Chapter 79: Do me a favor, okay?
Nick’s brow furrowed at the sound and he looked up from his pile of papers to see a smiling Victoria standing outside the car.
Hopmeadow Downs had a beautiful view, and at the moment she was showing the upper half of her face, as if the magnificent sunlight outside was reflected in her eyes.
He couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the paper.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
How come he ran into her everywhere he went?
Victoria didn’t notice a moment of abnormality in him and knocked again, “Mr. Andrews, please?”
Nick lowered his eyes, his tone even, “Come in”
Victoria pulled the door open and got in the car.
The sun was hot outside, and it was noon, and the moment the door opened, along with the heat wave that poured through, was the faint scent of her.
Jonathan saw Victoria get in the car and got in the car behind her.
Just under three kilometers away, they saw the BMW that Alexia had taken parked in front of them.
She was standing at the front of the car talking on the phone, and beside her on the motorcycle sat the punk.
The man’s eyes went wide when he saw Nick’s car.
“Alexia, do you have any idea how much this car cost?”
Alexia didn’t really know, but it was the nicest car she’d ever seen, “How much?”
The man made a pretense of comparing a finger.
“A million dollars?”
“Ten million dollars!”
Alexia’s cell phone almost fell on the floor… a 10 million dollar car?
She had never seen a 10 million dollar car in her life, how many houses would she have to buy if this was converted to cash.
Shocked, she caught a glimpse of Jonathan sitting in the car behind her and quickly waved.
Jonathan had to greet the driver and stop.
“Dad, the car is out of gas, why didn’t you put gas in it when you drove it out, how am I supposed to drive it now?”
A momentary flash of apology appeared on Jonathan’s face, “Alexia, just wait, I’ll have a coworker come over and cheer you on.”
Alexia’s eyes scanned the car and didn’t see Victoria, instantly associating it with the ten million dollar car in front of her… could Victoria be in that car?
Alexia’s eyes rolled back in her head and she quickly said, “Is Victoria in that car out front? Why don’t you give her a call and ask the driver to come back and pick me up.”
Before Jonathan could answer, the other two officials frowned, “Mr. Andrews isn’t available, don’t hold him up.”
“Victoria can, why can’t I. Dad, hurry up and call her!”
Alexia sounded a little impatient, watching the car get farther and farther away, urging.
Jonathan had no choice but to take out his cell phone and call Victoria.
“Tori, Alexia’s car ran out of gas on the road, and we’re full up here, so could you … talk to the boss in the car and give Alexia a ride?”
Jonathan’s tone was humble, even pleading.
Victoria realized it was Alexia’s idea as soon as she heard it.
She robbed the car and left, and now she is letting them fix it when the car runs out of gas.
“Uncle, I’m sorry, Mr. Andrews is in a hurry and has to get back to his official duties and won’t have time to come back for her.”
“Alexia’s friend has a motorcycle, I’ll ask his friend to bring her here by motorcycle, just ask that boss to drive a little slower, Tori, I can’t leave Alexia here unattended, just think of it as a favor to me, okay?”
Victoria was silent for a moment; she had gone to Hopmeadow Downs for her last year of high school, and was living on loan at her uncle’s house.
Her uncle had always been good to her, and she remembered it in her heart, but this was something she could never agree to.
The bottomless indulgence of Alexia, unchecked, will lead to disaster sooner or later.
With Alexia’s personality, getting into this car, who knows what she’ll do.
She was just about to speak when Alexia’s voice came over the phone.
“I told you to talk to the boss next to you, why are you making such a fuss, don’t forget that your family has wronged me, if it wasn’t for your cousin going to your family’s company, could he have disappeared? Now there’s not even a trace of him, leaving me alone at home as a widow, suffering from the ridicule of the people around me, this is what you all owe me!”
Victoria hung up directly.
Alexia’s face just paled when she heard the call get hung up and she looked over at Jonathan in exasperation.
“She hung up on me, and I know that she just doesn’t have the slightest bit of guilt in her heart! If she comes back in the future, don’t let her come back to our house!”
Jonathan was in a dilemma, and with two other distinguished guests sitting around him, he couldn’t hold up the others either.
He got out of the car in a hurry, “Alexia, you take the car back, I’ll walk.”
