Chapter 036 A Slap in the Face
Last time, because of this guy, he almost broke up with his girlfriend.
Today, he finally managed to appease Emily.
But unexpectedly, this guy showed up again.
Leo already knew the ins and outs of the previous incident.
When he learned that Charles had even asked Emily for her Facebook before rushing onto the track, he almost lost it on the spot.
A loser from high school!
A piece of trash he looked down upon!
A coward he used to beat up!
And now this guy had the guts to try and steal his girlfriend?
Charles not only did that but also humiliated Leo badly on the track.
In Leo's proudest event, the sprint, he was completely defeated!
'That bastard did it on purpose.'
'Absolutely on purpose.'
Charles still bore a grudge from the beating he got back then.
'So what if you beat me in a sprint?'
In this society, money is what matters most.
Leo's family was wealthy, and after graduation, he could directly take over the family business, starting as the general manager.
What did a poor kid like Charles have to compete with Leo?
"Isn't this my old classmate? Your performance yesterday was quite impressive. Where are you headed? I can give you a ride!"
Leo chuckled, as if he had completely forgotten his rage from yesterday.
He casually pulled out a car key.
A BMW 7 Series in front of them flashed its lights twice.
This was a luxury car.
Originally, this car belonged to his dad, but he had planned to take his girlfriend out for a ride in it today.
And now he could also show off in front of Charles!
What an unexpected bonus!
He wanted Charles to feel inferior every time he saw him in the future!
"No need, Leo. I have plans with someone else today," Charles replied calmly.
Then he took out his phone and sent a message to Jimmy.
"Charles, you have plans too? Great, my car has two extra seats. Let's go for an outdoor barbecue together. After all, we're old classmates; we should hang out more and keep in touch."
Leo wrapped his arm around Emily's waist, his smile growing wider.
He was already enjoying the pleasure of showing off!
He felt he had regained his lost dignity in front of Emily.
Charles must be feeling so inferior that he couldn't even lift his head.
"Really, no need!"
Charles continued texting and shook his head.
"Alright then, Emily, get in the car. Today, I'll take you to try some French cuisine!"
Just as Leo was feeling triumphant in front of Charles.
The Rolls-Royce that had been parked for an hour suddenly moved.
The luxury car slowly drove up to them.
A middle-aged man in a suit, wearing white gloves and sunglasses, got out.
He respectfully approached Charles.
"Young Master, please get in the car!"
The middle-aged man, Jimmy Cox, bowed and opened the car door for Charles.
Charles calmly stepped into the Rolls-Royce.
Leo was stunned!
Completely dumbfounded!
Emily's mouth opened wide.
What was going on?
This one-hundred-thousand-dollar Rolls-Royce Phantom was here to pick up Charles?
And the driver called him 'Young Master'?
Leo felt utterly humiliated!
He had just been showing off his luxury car, but it was instantly overshadowed!
So embarrassing.
Charles didn't care about Leo's complicated feelings.
He was just surprised to find that Emily's favorability towards him was suddenly increasing rapidly.
Emily: Favorability +5
Emily: Favorability +5
Emily: Favorability +5
Just by getting into the car, Emily's favorability towards him increased by 15 points, reaching a total of 25 points.
This was an unexpected gain.
"Emily, let's go!"
Leo was already losing it!
He grabbed Emily's hand and forcefully dragged her into the BMW 7 Series.
Emily looked back several times.
She originally thought Leo's car was great; after all, it was a BMW 7 Series, already a luxury car.
He was only a junior and could already drive such a nice car, which was quite rare among their classmates.
But looking back at the Rolls-Royce Phantom Charles got into.
And the driver calling him "Young Master!"
It could really make one wonder.
Charles's identity was not simple!
"Leo, I think you should learn from Charles. Look how excellent he is and yet so low-key. You just like to show off too much, and now you've made a fool of yourself!"
Emily couldn't help but criticize.
Leo was already losing it, and Emily's words pushed him over the edge.
"Do you think Charles is excellent? How is he excellent? Are you attracted to him just because he has a luxury car? Are you regretting not giving him your Facebook yesterday?"
Leo roared furiously.
"Are you yelling at me? Are you yelling at me again? Yes, I am attracted to him, and I do regret not giving him my Facebook yesterday. So what? If you are so capable, go get a Rolls-Royce. If you don't have the money, stop showing off!"
Emily's words were like needles, piercing Leo's fragile ego.
Her words were too harsh!
They were challenging his bottom line.
In a fit of rage, Leo slapped Emily.
Emily was stunned!
She had been pampered and spoiled her whole life, even her parents never hit her.
But now, Leo had hit her!
"Leo, you're not a man. We're breaking up!"
Emily pushed the car door open, covered her face, and left angrily.
This time, Leo didn't chase after her.
He felt Emily had gone too far, pushing him to his limit!
A woman, no matter how beautiful, couldn't repeatedly challenge a man's ego.
Especially by elevating Charles and belittling him.
To him, it was an insult!
Leo sat in the car, lighting a cigarette, and taking a deep drag.
He still couldn't understand.
How did this loser Charles suddenly become so rich?
Was he pretending all along?
At this moment, Prom Queen Jessica finally arrived!
'Isn't this Jessica? What luck to run into the school's second ranked Prom Queen!'
'If Emily wants to break up, so be it. When I get Jessica, Emily will be nothing!'
Leo felt that when God closes a door, God often opens a window.
