Rotten Twins: Making a CEO a Daddy novel Chapter 138

“What do you mean?” Justin looked at her with a heavy expression.

Lyla smiled. “Mr. Pattinson, in this world, it’s not like you can do anything you want just because you have money, and money can’t but everything either!”

“It’s not that they can’t be bought with money, but that you’re not using enough money. Five million. Take it and leave Alpine City!” Justin opened his mouth.

It seemed like he did not understand Lyla’s words. She felt like she was preaching to deaf ears.

“Mr. Pattinson, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now!” Lyla could not be bothered to say anything else and got up to leave.

“Stop!”

Lyla turned back to look at him.

Justin sneered. “You’re the woman with the biggest appetite I’ve ever seen. Spill it. How much do you want?”

Lyla’s eyes flashed. It seemed like he had concluded that she was someone who would do anything for money. Thinking about this, maybe Lyla should do as he wished.

“Mr. Pattinson, you don’t have to waste your time. I won’t leave. No matter how much you offer, it can’t compare to a god of wealth like Mark Pattinson!”

“Heh…” Justin smiled coldly. “You’re very smart, but you should know the truth. A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Be careful of what you eat, lest you invite disaster upon you!”

Lyla was the least afraid of threats. “Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Pattinson. I will pay attention!” Then, she turned around and left.

“Do you think Mark will stay by your side when he hears your words?” Lyla had just walked to the door when Justin’s leisurely voice sounded behind her.

The sound of a familiar conversation followed.

Lyla frowned and turned around, and saw a mobile phone in Justin’s hand. He had recorded their conversation earlier.

It seemed like he was indeed a tricky old man.

“How much do you think Mark will give you after hearing this?” Justin smiled, looking as if he had succeeded in his plot as if he could already see Mark driving them out of Alpine City.

Lyla, however, simply smiled. “I believe that when he hears this, he will love me even more!”

Then, without giving Justin a chance to speak, she turned and left.

Justin did not know where she had the confidence to say that, and even his beard trembled in anger. He immediately sent the recording to Mark...

……

After leaving, Lyla went straight home.

Justin had recorded their conversation. Since she did not accept his bribe, he would definitely send it to Mark.

She wondered what would happen when Mark listened to it.

Well, whatever.

Now that things had come to this point, there was nothing to worry about. As she said, if Mark misunderstood her because of this, then she would have nothing else to say.

When she went back, Hansel and Gretel were not home yet, so she turned off her phone and went to her room to sleep.

At night.

Lyla only woke up when Hansel and Gretel came back. She saw countless calls from Mark on her phone and frowned before calling back, but he had turned off his phone.

She frowned but did not think much about it, and walked out.

Lyla was chatting and watching TV with Gretel in the living room while Hansel cooked.

At that moment, the door was pushed open loudly and Mark appeared at the door. Gretel and Lyla turned to the door in unison and saw Mark standing there with a tense expression, and were stunned.

“Daddy, you’re back?” Gretel greeted Mark with a smile.

Mark glanced at Gretel before finally turning to Lyla. He was covered in a furious aura and his eyes were unspeakably ruthless. He walked over with large strides and grabbed Lyla, dragging her upstairs.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Lyla struggled, but she was no match for him. She was dragged straight to her room.

The door shut with a bang. Hansel walked out of the kitchen and looked at Gretel, and then upstairs. “What happened?”

Gretel shook her head and blinked, and explained, “Maybe Daddy couldn’t wait any longer…”

Hansel. “...”

In the room upstairs.

Mark pressed Lyla against the wall, pinning her with just one arm. His eyes when he looked at her was full of anger.

Lyla frowned. “Mark Pattinson, what’s up with you?”

“Why didn’t you answer the phone? Why was it turned off?” Mark asked in a low voice that sounded slightly hoarse.

Seeing him so angry, Lyla could roughly guess what was going on.

“I was sleeping!”

“Damn it!” Mark let out a low curse.

“You went to see him, didn’t you?”

Lyla knew who Mark was talking about and did not deny it. She nodded. “Yes!”

“What did you say to him?” Mark asked.

“It seems like you already know!” Lyla was calm. Was he so angry because he heard those words?

“Tell me!” Mark gritted his teeth. The lines on his face tensed, and his eyebrows were furrowed, seemingly harboring a thousand words yet unable to voice them.

“Okay!” Lyla nodded. “He did look for me. He said he would give me three to five million to make me leave!”

“Then?”

“I said I’m not leaving!”

“Go on!”

“I said no matter how much he gives, it can’t compare to a god of wealth like you!” After saying that, Lyla looked at Mark’s eyes, not knowing what kind of mood he was in.

“If that day comes, I won’t hide it from you!” Lyla said.

Looking at her, Lyla’s character could not be considered pleasing, and she was even stubborn enough to make people want to beat her up, but for some reason, Mark loved that part of her. The more he saw, the more he liked.

He even liked her rejection.

Seeing him look at her with a pair of suddenly flickering eyes, Lyla’s heart could not help but speed up.

“You…”

Lyla did not finish when Mark leaned over her lips and kissed her.

“Mmh, Mark…

“You…

“Mark...

Lyla wanted to say something, but it was all swallowed by Mark.

He kissed her but was unwilling for it to be just a kiss. In the end, he held her and rolled them both to the bed.

The more they kissed, the more intense it got. Then, when Mark finally wanted to undo her clothes, he was grabbed by Lyla.

“Didn’t you come here to interrogate me?” Lyla asked him. Looking at his expression, she had thought that he believed Justin’s words.

How did they end up like this?

Mark frowned at her. “I was worried that something happened to you because you went to meet him. I called you, but your phone was turned off. I almost went crazy but didn’t dare to startle Hansel and Gretel!”

Hearing his words, Lyla frowned. “I’m sorry. I went to sleep after coming back!”

“Now that I know you’re okay, I’m relieved. Promise me that you won’t go see them alone again. Whether it’s my dad or that woman, don’t see them!” Mark said to Lyla.

What if they really planned something? Mark did not want to take that risk.

Lyla did not know the seriousness of the matter, but looking at Mark’s expression, she could take a guess. She thought about it before saying, “If I don’t meet them, they’ll find a way for me to meet them. I might as well get it done and over with!”

“That’s true, but you can tell me. I will go with you!” Mark said.

“They’re looking for me because they don’t want you to know. If I call you, they’ll have nothing to say!”

“I don’t care. In any case, if they look for you again, you must tell me. Lyla, don’t underestimate them. They’re definitely not people you should mess with!” Mark looked at Lyla and said word by word.

Although he did not say it explicitly, it was as if he was hinting something to Lyla.

“They… will?” Lyla frowned.

Mark did not say anything, but his expression sank and he nodded heavily.

Lyla already understood what he meant.

She was not worried about herself, but she suddenly wondered what kind of life Mark lived before.
