Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 2

The security guards quickly cleared the scene and chased the reporters out, “Dr Watson, sorry for the inconvenience caused due to our negligence.”

Riley smiled coldly, “Don’t worry about it. But we should be more careful not to disturb the VIP patient’s rest.”

From that, the security guards immediately knew that the patient in the room was a notable person. They thanked Riley for informing them on time.

The crowd dispersed and it was quiet again. Lydia sneered, “Riley, how capable of you. I see that you’re the boss around here.”

Riley scoffed, “This is the difference between being actually capable and someone who’s sole merit is their face.”

Lydia said proudly, “Are you jealous? Is it hurting your low self-esteem? No matter what, the person standing next to Euan is me right now. The one who’s going to be with him and take care of his every need, including his sexual needs…will be ultimately me as well.”

She dragged out her tone and said the word “sexual needs” sensually.

She wanted to rile Riley up!

Riley jeered, “Oh you sure did a great job taking care of him, he even got admitted to the hospital because his stomach was bleeding from excessive alcohol. Lydia, you’re really capable!”

Lydia gritted her teeth, she didn’t think that she would dig her own grave, “Riley! Don’t be so full of yourself. One day, I’ll make you regret everything, and you’ll kneel before me, begging for my forgiveness!”

She then stomped on the ground with her high heels.

“Well, I’ll be waiting, Miss Big Wig,” Riley scorned at her without mincing her words.

Riley took large strides and went into the VIP patient’s room.

She moved quickly, efficiently and accurately.

Lydia clenched her teeth and fists. Riley, that bitch!

She stomped in her heels and leapt onto the bed ahead of Riley. She cried out achingly, “Euan, I came here directly from the set after I got the phone call. I was so worried, what happened? Why is your stomach bleeding? “

Riley was disgusted at Lydia’s coquettish and flighty tone of voice.

It was aggravating!

Euan sat on the bed without any expression on his face, “Go back if you’re busy.”

Riley smiled, Lydia was possibly in the same boat with her, not being able to get on Euan’s good side.

But Lydia was different, she wasn’t going to back down just from that. She was persistent, or perhaps thick-skinned.

“Oh no, I’m just saying. And also you are more important than my work. Does your stomach still hurt? Let me rub the pain away…” Lydia reached out her hand and was about to touch his stomach.

So shameless.

Riley didn’t care how her man and his mistress went about behind her back, but she couldn’t let them do lovey-dovey stuff right under her nose!

Riley stopped hesitating, she walked up and smiled disdainfully at Lydia in her white lab coat. She was being aggressive.

“Miss Saunders, please move your hand away.”

Riley said extremely coldly.

Lydia felt uncomfortable and she stopped what she was doing. She crossed her arms and snickered, “I was wondering who it is, but it’s just you, the great Dr Watson.”

Riley looked at her scornfully, “There’s more to that. I’m his wife, Miss Saunders.”

She claimed sovereignty and Lydia had a horrid look on her face.

If it was only Euan in the room, Riley wouldn’t ever say something like this.

Euan frowned, he didn’t agree nor disagree.

His indifference riled Lydia up and she provoked Riley vehemently, “Wife? Dr Watson, I don’t know any husbands and wives that live separately after getting married, nor that I know any wives who cannot bear her husband a single child even after 3 years.”

She was lashing out at Riley, saying mean and disdainful words to Riley to make her look bad.

Riley subconsciously glanced at Euan. He was indifferent and didn’t say any word.

She should’ve known better. Why did she think that he would help her by saying something?

It had been three years and she should be used to it by now.

She was used to it, and she shouldn’t hope for anything anymore.

“Wow, I didn’t know that you are so familiar with my life story, Miss Saunders. Though, I must kindly remind you that no matter what, I’m still his official wife on paper. And you, you are just a mistress who can never be presented in public.”

What Riley said triggered Lydia and Lydia’s rage and hatred towards Riley was about to overflow. Three years ago or today, she couldn’t win against Riley.

This time, Riley managed to slightly provoke her, and Lydia was about to lose control.

Riley thought to herself, “Lydia never learned.”

Lydia snickered, “So what? Euan doesn’t love you anyway. As you said, you’re just a wife on paper! What you are proud of?”

Riley clenched her fist in her pocket. What Lydia said was true and to Riley, the truth was an unspeakable pain. Her heart ached as if Lydia had ripped open her abdomen, and then grasped and squeezed her heart mercilessly!

For the past three years, she and Euan were husband and wife on paper. Other than him getting drunk and forcefully had sex with her during their first night together after the wedding, they never spent much time together in the same room. Even if they were to, it always ended with them arguing.

Technically she was Mrs George, but she was basically a widow for the last three years.

But Riley wasn’t going to fall into Lydia’s trap. She pondered briefly and smiled coolly, “True, it’s just on paper. But in the end, you can only look at me from afar, and cast your greedy eyes on my man and my position as his wife. After all, I am Mrs George and not you.”

Riley said it all out nonchalantly, not even putting on any airs. It was obvious that Lydia had lost this round.

But Lydia pulled out her ultimate weapon, she held Euan’s arm and cried crocodile tears, “Euan, look at her, she is so shameless! She is still so obsessed with you even though she knows that you don’t like her!”

Riley grimaced.

A crying face and some tears, a simple yet lethal weapon of a pretty woman. Unfortunately, it was something that Riley could never do. She wasn’t bothered to pull such a stunt.

Even if her heart broke into million pieces, even if she was in utter despair, and even if she was so anguished that she was in agony, she would still never shed a tear in front of Euan.

Euan looked at Lydia and he gave Riley the side-eyes, “Leave.”

His word slashed her heart like a sharp knife. He told her to leave?!

How dare he protect his mistress in this situation? Did he still remember that she was his wife?

Right, she was only a wife on paper. She was just an ornament. He would take her out during the festive seasons and put her on display, after that she would be forgotten and get tucked into a box.

Riley held her temper as she cringed. She smiled craftily, “Leave? Well, you are my patient, and I am the doctor who is in charge of you. I need to examine your wounds and the idlers are the ones who should leave the room right now.”

Riley was obviously talking about Lydia.

They were best friends three years ago, Riley even almost died to save her. But the whole time Lydia was plotting to seduce her man and making her a common target for scorn.

Lydia acted as nothing had happened, but Riley couldn’t.
