A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Raymond naturally saw them as well. He and Veronica stopped at the same time.

Besides the car, a sharp-eyed person noticed them and walked up to them. Veronica broke out in a cold sweat. She was on guard.

Veronica was holding the shopping cart, and Raymond gently stoked her hand. She looked up in confusion and saw Raymond give her a comforting look.

The person who came was one of the lackeys. He stopped in front of Raymond and bowed respectfully.

"Hello, Mr. Cordova." That person stood up straight, and Veronica felt that the man was glancing at her.

Raymond looked indifferent. "How could you manage to find this place?"

"Mr. Cordova, you've always been unwilling to see us, so we can only resort to this."

Raymond remained calm. He took out the car key from his trousers pocket and handed it to Veronica. "Bring the things to the car first."

"What about you?" Veronica immediately asked with worry.

These people obviously came with ill intentions and did not look kind.

Raymond wore a faint smile and said gently, "Wait in the car first. I'll be back soon."

Veronica believed Raymond's words, as he looked calm and confident.

Then Veronica took the key he handed over. Without saying anything, she pushed the shopping cart toward the car.

Those people were waiting by the side of the car. They left when they saw Veronica coming over. Veronica passed by them with no fear, and she even stayed alert.

A burly bald man looked like a leader. His name was Craig Dudley. When Veronica passed by him, Craig stared at Veronica and nodded at her with a friendly smile. This made Veronica frown even more. Obviously, Veronica did not think that Craig was indeed friendly.

As they walked toward Raymond, Veronica still looked in that direction with concern. Fortunately, those people seemed friendly to Raymond. Only then did Veronica open the car and store the things in the shopping cart in the trunk.

Raymond was the tallest among those men, and he still stood out in front of everyone.

At the sight of Raymond, Craig seemed to have mixed feelings, and his eyes glistened. He reached out to Raymond. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Cordova. I am Craig Dudley."

Raymond looked down at Craig's hand with a scar on it. Raymond glanced at it, then stared at Craig, and said indifferently, "I know. I seem to have said that I don't want to see you."

Raymond sounded arrogant, and this infuriated one of Craig's lackeys. He pointed at Raymond's face angrily. "You bastard! Craig is..."

Before the lackey finished cursing, he was slapped in the face.

The lackey trembled as he looked at Craig, who had yet to retract his hand. Because the lackey was too scared, he stuttered, "Craig..."

"How dare you talk to Mr. Cordova like that?" Craig shouted.

The lackey covered his face and lowered his head in dissatisfaction. "Craig, I'm sorry."

"Not apologize to me, but to Mr. Cordova."

Although that lackey was unwilling, he still knelt in front of Raymond and said earnestly, "Mr. Cordova, I'm sorry. Please forgive me and don't punish me." Raymond didn't even bother to look at that lackey.

"Tell me, what brings you here?"

Craig kicked the lackey on the ground and stepped forward with a smile.

"Mr. Cordova, let's get to the point. Actually... I have a big business to work with you, Mr. Cordova."

"Well?"

"According to reliable sources, the ambassador of Wooddale, who was originally said to pay a visit in two days, will arrive at Peace City in secret tomorrow." "And then?" Raymond raised his eyebrows.

Craig lowered his head and smiled. He stroked the wrinkles on his forehead. "This time, the Wooddale ambassador came to Peace City. It isn't a simple visit. Recently, Wooddale has been very tense with its neighboring country. However, the Wooddale military lacked something, and Peace City is an important international trading city. Mr. Cordova, I think you know what I mean, right?"

It was gun-running.

Raymond chuckled. "Why do you think I will cooperate with you?"

Craig shrugged. "This is a big deal. Mr. Cordova, don't you want to make a profit? If we make it, what you can earn will be equal to at least one year of profit from the Cordova Group."

"But, still, I will not cooperate with you." Raymond said slowly, "You must have looked into me before you came to me. Although I have done many illegal things, I have a principle, that is, I will never do anything that will harm the interests of my homeland."

Craig looked Raymond up and down in shock. "Mr. Cordova, I didn't expect you to be patriotic."

"Are you done?" Raymond looked impatient.

Craig had inquired about Raymond and heard that he was patriotic, but Craig did not expect it to be true.

Given Raymond's insistence, Craig knew that no matter how he tried to persuade him, it would be useless, so Craig just gave up.

"If so, I won't force you, Mr. Cordova," Craig said frankly. He rolled his eyes. "But I have a request."

"A request?"

"Mr. Cordova, though you're patriotic, I'm profit-happy. If we can't be partners, I don't want to become your enemy in the future. After all..." Craig looked in the direction of the Ferrari passenger seat. "Ms. Luke is beautiful and has a fabulous figure, and she's courageous."

Raymond's face changed slightly. "As long as you do not break my rules, I will not interfere in whatever you want to do."

Craig grinned and showed his white teeth.

"Mr. Cordova, since you say so, I am relieved." Craig glanced at the car. "Ms. Luke is still waiting for you, Mr. Cordova. I won't disturb your date. See you."

With that, Craig led the group of people and left.

The lackey behind Craig complained in dissatisfaction, "Craig, Raymond is just a businessman. Why must you lay low to him?"

Craig scolded in a low voice, "You know nothing! On the surface, he is a businessman. Have you forgotten the family behind him? Raymond is the most powerful in the Cordova family. We can't afford to offend him."Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Passing through the silver Ferrari and seeing Veronica stare at him vigilantly, Craig nodded and smiled at her before leaving.

After they left, Veronica hurriedly got out of the car.
