Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 690: Chapter 690: What Face Do You Need Anyway

In the future, if there is any issue, the Big Eight families will naturally not ignore it and will each do their part to help.

Today, the Sullivan Family just helped the Zhekova Family with a small favor; in the future, if the Sullivan Family goes against someone, not only will the Hamilton Family not ignore it, but even the Zhekova Family will remember Sullivan’s kindness and help as well.

Think about it, even if it’s not the entire Big Eight families joining together, just two of them working together to help the Sullivan family would be enough to make people shudder.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that the relationship between the Sullivan Family and the Hamilton Family was excellent, and the mutual love between Zander Hamilton and Mia Sullivan was exceptional.

Mia Sullivan is the precious daughter of the Sullivan family, who has been cherished like a pearl since childhood. After marrying Zander Hamilton, the Hamilton family also pampered Mia like their daughter, and Zander Hamilton was extremely devoted to Mia.

How could the Sullivan Family not be satisfied with this?

Adrian Zhekova wants to come after the Lopez Family, and although the Hamilton Family has no business dealings with the Lopez Family, the Sullivan Family does. Naturally, the Sullivan Family is willing to do this small favor for Adrian Zhekova on behalf of the Hamilton Family.

Although choosing Ling Yun seemed to be at a higher price, it appeared they suffered some loss.

But in reality, although Ling Yun is expensive, their product quality and reputation are indeed much greater than the Lopez Family’s, so choosing them doesn’t count as taking a loss.

Why the Sullivan Family would help was something that Richard Lopez naturally considered as well.

It’s just that, in the spur of the moment, he couldn’t help but blurt out those words before.

“Now I’ve truly witnessed it. People say that when there’s trouble, the Big Eight families band together like one. And now, not only are the Big Eight families banding together, but even their in-laws are getting involved.” Is this really acceptable?

Richard Lopez was so angry that his chest felt stifled: “If it were someone else’s family, I could just watch the excitement. It’s only when it happens to you that you realize how terrifying this power is.”

The assistant was somewhat surprised, did Richard Lopez know why Adrian Zhekova was targeting their company?

Richard Lopez said to the assistant, “You go out first.”

The assistant replied and then left Richard Lopez’s office.

“Let’s go,” Richard Lopez said to Edward Lopez.

Edward Lopez was startled, “Where to?”

“Where?” Richard Lopez said coldly, “Of course to Pingla to apologize to Adrian Zhekova!”

He knew the address of the family mansion, but he didn’t dare disturb the elders.

This is Adrian Zhekova’s doing, so naturally, they could only go to him.

Going to the elders for an apology would instead suggest using the elders to pressure Adrian Zhekova.

Not to mention whether the elders would listen to them or not, if Adrian Zhekova found out they bypassed him and went straight to the elders, wouldn’t he make things even worse for them?

Edward Lopez moved his lips and said, “I already apologized to Adrian Zhekova that night, and I even pleaded with him in front of so many people.”

“So what? If he doesn’t forgive you, he still doesn’t forgive you, does he?” Richard Lopez said angrily, “Since he hasn’t forgiven you, you’ll have to apologize again! You already apologized in front of so many people that night, it’s no big deal to apologize in front of the whole Pingla Group today.”

With that, Richard Lopez dragged Edward Lopez out with him.

Edward Lopez quickly said, “Dad… Dad, let me go first, I can walk by myself.”

Mrs. Lopez also persuaded, “You have to give your son some face. Dragging him like this, what will the people outside think when they see it? ”

Richard Lopez snapped, “He’s already ruined the company, and he still wants face?”

However, despite saying this, he let go of Edward Lopez’s collar and coldly said, “Keep up!”

Mrs. Lopez followed them as well.

She was afraid that Richard Lopez would lose his temper and give Edward Lopez a good beating.

At least with her around, she could try to stop it.

So, the three of them went to Pingla Group together.

However, the three of them encountered difficulties at Pingla Group.

As soon as they entered the main entrance, they were blocked by security. Although they were allowed inside the building, they couldn’t get past the front desk.

Richard Lopez could only swallow his pride and politely tell the front desk: “I’d like to see Adrian Zhekova, Mr. Zhekova.”

The front desk had already received instructions from Sheldon Rowland and knew Richard Lopez would come.

As for when he would arrive, Sheldon Rowland didn’t know and only told the front desk not to panic when they arrived. Just treat Richard Lopez as an ordinary visitor to Pingla and do the usual procedures.

Sign the required documents, register, and report to the front desk.

If they were looking for someone from another department, they would just need to sign a record and be let in.

But since they were looking for Adrian Zhekova, the front desk couldn’t let them in easily. Keeping Sheldon Rowland’s words in mind, they knew that Adrian Zhekova probably wanted to make things difficult for Richard Lopez.

So they put on a smile and said, “Hello, may I know who you are?”

Richard Lopez quickly replied, “I am Richard Lopez, the CEO of Wellingo Group, and I would like to see Mr. Zhekova.”

Who would have thought, upon hearing his esteemed name, the front desk didn’t even raise an eyebrow and asked, “Do you have an appointment?”

Richard Lopez endured and replied, “No, the matter came up suddenly, so I didn’t make an appointment before coming.”

The point is he wouldn’t have been able to make an appointment even if he wanted to, as he couldn’t contact either Adrian Zhekova or Sheldon Rowland.

The front desk nodded, maintaining the smile and said: “Please wait a moment, I will contact them first to see if the CEO is available.”

Mrs. Lopez waited patiently, feeling that Pingla Group’s attitude was too pompous.

But there was nothing to do, who made them so powerful? They could only tolerate it.

Before long, the front desk made an internal call: “Assistant Sheldon, Richard Lopez from Wellingo Group, Wellingo’s CEO, came over wanting to see the CEO.”

“Alright.” The front desk soon hung up and said with a smile, “Mr. Lopez, I’m sorry, the CEO is currently in a meeting. I can only ask the three of you to wait here. There are sofas over there where you can sit. After the CEO finishes the meeting, we’ll inform him of your arrival and then find out if he has time to meet you.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lopez knew that it was Adrian Zhekova’s doing, even if they had to wait, they could be asked to wait outside Adrian Zhekova’s office. There was no need to sit in the busy lobby where every passerby could see them and cause them to lose face.

Moreover, Adrian Zhekova still hadn’t given a clear answer on whether he would meet them, only saying that they would know after the meeting if he had time.

If Adrian Zhekova said he had no time, they would have waited in vain here.

Sheldon Rowland was Adrian Zhekova’s assistant and had control over his schedule. How could he not know whether Adrian Zhekova was free or not?

Even if he couldn’t be sure, what’s wrong with asking Adrian Zhekova during the meeting?

They insisted on waiting for Adrian Zhekova to finish the meeting and then confirm whether he had time to meet them afterwards. It was like a king meeting ordinary citizens – there was no need to be so dismissive!

Mrs. Lopez knew that this was caused by her son Edward, but she was still angry.

Adrian Zhekova was so petty, making such a big deal out of something so small, and holding such a grudge.
