Leila took a look at Renee’s stance and it seemed as if she wanted to have a fight. Leila stood up immediately, “Ms. Russell, what a coincidence and welcome, let’s all sit together! Renee, please sit down!”
Callum also pulled her, “Sit down, Renee! Mr. White, please have a seat!”
Vincent nodded slightly and his gaze flashed sharply when he looked at Renee, as if he was a little impatient.
“I’m a little curious because I don’t know who she is yet!” Renee’s eyes swept over Vincent’s instantly gloomy face and frowned, “It’s just a little weird that Mr. White doesn’t accompany his own wife to have a dinner, but actually accompanies someone else. Is it possible that the gossip is all true now?”
“Renee!” Leila said righteously.
Renee had no choice but to stop saying anything and hummed as she sat down.
Pippa smiled gently, and sat down without giving any explanation.
Pippa sat down next to Leila, with Vincent in between. Renee looked a bit annoyed and wanted to say something else but was stopped by Leila’s almost pleading gaze. As her chin was raised, Renee looked away from her face. She was unwilling to look at a mistress!
Just like that, Pippa and Vincent joined the three for the dinner.
Leila’s eyes swept a quick glance at Vincent and found him glancing at herself deeply. She instantly flustered, her eyes dodged for a moment, and then immediately calmed herself down. Why should she be vain, she had done nothing wrong, she would not be vain.
Her eyes glanced at Pippa’s eyelids, which were still a little swollen. She had cried a lot last night, hadn’t she? The chin seemed to be a little bruised which was covered up by the foundation make-up.
Leila wondered what had happened when she thought of her crying so badly last night, and she was not at liberty to ask.
“Ordering!” Callum greeted the waiter.
Callum gave the menu to Leila. “Leila, take your order!”
“I don’t know what to eat, Ms. Russell, take your order!” Leila pushed the menu to Pippa.
“Oh fine! I’ll order!” Pippa spoke to the waiter impolitely.
The atmosphere was a little strange. Leila smiled gently, her sight falling on the cup in front of her without speaking.
Renee frowned and glared at Callum and lightly hummed, “By the way Callum, do you still remember our classmate, James?
“James? Oh, do you mean the boy from our junior high school with slightly bulging eyes?”
“Yes!” Renee clapped his hands in unusual excitement. ” Boy, you have a good memory! I’m telling you, he’s married to Maria in my class! Do you still remember Maria? The girl with a little freckle on her face who sat behind me when I was in school!”
“Yeah, I still remember!” Callum seemed to understand what Renee was going to say next and wanted to stop it, but he subconsciously glanced at Vincent and looked at Pippa. He was really worried for Vincent. Renee’s destructive words were really terrifying!
“James was seen hooking up with a woman and I heard that they were having a sex in a five-star hotel, and Maria found out about it. At first, Maria put up with it, but then she couldn’t stand it any longer. Maria cut off James’s penis in a fit of rage!” Renee sighed with a tsk, “I feel sorry for James, he can’t be a real man for the rest of his life! What’s even more pitiful is that Maria has to go to jail for seven years for committing intentional assault. Damn it! A man who cheats on his wife should be sentenced in court, so why should women who have defended their legitimate rights be sentenced? This is not reasonable at all, it seems that the law needs to be improved again!”
“Uh!” Callum could only nod his head. “I have heard about this!”
Vincent’s eyes abruptly blazed, he was so smart that he could understand the meaning of Renee’s accusation. A chilly aura erupted from his grim face. His condescending eyes turned around, and a pair of sharp eyes swept over Renee’s face.
Renee also did not show any sign of weakness, raised her chin slightly and continued, “Would you say that Maria are pitiful?”
“Pitiful!” Callum could only nod his head. “But …”
“But what?” Renee immediately raised his voice, and the tone sounded as if he would be the next one to be sentenced to castration if Callum said anything to defend James.
“Nothing. I just think it was not worth it for Maria. There are so many good men out there, and she doesn’t have to stay with him. Don’t you think so?” Callum’s words were said in an unusually implicit manner.
“Ha! When you are dealing with a flirtatious and cheating man, you have to cut off his penis without hesitation. We wouldn’t want to kill him either, just let him never be a real man for the rest of his life. We will never tolerate adultery.”
By now, Leila also understood what Renee meant. My goodness, she was messing with Vincent by saying this on purpose. She saw that Vincent’s face had turned dark. She was even more worried, how could this be? What a mess!
He had an iceberg-like, unsympathetic and sharp handsome face. The whole scene became pretty serious.
Leila raised her eyes to look at Renee, she winked at Leila and smiled, “Leila, James and Maria are both my and Callum’s classmates!”
“Well hmmm!” Leila could only nod her head, she didn’t want the atmosphere to be too awkward. However, she was thinking in her mind what if she pissed off Vincent? This Renee was really giving her too much trouble!
Pippa had just finished ordering and looked up to ask them, “What would you guys like to eat? Do you want to order more? I’ve ordered six dishes, I don’t know if it’s enough!”
