The Poor Billionaire

Chapter 79 Desperate Beauties

The beautiful ladies left disappointedly after a while. Macie looked at Laila and advised seriously, "Laila,

you have to be very careful in the future. Horace is so rich that a lot of beautiful women would throw

themselves at him. He seems to be a good guy, but one can't be too careful with men. Do you have any

guarantee that he would disregard all the temptations and remain faithful to you forever? Most men find

it hard to resist women's temptation. It's even more difficult when the women are beautiful and very

seductive. Be very careful. Don't let anyone snatch him away from you."

This advice caused Laila to chuckle. She didn't believe in monitoring a man. She glanced at Horace

and said, "Macie, there's no need to get worked up over nothing. No one knows tomorrow. All I know is

that I am happy now. I want to live for the moment. Men are naturally polygamous. I'll stand by Horace

no matter what. If he likes another girl during our relationship, I would help him chase her. All I want is

his love. We could be in an open relationship. Nothing can put us asunder!"

After this statement, Laila smoothed Horace's collar like a submissive wife.

"You... You idiot!" Horace was touched by her words even though he would never have an affair. He

turned around and flicked his finger on her forehead.

"You are such a silly girl, Laila!" he commented dotingly. Macie stared at her with a disgusted and

confused expression.

'I can't believe Laila is saying such a thing. If I was in her shoes, would I allow Horace to date other

women?'

She was lost in thought. Naturally, she couldn't tolerate a cheating man. But because Horace was

wealthy, she found it hard to decide. It took a while before she finally came to her senses. 'Snap out of

it, Macie! You aren't dating Horace, nor do you have feelings for him. Why then are you getting worked

up? Laila's decision is really not your business!' She cautioned herself.

"Wow! Mr. Warren, you are so awesome. I'm surprised you got into a relationship within a short time.

Congratulations on winning over the heart of a beautiful girl. Now, I'm worried about how the other

ladies in this city would react to this."

Earlier that day, Edna had noticed that Laila and Horace were particularly close and seemed to have a

crush on each other. But she didn't expect that they would start a relationship so soon. She felt it would

take a while before they finally confessed their feelings for each other. Hazarding a guess, she

reasoned that something must have prompted them this afternoon.

'Did Laila have anything to do with the incident this afternoon? Was it because of her that Mr. Warren

got beaten up?' Edna thought in confusion. With squinted eyes, she looked at Laila and pondered, 'I

didn't think this ordinary girl is so dear to Mr. Warren! It seems he's very different from the normal rich

men. I'm surprised that he wants to date just one girl when he can have any girl in this city. Talk about

faithfulness and humility! I don't know if he would regret this in the future. Would his relationship be

affected when the going gets tough? Anyway, I should stop being pessimistic. No matter what happens,

I will support him. It's said that Marcus is one of the most ruthless and educated contestants for the

position of the next head of the Warren family. He keeps his eyes on the ball. If Mr. Warren doesn't

show his ability and talent, I'm afraid he wouldn't win against Marcus despite having the support of the

Dark Fist. Worse still, Marcus isn't the strongest contestant. There are still others!'

A trace of worry appeared in Edna's eyes as she imagined how tough the battle would be. Then a look

of fear was written on her face. 'Oh God! Every time I think of that powerful man, a cold shiver runs

down my spine. He's so scary. I really need to stop worrying. After all, I am just a mere nobody who

works for the Warren family. My worry won't help matters at all!'

Edna shook her head vigorously in a bid to get rid of the thoughts plaguing her mind.

Meanwhile, Laila's face had turned red like a rose flower after she heard Edna's statement.

The customers around finally understood why Horace had turned down the beauties. "No wonder this

rich man refused to give out his WeChat ID without batting an eyelid. It turns out that he already has a

gorgeous girlfriend. He's not only wealthy but also principled. He's so cool! How I wish I could be like

him. I would be able to hook up with such a beauty or even many beauties then!"

"Are you even listening to yourself? Can't you see how pure his girlfriend looks? I don't think she's

wayward like those other girls who want to date him for money. Her love for him is definitely genuine!" Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

One of the male diners made a countering opinion as he looked at Laila and studied her demeanor.

"Bro, how can you tell just by looking at her? You don't understand where I am coming from. Money

can buy happiness and even love. If you have money, girls would throw themselves at you. Look at me.

I am a handsome man. But because I'm not rich, girls don't spare me a glance!"

The chefs and waiters had been busy preparing Horace's order while all the diners chatted.

Edna collected the takeout bags from a waiter when it was ready. She then said to Horace, "Here you

go, Mr. Warren! In addition to the Kobe steaks, we added some side dishes. Please extend my

greetings to your mother. Have a wonderful dinner with her! It might interest you to know that, except

those associates, the other people of the Warren family here also wanted to visit Madam Potter in the

hospital. Unfortunately, Raul warned us not to do so. He said that she needs to rest and recuperate

peacefully. As a result, we can't visit her until she's discharged from the hospital. Please tell her we all

wish her a speedy recovery."

'Hmm. How many people work for the Warren family in Rinas?' This was the question that Macie badly

wanted to ask Edna at this moment. She only knew three wealthy people who were deferential to

Horace. Since Dario was the richest man in the city, she couldn't help thinking that all the others also

held Horace in high esteem. The power of the Warren family was the greatest mystery she wanted to

be solved now.

No one here could read minds. Hence, Macie didn't get any explanation. Horace took the takeout bags

from Edna at this time. "Thank you, Edna. I'll treat you to dinner someday!" he said with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Warren, I look forward to that day!" Edna chuckled. She then added, "Well, the other

subordinates would be jealous when they hear that you specially promised to treat me to dinner!"

"Ha-ha! I think they'll be jealous that I get to have dinner with you. But I don't give a damn about that.

Their envy doesn't change a thing."

With these words, Horace turned around and started making his way for the door. "Edna, I'm leaving

now. Bye!" he said without turning back.

A sea of eyes watched him as he walked. All the diners sighed in admiration, 'This young man is so

fucking rich and different. He treated everyone to dinner and he's leaving so humbly! I wish other rich

men can be like him!'

Just as Horace pulled the door, one of the diners stood up and shouted, "Thank you so much, sir!"

'What? Did this guy just call him sir? Do we have to be polite to him?' The other diners were confused

at first. Afterward, they shouted in unison, "Thank you so much, sir!"

To acknowledge their appreciation, Horace just raised his hand and waved. He then left the restaurant

with Laila and Macie.

A fashionable beauty suddenly tapped the waitress beside her and requested, "Excuse me, please I

need you to do me a favor. When that rich man comes here again, can you call me? My cellphone

number is..."

The restaurant became rowdy the next second. Other diners followed in her footsteps. They gave the

waiters close to them their cellphone numbers.
