Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 7

In a split second, the hall fell silent in the George’s Family. With Euan’s words just now, each of the three individuals had a different reaction.

Riley felt as if she was slapped in the face; it was a slap enough to wake her up.

She already knew three years ago that she didn’t belong in the George Family, but she always told herself that everything would be over.

Now, it appeared that both wishful thinking and expectations were unnecessary.

Divorce.

This terrible thought flashed across her mind. Riley had made up her mind in one second – She wanted a divorce!

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

Riley got up from her chair and disappeared around the corner into the bathroom. Then she exhaled the distasteful news she held out with a breath.

She felt as if her heart was congested.

Riley turned on the faucet and stared at her face with light makeup. As she let water run through her hands, she looked at the beautiful young face in the mirror, which now had hints of aging; even the blood strains were visible in her eyes. Just as her tears were about to fall, she tilted her head back to hold it in.

Was she crying over Euan? How foolish was that?

She didn’t know that Hendrix already saw through all her pretense of tenacity and stubbornness.

“My dear sister-in-law, don’t you know to conserve water?”

Riley was startled and looked at the mirror, where another face appeared and their eyes met. She then realized that she took too long in the restroom.

She turned off the faucet and wiped her hands on a paper towel, “Is the George Family, with all your big businesses, concerned over a little running water?”

Hendrix bent a leg and leaned against the wall. He held his arms, and looked at Riley, “Sister-in-law, don’t you know that the richer someone is, the stingier they are?”

Riley was not in a joking mood with this rich spoilt brat. She wanted to pass by Hendrix, but his bent knee blocked the narrow passage. She wore a dress, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to bypass over his leg. She glanced at him, “So not only are rich folks stingy, they enjoy getting in the way?”

Hendrix let out a sly smile at her annoyed face, and kept up his smug attitude, “Sister-in-law, you’re quite funny; you’re so beautiful and a renown doctor from a good background. So why doesn’t brother want you?”

It was better if he said nothing. After his talk, Riley’s surging anger burst out, “Hendrix, what’s between your brother and me is none of your business, now move.”

Hendrix deliberately stood his ground, “Sister-in-law, if you’re unhappy with brother, you can consider divorce. You won’t inherit half his wealth, but I’m sure you’ll still get quite an alimony.”

Riley narrowed her eyes against Hendrix’s provocation. She gritted her teeth, “I said, move!”

Her anger aroused Hendrix’s desire to provoke her even more. His smile widened on his handsome face, his slender arm blocked the passage, his white hand rested on a tile across from him. He had trapped the tiny Riley completely!

“Sister-in-law, if brother saw us like this, do you think he’d file for divorce right away?”

Riley’s eyes widened and she clenched her fists. Then, the anger in her eyes suddenly turned into a cold laugh. “Uncle, if brother saw you flirting with his wife, do you think he’d shoot you on the spot?”

Hendrix snarled and let down his arm, “Tsk, I was just starting to think you were entertaining, and now you’re all serious again; no fun at all.”

“If you’re looking for someone fun, you’re looking at the wrong person.”

Hendrix let out a smile, “Sister-in-law, you’re not still angry at me, are you? I really didn’t know it was you earlier in the day.”

Riley didn’t want to play along with him, “Hmm, what happened in the day? I forgot.”

“Good, ignorance is bliss, not bad, not bad.”

With his hand gone, Riley held her dress and walked out.

After watching Riley leave, Hendrix turned to look at himself in the mirror. His lips let out a slight smile. Interesting, very interesting!

It looked like his return wasn’t in vain.

At last, the awkward family dinner came to an end.

Riley and Euan no longer showed the level of affection they had before. They left the George Family mansion separately. Outside, it was freezing cold, and Riley rub her arms several times to keep warm.

As the chauffeur opened the car door, Riley looked at Euan, who didn’t show any response. Riley let out a cold smile, “We’re not heading the same direction, you go ahead.”

Euan's voice was even deeper and sexier with the bristling cold wind, "Get in the car."

The corner of Riley’s mouth arched upward, “The dinner’s over, there’s no need to keep up the act, Mr. George.”

Whenever she addressed him like that, he has the urge to rip her apart. This ungrateful woman!

He stared at her sharply, his dark eyes were filled with impatience.

“Don’t make me say it a third time, get in the car.”

A car door stood between the two of them. Euan’s tall figure was imposing in the night. Riley felt that, if she continued to resist, he would definitely take extreme measures to make her obey. She wasn’t stubborn to that point yet.
