The pot-bellied man couldn't believe his ears. He was surprised that Roderick was still very arrogant in front of Caleb Houston.

Was he out of his mind, or was he just tired of breathing?

He couldn't help but bark at Roderick, "Do you realize who is standing before you?! Mr. Houston of the Big Four in Glacia City? Are you out of your mind to make a threat in front of him?"

Roderick's gaze was on Caleb when the pot-bellied man said this. He noticed how confidence grew on Caleb's face as the man barked.

Then, Roderick turned to the pot-bellied man and said, "You shouldn't be in a haste, man. I will make sure you feed on the sand very soon. That's the only business I have with you."

Embarrassment washed over the man's face right away. He was supposed to fight for face immediately, but Roderick had already turned to Caleb.

"Choose one of the options I laid out for you, or do you need my help to make the best choice for you?"

    A quick silence took over the atmosphere as everyone turned to look in the direction from which the voice had come and saw Clara's icy glare.She looked so mad, like someone who had just lost a few bolts in her head.Not only the onlookers but also Kate and Roderick were surprised to see that it was really Clara.This made Roderick's face frown slightly as he wondered if he was going to run into the mad woman here.The nonsense she might have up her sleeve now was something Roderick didn't know about yet.Kate scoffed and said to Roderick, "It seems your ex-wife's mother-in-law is here to give you some trouble. You don't mind if I handle the situation on your behalf?"With an unconcerned look, Roderick answered her, "She doesn't want your attention. Besides, I have some antibiotic pills for her madness in my pocket. So, it wouldn't cost me a sweat to handle her."Kate never argued with Roderick about that. After all, he had spent a few years with the mad woman and must have known how

    Even though Felicia felt a slight relief at escaping the head-splitting question the interviewer had thrown at her, she still couldn't contain the pain of embarrassment."I told you, Mom. We only came here to embarrass ourselves, nothing else."Clara gave her daughter a sharp look as she complained. "Oh, so you can say that now? Why didn’t you thank me for forcing you to come down here when you were receiving all those flattering comments earlier?"Clara hated the fact that Felicia now wanted to shift the blame for their embarrassment onto her.She had barely shared the momentum of the nice attention she received a few moments ago with her, but now Felicia wanted to place the blame on her when things suddenly turned ugly.Felicia and her mother were about to clash as things had turned sour between them from the moment they arrived. Just then, they saw Roderick step out from the driver's side of the Ferrari LaFerrari."What?! Roderick is here too?!" Felicia was stunned and heartbroken

Exotic cars pulled into the venue as celebrities and big names arrived.The whole place was lively, with fans cheering at the arrival of their favorite celebrities and requesting pictures with them.The media were also around, interviewing every celebrity who came by.A few moments later, a black BMW suddenly drove in, and Felicia and her mother got out of the car. They looked beautiful.As the onlookers caught sight of them, they all rushed to admire them, especially Felicia."Welcome, Miss Santos!""OMG! I can't believe how your presence illuminated everywhere as soon as you arrived!"They were all making flattering comments, making Felicia blush.She had never wanted to attend such a gathering before, if not for her mother, who had forced her to come along.Millions of flattering comments were flying around when Clara nudged her daughter and whispered, "I told you you are still one of the most

    Roderick saw the surprise on Kate's face and said to her, "Let's get going. Time is already running out."Kate's face flushed with happiness immediately as she confirmed that it was really her man.She had always found him handsome, but he looked extraordinarily so this time.Roderick was dazzling!'Damn! This man is hot!' Kate couldn't help but scream in her mind.The question on her mind now was, where did Roderick get a LaFerrari?The fact that it would be a slap in the face to Christina, who had looked down on her man earlier, was what she enjoyed.At the moment, she didn't care how Roderick managed to get such an expensive car, as long as it served as a slap in the face to Christina, who had looked down on him, Kate was satisfied.Kate was about to call her secretary to come see her handsome man when she saw Christina step outside, looking stunned.Kate didn't know whether it was Roderick's handsomeness that had hijacked her mind or the sight of the sleek Ferrari LaFerrari.Chris

    The day passed quickly, and it was already evening the next day.Kate was seen stepping out of her room dressed in a very beautiful black dress, nice heels, jewelry, and carrying a fitted handbag. Her face was beaming with excitement as she strode to the sitting room.Christina, who was snacking away, caught sight of her boss as she appeared. She looked so stunning, more like an angel descended from heaven."Miss Bolton, you look so good," she complimented her genuinely.Upon hearing Christina's comment, Kate's smile widened beautifully, and she responded to her secretary."Thank you, Christie. It's all thanks to my man. He has a good eye to know what would look good on me."Roderick was the one who sent the package containing the outfit to her, as he wanted her to wear it to the gathering.Christina was confused upon hearing that. "What do you mean, Miss Bolton?"Kate was still blushing from the earlier compliment as she replied, "Yes, you heard me right. Mr. Holmes got me everything

    Roderick noticed the worried look on Kate's face and had to ask her, "Since Rex committed suicide, how do you think we can find out who this enemy is?""Sincerely, I haven't figured it out yet. I thought I had dealt with all my enemies in River City. I never knew there were still more than met the eye."Roderick sighed softly and asked her, "Do you think the Dawson family has anything to do with it?"This was a very straightforward question. However, answering it would require some thought."I will have to intensify my investigation back home before I can answer that."Just as Kate said that, Roderick remembered something and then said, "I remember you mentioned that you suspected some people were behind the goods seizure from the start?""Ehmm... Actually, I thought it was the Big Four pulling the strings."Roderick's face lit up slightly upon hearing that before a small grin appeared."The Big Four might have been trouble in the past, but I doubt they are plotting something like thi
