Chapter 188 Inappropriate
“I’m going home,” said Jared calmly.
“Come in! I’m going in the same direction, so I can send you there.”
While saying that, Maria pushed the car door open.
Furthermore, she pushed open the door of the front seat. In the past, she would never have allowed Jared to sit in her car. Even if she had to, he could only sit in the back seats.
Jared had no idea what Maria was up to again. It was as if she had become someone else!
“Come in!” urged Maria when she saw him standing there motionlessly.
Jared nodded and sat in the front seat.
Maria slammed her foot against the accelerator and drove toward Jared’s house.
Meanwhile, Jared sat silently without saying anything. The atmosphere in the car became slightly awkward.
“Jared, do you really own a mansion at the top of Dragon Bay?”
After a while, Maria broke the silence.
“Yeah.” Jared nodded.
“Did you buy it yourself?” Maria shot a surprised look at him.
“Someone gave it to me,” replied Jared calmly.
Noticing that Jared did not seem to like talking to her, Maria stopped speaking.
After a while, Jared interrupted the silence. “Why aren’t you at home to eat at this time? Where are you driving to?”
“Zayne made a reservation at a restaurant. I’m going to eat with him there and discuss our marriage,” said Maria.
“You’re marrying him?” Jared was taken aback.
“Yeah! We’ve been dating for a long time, and our parents have been hurrying us. Hence, we decided to just get married,” explained Maria.
Jared was silent for a while before saying, “I’d advise you to think about it carefully. Zayne doesn’t suit you…”
Jared said that not because he wanted to take revenge on Zayne for always bullying him. In reality, he had already instructed Tommy to investigate Zayne secretly. That man was a playboy. When he was still dating Maria, he had slept with multiple women.
Although Maria was also quite materialistic, she was still the daughter of his father’s comrade. Jared did not want her to dig her own grave.
However, Maria was not surprised when she heard what Jared said. Smiling, she explained, “Actually, Zayne isn’t as bad as you think he is. He might be quite mean to you, but I’ll try to coax him out of it in the future…”
She had misunderstood Jared. She thought that he was saying all those because Zayne kept targeting him, which made him develop a hatred for Zayne.
When Jared heard that, he had no choice but to smile and stop explaining further.
Soon, when the car was pa*sing through a dim street, a car suddenly in front suddenly blocked them.
Shocked, Maria slammed her feet against the brake and stopped the car. Their cars were inches away from crashing into each other.
“How the hell are you driving? Are you blind?”
Maria rolled down the car windows, craned her neck, and cursed loudly.
However, immediately after she yelled, she quickly withdrew her head fearfully. She had noticed that the car blocking her was a Porsche 911. If they could drive such a car, she would not dare to offend them. Her life would become difficult if she actually provoked them.
At that moment, a man and a woman got out of the Porsche. They were none other than Leyton and Sandy, who stared at Jared with a cold smirk. It did not look like they were planning to leave.
Looking at their intense stares, Maria could not help but feel fearful. She opened the car door, scrambled out of the car, and apologized, “I didn’t do it on purpose. Would you please move your car aside? Why don’t you drive away first?”
Maria spoke in a subservient tone to Leyton.
When the latter glanced at Maria, he saw that she was wearing a pink dress with her hair up in a ponytail. Finding her quite cute, he shot her a few more glances. However, this made Sandy extremely jealous.
