“Oh?
Does Mr. Maynard know more about it?”
Robert asked with a smile.
Cedrick was already smiling bitterly inside. With Robert’s attitude, was he really pretending not to know?
Was his Chinese really that bad?
He was speechless…
At the whole table, the only one who didn’t know anything was Nova.
He sighed, thinking Cedrick genuinely didn’t understand, and explained, “Originally, it was just a type of tea. Now, everyone uses that word to describe manipulative girls. But in my opinion, doesn’t the man bear more responsibility?
A man who can be so easily fooled by so–called ‘bitchy‘ tactics is the truly bad one. He’s clearly at fault too, but still pushes all the blame onto the girl…”
“Clap, clap, clap,” applause broke out at the coffee table.
It was Robert applauding.
“Just from those words, Mr. Carter, I can tell you’re a responsible man.
Robert praised, “You must be a man of integrity and responsibility in your coffee business as well. We came to the right place today.”
After speaking, he looked at Cedrick again. “Mr. Maynard, what do you think?
Didn’t Mr. Carter put it exceptionally well?”
Cedrick’s face was pale, and he didn’t dare to even look at Robert, just giving a perfunctory “Mm.”
A cold smile flashed in Robert’s eyes as he stood up, “Mr. Carter, please wrap up the coffee for
me then.”

Seeing he was about to leave, David quickly stood up to stop him, “Robert, we’re all acquaintances here, and it’s rare for us to get together. Why not stay for a meal?”
“David.”
Robert smiled, “I’m sorry, maybe some other time.”
David’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
Robert smiled, took Lucille’s hand, and went with Nova to pick out the coffee.
After buying the coffee, they came out to find Cedrick standing by their car.

Robert instinctively hid Lucille behind him, the usual half–smile on his face completely gone.
Cedrick was annoyed by how Robert always stood in front of Lucille and couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Radford, I’m here for Lucille.”
“Didn’t Lucille tell you that her lawyer would contact you if there’s anything?”
‘As of right now, Lucille is still my wife. I’m talking to my wife, and that’s my right!
No one can stop me!”
Cedrick was getting angry. “Including you, her so–called cousin!”
“Is that so?”
Robert retorted, “Cedrick, you seem to remember your rights quite clearly. Let’s not even talk about whether Lucille has the right to refuse to speak with you. Let me ask you, have you fulfilled your obligations as a husband?
For instance, the most basic loyalty?”
“I…” Cedrick was at a loss for words, standing on his toes to look behind Robert. “Lucille, come out. I need to talk to you.”
Lucille stepped out from behind Robert. It wasn’t that she had anything to say to Cedrick, but she couldn’t hide behind her brother forever and let him handle this mess of a marriage for her.
