Chapter 59 I Find It Dirty!
"Don't cry, it'll ruin your makeup." Hilton elegantly took out a white handkerchief from his chest pocket and gently wiped away Yeager's tears, his movements skilled.
Being cared for by such a handsome and noble man, Yeager's heart fluttered. She felt even more charming.
This man must be her prince charming, coming to rescue her!
She leaned closer to Hilton and said in a coquettish manner, "Thank you, I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're okay." Hilton smiled and handed the handkerchief to her. "I heard someone playing the violin in the next private room. It was beautiful. Was it you?"
Yeager's face turned pale. How should she respond to this?
If she had told the truth, wouldn't it have given that annoying Katherine another chance to show off in front of her prince charming?
After a moment of thought, Yeager deliberately replied vaguely, "Sir, the piece you heard was indeed played by this violin. Unfortunately, it has been destroyed by someone!"
"What a shame! The person who damaged this violin is truly despicable!" Hilton frowned slightly and finally looked at Katherine. "Katherine, why did you break her violin?"
Katherine? Did he know Katherine?
Katherine looked at Hilton with disdain, thinking that Alexander was already strange enough, and now even his friend was acting abnormally!
Birds of a feather flock together!
At this moment, Yeager was stunned and exclaimed in surprise, "Sir, what did you just call her?"
"I called her Katherine; what's the matter?" Hilton smiled.
Yeager couldn't believe it, her expression turning unpleasant. "How... do you know her name?"
Hilton smiled and said matter-of-factly, "She is the wife of a good friend of mine. Of course, I know her name."
"The wife of a good friend?" Yeager was shocked. She looked at Hilton and then at Katherine, unwilling to accept this reality...
How could that annoying Katherine be connected to her prince charming? It's so annoying!
Hilton smiled and turned his head to look at a man standing not far from the private room door. "Alex, stop staring! Come over and see what we can do. Your wife has damaged this young lady's violin!"
Upon hearing Hilton's words, Katherine turned her head and saw Alexander with his hands in his pockets, walking over with steady steps...
Katherine furrowed her brows. She was starting to get annoyed every time she saw Alexander now!
Hilton took the violin from Yeager's arms and handed it to Alexander for inspection, saying, "Alex, take a look at the scratches on this young lady's violin. She said your wife did it!"
Alexander calmly lowered his head and took a quick glance. Then he raised his hand, grabbed the violin, and smashed it hard against the wall. There was a loud bang, and the violin fragments scattered on the floor. All that remained in his hand was the damaged neck of the violin.
After that, Alexander casually threw the neck of the violin away, treating it like trash...
Yeager snapped back to reality and exclaimed in shock, "My violin!!!"
Alexander remained indifferent throughout, his voice cold as he commanded, "Leander, compensate her."
Leander nodded and obediently replied, "Yes."
Alexander no longer paid attention to anyone else and turned to Katherine, "Is your gathering over?"
Witnessing Alexander's actions of smashing the violin, Katherine was speechless but still answered, "...Yes, it's over. I'm ready to go home."
"Then let's go." The man raised his arm and gently put it around Katherine's shoulder, leading her as they turned to leave...
Not far into their departure, Katherine suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around. "Leander, I want you to compensate my classmate for the violin at the original price. If you give her even a penny more, your boss won't reimburse you!"
"Uh..." Leander nodded. "I understand, Mrs. Melville."
After instructing Leander, Katherine followed Alexander out of the party house...
Alexander had a tall and sturdy figure, while Katherine was petite. When they walked side by side, they appeared exceptionally well-matched.
Yeager crouched on the ground, crying softly, discontented that her violin had been destroyed like this...
She had thought that by crying, she would gain the sympathy of the elegant man who had wiped her tears. Little did she know that no one came to help her up, even after crying for a long time!
When she looked up, she saw her prince charming in her heart leaving in a hurry, only leaving his back...
Ah! How could that handsome guy leave, too?
Did he not care when he saw her in such a pitiful state?
Yeager quickly got up and chased after him, "Sir, please wait..."
Hilton stopped, smiled, and turned his head to look at her. "What's the matter? Do you need anything else?"
Yeager was taken aback and felt a bit awkward...
Was it her imagination? The Prince Charming was clearly smiling, but he seemed much colder than before!
"Um... Sir, I'm returning your handkerchief. Thank you for your concern earlier..." Yeager shyly handed him the handkerchief, quietly waiting for the prince charming to ask for her contact information...
However, Hilton just sneered and didn't take back the handkerchief. "It's fine. Consider the handkerchief a gift from me."
Yeager's cheeks turned red, and her heart raced!
Was he just giving her this handkerchief like that? The material of the handkerchief didn't feel cheap at all. Was he implying...
Just as Yeager was secretly fantasizing about how their relationship would develop, Hilton spoke again in a cold voice, "I find this kind of rag used by a despicable person dirty."
Yeager was stunned...
Despicable person? Was he referring to her?
Yeager felt a sense of guilt and hastily explained, "Sir, there must be a misunderstanding. I... I'm not a despicable person..."
Hilton chuckled, "Aren't you? You just now didn't play the violin piece, and you didn't deny it! You deliberately damaged the violin and tried to blame someone else for it! And now you're here, pretending to be pitiful and shedding tears. With your behavior, if you're not a despicable person, then what are you?"
"I..." Her mask was ruthlessly torn off, and Yeager felt deeply ashamed, unable to come up with a defense.
She had thought that the other person was interested in her, but it turned out she was just delusional...
Hilton walked away.
Leander approached Yeager and said, "Madam, I have checked. Your violin is worth $4,000. Now, please provide me with your account details, and the compensation will be transferred soon."
Yeager was filled with anger. She gritted her teeth and lashed out at Leander, "Who said my violin is only worth $4,000! It's worth $20,000! Not a penny less!"
Leander remained expressionless. "Madam, if you insist that the violin is worth $20,000, please provide a receipt or purchase record as evidence. Otherwise, we can also resort to legal proceedings."
Upon hearing the mention of legal proceedings, Yeager hesitated. She didn't want to get involved in a lawsuit right after graduating from college...
In the end, she gave in. The violin was already destroyed, and she couldn't afford to refuse the compensation. Reluctantly, she provided her own bank account number.
She blamed everything on that Katherine!
It was all because of Katherine!
She and Katherine were now sworn enemies!
In the car, Katherine lowered her head and looked at her phone...
Alexander's deep and cold voice sounded, tinged with a hint of sarcasm, "Mrs. Melville plays the violin quite well!"
