Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Chantelle and Tony left, the Murphy family was getting ready to disperse.
Clarence stopped Kaysen. “The ten million dollars entrance fee!
“Plus the other five million you promised!”
Kaysen snarled, “Clarence, are you out of your mind?
“Do you have any idea how much money you’ve cost me with what you’ve done?
“With the loan delayed for another three days, I’ve lost a lot more than fifteen million… yet you’re still asking me for money?”
Clarence frowned. “You promised me the money. Besides, what do I have to do with the loan delay anyway?”
Kaysen was a little mad. “You think it has nothing to do with you? Would all of this have happened if it wasn’t for you? Get out of my way! The money’s gone. F*ck off!”
The family members who were leaving turned back to look at Clarence.
“Clarence, what are you doing? Kaysen has business to deal with back at the office. Get out of his way!” snapped Armstrong.
“Hmph!”
Kaysen grunted coldly and left, stomping past Clarence.
Clarence looked at Armstrong helplessly. “Dad, Kaysen agreed to the fifteen million.”
Armstrong looked back at Clarence coldly. “Who cares if he agreed to it? If it wasn’t for you, Kaysen’s loan would have been approved already. Consider the fifteen million repayment for all the trouble you’ve caused.”
Without another glance at Clarence, Armstrong flung back his sleeves and walked away.
Clarence helplessly walked out of the Murphy family door to head back home. Suddenly, his phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
“Hello?”
“Lil Bro, why hang up on me and block me?” Cecilia’s voice was at the other end of the line.
Clarence felt a little awkward. “Cecilia, my wife…”
“I knew it. Your wife! She won’t let you see me, right?” Cecilia snorted coldly.
“Yes, Miranda said she’d divorce me if I ever saw you again.” Clarence sighed resignedly.
Cecilia shook her head in amusement as she spoke. “What a double standard, that b*tch!”
“Cecilia, what do you mean?”
“What do I mean?” Cecilia sneered. “Lil Bro, come here and see for yourself. I’m at the largest Walker Street in Mediterranean City. I was just shopping with my girlfriends.
“Guess who I saw?
“I saw your wife.
“She’s here shopping with an unknown man! Come and see for yourself!”
“What? No way, Miranda should be at work right now.” Clarence trembled.
“It’s up to you whether you believe me or not.”
Cecilia hung up right away.
Still not wanting to believe it, Clarence called Miranda with trembling fingers.
“Hello?”
“What’s the matter?” Miranda’s side of the line was a little noisy.
“Dear, where are you?” asked Clarence.
Miranda was impatient. “Where else? I’m at work. What do you want?”
“Nothing.”
“Why call me then? You’re crazy!” Miranda hung up the phone a little agitatedly.
Clarence’s heart sank completely.
He had clearly heard cars nearby and a man’s voice.
Miranda was definitely not in her office, but at Walker Street.
Clarence took a deep breath, hailed a taxi, and headed for the largest Walker Street in Mediterranean City.
Half an hour later, he arrived.
“Cecilia, where did you see Miranda?” Clarence called Cecilia back.
“I’ll send you my location. I even sent away my girlfriends and I’ve been following the two of them. Come over.” Cecilia sent her location to Clarence.
Clarence went to the place, and found Cecilia.
Cecilia was dressed stylishly. She wore a casual suit and large sunglasses, and she was carrying a Louis Vuitton handbag worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“Cecilia,” greeted Clarence.
Cecilia was still a little angry. “Hmph! Did you block me just because your wife asked you to?”
Clarence was a little embarrassed.
“Here, see for yourself.” Cecilia pointed not too far away.
He could see Miranda sitting on a bench with a cup of milk tea in her hand, talking and laughing with a young man.
With all the traffic around her, Miranda did not notice Clarence.
“Miranda!” Clarence’s face paled.
Cecilia sneered. “See? This woman has a double standard when it comes to what you can do, and what she can do!
“She’s married, yet she’s dating some random man behind her husband’s back!”
Clarence was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Miranda as she continued to laugh and talk with the man, and he pulled out his phone slightly unwillingly.
He hoped desperately that he had mistaken her for someone else.
What if he was looking at someone who just looked a lot like Miranda?
Clarence pulled out his phone and called Miranda.
“Hello? What else do you want?” Miranda’s tone was filled with impatience.
“Miranda… where… are you?” Clarence’s voice was trembling.
“I told you, I’m at work!” Miranda hung up the phone abruptly.
Clarence closed his eyes and silently turned to leave.
He could now confirm that the woman on the bench was truly Miranda.
“F*ck!”
Cecilia grabbed Clarence.”You’re leaving already? You’re a wimp! Come on, let’s confront her!”
