I Inherited Billions

Chapter 90

She was not loud but it was enough for me to hear her.

My face darkened immediately. I did not expect that my good intentions would get a response like that.

Chris heard it as well and he quickly smoothed things over. “Um, since everyone is here, why don’t I order some alcohol?”

After he said that, he waved at the attendant from one side.

Soon, the alcohol was brought here so Chris and I started drinking. On one side, Natasha started chatting with Tara softly. However, even though their voices were soft, I could hear them loud and clear.

“Tara, how could you do that? I was kind enough to introduce you to him. Even though you don’t want to know him, you can’t say something so rude, right?”

“So what? Isn’t he just a garbage collector? So what if I offended him?” Tara said indifferently. After she said that, she glanced at me in disdain.

“Oh, you. Do you know you’ve gotten into huge trouble? Didn’t you ask me to get you into Stamen Group? You have no hope now. Freddie was the one who arranged for Chris and me to get inside,” Natasha said, feeling resentful that Tara was being such a disappointment.

“What? Freddie?” Tara widened her eyes in disbelief. “How is that possible? Isn’t he just a garbage collector? I saw him at the field in school last time.”

“Life has its ups and downs, don’t you know? Freddie doesn’t lack money now. Plus, let me tell you a huge secret. The reason Roman could come to our school last night was because of Freddie. He’s Freddie’s good friend but please don’t tell anyone this.”

“Gosh, does this mean that Freddie is super amazing now? What kind of person could be good friends with Roman?” Tara was astonished and her eyes were filled with shock.

“I told you you’re in trouble. Initially, I wanted to introduce you to him so that you can become his girlfriend. You’re so gorgeous and you can barely be a match with him, but you’re unwilling. He has a girlfriend now and it’s already too late for you.”

“Wh…Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Tara looked at Natasha and her eyes were filled with remorse.

“You’re the unwilling one so who can you blame? Even if you can’t be his girlfriend, you can be a friend of his. However, you insisted on pretending to be noble and virtuous. What do you know? You’ve completely offended him now.”

“Stop it, I regret this so much.”

After she said that, Tara grabbed her glass and sat next to me. Then, she grinned and said, “Freddie, I’m so sorry. I mistook you for the wrong person just now and I didn’t mean to look down on you. Please don’t be mad.”

Tara rambled on, seemingly wanting to change my impression of her in my heart. However, how would I not know what she was thinking?

“Mistook me for someone else?” I chuckled. “You didn’t, I am indeed Freddie the garbage collector.”

“You…”

Tara was speechless after I retorted her. After a while, she stammered, “Freddie, you don’t have to do that to me. I mean you no harm. Let’s be friends.”

After she said that, she reached out her hand in a friendly manner.

However, I did not respond to her this time.

I was the kind of person who would return kindness tenfold.

Since she looked down on me, then she should not expect me to be kind to her.

I looked at the hand she reached out and said disdainfully, “I’m sorry, I have high standards for people who want to be my friends. I don’t think you have the qualification to become my friend.”

Tara’s expression became unpleasant but she continued, “It’s fine. I’m fine as long as I can get to know you.”

“If that’s the case, are you saying you want to be my friend with benefit?” I looked at her up and down and said in contempt.

Tara was pretty gorgeous. Even though she was not as good-looking as Lacey, she was on the same level as Nadia. She was the kind who would have a lot of pursuers in school.

“Freddie, you… you’re too much!” Tara was enraged by me, she looked shy and mad at the same time.

“I’m too much? Weren’t you the one who approached me? Isn’t this what you mean? Don’t worry, I’m pretty nice to my friends with benefits. Ten thousand a pop, what do you think?”

After I said that, I reached out my hand to lift her chin frivolously.

When Chris and Natasha saw me acting so domineeringly, they were stunned. They did not know what to do as they stood at one side.

At this moment, a voice said from behind me.

“Tara, are you that tasteless? Even if you can’t find a boyfriend, you can’t just make do with a parvenu, right?”

I turned around when I heard that voice. Then, I saw that the person who spoke was Young Master Logan and Young Master Zane.

They had come behind me with their glasses unbeknownst to me.

“I’m flirting here, what does it have to do with you? Get lost!” I snapped rudely at the two.

However, they were not affected at all. They said with a grin, “Tara, I should tell you not to get with Freddie. This guy is a complete parvenu. Even though he had some money from his house being demolished and relocated, he’s still a poor loser in his bones. Are you in such a dire strait that you want to sleep with someone like him? Aren’t you worried that you’ll get his stench on you? If you really don’t have a choice, I can force myself to take you with me.”

Terry swirled the content of his glass, chuckling as he said.

When I heard what he said, I knew he had misunderstood. He thought I was flirting with Tara.

Little did he know, Tara was the one who flirted with me first.

“It’s none of your business who I like,” Tara said rudely.

Terry stopped swirling his glass and his face darkened. “What an adorable pair of adulterous swine. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, then let’s settle our new and old debts together.”

“Yes, let’s do that.” Young Master Zane chimed in from one side as well.

“Why? So you want to fight?” Chris pulled Natasha behind him and looked at the two cautiously.

“No, no, no.” Terry shook his head. “How can you call this a fight? It should be called us beating you up.”

After that, he clapped his hands.

In an instant, countless people gathered behind them. From a glance, there were about seven to eight people.

I picked up two beer bottles from the table, kept one for myself, and handed one to Chris. Then, I whispered to him, “Didn’t you want to vent your frustration in the bar? Here’s your chance. Don’t go easy on them.”

When Young Master Zane saw what I did, he burst into laughter. “Freddie, you’re just a coward and you dare to fight me? I’ll let you hit my head right now, do you have the guts to do so?”

After saying that, he actually reached his head over.

When the others saw this, they started laughing as well. It seemed that they all thought I did not have the guts to do that.

However, in the next second, they could not laugh anymore.

It was because I lifted the bottle and smashed it hard against Young Master Zane’s head.

The beer bottle smashed into pieces after a loud sound. The beer and fresh blood flowed down from Young Master Zane’s head after mixing together.

Young Master Zane let out a muffled grunt and fell to the ground before passing out.

It happened too fast and everyone was stunned. They stood where they were and they were dumbstruck.

A few seconds later, Terry came back to his senses and roared, “Go!”

Then, they grabbed their weapons and started rushing toward me.

There were six of them and there were only two of us. So, it was obvious that we were at a disadvantage.

However, I was not scared at all. I lifted half of the beer bottle in my hand and stabbed Terry in his stomach.

In the next second, he widened his eyes at me in pain before collapsing to the ground.

The sudden scene shocked everyone in the room.

The thugs who were saying that they wanted to teach me a lesson were all behaving now. They threw their weapons to the floor and ran away.

The customers inside ran out immediately when they saw that there was a fight.

So, only a few of us were left in the center of the bar after a short while.

Chris held the beer bottle and walked over tremblingly. He said in a shaky voice, “Freddie, d…did you kill him?”

After he said that, Natasha and Tara looked at me with a look of shock in their eyes.

There were surprise, fear, and also a hint of admiration in their eyes.

“No, they just passed out,” I replied coldly.

Even though I was extremely mad, I knew I should control myself. Both Young Master Zane and Young Master Logan would not die.

“Freddie, w…why are you so savage today? You’re not like this normally.” Chris looked at me in surprise.

“Damn, if I’m not savage, do you think you can defeat them?” I said speechlessly.

“Y…You’re right,” Chris smiled in embarrassment and touched his head.
