Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 26

The ornamental lights in JD City began to light up and the flashing neon lights were everywhere. The lights on the outer walls of high-rise buildings were changing into seven colours continuously and t. The beautiful lights and scenery were highlighting the prosperity of the city.

“Riley, don’t pull a long face, it isn’t worth being angry with a bitch like Lydia! That kind of bitch will definitely be given a lesson by others. You just need to take your responsibility to act as a beauty!”

Riley twitched her lips, cut a small piece of steak, and sent it into her mouth, “What the hell you’re saying.”

“Now is the time to eat and drink. So don’t think about it anymore. In my view, the matter that Lydia is pregnant may not be a bad thing for you. Euan has always rejected to divorce you. Since Lydia is already pregnant now, what excuse can he use to not let you go? Humph!”

Sarah bit the steak forcefully in anger as if she was biting an enemy that she detested a lot. Riley was the one who was bullied but Sarah was even more angry and agitated.

Riley poked the food on the plate with the fork, would Euan really agree to divorce because of Lydia’s matter?

Riley was very clear about the reason why Euan insisted not to divorce. That was because he wanted to keep her in the position of the young female owner of the George family to confine her freedom, deprive her of the right to strive for happiness, and also to torture her using this kind of method to let her watch him being in a good relationship with another woman.

The so-called “experiencing widowhood although the husband is still alive” was what she was facing now.

“If I can really divorce successfully, I’ll definitely ensure Lydia’s child is safe in her belly.” Riley poked a large piece of steak with the fork and bit it hard.

“Good! This is how the person by the name of Riley should be! Isn’t it just Lydia? Isn’t it just Euan who’s icy-cold? What’s the problem? Let me tell you, good men are everywhere, you can easily find one!”

Bah!

“Like the one at the Royal Club last time? Come on, that scum is totally not like a good man.”

“Oh, everyone will be unfamiliar at the first time but they will be skilful at the second time. I’ll bring you to attend a few more events to meet more people. You will then naturally learn how to distinguish between scum and a good man!”

Riley did not express her opinion and just pursed her lips, smiling. It was just nice that her gaze fell on the glass revolving door of the restaurant. Outside the transparent glass door, five to six men in a suit suddenly came over and a tall figure was in the middle of the men…

Euan, who was very tall, was surrounded by several middle-aged men. He was looking at the front coldly and solemnly. The men on the right and left were apparently also bowing themselves to curry favour with him. There was not even a trace of emotion in Euan’s indifferent expression. He simply uttered a few perfunctory words after the people next to him said a lot.

Those executives who heard Euan’s response also nodded and smiled. Their looks of giving flatteries and curry favouring were extremely disgusting.

Seeing Euan suddenly stepping into the room, Riley’s heartbeat abruptly quickened and the force used by her hands to hold the fork and knife also increased slightly. Her gaze remained on him without moving away.

She never expected that she would meet him there!

Thinking of Lydia’s importunate behaviour at the hospital during the day and mother-in-law’s reprimand on the phone, Riley’s face turned blue. If Euan saw her and said something else that could hurt her, she was not sure that she could still sleep soundly today.

“Riley? What are you looking at?” Seeing that Riley's eyes were staring blankly at something, Sarah waved her hand in front of Riley’s eyes, prompting her to quickly regain her presence of mind.

Riley’s presence of mind was abruptly regained. She hurriedly covered up her emotion just now. If Sarah saw Euan, she would perhaps take the initiative to help her vent her anger. How could Sarah win Euan? She was defeated within minutes last time.

“Nothing, I’m full, let’s leave here.” Riley put down the knife and fork. The best way now was to quickly leave this place.

“What, I have just eaten a bit, you eat some more.” Only a small corner of the steaks in their plates was eaten. Sarah was not willing to leave.

And now, even if Riley wanted to leave, she also could not do so anymore.

Euan was walking towards them!

Euan, who was already annoyed by the business partners, slightly raised his head and saw the thin figure that was sitting beside the window. The woman was hanging her head and some of her shoulder-length hair was hung in front of her chest. The crystal chandelier was emitting a charming shimmer above her head.

With a light white shirt, clean and ravishing cheeks, and side-face that was shown while dining quietly, there was a kind of indescribable tranquillity around her.

When Riley looked up again, Euan had already been squeezed by several people to a large table of six at their left side. Euan sat in the main seat while the other people were holding menus and could not help talking about the business matter.

Their voices were low so it was not clearly audible. However, it always seemed like Euan’s low and deep voice was echoing in the air. He seldom spoke and his short sentences always flew to her ears as if the words had wings. His tone was so pleasant to be heard that it was totally different from those middle-aged men’s flattering laughter.

Even Sarah who was lowering her head to have food also noticed the abnormality in the air. She could not help but raise her head to look around. Then…she was startled!

Not far away, Euan’s slender figure was sitting on the sofa with his long legs crossed. His handsome face looked icy-cold and he was gazing coldly at a man who was reporting the work matter to him.

The piece of steak that was put into Sarah’s mouth just now dropped.

“How…how could it be?” Sarah’s entire body quivered in fear. Despite criticizing so much about how Euan was and what had he done, Sarah’s mind became blank after seeing Euan.

Riley covered one side of her face with her hand and lowered her head, “Don’t look at there, we must find a chance to leave here later.”

Sarah nodded absentmindedly, “Okay.”

“Mr. George?” The man, who reported a large string of data to Euan just now yet did not get any reply from him even after a long time, reminded cautiously.

The other people there also noticed that Euan seemed a little distracted. So, they repeated the words uttered just now in twos and threes.

Euan did not directly look at the table over there as the action of directly looking at a woman who was dining obviously did not match what his personality was. However, when his eyes sagged, the figure that annoyed him kept lingering in his mind.

“The earnings gained in this quarter can’t be used as an overall reference. Mr. Chapman, you need to provide a statement of earnings for two years, the board of directors of MBK will evaluate it carefully after that.”

Euan responded faintly with an indifferent attitude but the content of his words hit the nail on the head. The people there not only doubted whether Euan had listened to their proposals but also marvelled that Euan’s acumen was really extraordinary.

After dealing with the inquiry, Euan looked at the window both intentionally and unintentionally. Riley and Sarah had taken their bags on the sofa and were bowing their bodies, preparing to leave.
