“Look, he’s here,” Old Quincey smiled as he watched Eric and Emma enter the hall. He then gestured for Eustace to stand up.
Second Master Roberts also spotted Eric, but his eyes did not remain on him. After all, he had already seen his face for many decades; it wasn’t anything new. Instead, he placed his eyes on the woman by his side, Emma.
At first glance, this young lady felt quite cold but she didn’t seem arrogant; she was quiet with a non-intimidating gaze. Those around her naturally felt comfortable.
Originally, the entire family had expected this nephew of his to remain a bachelor forever. Who would have thought he’d finally be awoken.
However, would someone from the entertainment industry be clean?
“Come sit. Were you stuck in traffic?” Second Master Roberts immediately asked.
He originally thought, no matter what reason Eric had for being late, he would create an excuse for him: traffic. However…
Eric pulled out the chair like a gentleman and helped Emma sit before pulling out his own chair and replying, “There was no traffic.”
Second Master Roberts’s exp**ssion changed. Meanwhile, Eustace and Old Quincey’s exp**ssion wasn’t any better.
Emma glanced at Second Master Roberts and back at Eric. She noticed the smirk on Eric’s face and quickly responded, “I am so sorry. I was the one stuck in traffic. Eric was only late because he was waiting for me. I feel really bad for having made you all wait.”
As soon as Second Master Roberts heard this, his face warmed up before he looked approvingly at Emma.
At this time, Eric grabbed Emma’s hand under the table, r*bbed it a few times and buried it in his palm.
Emma understood Eric had done this on purpose to give her a chance to perform and gain a good imp**ssion.
“It’s no big deal,” Old Quincey waved his hand. He then pointed at Emma and said to Second Master Roberts, “I know who this young lady is. She’s been in the news quite often lately.”
On the surface, Old Quincey seemed to be praising Emma’s popularity and fame. But, in reality, he was trying to hint that she wasn’t someone simple.
After hearing Old Quincey’s words, Second Master Roberts asked Eric, “You know about this?”
“Of course.”
“Good,” Second Master Roberts completely trusted Eric’s judgment. Since he had brought her to such an important meeting, she definitely meant something to him. It wasn’t easy for Eric to dispose of the single life, so Second Master Roberts wasn’t going to let her escape.
As a result, he decided to put in a few good words for Emma, “It’s normal for young people to be fresh and vigorous. Of course, compared to Eustace, we still have a long way to go.”
In other words: ‘How dare you ridicule my niece-in-law when your son changes three women a day?’
In actual fact, the two elders were merely here to put on a show. The world of business is full of tough competitions and battles. They had already hurt each other so many times, there was no way they could truly be friends.
Of course, Old Quincey was rendered speechless by Second Master Roberts. After quite some time, he finally returned to the main topic, “I feel really bad that Eustace couldn’t keep his mouth shut and has created trouble for Eric…”
“Old Quincey, did you think everything would be forgiven just because you said you ‘feel bad?'” Eric asked.
“Mr. Roberts, if you have the ability, you should go prove yourself to the media. Was it necessary for you to complain to my father?” Eustace asked with a frivolous tone and arrogant attitude. It appeared he had no intention to apologize. Of course, Eric wasn’t here to get an apology from him either.
“Shut your mouth!” Old Quincey roared at Eustace angrily, “Apart from playing with women all day, what else can you do?”
“I don’t understand. Does Star King need to be supp**ssed by Kaleidoscope?”
“It seems Mr. Quincey has his objections,” Eric looked at the father and son as he lifted his eyebrows. At this time, Second Master Roberts did not intend to step in, he just wanted to concentrate on watching the show.
“Let’s compete, so you can prove to me that you are a real man?” Eustace squinted lazily at Eric.
“Let’s do it then,” Eric replied swiftly.
“What do you want to compete with me against?”
“Since we have everything we need here, then let’s compete for one thing at a time. I’ll let you decide on the challenge. We will have 5 rounds. As long as you win one, I’ll consider you the victor.”
Victory with one win!
Let’s not mention Eustace, even Emma was a little surprised by Eric’s offer. Victory with one win; how much disdain and shame did this represent?
Eustace’s face turned red as he stood up from his seat, “Since we are men, we should speak with our fists. The first round, let’s compete in boxing.”
“You asked for it…” Eric gave a refined smile.
“A word of warning though, I plan to let the media in,” Second Master Roberts pointed to the furiously photo-snapping reporters.
Originally, Second Master Roberts thought Eric would disagree. But, he instead answered in an unexpected way, “Up to you.” He then stood up and pulled Emma up with him, “In 10 minutes, I’ll see you in the boxing ring. Let’s go get ready.”
“Just because you are getting ready, why do you need to take…” Second Master Roberts looked at the couple and questioned.
Eric’s exp**ssion remained composed as he lifted an eyebrow, “I need her.”
After speaking, he led Emma towards the boxing stadium, disregarding the media at the entrance.
Second Master Roberts turned around and sighed. He suddenly realized, his normally emotionless nephew had this other side of him – what a shock.
Eustace watched as the couple left. He then stood up and also headed for the stadium.
“Should we go too?” Second Master Roberts said to Old Quincey.
“Let’s go have a look.”
In actual fact, Old Quincey was also curious how his son compared to others.
Not long after, the reporters were led into the boxing stadium to become the audience for the fight.
“The only reason Kaleidoscope is being so open today is because they want to clear up the rumors, right?”
“What rumor is he trying to clear with boxing? From my point of view, when has Mr. Roberts ever lost? Previously, the netizens discussions were saying that Mr. Quincey’s body is perfect. I have a feeling Mr. Roberts is going to show us all his body.”
“But, he’s never been this childish.”
“Then how do you explain what we see before us?”
The reporters located their photography vantage points and whispered amongst themselves. They were right, Eric wasn’t usually this childish. But, this was before Emma said one simple thing.
When she said that…
…she didn’t want to see him get devalued…
Sometimes, when life got too boring, bringing one’s wife out to play could increase the level of enjoyment. Especially when one could…
…teach a jerk a lesson.
Inside the change room, Emma looked at Eric’s naked upper-body. Her face involuntarily turned red, “I don’t want others to see it…”
“It’s OK, they can only look. From now on, they can merely drool!”
