Chapter 1138
Elisa asked, “Are you… considering me your guardian angel?”
Remy replied without a hint of embarrassment, “I’ll pay for your services.”
Elisa chuckled and said, “In the past, I wasn’t familiar with your family. After meeting you, I intentionally asked my brother about your family and learned that you have the least self-defense skills among your brothers, which is why you always have bodyguards with you when you go out, right?”
“Mm. I was quite chubby as a child, and people who are overweight tend to avoid exercise. I also didn’t put much effort into practicing kung fu, so I ended up with the weakest skills among my brothers. As a result, I had no choice but to hire bodyguards.”
Among Remy and his nine brothers, he was the only one who had bodyguards accompanying him everywhere; the others would occasionally bring a few bodyguards for appearances.
Remy felt unsafe without his bodyguards.
Elisa started her car and said, “I may be a delicate lady, but I don’t travel with bodyguards. I only take a few along when I go shopping, so they can help me carry things.”
“Elisa, have you ever had any training?”
“Given my family’s background, I’ve had some self-defense training, but I lack real combat experience.”
Elisa wasn’t particularly well-regarded in Wiltspoon; she was known to be a bit feisty and rude. However, the Stones held a high status there, so no one dared to offend her. Even without a bodyguard, typical gangsters would keep their distance upon spotting her car.
Since her life was stable, she didn’t feel the need for bodyguards when going out.
The most flamboyant figure in Wiltspoon’s upper class was Zachary, but he primarily used bodyguards to fend off his pursuers.
“Wonder Woman, you’ll have to protect me in the future.”
Elisa burst into laughter and said, “I don’t—”
have real combat experience, so how can I protect you? Besides, I’ve only learned some basic punches and kicks, and I don’t remember the moves now.
“Remy, I suggest you find a woman who can fight to be your future wife, preferably a policewoman or something similar. She’ll be able to protect you if you run into danger on your dates.”
Remy laughed in response. “That’s not necessary. I’m just the least skilled among my brothers, but I can handle gangsters. If I meet a woman I like, I’ll protect her even if it means getting hurt myself.”
He glanced at Elisa and added, “I can take care of my woman.”
“I was just joking,” Elisa replied with a smile. “Have you met someone you like?”
“I’m not sure yet—I’m not certain if it’s love, but I really enjoy seeing her. I haven’t been in love before and lack experience, so I want to observe for a while.”
Elisa’s interest was piqued. “Which family is she from?”
“I can’t reveal that right now. Once I’m sure of my feelings and successfully ask her to be my girlfriend, I’ll definitely introduce you to each other.”
Elisa didn’t press him for details. “The woman you like must be remarkable. I’ve heard the Johnsons and the Yorks prioritize the same values. You’re very cautious about marriage since divorce and migration can complicate things. Those who migrate to become foreigners won’t be entitled to a share of the family property.”
“Exactly. The men in our family cherish their wives. I didn’t expect the Yorks to share this perspective.”
“Strong family values produce good men. There’s a reason your families are among the wealthiest in your cities.”
Elisa believed her family also had good values, but they couldn’t compare to the Yorks and the Johnsons. Many men in the Stones’ family had cheated after marriage, kept mistresses, and fathered multiple illegitimate children. Their families…
were frequently chaotic.
Elisa’s parents maintained a strong relationship. They held disdain for men who betrayed their families and marriages. Consequently, her mother prohibited her older brother from placing anyone who had cheated with a mistress and fathered illegitimate children in a significant role within the company.
