Just as Jimmy grabbed his phone and wanted to call Ariah, Jean, who was sitting next to Ella, called him softly, "Jimmy."
Totally unconcerned, Jimmy asked without even looking at her, "Why haven't you left yet?"
"It's raining outside, and Aunt Ella said that it's not safe for me to go back alone."
At this point, anyone could understand what she was trying to indicate, but Jimmy seemed not to have understood it.
Left with no choice, Jean bit her lip and added, "Aunt Ella wants you to give me a ride home."
With a sneer, Jimmy answered, "Am I your chauffeur?"
"Oh, no. I..."
"Since I'm not your chauffeur, why should I give you a ride?"
Flushed, Jean whined. "Jimmy, it's a gentleman's duty to give a woman a ride!"
"Don't tell me all this nonsense." Not to be swayed by her words, Jimmy uttered, "If you're the woman I like, I'll give you a ride even if it's raining knives, let alone rain. It's a pity that I don't think much of you, and you're a nobody to me. I'm just talking to you for the sake of your father. Do you understand that?¹'
After all, Jean was a young lady that had always been admired by many, and she had never been treated poorly because of her family's wealth and power.
In fact, she had never been this humiliated to the point where she couldn't even say a word
With tears in her eyes, her lips trembled as she said, "Jimmy, how could you do this..."
When Jimmy saw that she was about to cry, he rubbed his temples in annoyance. If Ariah were to cry, he would definitely feel sorry for her and pity her. However, if another woman cried, he would only feel irritated and disgusted.
With an aggrieved expression, Jean looked at the man in front of her and said bitterly, "Jimmy, since you like that Ariah so much, do you know that when I offered her money and make her leave you, she really did want it!"
No man would like to hear such words. Especially Jimmy, who was an egoistical man, he certainly didn't like to hear it either.
Sure enough, as soon as Jean finished her words, Jimmy frowned and said, "She asked you for 911
"That's right!"
Then, Jimmy glared at her and asked, "How much did you offer?"
"One million!"
After Jimmy heard her answer, he asked expressionlessly, "Did she agree?"
"Of course not!" With a face full of disdain, Jean said, "She even demanded an exorbitant price of one hundred million! Isn't she afraid of being a laughing stock?"
The moment Jimmy heard that, he suddenly smiled and said, "D*mn, my wife is really good at making money."
"W-What?"
Stunned, Jean's eyes widened because she could not believe what she had heard.
Meanwhile, Jimmy couldn't be bothered to care about this her. Compared to Ariah, she was really too dumb, and he didn't even bother to look at her right now.
Instead, he turned around and left as she wondered why his mother would fall for such a woman.
"Stop right there!"
As soon as he turned around, Ella stopped him angrily.
Then, Jimmy leaned to one side and raised his thick eyebrows slightly. If his mother couldn't tell what was going on and wanted to force him to give Jean a ride, he would have to be an unfilial son for the time being.
When Ella saw how impatient her son was, she endured it and said to him in a friendly tone, "What's wrong with you giving Jean a ride? Forget about how close we are with their family. Even if it's not because of our close relationship, you should still give our family guest a ride home."
Jimmy agreed softly and suddenly asked, "How did she come here earlier?"
Calmly, Ella replied, "I sent our chauffeur to pick her up."
"Then let our chauffeur send her back. Do we not have a chauffeur?"
"Would I still ask you to give her a ride if our chauffeur was around?"
