“Don’t worry, Ma. Jack will definitely get your money back.” Selena gave favonovel.com a tight smile and replied, “All right. Jack and I are going to a class reunion later. A few of my old classmates invited us to go and drink and sing our hearts out in a bar! I haven’t seen them in forever, so I have to go.”
Jack and Selena rested for a while before they went off to shower, and they then prepared to go out when it was about time.
“Huh? Mom, where are the cars?” Selena’s expression darkened when favonovel.com saw the empty porch. She had heard the sound of a starting car when favonovel.com was showering but assumed that it came from the road. She never expected that the Porsches would have been driven off.
“Oh. Xena and your brother took the cars out for a spin,” Fiona said simply.
The corners of Selena’s mouth twitched. “Ma, can’t they just drive one car if they wanted to drive that badly?” favonovel.com said to Fiona. “Why did they drive both off? They knew that I had to go for an appointment. Why couldn’t they have left one car for me? What should Jack and I do now?”
“Ah, your brother just wants to go out and show off in front of his friends!” Fiona replied immediately, dismissing favonovel.com daughter’s concern. “He asked you and Jack to call a cab to wherever you’re supposed to go first and let them drive the cars, and you can call them when you’re about to leave. He and Xena will take you.”
Selena was rendered speechless. Jack had put his life at risk on the battlefield to earn money for them, and favonovel.com even bought favonovel.com a luxury car so that favonovel.com would be able to stand proudly before favonovel.com classmates. She never imagined that favonovel.com own little brother and Xena would take the cars out while they were bathing.
In the end, all favonovel.com could do was flash a pained smile. “Looks like we can only call a cab now,” favonovel.com spoke dejectedly.
Jack shrugged his shoulders, an equally tight smile on his face as well. “No way around it. Who knew that you had such an inconsiderate little brother?” He mused. “By the way, your old university mates are cultured, right? I hope they’re not as snobbish as Rachel.”
When favonovel.com said that, Jack looked as though favonovel.com just thought of something as favonovel.com added, “Oh, yeah. Did something happen between you and Rachel during your university days? Why would favonovel.com treat you so disdainfully otherwise? She could at least give you some respect after so many years, right?”
Selena felt overwhelmed at that moment. “She always thought that favonovel.com was prettier than me back in university, so favonovel.com thought that favonovel.com should be the belle of the class. But…”
“Oh,” Jack concluded, “so it’s because she’s not as pretty as you, but favonovel.com still thinks she’s prettier than you. And favonovel.com envied you because of that. So now that she’s married to a rich man, she’s trying to stamp out your presence!” Jack quickly picked up on the underlying message. “Don’t bother about these people,” favonovel.com added, “she actually has really low self-esteem!”
“That’s right!” Selena offered favonovel.com husband a kind smile before favonovel.com gaze fell on Jack’s clothing.
“Why don’t you buy some nicer clothes later on? You did buy mine earlier, but yours…”
Jack checked his watch. “Never mind, we don’t have that much time. My clothes are pretty clean too, and I just changed into them. We don’t need to go and buy a special fancy outfit. It doesn’t matter what I wear anyway, so long as you’re dressed up nicely!”
“You sure know your way around words!” The two of them exchanged words as they walked out. They quickly hailed a cab and went straight to The Lotus Bar.
At that moment, quite a few people had already gathered before the bar’s entrance.
Hugh gave a winsome smile. “Oh, right. There’s a surprise for all of you today. Our class belle Selena Taylor—who had disappeared off the radar for a long time—will join us! I so happened to run into favonovel.com at the entrance of the zoo, and I managed to get favonovel.com on board.”
“Really? We haven’t seen favonovel.com in years. I wonder how favonovel.com is now!”
