spot, and you still took it
anyway. Didn't mean it, my foot!
Raymond had been following Elise all the way. Noticing Rylantha's attempt to start a fight, he got out of
the car and argued, "Don't you think that's a bit rude, Miss Abbott?"
"Shut it, cur. Your master hasn't even spoken yet. Know your place. I got the spot because I have the
skills. Besides, haven't you heard of'you snooze, you lose?"' Rylantha saw Raymond back at the
beach. She knew he was Alexander's underling, and she would afford a servant no respect.
Raymond's face darkened slightly. He then looked at Elise respectfully, asking her what to do. Initially,
Elise hadn't wanted to make a scene since they were here for fun. However, Rylantha almost hurt Irvin
and Alexia, and now she was talking to Raymond like he was a slave. If she took this quietly, she would
be nothing but a coward. So, Elise changed her position and rested her elbow on the window, cupping
her chin in her hand. "Didn't you hear her, Raymond? The spot belongs to anyone powerful enough to
take it."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man stared at her in confusion for a while before a sudden realization struck him. He straightened
his back and darted over to Rylantha. Then, he pulled his sleeves up and showed his muscles.
"W-What do you want?" In the face of someone of Raymond's size, Rylantha shrank on instinct.
Maverick got out of the car just in time to see this confrontation and quickly pulled Rylantha into his
arms. Angrily, he berated, "I can't believe Alexander's underlings would go after a woman!" Come at
me if you're a man. Or that was what Maverick would have said had Raymond not looked like he could
crush Maverick in a moment. Ultimately, Maverick kept his mouth shut.
Raymond rolled his eyes and ignored them. He approached the convertible and leaned over to place
both hands on the hood. He crouched a little and pushed the car back inch by inch, forcing it to leave
the parking spot.
Rylantha and Maverick stared in shock. They were sure the handbrake was pulled up, yet Raymond
was pushing the car easily all by himself. And to their horror, Raymond shoved the vehicle over the
safety rail. It dropped down the cliff like a rock and crashed into a pile of boulders. Then, a deafening
boom pierced the air—the car had exploded!
Rylantha shivered and snapped out of it. Furious, she roared at Elise, "Are you mad, Anastasia?!
That's a six-figure limited edition! It's just one parking spot! That was overkill!"
"Like I care." Elise revved her car up without looking at Rylantha. "Besides, you said the spot belongs
to anyone good enough to take it. Bill the receipt for your repairs to my husband. He'll pay for it." She
turned the steering wheel and easily took up the spot Rylantha's car was in a moment ago. Then, she
and her kids got out of the car and made their way to the hotel while holding hands.
"You are not leaving! Not after you ruined my car! Hold it right there!"
Rylantha wanted to argue further, but Raymond stopped her before she could do anything. "Watch your
tongue, Miss Abbott."
She was about to scream at Raymond, but Maverick tugged on her clothes, telling her to calm down.
She looked at him, then at Raymond. When met with Raymond's fearsome gaze, she had no choice
but to give in. Raymond stayed for a few moments to confirm that they wouldn't pose any more threat
before he left.
It could be said that Camren's status in Wegas was on par with Alexander's in Cittadel. All Elise had to
do was say his name, and they were served with the best service. They got three presidential suites on
the second floor.
Jamie and Narissa took Room 202, Elise and the kids took Room 204, and Danny and Ariel took Room
206, which was located further in the corridor.
Maverick and Rylantha stayed in Room 205, which was just across from Elise's room. Already annoyed
by everything, Rylantha flew into a rage the moment she entered the room. "Of all the rooms available
here, you just have to pick the one in front of that b*tch. Do you still want her back? Do you—"
Frustrated by her incessant rambling, Maverick shut her up with a kiss. Eventually, Rylantha's breathing
got heavier, and her mind was blank. All the frustrations she felt were tossed out the window. They then
went at it for hours. Only when night had descended that Rylantha had finally fallen asleep, satisfied.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaverick looked at the sleeping woman as he massaged his lower back. It's sore. Damn, she's getting
needier the more she ages. It's like she's insatiable. I need my meds and supplements. If I can't satisfy
her, I might lose all my money and have to kiss the Abbotts' wealth goodbye.
He wouldn't have to rely on Rylantha for anything. However, after Danny stripped him bare and tossed
him onto the streets, his luck took a turn for the worse. Not only did the people in his line of work laugh
at him, but his investors pulled out due to embarrassment as well. His future was doomed. If he weren't
smart enough to take Ariel's clue and hook up with Rylantha, his partners would have deserted him as
well, leaving him with nothing. This is all Danny's fault. I will make him pay!
He was wondering how he could bring Danny down when the boss of this resort told everyone that
Camren's son-in-law was staying for the night, all so he could ingratiate himself into Camren's circle.
God hasn't forsaken me just yet. This is the perfect chance. So, Maverick convinced Rylantha to come
with him. He told her this trip would spice up their relationship, but in reality, he was laying a trap for
Danny. A big trap.
Just then, his phone rang. It was a message from an unknown number. 'Everything's ready.'
Maverick took a glance and turned his phone off. He got out of bed quietly and made his way to the
reception hall.
Alicia and Suella happened to be checking in at that time.
Checking in at a new expensive resort was part of a socialite's life. Suella was just a pseudo-socialite
and could only come because of Alicia. She dragged Alicia here the moment the news about the
meteor shower made its rounds. Alicia was working with the manager to check themselves in while
Suella lugged her suitcase around and styled herself up. She was acting more like a socialite than
Alicia was.
