Chapter 1240 Can’t You Spare Me Some Dignity?
"Because no one will dare to court you!" Vincent declared sternly. Rachel looked at him and saw his cold and stubborn gaze.
She was briefly stunned before scrunching her face in anger. "What are you going to do?"
"I will court you openly. Let's see who dares to compete with me," Vincent said domineeringly, without a sense of shame.
Rachel's expression darkened. "Vincent! Are you insane? Why won't you leave me alone?"
Vincent scrunched his face in anger. He fought against the desire to storm off the car and said coldly, "Rachel, don't you have anything nice to say?"
Rachel widened her eyes furiously. She breathed in deeply to control her anger before turning to him. "Nice? What about you? Everyone knows you're a serial womanizer. Women involved with you are treated with disdain afterward and can never find a decent man. People think there's something wrong with them simply because they dated you! Your philandering ways ruined them! Vincent, you're wealthy and influential, so you don't have to worry about what people think. I'm only an ordinary person and don't get that privilege. Can you not be so selfish?"
Her words angered Vincent so much that he laughed. He did not know what he should say.
Meanwhile, Rachel had not finished venting. She took a deep breath and looked at him coldly. "Godmother left that thing for me. It was never meant for you. Why must you keep fighting with me for it? Since you hate her, why do you insist on taking what she left behind? What does it have to do with you?"
Vincent clenched his fists before relaxing them. He said, "I've told you I don't want it anymore. You can keep it. It's yours."
Rachel snorted and said, "Other than the heirloom, what else could make you humble yourself? You think I believe you?"
"Whether you believe me is your problem. I've already expressed my stance. Rachel, wait, and you shall see."
After saying that, Vincent got up from the backseat and agilely climbed into the driver's seat.
Rachel's expression changed. She immediately tried to open the door, but it would not budge. Seeing Vincent starting the car, she demanded urgently, "Where are you bringing me?"
"We're going to have dinner."
Rachel widened her eyes in shock.
"Are you insane? Didn't I say I don't want to be with you? Even if you're telling the truth, I don't want to go out with you! Who are you to force me to leave with you? I don't want dinner! I only want to go back to my office! Otherwise, I'll get penalized for being absent!"
"Weren't you frequently absent from work?"
Rachel had nothing to say.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before replying angrily, "Can't you see I don't want to be with you?"
I've said so many harsh words to him. Why won't he let me out of the car? Doesn't he feel any shame? How can he not be annoyed?
She felt her blood pressure rising.
Vincent completely ignored Rachel throughout the journey. He pretended not to hear no matter what she said. That prompted Rachel to give up.
She stopped protesting.
Once they arrived at the destination, Vincent turned to Rachel, "We're here."
But Rachel remained in her seat and would not budge. She hated being with Vincent, especially in public places. He was a public figure and desired by who knows how many women. She did not want to be the target of their animosity.
