Chapter 317 Humiliation
Meanwhile…
Martin sat in the car and clicked on his phone screen several times. Finally, he received a reply. from Paige.
The message was short: “Everything was fine.”
There was also a photo of the dorm.
However, what Martin noticed first was Paige’s shadow reflected on the glass door when she took the photo.
Her waist was so thin.
She was so beautiful.
Just as he was about to text Paige again, someone knocked on the car window.
“Martin.” Patricia smiled sweetly. Standing outside the car, she said gently, “It’s too stuffy in the car.
Why don’t you come out and get some fresh air?”
Martin ignored her and meant to type when Patricia knocked on the window again persistently.
“It’s so boring for you to be alone in the car… No one will talk to you.”
“The drivers have gone to take Paige’s luggage to her, and your parents aren’t here. Since we have nothing better
to do, why don’t we go to a nearby coffee shop to have a cup of coffee while waiting?
“Martin, did you hear me?”
She deliberately revealed the fullness of her chest to attract Martin’s attention, but he didn’t look at her. Instead, he
typed with one hand as if Patricia weren’t there.
Patricia was embarrassed and discour***.
But in the other car, Amily kept winking at her, telling her not to give up easily.
Patricia could only invite Martin again, “Martin… I have no other intention. We grew up together.
Can’t we even have a cup of coffee together now? What can I do to you in public?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I have a fiancée.” Martin kept ignoring her. Looking at his phone screen, he said in a cold voice, “Stay away from
me.”
When Patricia heard this, she immediately acted pitiful.
“Do you like the kind of person who is cold and doesn’t get close to others…”
Patricia hadn’t finished speaking when she saw Martin’s warning gaze.
“Have you lived too comfortably in the Lusk family? Do you want a change?”
“Martin…”
Patricia was frightened. What she said was the truth. Paige always put on a self-righteous look.
She was cold and lacked people skills….
Patricia didn’t twist the facts!
“I just want to treat you to a cup of coffee. If you prefer to stay in the car, I can get in to keep you company…”
Feigning weakness, she continued, “There must be a misunderstanding between us…
We can take this opportunity to make it clear. Did Paige badmouth me in front of you?”
“You think too highly of yourself.” Martin’s eyes were cold to the extreme, and his tone was displeased. “You are not
worthy of her mentioning!
“Martin…”
“Even if you imitate her every word and action and even make yourself look like her, I won’t be interested in you.”
Patricia had never been humiliated in person. Standing there, she was dumbstruck, embarrassed, and as***d.
“I *** people who are hypocritical, affected, or self-righteous the most, and you have all the traits.”
Patricia bit her lower lip and was about to cry.
“If you continue to overestimate yourself and ask for trouble, don’t even think about living the life of a rich young
lady.”
Patricia looked at his cold and ruthless side face and was extremely embarrassed. She ran back into her car and
cried…
“How can he say that about me? How can he say I’m hypocritical, affected, and self-righteous?”
Patricia cried in Amily’s arms and felt wronged. “How am I inferior to Paige? He’s the richest man. in the world. So
what? What is so great about him? His words are too hurtful!”
Amily said patiently, “A man like Mr. Stowe, who is in a high position, naturally is ****. It is not so easy to win his
heart… Otherwise, all the good-looking girls in the world can become his wife. Why will it be you?”
“What does he see in Paige? Why is he so protective of her? Her only strong suits are playing the piano, pretending
to work hard in the office, and putting on airs.”
“Men tend to be attracted to aloof women… This is because of their desire to conquer! It is not your fault.”
Patricia finally stopped crying and sniffled.
“And you are not smart. You should’ve cried in front of him. That way, he would’ve been flustered and felt sorry for
making you cry…
“Now, wipe your tears first. Listen to me. You should go and try again…”
“Again?” Patricia really did not want to go and embarrass herself. Just now, Martin’s reaction was too terrible. If she
approached him again, he’d be furious!
“Be brave. Let him see your uniqueness!” Amily continued, “Let him know that you really like him, unlike the other
girls, who take a fancy to his money and status.”
Patricia hesitated for a long while before getting out of the car.
This time, as she had been told, she knocked on Martin’s car window and said softly, “Martin, I’m sorry. It was my
fault just now. Don’t be angry. Hear me out…”
Martin glanced at her. Patricia suddenly seemed to see hope. Her eyes were red as she said, “Will you get out of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe car first? Because if you look at me like this, it will make me feel oppressed…”
She did not dare to see Martin’s reaction. She lowered her head like a pitiful, timid child who had done something
wrong and wished for forgiveness.
However, what surprised Patricia was…
The next second, she heard the sound of the car door opening.
Martin’s long legs and shiny leather shoes came into her view.
Seeing his feet on the ground, Patricia felt as if she were dreaming.
She could not believe it. She looked up slowly until she saw his face which was so handsome that everything in the
world was overshadowed…
Martin got out of the car!
He really got out of the car!
He was standing right in front of her!
Amily was right. Men could not bear to see a woman with red eyes and a pitiful look…
Patricia’s pretense and lowering her collar were all worth it!
Just as Patricia revealed a happy face and was about to speak, Martin took a step forward and walked past her….
The entire process only lasted three seconds…
Patricia was stunned. She saw him get into Rhys’ car, which sped away…”
It was a while before she realized what had happened. Martin didn’t get out of the car to talk to her but because
Rhys came to pick him up…
It had nothing to do with her…
The ecstasy was gone, replaced by embarrassment and ***
In the car, Rhys asked while driving, “Boss, what happened? Didn’t you drive Ms. Paige to school today? Why did
you suddenly ask me to pick you up? Did you quarrel with Ms. Paige?”
