Charlotte was George’s first wife and the mistress of the Townsend family. Therefore, he had to give her face.
Anita raised his glass and said with a smile, “Mrs. Townsend, my thanks to your husband and the Townsend family’s support for Dorodo’s city defense army over the years.
“You’re too kind,” Charlotte said excitedly, raising her glass to her mouth and finishing it in one gulp.
“I’m not being kind. I’m telling you the truth. Dorodo city defense soldiers are several notches better off because of your husband’s support. The quilts, clothes, and other living supplies are a great help to the city defense army.” Charlotte smiled ear to ear, and she looked at Anita with intense satisfaction.
George had invited the commanders-in-chief of the city defense army to their home for dinner before, but the previous commanders-in-chief had always looked like they were above them and spoke arrogantly.
Compared with the previous commanders-in-chief, Anita was undoubtedly friendlier and less unsympathetic.
“By the way, why didn’t I see George? Where did he go?” Anita asked.
Charlotte’s expression instantly stiffened at Anita’s words.
Amber quickly explained, “Well, Mr. George… A representative from Raphael City has just arrived to talk business with my husband. They’re on the second floor right now.”
“Oh, I see…” Anita nodded.
Nathalia standing nearby reminded promptly, “The strong hold giant crossbow that Mr. Townsend said is developed and produced by Raphael City.”
Anita’s eyes narrowed slightly at Nathalia’s reminder.
George had paid a deposit to Raphael City to buy stronghold giant crossbows and sell them to Dorodo’s city defense army. However, due to Anita’s refusal, there was no way George would be buying those stronghold giant crossbows, and he wanted the deposit returned.
Someone from Raphael City had come to Dorodo and George’s house. Then the thing they were going to talk about was most likely the stronghold giant crossbow.
Just then, there was suddenly a piercing sound of something breaking on the second floor.
