Chapter 30
Now, she wanted to vent all her inner resentment toward him.
You—Richard was a nothing! What was there to be so proud of!
“Hmph, you loser. Get out. If you don’t get out now, I will call the security guard!” The few girls spoke coldly. “This is not the place ... Ah! Xavia, look! Mr. Bale is here!”
They suddenly pointed at the gate excitedly while mocking Richard.
A luxury car stopped by the gate, and a handsome young man in a blue suit came down from the car.
He walked in confidently with one hand in his pocket.
“Mr. Bale!” Several female waitresses waved toward him happily.
On the other hand, Xavia became very reserved and behaved like an elegant lady.
“Xavia, you guys are busy...” Mr. Bale came over and smiled.
“No, we are not busy, Mr. Bale. We are just stopping a loser from getting in just in case he disturbs your father and other people’s meeting inside!” She stood beside Bale as she spoke.
As for Bale, he hugged Xavia’s waist lightly and looked at Richard who was standing at the side.
“Where did you come from? This isn’t a place that you can come into. Get out!” Bale shouted at Richard.
Richard was stunned.
Not because of Bale, but because of Xavia.
It seemed that he had though wrongly of her. He had initially thought that Xavia would become less snobby after that incident.
He had not expected her to get worse.
It was clear now that she had come to the villa because she had bigger fish to fry—wanting to find a rich husband.
Richard initially did not intend to reveal his identity although he heard their ridicule.
He could still give Xavia some face.
But in this case, he did not have to pretend anymore.
“Xavia! There’s one thing that I’ve been hiding from you for a long time. I’ve decided to have a showdown with you today!” Richard smiled slightly.
“Huh? What cards do you have on the table? Don’t tell me that you’ve been faking your identity all along. Are you actually a rich and handsome guy? Hahaha, if that’s the case, I will truly regret it!” Xavia retorted sarcastically as she moved closer to Bale who was standing beside her.
“You’re right. I am a rich second generation. I only learned about it three days after we broke up. I turned out to be a rich second generation and am quite rich. Haha...”
“Hahahaha...” Xavia laughed out loudly.
“Richard, you are unbelievable! I know you have the pride of a man and are very afraid that others will look down on you, but I did not expect you to be so phony. You? A rich second generation?! If so, I’m a rich daughter from a wealthy family!”
“This guy is shameless! How dare he call himself a rich second generation? Didn’t he merely win the lottery?”
“Don’t you know? He may be jealous seeing the beautiful Xavia being favored by Mr. Bale. That’s why he says he is a rich second generation. Maybe he wants to let Xavia change her mind and dump her once again after that. I’ve seen many losers doing this!”
“I am a rich second generation. Xavia, I don’t want to lie to you. Not only I am rich, but seventy percent of the buildings in the entire commercial street are under my name!”
Richard smiled bitterly.
He was telling the truth. Why did they not believe him?!
“Are you crazy? How could the entire Mayberry Commercial Street be yours? Why don’t you go to heaven, then?”
The girls were looking at Richard as if they were looking at a fool.
As for Bale, he was laughing so hard due to Richard’s remarks.
Mayberry Commercial Street? This guy said that it belonged to his family.
Richard smiled bitterly. Right at that moment, his cell phone rang.
The call was from Zack.
“Mr. Richard, have you reached yet?”
“Yes, Zack. I’m in the front hall,” Richard said.
“Ah! Okay, okay. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Henderson from the Bureau of Education are with me. We are coming to meet you there right away! They have long wanted to see you after hearing that you are going to invest in some public welfare projects as well as commercial projects.”
“Uh ... alright!”
Richard had not expected the directors to come so soon, and he hung up the phone after he was done talking.
On the other hand, Mr. Bale and the others were looking at Richard in surprise.
“This loser is acting as though he’s rich. Oh, my gosh! He even called Mr. Zack intimately. People who don’t know the truth may think that he is indeed close to Mr. Zack!” The girls despised him.
“Richard, I didn’t expect you to become like this. To be honest, I am very happy that you have become like this. Look at what’s become of you after leaving me! Haha!”
Meanwhile, Xavia had a different kind of sick pleasure.
She liked seeing Richard being humiliated and ridiculed.
The more miserable Richard was, the more excited Xavia felt.
In this case, it showed that she did make the right decision to leave Richard.
Furthermore, he should be getting worse and worse after being dumped by her!
Just as Xavia was about to call a few security guards in to drive Richard out and was ready to record the scene, a girl standing beside her exclaimed, “Xavia, Mr. Bale, look! Why are there so many people rushing over here?! It seems to be Mr. Zack, right?”
“Yeah! It’s not just Mr. Zack, but also Mr. Harrison and Mr. Henderson. They are all people with big names in Mayberry City. Why are they in such a hurry to come to the front hall? Shit, isn’t that my dad in the back? Why is he running toward here too?!” Bale’s face suddenly turned pale.
His family ran an international trade business.
In the early days, they had started their family business with the investment of Mayberry International Inc. Now, they had become one of the most famous and rich families in Mayberry City, and their status was noble.
