#260 - Section 260
Seeing the surprise in Rhode's eyes, Jessibel explained in a low voice.
"I suppose."
Rhode nodded noncommittally. Now that the Frankish Kingdom was in the midst of civil strife, it was indeed the best time to strike.
Once the situation stabilized, it would be troublesome to make a move.
After all, it was still a kingdom, and its strength was not weaker than the Auston Kingdom.
Once the civil strife in the Frankish Kingdom ended, Jessibel would only suffer a pyrrhic victory if she tried to snatch chestnuts from the fire.
She might not even be able to break through the Frankish Kingdom even if she paid a huge price.
Not to mention annexing the entire territory of the Frankish Kingdom.
If she sent troops now, although there would be some risks, the gains would be great if she succeeded.
After Jessibel fell asleep, Rhode slowly got up and left.
It was getting late, and he had to return to the real world.
Crossing the space-time gate, he appeared in his familiar bedroom.
Looking at Tessa, who was still fast asleep, Rhode went to the kitchen, intending to make a hearty breakfast for Tessa and her daughter.
The aroma of breakfast filled the entire room, and Tessa and her daughter, who were fast asleep, slowly woke up.
Tessa walked into the living room and looked at Rhode, who was busy in the kitchen, and a feeling of indescribable warmth welled up in her heart.
This is the feeling of home.
Tessa walked into the kitchen, looked at Rhode, who was busy, and asked softly.
"Do you need my help?"
Although her cooking skills were also good, they were definitely inferior to Rhode's.
She really didn't know how this guy had developed such good cooking skills at such a young age.
Even if he were placed in those high-end hotels, he would be more than qualified to be a head chef.
A dozen minutes later, Rhode walked out of the kitchen with the prepared breakfast.
After eating breakfast, he first sent Tessa's daughter to school.
As for Tessa herself, she naturally stayed at home. Now she had returned to her old profession, being a full-time wife at home.
Of course, his full-time wife.
Only eat pancakes and don't suffer.
After giving birth to the child, Rhode stroked his chin, temporarily not knowing what to do.
Liang Shiqin was taking care of the potion matters, so he didn't need to pay too much attention to it.
After all, professional matters should be left to professional people.
He had just been to the school yesterday afternoon, so he didn't need to make another trip for the time being.
The leased office building had just started construction, and now he seemed to be really idle.
"After being busy for so long, suddenly being idle is really a bit uncomfortable."
Rhode shook his head, and the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
He took out his phone and glanced at it, and found that it was a message from Patty.
"The party is about to start, why haven't you arrived yet?"
Seeing the message, Rhode remembered that Tessa's supermodel best friend had indeed invited him to a swimsuit party a few days ago.
And it was a swimsuit party full of supermodels.
Although he remembered it very clearly at the time, he didn't have a good impression of this woman.
He always felt that this woman was secretly scheming something behind his back.
And every time they met, although she looked very enthusiastic, his intuition told him that this woman was full of malice towards him.
This was quite strange.
After all, he knew this woman because of Tessa. Before that, he had never even had any contact with this woman.
They had only met a few times, and the number of exchanges was very few.
He himself didn't know where this disgust came from.
With his charm, any woman who saw him wouldn't fall in love at first sight, but at least she wouldn't feel disgusted.
It wasn't that he was too confident in his appearance, but it was the most basic instinct of living beings.
His body, the pheromones that were inadvertently emitted, would affect all the opposite sex around him.
And the most direct feeling was that they would have a crush on him.
This special feeling generated by hormonal stimulation was like a person drinking water when thirsty, and eating when hungry.
They were all the most basic things.
And those who didn't understand would take this feeling as a crush.
Even if they could restrain this thought, at least they would have a certain affection for him.
Instead of having a good impression, they would be hostile to him.
Such a person, either had a psychological problem, or there was some reason that made her hostile to him.
But no matter which one it was, he had always been wary of such women.
There was no shortage of anything in this world, but there were plenty of women.
There were billions of women in the world, and even if one out of ten thousand was a top-quality woman, that was still an exaggerated number.
If he wanted a woman, what kind of woman couldn't he find?
There was no need to waste any energy on a woman who he knew hated him.
The top-quality beauties around him were enough for his daily consumption.
