Chapter 782 Rich Second Generation
Upon hearing this, Seb glanced at Susan and then said, "How can she be even dumber than you?"
"Ugh, am I really that dumb?" Susan let go of Seb's hand and playfully slapped his shoulder.
Seb took the opportunity to wrap his arm around her waist and kissed her cheek. "Isn't there someone even dumber than you?"
Susan was still immersed in the previous conversation. "Actually, I feel sorry for Cecilia. She deliberately drove her boyfriend away today, but I can tell she really likes him."
"That just means she found a useless man!" Seb said.
"And you're Mr. Perfect? Not everyone in this world has money, Seb. That guy is a PhD student, he’s refined, and he obviously loves Cecilia a lot. He's just not rich," Susan said regretfully.
"We agreed to focus on us today, so why are we still talking about Cecilia? Let me tell you, the fact that she would stoop so low to raise money shows she's not a good person. That guy was right to leave her. It also proves that not every rich man is an easy target. She thinks seducing a rich man is simple, but she's underestimating us!" Seb argued with a tone of disdain.
"Are you still bitter because Cecilia tried to seduce you?" Susan stared at Seb and laughed.
"Of course, I'm bitter. She nearly tarnished my reputation," Seb retorted.
Hearing this, Susan smiled and pushed Seb. "Reputation? Your reputation was ruined long ago."
"Hey, how was my reputation ruined?" Seb insisted on getting a clear answer from Susan.
Susan simply said, "You go in and out with that Esme, visit her home, and have rumors with all those models and celebrities. Everyone in Maple Valley knows you're a playboy. So much for your good reputation."
Exposed by Susan, Seb's arrogance immediately diminished, and he grinned cheekily. "Let's not talk about the past, okay? Besides, I just had meals with them and got caught up in rumors. I didn't do anything!"
"Just dinners and rumors, huh? What more do you want to do? Have kids?" Susan immediately questioned with a stern look.
Seeing Susan angry, Seb quickly grabbed her hand and coaxed, "Have kids with them? Only you can have my kids. Hey, why don't we have another one?"
"I don't want to have another one. You can find someone else!" Susan slapped Seb's hand away.
Seb smirked and changed the topic. "By the way, I ran into someone familiar at the hospital entrance. It's such a coincidence to meet someone from Maple Valley in Northstar City."
"You're changing the topic again. I was talking about your rumors!" Susan immediately accused.
Men were like this; whenever a topic was unfavorable to them, they changed the subject. Susan had experienced this many times.
"We're having such a happy time together today, let's not talk about unpleasant things, okay?" In the end, Seb had to surrender.
Seeing Seb raise his hands in surrender, Susan smiled and waved her hand, pretending to be generous. "Alright, I'll let you off today!"
"Thank you, dear," Seb said with his hands clasped together.
Susan laughed and hit him.
Then, Seb suddenly frowned. "Wait, how come I ran into someone from Maple Valley at the hospital? Could it be..."
Seeing Seb's puzzled look, Susan couldn't help but become suspicious and asked, "How old is that person, and what does he look like?"
"About twenty-seven, refined and handsome," Seb thought for a moment and answered.
Hearing this, Susan's eyes widened. "Is his name Daryl?"
"How do you know? Could it be..." Seb squinted at Susan.
"He's Cecilia's boyfriend," Susan answered, looking at Seb in surprise.
"This world is really small. Daryl is dating Cecilia. Cecilia is really a troublemaker. Luckily, I didn't fall for her tricks, or how could I face Daryl's dad? His dad and I are like brothers!" Seb said with relief.
"What?" Hearing this, Susan's eyes widened.
"Why so surprised?" Seb reached out and gave Susan a light tap on the head.
"I mean, Daryl is twenty-seven, and you're like brothers with his dad?" Susan looked at Seb with amusement.
Seb took Susan's hand and laughed. "Daryl's dad, Isaac Fields, got married early. He had Daryl when he was nineteen, so Isaac isn't much older than me."
"Oh, I see." Susan nodded.
Seb thought for a moment and then said, "Wait, something's not right."
"What's not right?" Susan frowned and asked.
Seb replied, "Isaac has a family business in Maple Valley worth over a hundred million dollars. If Cecilia is Daryl's girlfriend, Daryl shouldn't have trouble coming up with tens of thousands of dollars. Why would Cecilia go out looking for a rich man?"
Hearing Seb's words, Susan frowned and said, "Yeah, that doesn't make sense."
The next moment, Seb stood up and took out his phone. "I'll call Isaac and ask."
"Hey, don't be too direct. Be subtle, don't ruin Cecilia's image," Susan quickly advised when she saw Seb about to call Isaac.
"I know," Seb smirked and dialed Isaac's number.
Seb then talked to Isaac for over ten minutes. Susan was impressed by how he circled around other topics for ten minutes before finally bringing up Daryl.
She had asked him to be subtle, but wasn't this too subtle?
After a long time, Seb finally hung up the phone.
"So, what's the deal?" Susan looked at Seb and asked.
Seb smiled and said, "Isaac said that a couple of years ago, he wanted Daryl to come back and take over the family business, but Daryl had his own dreams. He insisted on coming to Aelistania to study architecture. They had a falling out, and Daryl left for Northstar City to pursue his PhD. Isaac stopped giving him money, so Daryl has been living on scholarships and part-time jobs. He's got some backbone, hasn't taken a dime from Isaac."
Hearing this, Susan was both surprised and impressed. "So, Daryl really isn't just the typical rich kid after all!"
