Chapter 66 Adeline's Trap
Steffen's heart skipped a beat!
He would be screwed up! He should not have said so much!
So, he quickly replied, "No! Mr. Riley used to be rich. We bought many things in advance. We've prepaid in full for the Kobe beef for the next fifty years. General can eat it until it dies!"
Hearing the word "dies", General fiercely bared his teeth at him. Then, it continued to eat the beef.
Adeline glanced at Curtis and asked, "Is what he said true?"
Curtis nodded.
"So, you have no money now?"
Curtis calmly responded, "I'm much poorer than before."
"It means that General can eat the beef because of your previous glory."
Curtis nodded, "Yes."
"You feed your dog with the Kobe beef transported by aircraft. But our children can only live a normal life because of your current economic condition. Your children's life conditions will be inferior to that of your dog. Am I right?"
Curtis was speechless.
Steffen applauded Adeline in his heart, thinking she was clever.
Seeing Curtis not reply, Adeline couldn't help secretly laughing.
Did he think she was stupid? She would be a fool if she still believed he was poor.
However, it was not surprising. Mr. Riley used to be influential in Prodiff. He was not an idiot, so he must have prepared before stepping down.
Adeline didn't bother to expose his lie. Anyway, she did not hate money. It would be better if she did not need to lead a poor life.
She sat at the dining table, opened the breakfast brought by Steffen, and was stunned.
"It looks similar to what the maid cooked here before."
Steffen nodded, "It's her who cooked it. Mr. Riley thinks her cooking breakfast here will affect your rest, so he asked her to cook in my apartment. And I'll bring it over every day."
