Jennifer smiled and cleared her throat. “Denis, this is my classmate. Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Nonsense?” Denis raised an eyebrow. “You said it was a true story, right?”
“And when you rejected Flynn’s confession in our senior year of high school, wasn’t that true?”
Denis glanced at Flynn’s Volkswagen Passat. “Bro, are you doing something here? How come you don’t even have this much insight?”
“Plenilune Mountain is a wealthy area with dedicated drivers. You won’t be able to pick up many fares here.”
Flynn replied calmly, “You misunderstood me. I’m just waiting for a friend.”
“Give it up!” Denis chuckled and said, “Bro, you’re just too shy to admit it in front of someone you like!”
“You’re wrong!” Denis sneered. “Jennifer is the school beauty of your school and she has clear goals for the future and knows what kind of man she wants to marry.”
“You’re so poor,” he continued, turning to Flynn directly now. “Jennifer said you used to live under a bridge and wear cheap clothes; why would she want to be your girlfriend? It’s normal for her to reject you!”
Flynn frowned slightly.
It seemed that Jennifer had turned his own past into a joke and told everything to Denis! Maybe people were laughing out loud when they talked about him!
He didn’t expect his pain would be just a joke in other people’s eyes…
Jennifer chuckled and asked, “Flynn, what did you do after graduating from high school? Why didn’t you go to college?”
“I didn’t want to,” Flynn replied without looking up or bothering with the two of them.
To Jennifer, this action seemed like a sign of insecurity. She shook her head and said, “How could you have such thoughts?”
“You’re so poor. Going to college is the only chance to change your fate. Why don’t you go?”
Flynn’s eyes were indifferent as he impatiently said, “Is there anything else? You can leave if there’s nothing else. I want some peace.”
Denis shook his head and smiled at Jennifer. “He might still like you and got jealous when he saw us together.”
“He probably didn’t go to college because of your rejection.”
“Rejection? He can’t figure out his own position in life. It has nothing to do with me!” Jennifer turned back towards Flynn.
“I refused because you couldn’t give me the life I wanted. We are not people from the same world; we cannot be together.”
“Look forward and don’t dwell on my rejection.”
“You’re not ugly; just make money and marry an average-looking girl.”
Flynn’s face turned cold as he tilted his head slightly, “What’s wrong with women these days? They always say we’re not from the same world! Are they saying they come from heaven?”
After being rejected, Flynn was unhappy for a while but quickly got over it.
It wasn’t like he had been through a heart-wrenching breakup that left him devastated.
He just liked her; confessing was simply about avoiding regret rather than falling apart for a woman’s sake.
“Isn’t that right?” Jennifer was taken aback by the comment and asked in return, “I’m so beautiful, I should marry a man like Denis who earns millions a year. You can barely save a few thousand dollars a year. How do you deserve me?”
Denis patted Jennifer’s plump butt and provocatively smiled, “Bro, whether you admit it or not, only men like me have the ability to make beautiful women bow down.”
“You’re just someone from the lower class who can only pick up our leftovers.”
Flynn sneered and asked back, “Are you kidding? Do you need to show off your wealth to gain mating rights like a donkey?”
“Why are you laughing?” Denis’ face turned cold. “In this society, either one has great wealth or power. Otherwise, they can only eat what we leave behind.”
“I could crush you with one hand; of course Jennifer will be with me.”
Flynn was amused by Denis’ words and shook his head. “I just find it funny that a small manager dares to jump around in front of me.”
“Small manager?” Jennifer’s face changed suddenly. “Who do you think he is? Denis is an manager in Aisino Bank whom Jasper president likes very much.”
“He earns more money in one year than what you’ll earn in half your lifetime; what qualifications do you have to look down on him?”
“You’re so poor that even do ride-hailing everywhere; yet still dare to look down on Denis? Who gave you the courage?”
“I bet he hasn’t even married yet!”
“Fynn! Who are they?” Scarlet ran over with two cups of milk tea in her hand and hooked her arm around Fynn’s arm while handing him the cup.
“Let’s go! We’ll drink upstairs!”
Fynn pulled his arm out of Scarlet’s embrace and motioned for her to get into the car.
“Is she your girlfriend?” Jennifer grabbed the car door in shock at how close Scarlet was to Flynn.
Scarlet was stunningly beautiful, with delicate and smooth skin, and long and slender legs. She was a masterpiece of creation without any flaws. Even Jennifer felt jealous.
Denis couldn’t take his eyes off Scarlet either.
If Jennifer were the moon, then Scarlet was the sun at noon. They couldn’t be compared in any way; Scarlet had it all!
Scarlet felt a bit frustrated that her efforts to impress Flynn were being ignored. “I want to be his girlfriend, but he doesn’t want me!” she said.
This statement shattered their worldview. They thought that with Flynn’s family background, finding a wife would be difficult enough – why wouldn’t he even glance at such a beautiful girl who threw herself at him?
Jennifer smiled at Scarlet and said, “Don’t let men’s sweet words deceive you; money is king in this world! You’re too good for someone like Flynn.”
Scarlet looked puzzled as she realized that they didn’t have a good relationship with Flynn, “What’s wrong with you guys? What does it have to do with you whom I choose to be with?”
“It’s not about us,” replied Jennifer sharply. “It’s about you wasting your time on someone who doesn’t deserve it.”
“You’re the one building walls around yourself instead of taking the high road,” Denis added.
“Alright, let’s go!” Flynn urged, feeling that Scarlet was wasting their time with small talk.
“You have no idea what you’re missing out on,” Scarlet turned to get on the car.
“She’s too far gone!” Denis envied and clicked his tongue. “To be able to make a pretty girl fall head over heels like that, I have to say your classmate is really good at picking up girls!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class suddenly stopped by the side of the road.
Aisino Bank President Jasper jumped out of the car and ran towards Flynn in tears. He said, “Mr. Clark, Callie’s illness is getting worse and she has gone insane.”
“Mr. Clark, we were wrong last time for believing in Travis’ daughter and doubting your abilities. Please give us a chance to make it up to you. My family is willing to offer 10 million dollars as compensation for your kindness.”
