Chapter 124
However, Layne had heard everything clearly.
“Hahaha, Lila, you’re right. As expected of my best friend. Our minds are in sync!”
Jane patted Lila’s head in admiration.
Even Lila could tell the nature of Layne at a glance.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.
“Cherish your life and stay away from a narcissistic guy. Janie, let’s bounce.”
Lila and Jane were thinking the same thing.
Lila didn’t know Layne.
Neither did she know the special relationship between him and Jane.
But she was disgusted by Layne’s ***.
“When I looked at him just now, he gazed up at the ceiling melancholically.
“Come on, does he think he’s some kind of super idol shooting a movie?”
If Lila wasn’t a classy lady, she would have punched Layne’s ***face which was an eyesore to her.
However, everyone was so happy that night. Even if they asked the security guards to take Layne away, it would still spoil their moods. Therefore, she figured they might as well leave.
“Sure. Drive my car. Let’s go to the mountain to see the stars.”
Jane said as she dragged Lila away.
Layne was surprised.
“After you two took turns calling me names, you want to run away?
“No way!”
Layne immediately stood up and stopped Jane.
“Great barkers are no biters. Get out of our ways.”
Lila said angrily.
She knew the narcissistic man would not let them off the hook so easily.
He must be captivated by Janie’s beauty.
“Jane, you and this woman humiliated me just now. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?” Layne tried his best to control his temper.
His privileged upbringing prevented him from yelling and losing control.
Even so, he was gnashing his teeth while speaking to Jane.
Anger welled up in his chest and he was about to explode.
“Humiliate you?”
Jane laughed.
“You want to admit that?”
“You… admit what? What do you mean? You just…”
“I didn’t mention your name, did I? Layne, you’re from the Croft family after all. Why are you so eager to label yourself as a narcissist?”
Jane’s silver tongue rendered Layne speechless.
He didn’t even know how to refute her.
Jane was simply telling the truth.
She really had not mentioned Layne’s name.
But that remark was obviously directed at him.
If Layne continued to pursue the matter, he would really label himself as Mr. Narcissist.
Jane was very popular in Nightshade Bar now.
There were not many people drinking near them, but when the customers heard their argument, they all looked at Jane.
“Hey, Peter, your sister has really gotten into a fight with Layne… Peter?”
Larry was waiting for a good show.
But Peter had already gotten up and rushed out of the VIP room.
He moved so fast that even Larry couldn’t stop him.
“This guy… seriously, he can’t wait to get humiliated.”
Larry could not help but frown.
Even if Peter rushed out to help Jane deal with Layne, Jane would not appreciate his kindness.
She might even sneer at him.
Who asked Peter to owe her so much?
As Peter’s buddy, Larry was afraid that something would happen to him, so he immediately went after him.
Lila snorted. “The Croft family? Janie, have you mistaken him for someone else? He’s from the Croft family? He can’t compare to Hugh Croft at all.”
Lila didn’t know Hugh very well.
But they had met a few times.
Compared to Hugh, Layne was simply a pile of ***.
Detestable and off-putting.
He was worlds apart from Hugh.
“You!”
Layne gritted his teeth grimly.
He ***it the most when others compared him with Hugh and deemed him the laser.
Especially when a complete stranger like Lila did that.
“It’s none of your business!”
“Layne!”
Just then, Peter rushed over.
He glared at Layne, shielding Lila and Jane behind him.