“Who’s paying for this meal?” Renee raised her eyebrows.
Callum was stunned and wanted to say immediately, but Vincent beat him to it, “I’ll pay!”
“Well! Since Mr. White is the one who wants to pay, let’s order six more. She’s called the waiter to bring up the best signature dishes here. Later, look for this handsome and cool gentleman to pay the bill! Rich people are usually so handsome and prestigious!”
Vincent’s face became even more gloomy.
Leila wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to. Renee was really suffocating Vincent with these words, as if he was the one who was cheating on her.
Pippa also understood and blinked her eyes, a crafty shine flashed in her eyes. “By the way, what happened to James’s mistress in the end?”
Her question made Renee stupefied!
“Is that mistress doing very well?” Pippa smiled and asked again, “When James became a eunuch and Maria was in jail, did the mistress have a peaceful life?”
Renee was dumbfounded. Yeah, that mistress found a man again. It was said that the fucking man was much better than James. Not only was he financially well off, but he was also a wealthy bachelor. Renee was wondering why that man was blind to fall in love with a bad mistress.
Vincent took a look at Pippa, her lips curved out a light smile. Pippa was back to her mischievous appearance. He just hoped that she would really come out from the traumatic expereince, Vincent sighed softly in his mind.
Leila also understood what Pippa meant. In the end, it was the mistress who was pleased. She saw the smile at the corner of Vincent’s lips, which was clearly an appreciation of Pippa’s intelligence. Leila’s eyes flashed with a touch of despondency, lifting her cup with a self-deprecating smile and taking a sip of the tea.
“Did I guess correctly?” Pippa asked Renee.
Renee flattened her mouth, not conceding defeat and hummed lightly, “Just like what people always say, God is watching everything, so be careful! Yeah, that mistress is doing well now, but maybe tomorrow or maybe tonight she’ll be beaten up and abandoned by a man! You never know! Eventually, she’ll be abandoned! A woman like that should be put on a donkey, put in a pig cage and given 3, 600 stabbings. Otherwise, what about the wife who has suffered for so many years?”
Upon hearing this, Pippa’s face seemed to change.
“It’s too bloody!” Callum said in a low voice which immediately drew an angry glare from Renee.
Vincent’s eyes glanced harshly at Renee.
“Mr. White, why are you glaring at me? I’m talking about James , not you!” Renee didn’t care about what Vincent said and looked at him and suddenly asked with a smile, “Mr. White, do you sympathize with the mistress or the Maria?
Callum sighed, what a trouble-making woman. Couldn’t Vincent see and hear what she meant by these words? But who is this Pippa? Is she really Vincent’s lover?
It was the first time Vincent had seen such a woman, and it was so infuriating and unbearable that he wanted to slap her with his hand. He glanced at her lightly without saying a word, and Renee suddenly gushed out with contempt. “Could it be that you sympathise with the mistress?”
Pippa shook her head at Vincent and smiled lightly, “Ms. Byrne has a great sense of justice! I like this kind of personality!”
“Don’t! Please don’t make me scared. I want to be normal and I don’t want any woman to like me. It’s clear whether women can be friends or not and my friends must be decent people, like Leila!” The implication was that Pippa was not of good character and could not be her friend.
The air was frozen and time seemed to stop for a few seconds.
Leila froze and broke the awkwardness. “Ms. Russell, Renee speaks in a reckless manner. Please ignore it!”
“No! I’m not angry at all!” Pippa smiled lightly, her posture very elegant.
Leila could hardly believe that the woman who was crying so pitifully last night could be the one in front of her!
Vincent remained silent, but his eyes swept over Leila’s face occasionally.
Renee said again, “Leila, what I said earlier about Maria and James, do you think it was worth it for Maria?”
Leila understood that she wanted to express herself here in front of Vincent and Pippa, the fake mistress. She was speaking up for her and supporting her. The girl, Renee wasn’t afraid to offend the wealthy Vincent at all. She was really righteous and Leila felt doubly warm in her heart.
Everyone was expecting Leila’s answer almost at the same time. She looked down and sipped her tea, smiling gently as the setting sun shone on her face through the glass window. The sunlight coated her fair skin with a layer of golden color as she said softly, “It’s not worth it!”
“Why?” Renee was so anxious that she almost jumped up. She thought Leila had to scare Vincent even if it wasn’t worth it, to let him know that it would be dangerous so that he wouldn’t cheat on her in the future!
The words caused Vincent’s eyes to freeze.
Leila smiled bashfully and said again, ” Since James chose to cheat on her, that means there are no more relationships, so why they hurt each other if there are no more relationships? Why not divorce earlier and seek her own happiness sooner! It’s not worth going to jail for a man with no integrity like that. Why ruin your lifetime of happiness? Maybe it would be happier to divorce and start a new family with a new man!”
“This may seem like she simply got her revenge, but did she really get it?” It was the first time that she had analysed such a thing like this, as if she was taking a stand and analysing the marriage.
