She fell silent for a moment.
It was only then that Hana Gill gritted her teeth and said, “I understand.”
Yes.
He cheated on her right in front of her, but so what? She couldn’t afford to offend Zak Cox. After all, the designer clothes she wore and the 3-carat ring on her finger were all gifts from him.
Her future path was also paved by Zak Cox.
If she left Zak Cox, she would have nothing. Now, all she could do was silently accept everything.
However, just because she said she wouldn’t make a scene didn’t mean she wouldn’t target Nina Houry. She had always been Nina Houry’s nemesis. It would be strange if she let Nina off the hook.
At that moment, Nina Houry was rejecting Zak Cox.
“There’s no need, Zak Cox.”
She not only rejected him but also kept calling him by his full name. Nina Houry knew what this so-called Zak Cox had in mind. He had pursued her in various ways in the past, but she had never agreed.
And now, she was determined to continue refusing him.
However, her way of rejecting him left no opportunity for Zak Cox.
Fortunately, Zak Cox was already used to it, having been rejected dozens of times. But he still tried again, saying, “Nina, think about it. North Bay is far away. If you take something like a bus, you won’t make it.”
“We have a car.”
Then, Nina Houry tugged at Robin Bailey, “And I brought someone along to drive for me.”
“Can this person really drive?”
Zak Cox looked at Robin Bailey with extreme suspicion.
“It’s fine.”
Robin Bailey was pulled to the front, acting like a shield. He sighed inwardly but had to help his sister-in-law on the surface.
“Nina Houry, you say you have a car, but where is it?”
Hana Gill walked out from behind, folding her arms and sneering, “I remember that you never drove a car during your four years of college. Would you have a car? And this guy, are those things on him even worth a hundred bucks? Would someone like him have a car? Are you kidding me?”
She recognized Robin Bailey. He was the piano guy who had caused quite a stir last time.
However, even if he was a piano guy, judging by Robin Bailey’s shabby clothes, she knew he must be one of those penniless artists.
She despised this kind of person the most.
They were never willing to use their art to make money. They must be fools.
“Here.”
Since they didn’t believe her, Nina Houry led Robin Bailey to a car parked nearby and patted its hood, saying, “Here, this is the one I drive.”
“…”
The scene fell silent for a moment before laughter erupted. Someone even slapped their leg and laughed, “My God, am I seeing this right? This car must be at least ten years old. Is this a Honda? Hahaha, a Honda!”
“Nina Houry, you come from such a family, but you actually drove a Honda here.”
“I really didn’t expect it-a Honda.”
“I was wondering why there was a Honda among all these luxury cars. It turns out it’s yours. No wonder, this is the only kind of car you’re suited for.”
The crowd laughed and mocked her.
The men mostly didn’t laugh, but some of the women, who had always been jealous of Nina Houry for her being pursued by Zak Cox, took this opportunity to ridicule her.
“I think the Honda is quite nice.”
At this moment, Robin Bailey stepped forward, touching the Honda with interest in his eyes. This was the same Honda he had seen at the racetrack last time. He hadn’t expected the girl to find it and bring it back.
“What’s the use of you thinking it’s nice? Trash is trash. Let me show you my car.”
Hana Gill sneered, took out her car key, and unlocked another luxury car, “See this? Porsche FM6. It goes from zero to 100 meters in just three seconds, way better than your piece of junk. Nina Houry, since you don’t want to ride with us, we won’t force you. Girls, let’s go.”
At school, these girls were almost like a gang.
Some of them had boyfriends too.
With a roar.
Five or six cars left just like that.
The remaining boys asked Nina Houry one after another, but she declined all their offers. Finally, Zak Cox said, “You have my number. If you change your mind, come ride in my BMW.”
He left with a look of affection.
After he left, only Nina Houry and Robin Bailey remained. Nina Houry immediately made a disgusted face, “Ugh, do you know how repulsive Zak Cox is? He clearly has so many girlfriends in private, but he shamelessly pursues me, always saying that he only loves me.”
“I thought you couldn’t see through him.”
Robin Bailey chuckled on the side.
It seemed that his niece was quite smart.
“Are you kidding? I’m Nina Houry, the sister of the president of Landview in Stillwater. But speaking of which, I didn’t expect my sister to be so powerful now. I can live off her like you in the future.”
Nina Houry rubbed her stomach, suppressing the urge to vomit.
Then, she appeared proud of the prospect of living off her sister.
In the past, she could only rely on herself since Elise was just an employee back then. But now, Elise was the renowned president of Landview, and she could boldly depend on her sister.
“At such a young age, and you are already thinking about living off your sister.”
Robin Bailey tapped Nina Houry’s head.
“So what? Do I have to be like you, almost thirty, and only then live off my sister? I had a stomachache yesterday and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I have gastritis and can’t take care of myself anymore. I have no choice, do I?”
Nina Houry glared at Robin Bailey and then continued to act spoiled.
“Me, living off your sister?”
Robin Bailey laughed upon hearing this, but he didn’t explain. No matter what, at least she was his own wife, and he was at peace with that.
“By the way, how did you get this Honda back?”
Robin Bailey looked at the Honda and asked.
Last time, it had been returned, hadn’t it?
“It’s all thanks to you. We won the race last time, didn’t we? We even got the title of Deity of Mount Kory. The shop owner is also a race car enthusiast. After watching that race, he was super excited and gave me this car on the spot.”
“I don’t have a job yet, no money, and I can’t keep asking my sister for it. I also don’t want to ride in other people’s cars, so I can only drive this one.”
Nina Houry pouted, and then pulled Robin Bailey into the car, checking the time, “They’ve been gone for five minutes. Robin, hurry, catch up to them. If you can, I’ll put in some good words for you with my sister.”
“At times like this, I’m just Robin.”
The corner of Robin Bailey’s mouth twitched.
When she didn’t need him, she’d call him a jerk, a scoundrel. When she needed him, she’d call him Robin. This young girl had always been like this.
However, Robin Bailey’s mouth curled into a smirk, “Hold on tight!”
