Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 269

“Fine. Come in. No matter what, I can’t leave my husband stranded outside. Besides, this is his house. There’s no reason not to open the door for him.”

The next second, the door opened and revealed a beautiful, charming middle-aged lady. Even though there were visible wrinkles on her face, there was no doubt she must have been a knockout in her younger days.

Her eyes glittered with emotion as she glanced at the unconscious Terrence, but when she turned to Casper, she was shocked to see how young he was. “Pity that you’re doing this sort of dirty work at your age,” she mumbled. “Wait here. I’ll get the money for you. There’s only twenty thousand left at home, though. That’s all I can give you.”

“You’ve misunderstood, Mrs. Clauder,” Casper hurriedly explained. “I really am Giselle’s friend, and all I want is to get Mr. Clauder home safe and sound. I’m not here to collect any debts.”

Upon hearing Giselle’s name, a tinge of anger appeared on Belinda Yach’s face. “How dare you bother Gigi. She’s my child! Come at me if you have the guts!”

With that, Belinda stepped forward and deftly kicked Casper above his waist. Taking advantage of the momentum, she went on and landed a chop to his neck.

Although her strikes seemed light, they were so powerful that even Casper almost couldn’t bear the brunt of the attack.

“You’ve got slick moves, Mrs. Clauder!” he exclaimed in utter shock.

No wonder she had the guts to open the door for me. Given her abilities, she wouldn’t have any problem taking down three or four ordinary guys!”

“Mrs. Clauder, you’ve truly gotten the wrong idea. My only intention is to get Mr. Clauder home,” Casper pleaded.

Belinda, on the other hand, was stunned when she saw Casper merely bent over slightly after taking her hits. “It looks like you’re pretty skillful too. You barely flinched after my two strikes,” she remarked, giving Casper another once-over. “Are you really Giselle’s friend?”

“Why would I lie to you? Ouch, this hurts so much…” Casper hissed as he pretended to be in pain.
