“Whoa! Listen to his bragging! I've never heard of anyone having a coughing fit after drinking cheap wine!”
“Why are you acting all high and mighty when you're merely an ex-convict? You've probably never even drank Sauvignon Blanc!”
“I really can't stand listening to him anymore! It's hurting my ears!”
When the crowd heard Jared's comment, they all went into an uproar.
Michelle snickered disdainfully before saying to Hilda, “Look at your boyfriend, Hilda! What a weirdo! Never mind if he's poor, but he's acting as though he's rich!”
Hilda ignored her though she, too, didn't quite understand what was going on with Jared that day.
“Jared, if my eyes serve me right, you drive a Ford, right? These few bottles of wine might even be enough to buy your car.
Why are you still keeping up the charade?”
Lincoln questioned with a smirk.
It wasn't until after hearing his remark did the others notice a Ford car key at Jared's waistband.
“I'm just supportive of local products. I've got a Bentley, but I don't like to drive it,” Jared clarified mildly.
I can drive Tommy's Bentley anytime. Besides, the entire Templar Regiment is mine, let alone a carlPffi!
Lincoln had just taken a sip of water when he spurted it out after hearing that.
“Hahaha! In all my years, I've never seen someone so calm and unruffled while blowing his own trumpet. You're something else! You've got a Bentley? I bet you've never even seen one, have you?”
Lincoln doubled over in laughter, laughing so hard that he was snorting.
Everyone else guffawed as well, convulsing with laughter. Some even laughed so hard that tears trickled out of their eyes.
“I'm nothing compared to you. I've never seen someone who can still be so calm and unruffled, even feigning generosity by offering to treat everyone to a meal after swindling a woman!” Jared countered with a cold chuckle.
The smile on Lincoln's face vanished at once, to be replaced by a grim expression the instant he heard that.
