Chapter 14 Russell, Protected by His Wife

There were many people standing inside the spacious store, and there were also many people gathering at the entrance.

Rylee had a vague sense that something was not right, and he asked again, "Mrs. Maddox? Which family does she belong to?"

Brent snorted, "Did you think you can afford to mess with Mr. Russell's wife?"

"M... Mr. Russell? Russell Maddox?" Rylee's face suddenly changed, and he turned around and gave Moriah's face a violent slap, causing her to fall to the ground.

Rylee kicked Moriah in the chest and cursed, "You bitch, how dare you instigate me to offend Russell? You want to kill me!"

Moriah was in unbearable pain from being kicked. "It hurts so much, honey, I didn't..."

Rylee kicked her on the shoulder again, "Get lost! Who the fuck is your honey!"

He turned to Zoey and forced a greasy smile, "Mrs. Maddox, I'm sorry, it was my fault. You shouldn't lower yourself to my level. I only got into trouble with you because of that bitch Moriah's instigation."

Zoey caressed her smooth pale pink nails and said, "I'm not that easy to be with."

Rylee's mouth twitched, Russell was indeed the king of the business world.

He offended Russell's woman today, and in the future, he will definitely have no way out in the business field.

"How can I vent then? As long as you tell me, I will do my best to accomplish it!"

Zoey remembered that Rylee had an office building on Long District road, although it was in a somewhat remote and less valuable location. However, after the New Year, a developer noticed that area and planned to demolish the building and construct a high-rise. As a result, the building was sold for three billion.

She spoke softly, "You had an office building in Long District, right?"

Rylee's eyes flickered, "You mean?"

"Two million, transfer it to me."

Rylee's mouth twitched, "Two, two million? I spent ten million when I built it!"

"Oh, I see!" Zoey curved her lips. "Alright then, I'll go back and have a good talk with Russell about what happened today."

"You, on the other hand, I agree, I agree," Rylee said, sweating profusely. "Wait for me to draft the contract..."

"Okay, at 11 o'clock in the morning, you bring the contract to the Maddox Group to sign. As for the two million, I will transfer it to your company account." Zoey looked at Brent, "Let's go."

The two of them walked to the door, and the onlookers automatically made way, creating a two-meter wide path.

Zoey stood still, turned back to Moriah with a smirk, and then walked away.

Moriah was frightened by that sly smile, and a chill ran down her spine.

Moriah noticed that Rylee was about to leave, so she grabbed his arm and said, "Honey..."

Rylee glanced at the time and it was already 9:50. He had to rush to the Maddox Group with the contract within an hour and ten minutes.

He forcefully pushed Moriah away and said, "You bitch, if you ever come looking for me again, I will kill you!"

Moriah stomped her feet in anger when she realized someone was taking pictures of her. She quickly put on her sunglasses and left.

The mall manager looked at the store manager and the saleswoman, "Both of you, get out of here immediately! You almost killed me!"

The store manager and the salesgirl were filled with regret. They never expected that an ordinary-looking woman would have such a powerful background. They truly offended a great figure!

***

The Maddox Group.

Shortly after Russell finished the meeting and returned to his office, Troy came to report.

"Mr. Russell, Mr. Velasquez of Velasquez Building Supply is requesting to see you."

Russell lifted his eyelids and said, "As far as I remember, I had no collaborative projects with Velasquez Building Supply."

"Yeah, we don't."

"Then, No."

Russell refused firmly.

Troy replied, "But he said it was Mrs. Maddox who asked him to come and get your signature."

Russell raised an eyebrow. "If you keep pausing like that, I’ll deduct one hundred thousand dollars from your salary next time."

Troy said, "I was wrong, I will bring the person in right now."

Soon, Rylee was led into the office by Troy.

He stood nervously in front of the solid wooden red table and handed the contract in his hand to Troy.

Troy brought it to Russell.

Russell looked at the title "transfer agreement" on the cover, raised an eyebrow slightly, and then he opened it to browse.

Did Zoey really spend two million to buy that building?

He got the inside information that the land would be demolished after the New Year, and it would become extremely valuable, with prices increasing by a hundredfold.

These two million will be at least two hundred billion.

Russell smirked, Zoey really had an eye for it.

However, how did she manage to close the deal with Rylee at such a cheap price?

He placed both hands on the wheelchair, lightly tapping the armrest with his fingertips, "How did she manage to buy this building?"

Rylee tugged at the corner of his mouth and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "It was my fault, going shopping with friends and offending Mrs. Maddox. In order to apologize to Mrs. Maddox, I promised that she could make demands. Mrs. Maddox then purchased this building for two million dollars."

Rylee's voice grew quieter as he noticed Russell's face growing darker.

At that moment, the phone on the table had a notification sound.

Russell glanced at his phone and saw that it was a message from Zoey.

"Honey, did you receive the wedding gift I sent you?"

Although this building is not valuable now, I have a feeling that it will be invaluable in the near future!

The sharpness between Russell's eyebrows gradually diminished, little by little becoming gentle.

He replied, "Received. I liked it very much, thank you."

What's the point of being polite! What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you.

"Up to you."

Watching the pleased smile appear on Russell's lips, Rylee believed that he was satisfied with the contract. He then spoke up, "Mr. Russell, if there are no issues with the transfer agreement, you can sign it."

Russell coldly glared at him, "Mr. Velasquez, next time you encounter my wife, remember to take a detour."

Rylee was a coward, "Yes, yes, I will definitely roll as far as possible."

Russell signed his name, and that was it.

After Troy saw Rylee off, he returned to the office.

Russell stood tall and elegant in front of the clean and bright floor-to-ceiling window.

He was 6 feet 5, and you couldn't tell how tall he was when he sat in a wheelchair on a regular day.

Now just standing there, it gives people an invisible sense of power, unconsciously making them submit.

Troy stood two meters behind him, "Mr. Russell, Rylee has left."

Russell glanced sideways and said, "Give me the surveillance footage of the mall."

"Yes," Troy asked, "Mrs. Maddox really has a good eye. She actually acquired that building for two million dollars, and it will multiply many times in the future."

Russell's lips curled slightly, "She certainly had an eye for it."

Troy inexplicably felt that Russell was praising himself.

The surveillance footage was quickly sent to Russell's computer.

When he saw Zoey getting angry because of Moriah's insult, his heart was moist.

The feeling of being protected and cared for is especially good.

He remembered the girl's soft voice, even though she was very scared, she held onto him and said, "My dear, don't be afraid, I'll protect you!"

Russell's lips slightly curled up, then gradually relaxed.

He pressed the intercom button and said, "Send the information about the woman who provoked Mrs. Maddox to Rylee's wife and expose her."

Troy, "Yes!"
