“It’s none of your business whether I’m ashamed! Who do you think you are? What does it have to do with you that I gave the car to Ms. Yale?”
Matteo’s heartbeat raced out of fury as he yelled while spitting.
Benita shook his head, spread his arms, and looked unbothered as he said, “It’s none of my business, of course. I just think you’re contemptible.”
“You…”
Before Matteo could finish speaking, Glenn quickly spoke and stopped him. “Mr. Rocco, this is a Maserati dealership, not the Rocco family’s place. Please watch your language.”
Then Glenn looked at Benita, ready to criticize him.
However, Lola spoke before Glenn could say anything. “That’s right, Matteo. It wouldn’t matter what you said if you were at the Rocco family’s place. But this is a public place. Even if you don’t care about your image, you should take care of the Rocco family’s face.”
Matteo had no intention of refuting Lola when he heard her remark.
He quickly walked up to Lola, forced a smile, and said, “You’re right, Ms. Yale. We are all from rich families. How can we stoop to the level of workers like them?”
Mr. Rocco expected Lola to agree with him.
However, he did not expect Lola to sneer and exclaim, “What worker? Matteo, you’re blind! Mr. Lennon is the owner of East World Hotel and also Dr. Lennon! He cured my grandfather! If you’re rude to him, you’re being rude to me!”
The place fell silent as soon as she said that!
Matteo was dumbfounded. Mr. Ferguson also stunned. The female sales accountant, Lilith, also looked at Cindy in shock.
Lola turned to look at Cindy and Benita, smiled, and said, ”Dr. Lennon and Mr. Young, since Matteo gave me the Maserati, I’ll give it to you. I have a car anyway, and I have no intention of changing it for the time being. I might as well give it to you as a favor.”
“Well, thank you then…” Cindy nodded and said calmly.
Benita looked at Lola with admiration and praised, “Ms. Yale, you’re reasonable, unlike some bullsh*t heir.”
Lola beamed when she heard Benita’s words. However, Matteo had a ghastly expression.
