Revenge On My First Love novel Chapter 210

"You mean he'll become the head of the Riley family sooner or later, right?" asked Roman aggressively, exposing his ambition.

"That's not what I mean," the CEO of the hotel denied as he dared not to offend the Rileys.

"No. You mean it. You don't take me seriously, huh? Wait and see. Our Riley family will take revenge. Get ready."

Roman hung up the phone.

The CEO snorted.

Just because he behaved humbly when talking to Roman didn't mean he feared Roman.

In fact, Drake wouldn't sit by and watch Roman do evil deeds.

Probably, Roman would be the dead one by then.

Roman ordered his men to teach that hotel a lesson. Most of them gave him positive responses but didn't do as they were told.

In the beginning, Roman thought they had executed his command. Gradually, he knew the truth.

Roman went ballistic in his office. "What's wrong with you all? You don't take my words seriously, do you? Or you've never considered me as the company's president?"

Paul tried to calm him down. "Mr. Riley, please calm down. That hotel has been our partner for years. If we did so, we would not only annoy its management but also upset our other partners. You've just become the president. It's not a good idea for you to do it."

"What do you mean? Think the Riley Group only has that partner to work with? If we teach it a lesson, other partners will become our opponents. Do you mean that?"

"Mr. Riley, we shall cherish the chance to work with every partner as they make profits for us more or less. Besides, we can find other ways to teach its boss a lesson. You don't have to harm the mutual benefits."

"You look down on me, don't you? You are unhappy as Grandpa let me become the president. You are fired! If you don't obey me, get out!"

Many employees had predicted Roman would send Paul away. However, they didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Paul also didn't want to work for such an ignorant asshole but he acted like he respected Roman.

He bowed at Roman and said, "All right. As you wish, I'm leaving now."

"Think I cannot find a more capable assitant than you, huh?"

After Paul left, Roman's man was hired as his assistant.

The shareholders and senior executives knew what was going on but kept silent.

Knowing that Roman made a scene in the company and placed his henchman in Riley Group, Olivia was pleased.

"Good job, Roman. Our purpose is to make them believe you are a dandy who is good for nothing. Soon, they'll complain about you and unite together. Then we can take them down all."

"Got it, Mom."

After Paul left the company, he called Drake.

Drake wasn't surprised. "All right. Since you quit your job, find a place to take a vacation. It's better if you can find a girlfriend."

Paul had never thought of that. "Mr. Riley, I'd better stay in town. In case you need me..."

"We'll act to show them we cannot do anything. Then they'll be relieved and do things boldly."

Paul agreed with him.

"OK. Mr. Riley, if you need help, call me."

"Sure."

Drake knew Paul was loyal to him.

Right then, he was downstairs of the Skylane Group.

After ending the call, he was about to enter the building.

The driver of the flower store parked the car and walked in with a bouquet.

Drake stopped nearby and heard the driver ask the front desk, "Excuse me, Ma'am. Is there a lady named Sophia Lawson?"

"Yes. What's matter, please?"

"These are the flowers for her. Can you please inform her?"

"A moment, please. I'll check with Ms. Lawson's secretary."

The receptionist called Sophia's secretary first, and the latter transferred the call to Chloe.

After exchanging a few words, Chloe learned the flowers were from a man surnamed Riley.

"All right. I see."

The receptionist asked, "Shall I accept it on Ms. Lawson's behalf?"

"Of course."

After signing the parcel's receipt, the receptionist held the bouquet upstairs.

Drake entered the lobby.

He had been there before and was eye-catching.

Although the receptionists didn't see him often, they recognized him with a single glimpse.

Therefore, they believed the flowers were from him.

"Good day, Mr. Riley. How are you?"

Drake asked, "May I go upstairs?"

"Yes. Please."

The receptionists had heard Sophia's gossip and knew Drake was Sophia's rumored boyfriend. Therefore, there was no reason for them to stop him.

Chloe held the bouquet to Sophia and giggled, "Drake had made progress. He sent you flowers."

Sophia smiled at her. "Probably it wasn't sent by him."

"Stop snickering. Who else would it be besides him?"

Sophia took the bouquet over and saw a card. However, when she saw the signature, she looked annoyed.

"What's wrong?" Chloe was puzzled as she didn't read the card.

"As I said, it wasn't sent by Drake Riley."

Chloe strode toward her, looking shocked. She wondered who else had sent the flowers.

The signature was Roman's.

"Why did Roman Riley send you flowers?"

"What do you think?"

"He wants to pursue you to disgust Drake?"

"That's what a typical dandy does. He might not like me. Although he dislikes me, he wants to steal me from Drake as Drake is his opponent."

Chloe glanced at the flowers, which were indeed beautiful and costly. "What should we do with them?"

"Ask the cleaner to toss it into the trash can outside."

Chloe held the bouquet, heading for the door. Drake suddenly showed up. When Chloe was about to speak, Sophia's phone rang.

Subconsciously, Chloe believed the call was from Roman. Therefore, she stopped in her tracks.

"Hello, Miss Lawson. I heard you'd received my flowers."

Sophia narrowed her gaze. "Right. I did."

"Do you like them? My brother has known you for years. Has he ever sent you a bouquet?"

The office was too quiet, so Drake overheard what Roman said.

Chloe subconsciously looked at him.

"If not mistaken, he has never done so. Unlike me, Drake isn't romantic. I wonder how he managed to win your heart, my lady."

Chloe could tell the slight changes in Drake's eyes and believed Roman would be strangled if he were on the scene.