So, although he remembered the party, he didn't intend to attend.
He just didn't expect this woman to be so persistent, and even took the initiative to invite him to participate.
What kind of medicine is this woman selling in her gourd?
Rhode frowned, thinking that he had nothing to do anyway.
It was better to go for a stroll than to be idle.
Anyway, with his current strength, even if this woman really had any schemes against him, it was impossible to have any real impact on him.
Patty and Tessa were best friends, and the two women had a very close relationship.
Unless he made Tessa break off relations with Patty, otherwise it would be a problem sooner or later.
If he could solve this problem now, he would solve it easily.
There was no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.
He preferred a one-time solution.
Thinking of this, Rhode directly started the car, turned the car around and drove towards Patty's mansion villa.
Driving quickly all the way, he had already appeared at the entrance of the villa after a dozen minutes.
Looking at the luxury cars parked outside the villa, Rhode couldn't help but smack his tongue.
Any of these sports cars were no worse than his, and some were even limited-edition top luxury cars.
Sure enough, it was worthy of being a top supermodel's party.
Those who could be invited by Patty were at least top models with tens of millions of dollars.
The value of such a model in a year exceeded one million US dollars.
It didn't seem surprising to be able to drive such a luxury car.
Without some wealth and strength, it was estimated that they wouldn't even be qualified to know this kind of top model.
Although there were many unspoken rules in the modeling industry, most of the models who could be easily subjected to unspoken rules by others were just wild models at the bottom.
And the truly top-level models, even if they provided services, were specially serving those top wealthy businessmen and capital giants in the upper class.
Even if ordinary people had money, they might not have the opportunity to play with this kind of high-end goods.
After finding a place to park, Rhode walked to the door of the villa and rang the doorbell.
Click!
After a while, a burst of footsteps came from inside the villa.
The next second, the door of the villa was opened, and Patty, wearing a swimsuit and only draped in a white towel, walked out, wiping her hair.
Seeing Rhode standing at the door, a happy expression suddenly appeared on her face.
"I've been waiting for you for so long, I thought you wouldn't come today."
"This is a party specially held for you."
Patty looked at Rhode with charming eyes, and her seductive tone carried an unspeakable hint.
While speaking, she quietly approached Rhode and whispered in Rhode's ear.
"Today's party only has you as a man, you have to perform well later, maybe…"
The warm breath blew on his ear, looking at Patty with an ambiguous expression, Rhode seemed to hear the hint in her words.
Swimsuit party, all supermodels, and only him as a man.
This was no longer a hint, it was simply a blatant suggestion.
It was just a matter of directly telling him that this was a silver party specially prepared for him, and as for how many women he could win, it would depend on his charm and means.
Although it looked like a welfare game, Rhode keenly felt the atmosphere of conspiracy from it.
He didn't believe that this woman would be so kind and take the initiative to help him hunt for beauty.
And she even used her connections to help him expand his harem.
She wasn't a female Bodhisattva.
Being able to gather so many top supermodels, it was not necessary to think about it, she must have paid a lot of price.
Just the favors that she owed were unknown.
Was it possible to make such a big show just to make him happy and entertained?
Not to mention, this woman knew that his relationship with Tessa was special, and she still made such a move.
It was obvious that she was ill-intentioned.
Thinking of this woman's previous vigilance and hostility towards him, as well as the current deliberate trap, Rhode vaguely seemed to have grasped something in his heart.
However, he was not too sure in his heart.
After all, this woman didn't look like that kind of person no matter how you looked at her.
Although he knew there must be a problem, he was not so scared off by this small battle.
He directly and generously stretched out his hand and put it around Patty's slender waist.
Didn't she like acting?
Then he would play with this woman enough today.
He wanted to see how long this woman could pretend.
Being suddenly wrapped around the waist by Rhode, Patty, who was unprepared, was obviously startled.
Her stiff body conveyed an impulse of rejection inside and out.
But looking at Rhode who was nonchalant next to him, thinking of the things she had arranged today, Patty could only forcefully endure the disgust in her eyes and put on a charming smile on her face.
Although she was quite disgusted in her heart, she didn't know why the moment she got close to this guy, his body seemed to have reacted involuntarily.
