Chapter 515 A Nuisance
What Zoie said was already unpleasant to hear.
Zoie had expected Irene to burst out, or at the very least, retort her sharply.
Unexpectedly, Irene was indeed angry but quickly composed herself. After giving them a cold glance, she just left as if nothing had happened.
Zoie's hands and feet turned cold. She froze there. The blood in her entire body seemed to stop flowing.
Irene did not say anything, but the disdain in her eyes made Zoie feel as small as an ant.
On what grounds?
The Wade Group is about to go bankrupt. Where does Irene get the confidence?
The other woman beside Zoie secretly pulled on her sleeves and asked in hushed tones, "Zoie, are you going to let her go just like that?’
Zoie shot her a cold stare and said, "Then, why don't you leave her behind and beat her up to help me vent my anger?"
The woman who spoke smiled awkwardly and retreated to the back, not daring to speak again.
Even though Irene had encountered Zoie, a difficult person, she still learned something from Zoie's words.
It was true that the Wade Group had not yet reached bankruptcy, but if things continued to go on like this, the outcome was already predetermined.
This had to stop now.
Irene immediately called for a taxi and gave the driver an address, asking him to drive her there as fast as possible.
The opportunity could not be missed. She could not give up any hope.
"Excuse me. I'm looking for Mr. Thornton." Irene was stopped by a few burly bodyguards at the entrance of the villa.
The lead bodyguard asked expressionlessly, "Do you have an appointment?"
If it weren't for the occasion, Irene would have wanted to swear.
There was no guest who had to make an appointment to visit the host. What kind of rule was that? It was simply absurd.
Irene took a deep breath and tried to remain as composed as possible. "I don't have an appointment, but Mr. Thornton should know me. Please inform him that a representative from the Wade Group is here to visit. I am confident that he will want to meet with me."
Irene chose not to reveal her name because she was uncertain whether Pierre would agree to see her.
However, without hesitation, the bodyguard replied, "I am sorry, but I cannot help you deliver the message."
Irene was incensed. He was merely a bodyguard, and yet she had condescended to speak to him. "Are you not concerned that I might be an important guest? Can you bear the responsibility if you get in the way of a good deal?"
The bodyguard calmly shook his head and explained, "You have misunderstood, Miss. Mr. Thornton is not here."
"Then why did you not tell me that earlier?" Irene never anticipated being delayed for such a prolonged period. This bodyguard was really an Idiot.
Thankfully, the bodyguard eventually disclosed Pierre's location. Otherwise, Irene would have exploded with fury.
Pierre was playing golf with his friends. It would take him at least twenty minutes to drive from the nearby stadium to the villa.
Irene had not even had any food all the time. Despite the discomfort in her stomach, she endured it and took a taxi to the golf course.
"Miss, Mr. Thornton has reserved the entire venue. Please follow me. I will escort you." The waiter emerged and guided Irene to Pierre after seeking his permission. His demeanor was exceedingly courteous.
Irene collected her thoughts and reminded herself of her purpose for coming here several times before accompanying the waiter to see Pierre.
