Hearing her words, the two men looked at each other.
"What do you mean?"
"Mrs. Granger is no ordinary woman. Haven't you heard of the infamous 'stock battle' in Rosaville City? It was Mrs. Granger who demolished her competitor all by herself!"
"That can't be, right?"
The two men were shocked. They said in unison, "She looks like an average woman..."
"Yes, she is also very beautiful and vivacious, isn't she?"
The two men scratched their heads awkwardly and replied, "It's our fault."
The woman smiled faintly and said, "Well, that's too courteous of you. We are just doing business and as a business partner, I'm simply giving you advice. Don't be deceived by her appearance. Whether you heed it or not, it doesn't affect me. By the way, how is the guy?"
One of them instantly came forward to report.
"As per your instructions, we have beaten the sh*t out of him!"
The woman staggered back, and the man behind her asked anxiously after he heard it.
"Why did you hit him so hard?"
The woman interrupted him with a cough and praised them, "Ahem! You did a good job! You will be paid handsomely for your hard work."
"Thank you, Madam. What should we do next?"
The woman pursed her lips and said, "If I'm not mistaken, they must be very concerned about the guy's condition. Why don't you play along and put them together? After that, we wait and see!"
Upon hearing that, the man who asked the question looked admiringly at her.
"You're really shrewd! Indeed, they have asked me multiple times about the guy just now. I ignored them and didn't reveal too much!"
The woman snorted as she spoke, "Well, my years of experience weren't in vain. If there are any problems afterward, you can contact my assistant! I trust there won't be anything for me to worry about?"
After that, the woman got up and left.
The man behind her quickly followed. When they were outside, the woman took off the mask and revealed her face.
It was Monique!
As for the man behind her, needless to say, was Richard!
Richard was a little worried and said, "Miss Monique, didn't you say before that you just wanted to improve relationships between Mr. Luther and Miss George? Now that they've beaten him so hard, if Mr. Luther..."
"What are you so worried about?"
Monique was displeased and added, "If Nelson was really so fragile, then it's best that I dump him now! What's more, as a person valued by me, he can't be that worthless!"
Richard apologised, "I'm sorry, Miss Monique. I was too worried."
Monique turned and smiled at Richard. She said, "I know you are close to him. But you have to understand that the both of you are working for me!"
Richard nodded and replied, "Yes!"
Meanwhile, in the mountains.
The two men were chatting after Monique had left. One of them whispered.
"Cody, do you think what she said just now was true? Back in those days, was the 'stock battle' really Mrs. Granger's doing?"
Cody thought for a while as he stroked his chin. "Jerry, I can't say for sure. We will see!"
"Well, most importantly, we have to make some money from this. Otherwise, we'd waste this chance to make a fortune!"
