Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 267 Is Alaric Trying to Intimidate Me?

"Mr. Vale, welcome." Ambrose led the way, taking Todd to the hotel arranged for him. Denny was already waiting outside the hotel.

As soon as Todd's car stopped, Denny hurriedly stepped forward to open the door for him and respectfully addressed him. However, Todd was particularly displeased with this form of address. "You call Ambrose Mr. Vale, and you call me Mr. Vale too. How am I supposed to know which master you are serving?"

Todd had always been arrogant and domineering. Denny could only respectfully lower his head and explain, "Sorry. Then I'll call you Mr. Todd. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, thatmakes it clearer." Todd grabbed Denny by the back of the neck and pulled him close to his face. "Wouldn't it have been better to do this from the start? Did I have to remind you?" "Sorry, it was my oversight." Denny, feeling the pressure from Todd's grip on his neck, was a bit breathless.

"Then make sure you think things through before you speak or act in the future. If you upset me again, I'll throw you to the sea." "Yes, Mr. Todd."

Denny kept his head down, and Todd sneered contemptuously before pushing him away. "Seeing you so pathetic annoys me. Only someone like Ambrose would value you. Birds of a feather!" Todd then strode into the hotel, and Bill, who was following him, rudely pushed Denny aside and walked in as well.

Denny clenched his fists in frustration. However, Ambrose gave him a look, signaling him to hold back. They both entered the hotel together.

In the hotel room, Ambrose respectfully asked, "This is the best presidential suite in all of Arizona. Do you find it satisfactory?"

"Not bad." Todd looked around the room, feeling somewhat satisfied.

"Todd, there's something I need to report to you." Seeing that Todd seemed to be in a better mood, Ambrose spoke up. "There seems to be an issue with the acquisition of the jewelry company." "An issue?" Todd was genuinely surprised. He wondered who would dare to obstruct his acquisition. "What issue?"

"Alaric is also interested in that jewelry company and has announced his intention to acquire it," Ambrose replied.

"Alaric?" Todd said with displeasure. "Before I came, Stuart reminded me that Arizona is Alaric's territory and that I should find an opportunity to visit him."

He continued, "I didn't expect that before I could visit him, he would come to me first. The jewelry company I have my eye on, he wants to compete for it. Does he really think Arizona belongs to him?" Todd had been spoiled since childhood, always getting what he wanted.

"Yes, you've shown interest first, but he intervened midway. It's clear he doesn't want the Vale family to enter the Arizona market. His intentions are malicious," Ambrose explained.

"Ambrose, calling you a scheming person isn't wrong. You just finished collaborating with Alaric andgained fame from his casino project, and now you want to report him. People like you are only fit to live in the shadows." Todd looked down on Ambrose in every way.

"Indeed, I just finished collaborating with him, but what I said was purely about the jewelry company," Ambrose explained.

"I'm not interested in what you think. Now that I'm in Arizona, I will acquire this jewelry company!" Todd leaned back on the sofa, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

"No matter where I am, I will get what I want. If I'm unhappy, no one else will be happy either," Todd asserted.

"Of course," Ambrose quickly said.

"Mr. Vale will get what he wants, but since this is Arizona, you should be cautious as you're new here." Bill spoke up, "Let's start with diplomacy. Invite Alaric to a meal and gauge his intentions. If he doesn't show us respect, then we take action."

"Alright." Todd said, "Bill, I'll leave it to you."

Bill turned and left without saying anything. After he left, only Ambrose and Todd remained in the room.

"After such a long flight, I'm tired and need to stretch my muscles." Todd instructed Ambrose, "Find me some hot chicks, ones with good stamina. I don't want them whining in pain at the slightest touch. It's annoying." "Okay," Ambrose said.

Todd was a lecherous scoundrel, unable to control his desires wherever he went, which was utterly disgusting.

Alaric was well aware that Todd would arrive in Arizona today. He felt that Todd's people would arrive shortly after Todd's plane landed.

"Mr. Knight, a middle-aged man named Bill Brant, one of Todd's people, is here to see you," a man reported.

"Not seeing him," Alaric said.

"Understood," the man replied.

Alaric was very busy and had no time for such trash..

So Bill waited downstairs at the company for nearly half a day but never got to see Alaric. When Bill returned to the hotel, Todd was in the room having sex with several women.

"Get out of my way!" Hearing that Bill had returned, Todd pushed the woman on the bed aside and walked out of the bedroom while dressing.

"How did it go, Bill?" Todd asked.

"Alaric is extremely arrogant. He made me wait all afternoon and didn't even show his face," Bill replied.

This was Arizona; if it were abroad, Bill would have lost his temper long ago.

"Is Alaric trying to show me who's boss?" Todd cursed, "Insolent!"

"As I said, start with diplomacy. If it comes to it, we can confront him. Go again, show our sincerity. If he still doesn't give us face, then it's on him," Bill suggested.

"I have to go personally?" Todd asked.

"Yes, go tomorrow," Bill said.

Although Todd was very reluctant, he finally agreed, "Fine, I'll give him one more chance."

Today, Stellan seemed distracted, her mind inexplicably occupied with Ambrose's words. In the afternoon, when Alaric came to pick her up, she quickly got into the car. "Todd came to Arizona today?" Hearing Stellan's first question, Alaric was surprised, "Why are you so interested in Todd?"

"He's your competitor. Of course, I need to know," Stellan answered.

Alaric just smiled. Seeing his smile, she asked, "What kind of attitude is that? You don't believe me?"

"How could I not know what you're thinking?" Alaric said, "Stay calm. I'll find out everything you want to know."

Hearing this, Stellan felt very reassured. She said, "Alright, when you get a chance to meet him, take me along. I want to see him too."
