Chapter 15: Stand out
Chapter 15: Stand out
Richard nearly wanted to kill them.
The guy, in front of all the classmates, uttered such words. That was the extreme humiliation to him and to Catherine!
At this moment, he itched to go right away, breaking Guy to pieces.
"Ha ha ha…"
"Catherine, how about agreeing with Guy? With his support, you can surely clear your debt."
"Yes, these days people laugh at the poor but do not laugh at the whores. As long as you have money, you are the best!"
"You should learn from Nolan. As long as you give up your dignity and be his lover, sure enough you’ll be safe and sound."
"Catherine is very beautiful and it will be better if she is willing to do so."
All the students laughed and looked at them with a stronger trace of sarcasm in their eyes, coaxing one after another.
"Hey! Watch your language. My lover is just a bit older than me and I was brave to pursue for my love, okay?" Nolan claimed.
She was kept by a very rich old man. Since then, she lived in a mansion, driving a luxury car.
She was not ashamed, but proud.
"Yes, yes. Nolan had pursued for love since college, and I admired it." Someone praised.
Many people looked at Nolan, their eyes full of envy and hatred.
Although Nolan was a kept woman and her reputation was not very good. But the fact was that she had a wealthy life.
These days, people laugh at the poor not the whores!
As long as you have money, you will have identity and status.
Poor man will not be respected everywhere!
There was a time when Catherine lived in a wealthy family, and these people flattered her.
Now Catherine was expelled from her family and ran up a large amount of debt, these people came to taunt, saying all kinds of unpleasant words.
"Catherine, to be honest, the most important thing for us is to marry a rich man. Becoming his lover, you will get a better life." Nolan said.
A roar of laughter sounded!
They were full of sarcasm.
Catherine clenched her fist and almost cried out.
She bowed her head, silent, humiliated and embarrassed.
Shame!
Faced with such humiliation, she really wanted to leave the place at once.
But the thought of the consequences of failing to borrow money forced her to sit and clench her fists, grieved and discouraged.
At this moment, she wished desperately that she were rich and powerful.
She had to tolerate all of that in order to find the opportunity to borrow money. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Catherine, think about it. It's much better to follow Guy rather than Richard." Nolan grinned.
As she spoke, she felt a sense of success.
They were once classmates. Nolan had always been overshadowed by Catherine.
Now Catherine was down and out and suffered from shame, Nolan would definitely take advantage of the chance and twist the knife.
Everyone laughed.
Bang!
Richard pat up, looking around them, said, "That's enough! You think it funny?"
The crowd froze for a moment, and then quickly burst into laughter.
Was this a joke?
This was humiliation. Guy and Nolan deliberately taunted them. Could he still not see?
"Well, Richard, are you heartbroken?"
"Yeah, we just think it was fun. So what? Are you going to hit us?"
The men laughed, taunted and despised.
These people had known that Catherine was nothing without the support of the Smith family, and the Miller family, let alone her debt.
"Richard, we ask you to come here to make fun of you. You are almost bankrupt. How can you show your displeasure?"
Nolan looked scornful, and taunted, "As long as Catherine become Guy's lover, he can not only solve Catherine's affairs, but also get you a decent job."
"When you get rich, you can also get another lover outside. At that time, you could have a lot of lover. Isn’t that great?"
"An abject noble man is no better than a beggar. Your wife is nothing now. Once you have money, you can splash out on women!"
Slap!
Before she finished speaking, Richard had slapped Nolan in the face.
Sounded crisp!
For a moment, there was no sound and everyone was looking at him.
None of them had ever thought that he would suddenly attack with a strong force.
Catherine was also shocked, looking at Richard. She felt warm yet anxious.
She knew that he did it for her.
But, she endured the humiliation just to borrow money from Guy. Now the hope was gone with the slap.
Nolan froze for a moment, her face painful.
She collected herself, and immediately cursed, "Richard, you bastard, you, how dare you hit me?"
Richard stared at Nolan, coolly said, "A filthy mouth cannot utter decent language. You’d better think twice before you talk."
Nolan would have been dead meat if nobody had been present.
"Bastard, you dare hit me." Nolan was crazy, struggling to catch him.
No one had ever hit her in front of others, and now Richard hit her, which she couldn't accept.
The students around hurriedly pulled her.
"Don't stop me, I'll kill him!" Nolan shouted.
The students around hurriedly dissuaded her from doing so.
"Don't be impulsive, Nolan. Call your husband right away and tell him you've been bullied and let his guards come over."
"Yeah, Keep calm in case you get hurt again!"
Nolan gradually calmed down and picked up the phone. "Honey, I am in the InterContinental hotel. Someone hit me. Come help me."
"What? Who dares to hit my wife? F**k! Honey, wait, I'll be right there." A man's fierce voice came from the phone.
Hearing this, everyone in the scene sneered, looking at Richard full of schadenfreude.
"He must be punished." Someone gloated.
Although Nolan's husband was very old, he was the boss of a company owned by the largest family in Evento and had high status.
As long as Nolan's husband came over, Richard would surely pay for a price.
Guy also stood up, glowered at Richard. "Richard, you are going too far. Apologize to Nolan quickly!"
"You're a scum either. Shut your fucking mouth!" Richard grabbed the glass in front of him and poured the wine over.
Guy was splashed with alcohol.
He bristled, glowered at Richard. "You bastard, how dare you do this to me?"
Seeing this, Catherine was depressed, her eyes full of despair.
Guy was the one who she wanted to borrow money from. Now Richard offended him, then what could she get?
Richard said, "That was just a little lesson to you. If you say anything bad again, I promise you will die in a painful way!"
