On the way back to hotel, Annabel wore an angry expression. She clenched her fists tightly and kicked the stones away from time to time, venting her anger.
"Casey, you're bad and stupid! You wretch! Am I so terrible? I just want you to accompany me in the hotel for one night. Why do you act as if I would do something to you?"
"I just want to secretly follow you to the bathroom, flirt with you there and do something we should at night. Is that terrible? You should directly refuse! You piss me off!"
Annabel spoke to herself. When she thought of Casey's cold expression, she got angry.
"Humph, it doesn't matter. There's still a lot of time. I'll stay with you all the time. I can definitely find a chance to do that."
When she was lowering her head and trying to find stones on the ground, two people suddenly blocked her way.
Annabel stopped and looked up at them, finding that a man and a woman were standing there.
"What do you want to do?" Annabel asked while staring at them.
The man immediately smiled and asked, "Girl, are you a friend of Casey and Edith? Was it you that treated them to a meal in the Crescent Hotel today?"
"Yes. Who are you?" Annabel looked at them with a puzzled expression, feeling a little suspicious.
"To be honest, I'm Edith's distant relative. The reason why we come to you is that we want to tell you that Casey and Edith are completely frauds. Don't be fooled by them."
It was Rowan that spoke to Annabel. The woman beside him was naturally Rosa. Before, when they watched Casey challenge Mylo in the square, they guessed that this woman, who was as beautiful as a fairy, knew Casey and Edith. They also guessed that it was her that treated Casey and Edith to a meal in the Crescent Hotel.
They speculated that Casey and Edith got a room on the top floor of The Pearl to get to know some powerful people. In their opinion, Annabel was a friend Casey and Edith got to know on the top floor of The Pearl.
When they saw that Casey defeated Mylo in the arm-wrestling match and that Casey exposed the fact that Mylo cheated in the match, they were naturally extremely astonished. However, in their view, even if Casey won, it was still not a good thing. In their opinion, when Casey did all those things, he had offended the young master of the Chan family. And the young master of the Chan family would certainly not let him off.
When they thought that the young master of the Chan family would give Casey and Edith a lesson, Rowan and Rosa were a little happy. Believing that they should stop a beauty like Annabel from being fooled, they followed Annabel to this place.
Annabel was somewhat speechless. She looked at them and thought that they were seemingly a little mad.
"Well, why do you claim that they are frauds?" Annabel asked while staring at Rowan.
Rowan said with a smile, "If I'm not wrong, you should get to know them on the top floor of The Pearl. They did get a room on the top floor of The Pearl, but they're actually very poor. They spent all the money they had on getting a room on the top floor to get to make friends with people like you."
"Edith's from a family in a small place called J City. Her family is somewhat related to my family, but it's not very powerful and is far from as powerful as my family is. I'm afraid that Edith can't even make 6000 dollars a month."
"Casey is even worse. He's a well-known loser in J City, being unable to do anything. He always does housework at home, and is being cursed by his wife's mother every day. They're not eligible to make friends with you."
Hearing that, Annabel smiled. When she collected the information about Casey, she had known what he told her. However, she knew that Casey had just pretended to be a loser. After all, she also knew how Casey dealt with Sasha and Margaret.
Now, in J City, no one dared to say that Casey was a loser. People who had taunted him were all anxious to flatter him.
