Chapter 80: Did I hit you where it hurts?
Alexia’s brow furrowed, it would have to do for now.
Adler Ashton, who was driving in front, couldn’t help but advise.
“Jonathan, your legs hurt, and it will take over two hours to walk back. How long do you have to walk? Doesn’t Alexia’s friend have a motorcycle, it’s fine for her to go on it.”
The words were countered by Alexia.
“The sun is too hot for my skin, I don’t want to take the motorcycle, and my friend doesn’t like to squeeze in with the old man, so I’ll let him go back first, my dad’s health has always been good, so let him walk around more as a way to strengthen his body, please drive.”
Adler Ashton was really pissed off and could only shake his head when he saw that Jonathan had gone down.
Jonathan got out of the car, too embarrassed to call for another pickup, and planned to just walk back, dizzy from the hot sun outside.
Back at Papa Bree, Victoria got out of the car and waited a while before seeing the car behind her arrive.
Several officials and Adler Ashton got out of the car, but the last person to get out was Alexia.
Alexia’s whole body froze at the sight of Nick standing in front of the black car and her face turned red.
This man was definitely the best looking man she’d ever seen in her life, very tasteful, the suit set off his entire being ascetic and cool, and if she could be with her, she’d be willing to do anything!
Alexia’s heart was on fire and she hurriedly took a few quick steps to stand beside Nick.
“Mr. Andrews right? Hello there, thank you for visiting Hopmeadow Downs, in fact there are a couple of really nice places here, if you don’t mind, let me show you around this afternoon and I can buy you a meal.”
Alexia’s eyes were fixed straight on Nick, her mind uncovered.
Nick’s face sank, and a couple of the officials looked at each other and rushed forward to pull Alexia over.
Alexia struggled twice, “Why? Can’t I have a word with Mr. Andrews? I thought you said on the bus that Mr. Andrews was going to be here for another day, so it’s only right that I treat him to a meal to show the warmth of the people of Hopmeadow Downs.”
Alexia’s eyes were full of greed, looking at the ten million dollar luxury car one moment, then at Nick’s face the next.
If she climbed up the ladder, she would be rich for life, so why stay in a poor place like Hopmeadow Downs?
Nick’s expression remained light, there was no need to care about her, and he lifted his foot to head inside.
Undeterred, Alexia looked to pull on his sleeve, but this time Victoria got in the way.
Victoria’s brow furrowed, “Where’s Uncle? It should be him coming back in the car.”
Alexia rolled her eyes, “He walks.”
“It’s thirty-six degrees outside today and you’re letting him walk alone? Alexia, do you have a conscience or what!”
Alexia didn’t care about that, and as soon as she pushed Victoria away, she was going after Nick.
It was so hard to meet such a superb man, she couldn’t let it go.
Victoria yanked her wrists straight through and set them behind her, coldly,”Go back and pick him up.”
Alexia flustered in pain, her tone defiant.
“That old bastard has always been in good health, what’s wrong with walking? And it was he who asked to walk. Blame me, what business is it of yours that he was willing to let me go like this?”
Alexia struggled a bit to break free but couldn’t make it , then looked to her friend on the motorcycle and yelled, “What are you waiting for?”
The punk man got off his motorcycle and came charging at him aggressively.
“Bitch! Do you have any fucking idea where you are, this is my place in Hopmeadow Downs, don’t you dare mess with my friends!”
Victoria’s hand was still shackled to Alexia not letting go and the punk raised his hand to hit her hard.
Just before he could drop it, his wrist was choked violently.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
The punk’s face turned white, but unwilling to admit he was a wimp, he swallowed a few times.
“Who the hell are you? It’s none of your business if I teach this bitch a lesson!”
Victoria looked over at the slender and powerful hand and realized it was Nick who had gone and returned.
Nick just looked at the punk, expressionless, and twisted his wrist with one hand to toss him aside.
A security guard who followed him aside dragged the man away.
Victoria let go of Alexia as well, and Alexia gritted her teeth resentfully, “Wait, go back and see what I can do to you!”
Victoria didn’t have the heart to pay attention to her anymore and turned her head to Nick and said, “Thanks, Mr. Andrews.”
Nick glanced down at her, took the antiseptic wipes Declan handed him, wiped his own hands, and turned to head inside.
Victoria planned to pick up her uncle, but Alexia stopped her.
“Don’t think you are so great because you went to college. I heard from my dad, you are married and your husband doesn’t like you. Playing around outside every day, it’s really pathetic, so what if you went to college, you still end up being widowed at home just like me. Your dad is married again, he has a son and a daughter, and he doesn’t like you either, so what do you have to be complacent about?”
Victoria interrupted her coldly, “Enough said?”
The more uncomfortable Victoria got, the more smug Alexia got, “What? Poke you where it hurts? My husband ran away, but isn’t your husband still a piece of trash who only cheats?”
