Chapter 1041
"What about the baby? Is he hurt?" Alexia craned her neck ahead and looked at Elise's belly nervously.
Elise placed her hand on her belly and shook her head, smiling. "He's fine, don't worry."
Just then, someone knocked on the window.
Rylantha was standing outside, a big, dumb grin curling her lips. "Oh, my. It's you. Oops, sorry that I took your spot. Didn't know it was you, Anastasia. I didn't mean to do it."
Elise shot her an icy look. Didn't mean to do it, huh? I was halfway in the spot, and you still took it anyway. Didn't mean it, my foot!
Raymond had been following Elise all the way. Noticing Rylantha's attempt to start a fight, he got out of the car and argued, "Don't you think that's a bit rude, Miss Abbott?"
"Shut it, cur. Your master hasn't even spoken yet. Know your place. I got the spot because I have the skills. Besides, haven't you heard of 'you snooze, you lose?'" Rylantha saw Raymond back at the beach. She knew he was Alexander's underling, and she would afford a servant no respect.
Raymond's face darkened slightly. He then looked at Elise respectfully, asking her what to do. Initially, Elise hadn't wanted to make a scene since they were here for fun. However, Rylantha almost hurt Irvin and Alexia, and now she was talking to Raymond like he was a slave. If she took this quietly, she would be nothing but a coward. So, Elise changed her position and rested her elbow on the window, cupping her chin in her hand. "Didn't you hear her, Raymond? The spot belongs to anyone powerful enough to take it."
The man stared at her in confusion for a while before a sudden realization struck him. He straightened his back and darted over to Rylantha. Then, he pulled his sleeves up and showed his muscles.
"W-What do you want?" In the face of someone of Raymond's size, Rylantha shrank on instinct.
Maverick got out of the car just in time to see this confrontation and quickly pulled Rylantha into his arms. Angrily, he berated, "I can't believe Alexander's underlings would go after a woman!" Come at me if you're a man. Or that was what Maverick would have said had Raymond not looked like he could crush Maverick in a moment. Ultimately, Maverick kept his mouth shut.
Raymond rolled his eyes and ignored them. He approached the convertible and leaned over to place both hands on the hood. He crouched a little and pushed the car back inch by inch, forcing it to leave the parking spot.
Rylantha and Maverick stared in shock. They were sure the handbrake was pulled up, yet Raymond was pushing the car easily all by himself. And to their horror, Raymond shoved the vehicle over the safety rail. It dropped down the cliff like a rock and crashed into a pile of boulders. Then, a deafening boom pierced the air—the car had exploded!
Rylantha shivered and snapped out of it. Furious, she roared at Elise, "Are you mad, Anastasia?! That's a six-figure limited edition! It's just one parking spot! That was overkill!"
