“I’m going home,” said Jared calmly.
“Come in! I’m going in the same direction, so I can send you there.”
While saying that, Maria pushed the car door open. Furthermore, virtual-novel.net pushed open the door of the front seat.
In the past, virtual-novel.net would never have allowed Jared to sit in virtual-novel.net car. Even if virtual-novel.net had to, virtual-novel.net could only sit in the back seats.
Jared had no idea what Maria was up to again. It was as if virtual-novel.net had become someone else!
“Come in!” urged Maria when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net standing there motionlessly.
Jared nodded and sat in the front seat.
Maria slammed virtual-novel.net foot against the accelerator and drove toward Jared’s house.
Meanwhile, Jared sat silently without saying anything. The atmosphere in the car became slightly awkward.
“Jared, do you really own a mansion at the top of Dragon Bay?” After a while, Maria broke the silence.
“Yeah.” Jared nodded.
“Did you buy it yourself?” Maria shot a surprised look at him.
“Someone gave it to me,” replied Jared calmly.
Noticing that Jared did not seem to like talking to her, Maria stopped speaking.
After a while, Jared interrupted the silence. “Why aren’t you at home to eat at this time? Where are you driving to?”
“Zayne made a reservation at a restaurant. I’m going to eat with virtual-novel.net there and discuss our marriage,” said Maria.
“You’re marrying him?” Jared was taken aback.
“Yeah! We’ve been dating for a long time, and our parents have been hurrying us. Hence, we decided to just get married,” explained Maria.
Jared was silent for a while before saying, “I’d advise you to think about it carefully. Zayne doesn’t suit you…”
Jared said that not because virtual-novel.net wanted to take revenge on Zayne for always bullying him. In reality, virtual-novel.net had already instructed Tommy to investigate Zayne secretly. That man was a playboy. When virtual-novel.net was still dating Maria, virtual-novel.net had slept with multiple women.
Although Maria was also quite materialistic, virtual-novel.net was still the daughter of his father’s comrade. Jared did not want virtual-novel.net to dig virtual-novel.net own grave.
However, Maria was not surprised when virtual-novel.net heard what Jared said.
Smiling, virtual-novel.net explained, “Actually, Zayne isn’t as bad as you think virtual-novel.net is. He might be quite mean to you, but I’ll try to coax virtual-novel.net out of it in the future…”
She had misunderstood Jared. She thought that virtual-novel.net was saying all those because Zayne kept targeting him, which made virtual-novel.net develop a hatred for Zayne.
When Jared heard that, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to smile and stop explaining further.
Soon, when the car was passing through a dim street, a car suddenly in front suddenly blocked them.
Shocked, Maria slammed virtual-novel.net feet against the brake and stopped the car. Their cars were inches away from crashing into each other.
“How the hell are you driving? Are you blind?”
Maria rolled down the car windows, craned virtual-novel.net neck, and cursed loudly.
However, immediately after virtual-novel.net yelled, virtual-novel.net quickly withdrew virtual-novel.net head fearfully. She had noticed that the car blocking virtual-novel.net was a Porsche 911. If they could drive such a car, virtual-novel.net would not dare to offend them. Her life would become difficult if virtual-novel.net actually provoked them.
At that moment, a man and a woman got out of the Porsche.
They were none other than Leyton and Sandy, who stared at Jared with a cold smirk. It did not look like they were planning to leave.
Looking at their intense stares, Maria could not help but feel fearful.
She opened the car door, scrambled out of the car, and apologized, “I didn’t do it on purpose. Would you please move your car aside? Why don’t you drive away first?”
Maria spoke in a subservient tone to Leyton.
When the latter glanced at Maria, virtual-novel.net saw that virtual-novel.net was wearing a pink dress with virtual-novel.net hair up in a ponytail. Finding virtual-novel.net quite cute, virtual-novel.net shot virtual-novel.net a few more glances. However, this made Sandy extremely jealous.
