Chapter 111 I'll Fulfill His Wish Right Now
Richard lounged on the couch, holding Brenda and chatting with Hubert.
Hubert asked about online stuff.
Richard couldn't help but gripe about Elizabeth.
He downed a glass of wine. "I've never been so embarrassed, all thanks to my dear sister."
Hubert was surprised Richard lost to Elizabeth so badly.
He looked at Richard sympathetically and sighed. "You and Eugene, really pitiful. I called Eugene, but he refused when he heard you were bringing Brenda."
He laughed, "First time I've seen him so scared."
Eugene was afraid of being seen with Brenda and making Elizabeth misunderstand.
Richard thought, 'it's already a mess, does it matter now?'
He tugged at his tie, and said sarcastically, "It's ridiculous he's pretending to be so affectionate now. We both got messed up by the same person, but he blames me. I don't even want to drink with him."
Talking about Eugene still made him mad. "He's just like Kevin, both unreliable."
Hubert said, "It just shows Elizabeth is quite capable."
He wasn't familiar with Elizabeth but often heard Rebecca talk about her.
After returning and learning about their past, he got curious about Elizabeth.
To make both Eugene and Richard lose, Elizabeth must be something else.
He worried Rebecca might pick up Elizabeth's personality and became a spitfire too.
Since Rebecca returned, she hadn't contacted him or gone back to the company.
Eventually, he had to go get her himself.
When he contacted her, she refused to see him, hung up, and blocked him.
This must be something she learned from Elizabeth.
He rubbed his forehead. "I wonder if your formidable Elizabeth will lead Rebecca astray."
Richard saw his expression and couldn't help but gloat, "Don't worry, she definitely will."
He added, "But your Rebecca was never well-behaved. She slapped Eugene at the airport when she came back. Elizabeth may be unruly, but she wouldn't hit her own brother."
Hubert said helplessly, "Yeah, that's why I'm afraid the two of them together will be even harder to manage."
Rebecca hitting Eugene for Elizabeth was unexpected.
Richard looked eager. "Absolutely. I'm just waiting to see the drama between you and Rebecca. Who knows if you can coax her back. Eugene was dumped by Elizabeth, and it looks like she doesn't plan to take him back. If you ask me, you brought this on yourselves. Why get caught up in all this love stuff? Being single like me, I can do whatever I want. No woman dares to be rude to me."
Hubert glanced at Brenda in Richard's arms.
He raised an eyebrow. "So even Brenda..."
Though he didn't finish, the meaning was clear.
Richard glared at him. "Don't talk nonsense. Brenda is my sister."
Brenda glared at Hubert. "Exactly, Hubert, don't overthink it. Richard just spoils me."
Hubert was speechless; he'd never seen someone spoil their sister by holding her so intimately.
But since he was friends with Richard, he didn't say it outright.
He raised his glass. "Come on, let's drink!"
Richard clinked glasses with him.
Elizabeth and Rebecca overheard and clenched their fists, holding back the urge to punch them in the face.
Rebecca snapped a few more photos of Richard holding Brenda, lounging on the couch, and chatting with Hubert.
These photos would be explosive if released.
Just then, they saw Angela get up to refill Hubert's drink.
She seemed to slip and fell onto Hubert.
Elizabeth laughed. "No wonder they're sisters; they use the same tricks. Brenda did the same thing to Eugene before."
When she exposed the ambiguous photos of Eugene and Brenda, some were taken from certain angles, but they were indeed that close, and the photos weren't edited.
Even if Brenda did it on purpose, Eugene accepted it, so it wasn't fake.
Brenda alone couldn't have taken such photos; if Eugene really wanted to avoid other women's advances, he should have kept his distance.
Excuses like "we're innocent, you misunderstood" were even more disgusting than outright cheating.
Now, although Angela was creating the intimate vibe, if Hubert hadn't kept her around and given her the chance, could she have fallen on him?
Rebecca looked at them sarcastically. "No wonder Eugene and Hubert are close; they're the same kind of people."
She added, "Doing bad things but thinking they're good people, even more disgusting."
Elizabeth agreed, "Exactly."
Then she saw Hubert reached out to steady Angela.
Upon his gesture, Angela seemed to stumble again.
This time she fell directly into his arms.
It looked extremely intimate now.
Angela was clearly doing it on purpose for Rebecca to see.
Then Elizabeth heard Richard tease Hubert. "Our Hubert sure is lucky with the ladies."
He joked, "If Rebecca saw this, would she hit you?"
Everyone in the elite circle knew Rebecca chased Hubert abroad.
The others chimed in, "Why not call Rebecca out for a drink?"
Hubert looked at them. "Don't stir things up. If Rebecca saw this, she'd definitely tear me apart."
He looked at Angela in his arms and frowned. "Are you okay?"
That meant 'if you're okay, get up quickly'.
Angela blushed. "Sorry, I slipped on some water."
As she spoke, she seemed to be getting up but was deliberately slow.
Elizabeth nudged Rebecca. "Rebecca, now's your chance to hit Hubert and completely break up with him."
Although they hadn't confirmed their relationship, Hubert had't turned down Rebecca's advances.
His words earlier confirmed it even more that he cared about Rebecca's feelings.
Now Angela was still sitting in his arms.
Even if Angela had "accidentally" fallen into his arms, it didn't change their intimacy right now.
If he had kept his distance and not given her a chance, would this have happened?
What annoyed Elizabeth even more was that they were using her and Rebecca as an excuse.
Clenching her fist, she was ready to throw some punches.
Rebecca's face looked grim, clearly thinking the same as Elizabeth.
She nodded. "Alright, since he said I'd tear him apart, I'll fulfill his wish now."
