Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

“That’s right, she dares to insult you so unruly and openly now. If she really gets famous one day, won’t she bully you?”

“Right, you are her senior by years. She is really being disrespectful to you by behaving like this.”

Molly looked over at them.

“Do you guys mean that you want me to deal with her?”

The crowd hurriedly nodded unanimously.

Molly sneered suddenly.

“You guys think that I’m stupid? She’s now under Mr. Nixon’s protection, and you want me to mess around with her? Do you guys want me to completely offend Mr. Nixon, or do you want me to be forced out of the circle?”

At the moment these words came out, the women’s faces instantly changed.

“Molly, we didn’t mean that.”

“You guys know exactly what you mean!”

She sneered, “I’ve been in this circle longer than you, so don’t expect to tackle me using that kind of provocation. Trying to make me a gun? You’re still a bit too young!”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

After saying that, she gave a heavy cold snort and turned around to leave.

…

Zoe and Laura were pulled by Max into the open garden.

“Phew finally escaped from that hell, thank you so much!”

Max kept on bowing to them, and Zoe and

Laura could not help laughing.

“Come on, they say that all women love Mr. Nixon, and I finally saw it with my eyes today. The rumors are indeed true.”

Max smiled and rubbed his head, “Zoe, please stop teasing me, I can’t help it, right? I sacrifice my beauty for the sake of business, I am very dedicated, right? Not even you don’t comfort me, you even make fun of me.”

Zoe rolled her eyes.

“Come on, you sacrificed your beauty for business? It’s obvious that you just enjoyed messing around with women as well as the trouble from them.”

Ever since Zoe took her to meet with Max and a few of his friends last time, Zoe had kept in touch with them.

Stephen had set up a Facebook group with all his buddies in it. He had also invited her into it as well.

They would occasionally chat in their spare time, so they were not strangers to each other.

When Max was teased by her, he did not get angry but laughed instead.

He then looked at Laura who was behind her.

He rubbed his chin and smiled, “Laura, it’s been a long time since we met last time. You look pretty in this outfit today. You are very cold and elegant.”

While saying that, he squeezed his eyes at her appreciatively.

However, Laura looked away indifferently.

“Mr. Nixon, don’t try to seduce me. I don’t like you.”

Max was speechless.

He swore that he did not seduce her inwardly. He was just giving words of encouragement to her!

Zoe could not help but laugh.

“So, you guys really know each other, huh? I thought you’re strangers to each other. Now it seemed that you’re old acquaintances!”

Laura glanced at Max. She was a bit uncomfortable.

After a pause, she explained, “He and I were classmates a long time ago. We played together when we were kids.”

Zoe was stunned and felt a little surprised.

As far as she knew, Laura was not from a rich family. Her family could only be considered modest. As for Max, everyone knew that he was the only son of the Nixon family in Eqitin.

One grew up in Eqitin and the other was born in Julio. Logically, they should not have known each other when they were children.

However, she did not ask too many questions.

After all, it was their privacy. Furthermore, since Laura did not say anything, she must not want anyone to know.

It happened that at that moment, Nathan came over to find her and wanted to take her over to greet and get to know some bigwigs in the film industry. So, Zoe left with Nathan.

As soon as she left, Laura also stepped forward to leave.

However, Max pulled her back.

“Eh, wait.”

Laura turned around and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Her cool face was pretty and had some aura and Max also felt awkward somehow.

He did not know when he offended her. He felt that she showed a gloomy face to him once he entered the door today.

He had just defended her.

She was heartless!

Max gave her a friendly smile, “It’s been a long time since we met last time, let’s have a drink together.”

Laura hooked her lips sneeringly.

“Are you not afraid that those girlfriends of yours will get jealous?”

Max choked.

He said exasperatedly, “They’re not my girlfriends.”

“Oh? However, they’ll still be jealous, I don’t want to put myself into trouble.”

After saying that, she casually waved her hand at him as a farewell sign. Then, she walked away.

She looked so decisive.

It was the first time in Max’s life that he got rejected and was treated indifferently in such an ungracious manner.

At once, he was very angry that his chest hurt.

Sure enough, she was heartless.

Her turning him down made him even more desperately want to have a drink with her.

Laura found that he was a totally different person today, following her wherever she went.

Originally, she wanted to keep a low profile to come over to have a little show, promote the new drama, complete her mission and then leave.

But with him following her like this, how could she complete her mission?

Everyone knew that Max was quite famous in this circle. Wherever he went, the media would follow him, and so do the gazes of the actresses.

Just everyone seemed as if they wanted to throw themselves onto him.

When they found out that he had been following Laura, those poking gazes were like knives, stabbing her one after another.

Laura even felt the pain on her back due to the stabbing.

Finally, she managed to finish the task of promoting the new drama with a few media interviews. She planned to leave immediately.

However, at this moment, a figure darted over.

Laura was unaware and was bumped. She fell to the ground at once.

“Ah, sorry, sorry.”

The one who bumped into her was a waiter with wine in his hands. Seeing this, he hurriedly put

the wine down and came forward to help her up.

Laura gritted her teeth in pain. Fortunately, it was close to the entrance and less crowded. So, even if there were a few people who had heard the commotion and looked over, it did not attract too much attention.

She hurriedly stood up and the waiter helped her pick up her handbag and apologized to her.

“Miss, are you alright, I didn’t mean to do that, I’m really sorry.”

That waiter was anxious. Laura rubbed her arm that was hurt by the bump and forced a smile.

“It’s alright, just be more careful next time.”

“I’ll be careful next time, don’t ever complain about me to our manager, please.”

He looked as if he was in a hurry. She thought that probably tonight was too busy and the waiters were short-staffed. That was why he was in such a hurry.

When she used to have a summer job, she also worked as a waitress in a bar and she knew very well that it was not easy to work here, so she did not say anything anymore. She only waved her hand at him.

“Don’t worry, I won’t complain about you, just go and do your work.”

“Thank you, thank you.”

The waiter left with a thousand thanks.
