1762 Words
"What!?" Kian Jones's words were shocking, and everyone in the private room was stunned. Especially Bethany McKenzie, she stared at Kian Jones and scolded, "Kian Jones, you're drunk, stop talking nonsense!" "I'm not talking nonsense." Kian Jones shook the glass in his hand and squinted at Isidore Richmond, "No wonder I felt familiar as soon as I entered earlier. I've been to Brown's family before and had the privilege of meeting you." He sneered, "The useless son-in-law of Brown's family, living worse than a dog! No one in Brown's family, not even the housekeeper, looks up to you! If it wasn't for Colton Brown's dying instructions, you wouldn't even have the qualification to be a son-in-law, right? Marrying Ariah Brown, the second daughter of Brown's family, am I right?" "You're right." Isidore Richmond's expression was calm, "But I divorced Ariah Brown this morning, and now I have no connection with Brown's family." "Is this true!?" Bethany McKenzie opened her mouth but couldn't say anything, looking at Hayley Waters and then at Isidore Richmond. She originally thought that Isidore Richmond and Hayley Waters were a good match, but now she felt uncomfortable. Hayley was her good friend, a brilliant student at Harvard University! How could she be with a divorced son-in-law? And dressed so poorly, it's really degrading! "You divorced this morning?" Kian Jones burst into anger and laughed sarcastically, "You can even say such words! A useless freeloader, now divorced, still wants to harm Hayley! Have some self-respect and get out of here!" "Enough!" Hayley Waters interrupted him, coldly saying, "Kian Jones! Who gave you the right to make decisions for me?" "Hayley, I'm doing this for your own good." Kian Jones hurriedly said, "He doesn't want anything, he's just a waste! He... " "I know better than you." Hayley Waters lightly laughed, "Even if he's divorced, so what?" Everyone in the room was stunned. "You!" Kian Jones was about to explode with frustration. He had already said so much, why wouldn't Hayley listen to him? What kind of love potion did this guy give Hayley! "Hayley, Kian Jones is also doing this for your own good." A former classmate couldn't help but speak, "Look at Kian Jones, he's already a vice general manager, with a car and a house, a bright future! Are you really going to marry someone who's been divorced? And look at how shabby he's dressed, it's really cheap!" "If that's what you want to say, then let's stop here." Hayley Waters's face was displeased, "I'm just here to catch up with my classmates. You continue with the meal, I'm leaving." She turned her head and softly said to Isidore Richmond, "Let's go, I don't want to waste time with them." "Sure, I'll follow your lead." Isidore Richmond smiled gently. Hayley Waters held Isidore Richmond's hand, feeling a bit guilty. If it weren't for her, Isidore Richmond wouldn't have come along and let her classmates ridicule him like this! Isidore Richmond didn't mind though. What these people said was true. As a divorced person, he had suffered humiliation in Brown's family, and Hayley Waters could still look at him, even having an intimate relationship. Every time he thought about it, he felt like he was dreaming. To be favored by such a perfect woman, he couldn't even dare to imagine it! He squeezed Hayley Waters's hand and smiled at the other people with complicated expressions, then turned and walked outside. Seeing their interactions, Kian Jones almost exploded with anger. Hayley Waters, this foolish woman, what on earth is she thinking! "I'm sorry, Isidore Richmond, it's all my fault..." As they walked out of the private room, Hayley Waters whispered. "It's okay, what they said is indeed not wrong. I'm just an ordinary loser, able to be with a heavenly goddess like you, any man would feel unbalanced in his heart." Isidore Richmond scratched his head, feeling embarrassed. "Heh..." Hayley Waters burst into laughter like silver bells, coquettishly saying, "Then later, you can be this heavenly goddess's driver and take me back." "Uh... okay." Isidore Richmond nodded. Today, Hayley Waters had just experienced the pain of losing her virginity, so she should rest well. They still had a long future ahead, plenty of time for tenderness. It would be better to quickly buy a house, renovate their love nest, and then bring her over. Isidore Richmond took the car key, opened the car door, and got in. But it had been a while since he had driven, and he was a bit rusty, not to mention the fact that a Ferrari was different from an ordinary sedan. Just as he started the car, he accidentally hit the car next to him. "Cough, my mistake." Isidore Richmond scratched his head, looking embarrassed. "Heh... see if there's a phone in the other person's car, make a call and arrange for the car to be repaired." Hayley Waters giggled, not taking it seriously at all. Isidore Richmond smiled helplessly, got out of the car. Being with Hayley Waters, even if they hit a car, he was still relaxed and happy. During the five years of his marriage to Ariah Brown, even if he accidentally broke a bowl, he would be scolded and criticized