NOVPUBChapter 1466: 663 What can I do_1 Chapter 1466: 663 What can I do_1 This was Bellona Capris’s first visit to the Rintos’ Manor.
She had known for a long time that the Rintos were wealthy, but she never imagined the extent of it.
Although Digby Hart was the richest man, most of his assets were immovable property and shares which couldn’t be liquefied easily.
Agave Rinto, however, was different.
He truly held control over Pethkids’ economy, with the Horse Field, casinos, and shipping…These businesses were extremely profitable; each of them was like Pethkids’ business card.
One could say that it wasn’t Agave who couldn’t live without Pethkids, but Pethkids who couldn’t live without him.
It was due to his deep roots in Pethkids that it isn’t so easy to impact him.
...
He had to be brought down in a slow and calculated manner, like boiling a frog in gradually heated water.
This man took the Rintos, a declining family with loopholes everywhere when he took over from Barton Rinto, and within a few years turned it into the massive presence it is today, almost a miracle.
This was enough to show that this young man wasn’t ordinary and possessed skill, strategy and tactics, and emotional intelligence; none of these could be lacking.
After that night, Agave Rinto didn’t actively contact her again.
This was a hunting game, and whoever took the first step would lose.
In the end, she couldn’t hold back and took the initiative to call Agave Rinto.
On the phone, the man’s attitude was aloof and casual, leaving Bellona Capris puzzled.
Over this past month, he had invited her to meals a few times, but hadn’t made further advances.
Bellona Capris had used all of her tricks, but this man still showed no further intentions.
Bellona Capris was feeling restless, couldn’t focus on anything.
She knew that her emotions had been affected by this man.
This was dangerous.
Finally, yesterday, an opportunity appeared.
Agave Rinto had fallen off his horse while riding.
Bellona Capris called to express her concern and offered to visit him.
This time, Agave Rinto did not object, and the doors of the Rintos’ Manor opened for her for the first time.
“Ms.
Capris, you’re finally here.
Master McKay has been waiting for you for a long time.” Josephine Rinto greeted her warmly.
Bellona Capris nodded politely and asked softly, “Is…
Master McKay…
alright?”
Josephine Rinto sighed, “He broke his arm, it will take a hundred days for a bone injury to heal.
Master McKay is really in pain.”
“Is it that serious?” Genuine concern was written all over her face.
“Yeah, Ms.
Capris, you should go and take a look.
When Master McKay was still unconscious yesterday from the anesthesia, he kept calling your name.
Master McKay is someone who holds everything inside and doesn’t express his feelings.
Ms.
Capris, you must be good to Master McKay in the future, he truly cares for you.”
Bellona Capris was a little surprised.
He called her name in his unconscious state?
This man was such a dark horse, wasn’t he?
“I’ll go and have a look.”
Upon seeing Bellona Capris enter Agave Rinto’s bedroom, Josephine Rinto raised her eyebrows and chuckled quietly.
A strange woman had come to the Rintos’ for the first time and stepped into Master McKay’s bedroom.
That gave the servants of the Rintos something to talk about in their free time.
They were all speculating whether this woman would become the future Madam Rinto.
Josephine Rinto coughed lightly, “You are quite brave to discuss Master McKay’s personal life privately.”
The servants quickly apologized for their behavior and quietly returned to their work.
At noon, Bellona Capris decided to have lunch at the Rintos’.
At the two-meter-long table were twenty-four dishes.
Josephine Rinto played the role of housekeeper, introducing at the side, “Master McKay had this bluefin tuna airlifted from abroad this morning because he knows you love seafood.
You should try it, it’s extremely fresh.”
“This one here is the Matsusaka beef, also known as the Queen of Beef.
To ensure that the meat quality doesn’t deteriorate during transport, they sent it over in a helicopter.”
Josephine Rinto sighed, “Master McKay really went to great lengths for you.”
Bellona Capris glanced at the steak on her plate, no bigger than her palm.
She knew about this type of beef, a small piece like this could afford a downpayment for a house in downtown Pethkids.
For the first time, Bellona Capris experienced the joy of being treated like a queen with all of life’s luxuries at her fingertips.
“Then Ms.
Capris, take your time to enjoy the food.
I’ll go bring Master McKay his meal.”
“I’ll do it…” Bellona Capris began to stand up as she spoke.
“How could we allow that?
You’re a guest.
Besides, Master McKay had specifically told me that you have a weak stomach and must eat properly.”
A faint smile played at the corner of Bellona Capris’s mouth.
He even knew about her gastric problem.
So his inaction over the past month was to make her take the initiative.
Men need to uphold their pride after all.
In that case, she would give him that.
Josephine Rinto put the meal tray heavily on the table with a “thud,” and irritably said, “Master McKay, I’ve been injured at work.
How do you plan to compensate me?”
