Chapter 30
Carlos suddenly had patience and replied to Edith: “Okay, I’ll wait”
When Edith received the text message, she felt motivated
Although she couldn’t earn 200 million dollars, there would always be other ways to enable her to negotiate
Edith thought, “Damn Simon, just you wait!”
The next day, Edith went to work as usual. She did not expect to receive a call from Robert in the evening, who asked her to go over to play Texas Hold’em poker.
She directly refused. However, Robert said that he wanted to help Edith get a few big orders. She suddenly felt very tempted.
Edith had just returned to the country, and she needed money for everything. She did not want to spend the money of the Lawson family, and her self- esteem did not allow her to take money from the Meyer family, so she was poor now.
Whenever she went out to meet clients, her clothes were all out–of–date.
Edith came to the private room of the bar on time. It was still the same lineup as last time.
When Robert saw her coming, he immediately beamed with joy and pulled her in. “It’s better to have an old partner, so I invited you. I didn’t have time to introduce them to you last time. Now is the time. You can’t complain about me anymore.”
Robert pointed to the 30–year–old man with a crew cut and a tough look in the middle, saying, “This is Aaron Gavlin, the chief of police in Caurtine. He is also the youngest and most handsome commissioner so far. If you have an accident and go to the police station, just tell them his name.”
“Uh…” Edith didn’t want to go to the police station.
“This fatty is Brian Green. The largest casino in Caurtine belongs to his family. He plays on the gray side. He is very cunning. Even Aaron can’t catch him.”
Brian rolled his eyes at Robert when he heard this. “Show some respect! No matter what, I’m older than you. He’s the youngest among us, and he’s a playboy better at enjoying himself than anyone else. He has a lot of connections, and he’s the youngest son of the Britton family, the real estate giant.”
“Haha, do I need you to introduce me? I’m famous,” Robert said and then asked Edith with a smile, “You must have known me, right?”
Edith felt awkward. She had been abroad before, and the only man she was familiar with was Johann. How could she have known that there were so many handsome, successful men in Caurtine?
She nodded with a dry smile, and her eyes involuntarily fell on the last man. He was obviously sitting at the same table, but he gave people a feeling that no one could get close to him and that it was dangerous to approach him.
He had a cold aura, seeming to be out of place.
Robert had introduced the other men, but what about this one?
“He…”
“He’s Carlos Lawson, the president of the Lawstom Group. You should have heard of him, right?”
“He… he’s Carlos Lawson?”
Edith’s eyes widened in shock. She covered her mouth and exclaimed in disbelief.
Seeing that she was so surprised, Robert laughed, “Are you scared? The Lawson family is a top family in Caurtine Very few people can compare to them.”
Edith felt like she was about to die. She thought, “I’m actually intimate with my husband’s uncle.”
Moreover, she had shouted at Carlos several times. Would he make things difficult for her in the future?

Mon, 3
Edith was so frightened that she trembled all over. For some reason, she bent down and said obediently, “Hello, Uncle Carlos.”
His words shocked everyone present.
Carlos raised his eyebrows hard, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
He thought, “What did she call me?
Uncle Carlos!
Am I so old?”
“What… what did you call him?” Robert picked his ear and asked in amazement.
“Uncle… Uncle Carlos…” Edith almost bit her tongue when she said this.