for three days by Ariah Brown! Inside the private room, the atmosphere became tense. Kian Jones's face turned pale and he didn't say a word. "Let's continue eating, drinking..." One classmate said dryly. "Forget it! I'm really not in the mood today, let's drink another day." Kian Jones gritted his teeth. "Well, then let's forget it..." Kian Jones spoke, and the others didn't want to stay any longer. "Limos, you haven't drunk, drive my car." Kian Jones stood up and took out the car key from his pocket, handing it over, "Bethany, where do you live? I'll take you." "I'll just take a taxi." Bethany McKenzie waved her hand to decline."That's not possible!" Kian Jones shook his head. "It's not like we don't have a car! If you guys don't have one, just ride in my car. I'll take you back first." Bethany McKenzie is quite pretty, but next to Hayley Waters, she pales in comparison. Now that Hayley Waters is blinded and following a useless person, Kian Jones feels dissatisfied. If he can't have Hayley Waters tonight, then he'll take care of Bethany McKenzie instead! He has a plan: he'll have Mason Kirk take Bethany McKenzie to the hotel, while he pretends to have forgotten his house keys and gets off with them, then he'll book another room. After that, he'll go to Bethany McKenzie's room and say he's not feeling well and wants to chat. With her kindness, she definitely won't refuse. Once it's late at night, he'll find an excuse to stay. With these thoughts in mind, Kian Jones's smile returned to his face. "Wow, Mr. Jones, did you get a new car?" Mason Kirk took the car keys and exclaimed, "It's a Mercedes-Benz!" "I just got it a few days ago. It's an E-Class, not an S-Class. You're exaggerating too much!" Kian Jones said indifferently, but inside, he was elated. Especially seeing the envious looks of his classmates, he felt even more proud. Bethany McKenzie was also surprised. They had only graduated a few years ago, and Kian Jones had already gotten a Mercedes-Benz. Feeling Bethany McKenzie's gaze, Kian Jones straightened his chest and was about to speak when an unfamiliar phone number called. "Who is this..." He muttered and answered the call, "Hello?" "Hello, I accidentally bumped into your car in the parking lot. Come and take a look, I..." "What!? My car was bumped?" Kian Jones widened his eyes. He had just bought the car and hadn't driven it for long, yet it was already bumped! Instantly, he sobered up and quickly walked towards the parking lot. The other classmates hurriedly followed. When they reached the parking lot, they saw a person standing there from afar. Kian Jones walked over quickly but froze on the spot. The person who bumped into his car turned out to be Isidore Richmond, this waste! "It's you who bumped into my car?" Kian Jones's face turned ugly. "This useless person. What are you eating with your eyes? My car was parked here and didn't move. Yet you managed to collide with it! You..." "I'll fix it for you." Isidore Richmond didn't expect to bump into Kian Jones's car. They really had a narrow relationship! He was somewhat unhappy but knew he was in the wrong. Suppressing his anger, he said, "And it's not much damage. Whether you want money or repairs, I'll take responsibility." "Oh, you look very confident!" Kian Jones laughed. "A good-for-nothing without any assets dares to mention money to me? I want fifty thousand dollars. Can you afford it?" With a glance, he saw that only a little paint had been scratched on his car, which shouldn't cost much to fix. But when he looked at Isidore Richmond, anger rose in his heart. "Fifty thousand dollars?" Isidore Richmond raised an eyebrow. This guy obviously treated him like a fool. "Fifty thousand dollars is not much, but your car only has a little scratched paint. It shouldn't cost that much." Isidore Richmond said in a deep voice. "If you can't afford it, stop pretending!" Kian Jones coldly snorted. "Where is Hayley? Let her see what a useless person you are. You can't even come up with fifty thousand dollars. Ridiculous!" "I'm right here." Hayley Waters's cold voice came over. Everyone turned their heads to see Hayley Waters's cold expression. She pushed open the passenger door of the sports car next to her and walked to Kian Jones, saying coldly, "Here's your fifty thousand dollars. Are you satisfied? I'll give the cash to you right now!" "Hayley, I, I didn't mean it..." Kian Jones nervously laughed. "Stop talking nonsense. We accidentally bumped your car, so of course, we have to compensate." Hayley Waters snorted. "Take the money and F*cking get out of my face now!" "I..." Kian Jones opened his mouth but remained awkward. And Mason Kirk, who was holding the car keys, suddenly pointed to the sports car next to him and exclaimed, "F...Ferrari! Hayley Waters, you guys are driving a Ferrari?" What!? Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked over. Sure enough, on the other side of the Mercedes-Benz, there was a bright red Ferrari Roma parked! "A Ferrari?" Kian Jones froze. After a while, he stiffly raised his head and looked at Isidore Richmond, struggling to swallow his saliva. "You... is that your car?"
