Chapter 926: Tempt the Butler

Translator: Lonelytree 

When they arrived at Beale Castle Manor, apart from the two children, even Bruce and Zeng Yaozu started to play hard.

Fortunately, they did not forget their mission here. When they were done playing, they took out the guest list to study it. They would focus on the most important people on the list. If these people started to support Green Fresh, the others would follow.

The two also had confidence and trust in Green Fresh. They believed that no one could resist such delicious food. They could imagine the orders coming to their doors.

The butler, Robert, arranged everything for the gathering. On the second day after they arrived at the castle manor, the fruits and vegetables from China’s green fresh group arrived.

Looking at those fresh and lovely fruits and vegetables, even the butler was surprised. He almost drooled.

Bruce picked up a tomato and handed it to the butler. He smiled and said, “Mr. Butler, here, try it first. You will never forget this taste.”

The Butler looked at the red tomato. It was beautiful, fragrant, and very tempting. He wanted to reach out to take it, but he immediately thought of his identity. He had to remain calm and resist the temptation, so he pulled his hand back with difficulty, then he refused, “No. We’ll try it later with the rest of the staff.”

Bruce said with a laugh, “Mr. Butler, are you really not going to try it?” There was a hint of temptation in his tone. “This tomato is different from ordinary tomatoes. This kind of tomato is sweet and delicious. When you eat it, it also gives off a fragrance. The fragrance will make you feel refreshed and comfortable.”

The butler stared at the bright red tomato. He almost couldn’t move his eyes away. His heart was moved.

However, as the chief butler, he had to withstand any temptation. Otherwise, he would be easily taken advantage of.

After all, the butler of a large family often knew the family’s secrets. If he were tempted by the enemy and betrayed the family, he would have failed at his job.

Bruce saw that the Butler was rejecting the temptation with a serious face and thought it was funny. He deliberately took the tomato and waved it in front of him twice. Then, he opened his mouth and took a bite. He deliberately let out an exclamation, “Wow, this thing is so delicious.”

With this bite, the fragrance of the tomato spread out. The taste was even more tempting.

The Butler could hear the sound of the surrounding servants swallowing their saliva. He could not help but swallow his saliva as well. However, he still firmly refused, “No, let’s save it for when it’s time to eat!”

Bruce saw the butler’s strict refusal and did not continue to entice him. He finished the tomato in a few bites. He kept praising, “Ah, it’s really delicious. The taste is unforgettable no matter how long time I eat it.” Tomatoes could be eaten as a vegetable or a fruit. It had a unique taste, and there were many people who liked to eat it.

Xiao Lingyu looked at Bruce’s intentional expression and then at the housekeeper’s forbearing expression. She was quite impressed by the housekeeper’s endurance.

Xiao Lingyu smiled, “Butler, why don’t you try one? The taste of this tomato is indeed different from other tomatoes. It’s the same with other fruits and vegetables. You can all try it.”

After hearing Xiao Lingyu, the butler nodded and smiled, “Since Madam has said so, let’s try it.”

With that, he picked up a tomato from the box. He put it into his mouth and took a bite. Instantly, a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

This tomato was too delicious.

Bruce smiled and asked, “Butler, how is it? Am I right? The tomato tastes amazing, right?”
