Chapter 270
Athana had always been a bustling city. The scene of people knocking off from work was even more lively than in other cities. The road opposite the hospital was always packed with vehicles and pedestrians. The endless stream of passers by and the honking of the cars were like a symphony.
Everyone was anxious to go home.
Three luxury cars were parked at the entrance of Athana Hospital. There was a Porsche, a Maybach, and a Mercedes-Benz ATV.
One of the men wore a well ironed suit. He was leaning against the black car door and chewing gum. He wore black sunglasses, and his eyes could not be seen. He was handsome but lethargic.
On the other hand, the man leaning against the door frame of the ATV had his sunglasses hanging in front of his chest on his white t-shirt. His black sweater was draped over his shoulders, and his two sleeves were tied around his neck. His sleeves were casually placed on his chest, and his slender right hand held onto a half-smoked cigarette. The star red sparks were slightly red. He turned his head and blew a smoke ring at the man standing by the Porsche beside him
The man leaning against the door frame of the Porsche waved his hand in disdain and gave him a look that told him he understood.
Trevon remained upright and looked at the entrance of the outpatient clinic, waiting for the woman of his dreams. Frank had one leg on the tire of the ATV and was partially bending down. He turned his head to glance at Hackett, who was beside him. He sized Hackett up and teased, “Those in the knowing knew that you came to the cafeteria to propose today. Those not privy may think you ran away from your wedding to see a doctor in the hospital.”
Frank dodged a sidekick from Hackett agilely. Frank gritted his teeth and exclaimed angrily, “Are you hurt because Ava left you? You’re so weak because you have nowhere to vent your anger. You deserve it.”
Hackett was too excited today and did not go home to change out of his clothes. After the proposal, he stayed in the car to wait for Sherri to get off work. He was still wearing his white suit and pink shirt
He did look like a groom.
Trevon was upset and quite disgusted that Hackett proposed faster than him. Hackett had turned over a new leaf and was about to start a family by having a wife and children.
Trevon glanced over coldly and said to Hackett in disdain, “How many engagement gifts did your family give to deceive Miss Landor?”
Hackett was not stupid. He could not reveal to the two of them how many engagement gifts he had given. He said smugly. “I won’t tell you. You will never win me!”
Trevon was speechless.
Frank stood up and walked to the trash can in the distance. He took the cigarette from his lips, extinguished it, and threw it into the trash can.
Trevon also strode to the trash can to spit out his gum. When he saw Frank smoking, he also felt his cigarette addiction relapsing. He had promised to quit smoking, so he could only take out the gum from the car and stuff it into his mouth. The gum was tasteless.
The two of them walked to the trash can one after another. Frank threw the cigarette in and turned to Trevon to say, “You are right. I’ve already gotten the item from Abbot. Take a look at the content yourself when you have the time. It’s worst than I thought”
Upon hearing this, Trevon had a somber expression. He carefully asked, “How bad is it?”
At the Foster’s residence. Trevan looked at the nostalgic renovation and Natalie’s pink bedroom. Trevon felt that Barron was not merely pampering but compensating Natalie. As for the reason behind Barron’s compensation, Trevon needed to investigate further. That night, he sent a message to Frank, requesting to start his investigations from Abbot.
Frank sighed. “It might change your worldview Go and take a look yourself. There’s also a USB flash drive. I’ve looked at the content for a few seconds. Finish reading it first.”
Frank only wanted to look at the contents for a few seconds to check the authenticity of the USB drive. He did not want to be involved in this messy matter. He still had a lot of things to do on the side
Trevon was silent for a few seconds before saying with a somber expression, “Thank you.”
Frank continued, “There’s news from Haililand. Mia has gone completely crazy. She hid in the toilet to drink urine yesterday”
This news was insignificant to Trevon. It did not matter to him at all. He was emotionless after hearing it and said indifferently. “Let’s wait for the scoundrel to fix his wedding date before telling him about this.”
Frank replied. “Yes, you’re getting more and more soft-hearted.”
When Trevon Wilson heard this, he smiled and responded, “I have a wife and children; I need to accumulate good karma.”
Frank smiled knowingly and stuffed his hands into his pockets. He looked nonchalant as if nothing could affect him.
Hackett shouted from afar. “Are you guys crazy? The place is so spacious. Why are you chatting by the trash can and smelling the stench? is
there something wrong with you?”
Frank turned around and looked at Trevon for a while before saying, ‘This guy deserves a beating.”
Trevon nodded slightly and sneered, “Help him loosen up one day”
While they were talking, three women in dresses walked out of the outpatient building. They held hands and chatted happily. What a sight.
An attractive woman with a smile on her face is always dazzling.
Many others also turned to look at them.
Among the three of them, Sherri was the happiest. She skipped over to Hackett and was in front of him in a few steps. Sherri threw herself into his arms happily. She was shy and blissful. She would periodically play with her finger where the ring was placed. The ring sparkled under the warm light, and it blinded Hackelt.
Natalie could not stand it anymore and kept shaking her head. Trevon walked to Natalie and held her hand before saying, “I’ll make up for what I owe you. You don’t have to be envious of anyone.”
Natalle responded, “What? Who am I envious of? Sherri? Since when was she envious? What kind of gaze was that? Who said she was envious?”
Trevon pulled Natalie into the front passenger seat. However, she was stuck in her thoughts. If she said she was not envious, would he think. she did not want to marry him? If she admitted she was, would she be seen as desperate to get married to him? Both seemed awful; she was better off not explaining. The more she explained, the worse it would be.
After Trevon sat in the driver’s seat, he nodded at Frank as if to send a secret signal before he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
