Chapter 144: 0144 Little Bad Thing Defense Index Full Score_1 Chapter 144: 0144 Little Bad Thing Defense Index Full Score_1 He looked nothing like a person from the countryside, dressed even more exquisitely and stylishly than the two from the Wood Family.

The tailor-fitted, light grey shirt and black pants made him appear even taller, his body proportions resembling a model straight out of a comic book.

Especially that face, strikingly handsome with a hint of a playful and unrestrained charm.

Right now, he was only staring at Daniel Wood and the others, inexplicably causing Daniel to feel a chill down his spine.

“Who is he?”

Daniel was shocked to see such a character in the countryside, something he had never expected.

The other’s presence was overwhelming, equal to any big shot Daniel had ever met.

Daisy was also stunned.

She was stunned because of his perfect face, which seemed to crash right into her heart.

So much so that she felt her heart pounding furiously, beating very fast.

Unfortunately, Daniel hesitated for a second before starting the car and driving off, not recognizing the man, simply treating him as a sudden stranger.

As they brushed past each other, Daisy actually felt an impulse to tell Daniel to stop the car; she wanted to get that man’s phone number.

Unfortunately, he only glanced at them indifferently. When Daisy, full of expectation, turned to look at him through the car window, the man had already turned around and was walking straight toward Ellen Young’s house.

Does he know my second sister?

With a faint regret, Daniel’s car drove farther and farther away.

Ellen saw Daniel leaving but didn’t expect a second visitor to arrive.

Consequently, when she saw Ruffy through the hedge gate, she asked, “What are you here for this time?”

The little black dog outside became alert, standing up, ready to scare Ruffy just like before.

Ruffy looked at the little black dog with interest, “Did you buy it or pick it up?”

Seeing the look in this man’s eyes, the little black dog felt inexplicably frightened, stood up, backed up two steps, wagged its tail, and decided to act as if it didn’t see anything.

“It came to my doorstep.”

Ellen only looked at Ruffy, “So, why are you here?”

Ruffy looked back at her, “Don’t you know? Oh, I forgot, it was a last-minute decision, probably didn’t tell you yet. My dad’s business is partnering with the authorities to build a special signal base in this city. They chose the central location for the signal tower over there—”

Ruffy pointed toward the mountaintop, “So they’re going to start demolishing around Haran Village, and I’m in charge of the on-site inspection and supervision.”

Ellen: “…”

She didn’t care about Taylor’s partnership with the authorities; what she heard sounded like a pretext. To build a signal base doesn’t require such a fuss; probably something else was going on.

Her new technology could work with Taylor’s business in special ways, naturally keeping it secret from others.

She just hadn’t expected Taylor to boldly send someone so unreliable to supervise.

Seeing the skepticism in Ellen’s eyes, Ruffy clicked his tongue, feeling a bit hurt, “Why do you look at me like that? I’m already 28. I have to inherit my father’s legacy eventually. Do you really think I do nothing but hang around aimlessly all day?”

Ellen: “Really? I couldn’t tell.”

Ruffy: “…”

Since Ellen spoke her mind, she didn’t bother with it anymore, turning back into the house. Ruffy took two steps ahead, and the little black dog whined twice before retreating back into its nest.

Ruffy asked from behind her, “I have to stay here for quite a while, can I mooch meals off you? I’ll pay and help out.”

He was even willing to do manual labor.

Ellen: “No.”

Ruffy: “…”

The little rascal is on full defense.
