Chapter 366
Thomas’ mouth curved downward after hearing what the manager said. Making himself die? No one in Irieson had the ability to do that!
He sat serenely in his seat because he could now see his old acquaintance heading toward him. It was Melissa Quinten, the head of his high school class whom he had met once at Miles Auction House. He truly hadn’t expected to see her when accompanying Olivia out for a meal.
“Why can’t you do this properly? Is it that difficult? Why do we even need you?” Melissa’s boyfriend pushed the restaurant management in irritation. Romantic Restaurant was a family business, and he had originally planned to bring his girlfriend here for a romantic candlelit dinner before they headed to a hotel to spend the night together. But somehow, they had coincidentally bumped into Thomas here.
“Yes sir! You’re right!” The manager stumbled but did not look annoyed at all, smiling widely instead in a way that resembled a pandering servant.
After leaving Miles Auction House, Melissa had become increasingly suspicious. Thomas was merely a poor soldier and had become a mere driver at the Pearson Group after being discharged, so how could he be so extravagant in his spending? No… This is truly impossible. She definitely had to be mistaken and it wasn’t Thomas at all.
After coming to that conclusion, she didn’t have anything else to be afraid of anymore. However, she had unfortunately bumped into her enemy at a business that belonged to her boyfriend’s family, so she would never let go of such a great opportunity to avenge herself.
You nearly made me go to prison and lose so much money, so I will avenge myself today no matter what!
Melissa hadn’t wanted to destroy the rare romantic atmosphere between her and her boyfriend that night and intended to just kick Thomas out, but she didn’t think the man would stubbornly remain here
and refuse to leave. In that case, Thomas shouldn’t blame me for being cruel and violent. If he refuses to leave, then he won’t have to anymore!
“Thomas, we were merely giving you a way out by letting you leave but you, being the useless piece of trash you are, just wouldn’t take it!” Melissa shouted as she pointed directly at his face. Her hatred for him had reached a terrifying level where all she wanted was to flay him.
“Someone clear the place and close the door!” Melissa’s boyfriend, Garrett, ordered coldly. He would stand up for his girlfriend and make the man who had taken over the headlines of the Irieson news eight years ago crawl away!
“Yes, sir!” the manager answered, not daring to refuse. He turned around and quickly made the necessary arrangements. Soon, the customers on the first floor were all cleared out, except for Thomas and Olivia.
“Ha! I didn’t think the top student back then would be so useless!” Garrett pointed his nose in the air arrogantly so that his nostrils directly faced Thomas. However, Olivia, who was beside Thomas, had gained Garrett’s attention. Her angelic complexion and excellent figure far surpassed those of his current girlfriend.
You are completely unworthy of her. Why should a poor, incapable, and useless loser like you have such a pretty girlfriend? I won’t just teach you a proper lesson today but will also steal her from you. If the situation allows it, I will let you see how I will toy with her. You will then know the consequences of crossing me!
Garrett kept his dark thoughts to himself.
“Darling, he’s no top student at all. He missed his appointment with Irieson’s University of Technology, which then canceled his early admittance to Irieson First High! He’s a dishonest sc*mbag who is still
being looked down upon by their students!” Melissa clung to Garrett’s forearm as she cruelly recounted Thomas’ many mistakes.
Meanwhile, Thomas felt utterly resigned. Indeed, his actions back then had been somewhat inappropriate, but he had entered the army to protect his country, not to do something illegal. What was wrong with that? Besides, it had been so long since that happened, yet Melissa kept mentioning it. Aren’t they tired of it?
“Thomas, you nearly caused me to go to prison on the day of the class gathering. My family had to go around borrowing money in order to get 70 thousand for my bail! You shameless *ssshole! Do you know what that kind of money means? It’s a sum that you will never be able to earn in this lifetime!”
“Okay, okay. Don’t get angry. You will become ugly that way. Leave it to me!” Garrett consoled as he kissed Melissa.
“Thomas Clifford, huh? I’ve heard of you. You’re quite famous and considered a celebrity here in Irieson, no?” Garrett’s gaze was filled with jealousy since he didn’t understand how a useless loser like Thomas could have such a gorgeous girlfriend. She should be mine! Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Darling, he’s no f*cking celebrity. The teachers in Irieson’s University of Technology, as well as the students of Irieson First High, are all ashamed of him! Even if he’s famous, it might be because of infamy!” Melissa had returned to visit her alma mater a few days ago, and everyone was still infuriated by the mention of Thomas’ name.
“You’re still cocky enough to show your face everywhere, eh? You shameless loser!” She grabbed the glass on the table and threw its contents at Thomas.
He was extremely nimble and could easily avoid it but did not, allowing the wine to splash onto his face. After all, Olivia was behind him. If he avoided it, she would get the brunt of it.
Olivia couldn’t control her fury anymore.
How dare you throw wine onto my man? Who gave you that courage?
She immediately grabbed a wine glass and threw its contents at Melissa.
“You b*tch! How dare you do that to me?!” Melissa was an extremely hateful woman who couldn’t accept any woman prettier than her. She had become extremely jealous the moment she landed eyes on Olivia and after being spattered with wine, she refused to be merciful to Olivia. Surging forward, she intended to hit the other woman.
Thump!
However, Thomas would never allow this to happen. It was one thing to drench him with wine, but it was another story for Melissa to hit Olivia. Without a word, he kicked her backward.
“Oof!” Melissa fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. It had happened so quickly and, in a flash, she was already groaning on the floor. Garrett and the restaurant manager hadn’t had the time to react.
“Oh, you’re definitely getting it now!” Melissa was still Garrett’s girlfriend, so the man had to stand up for her when she got hit. Raising his fist, he swung it at Thomas’ face.
Thump!
Garrett ended up the same way as his girlfriend and was kicked to the ground by Thomas.
