Chapter 615 Convince Your Dad
“Wait for me, Oscar!” Cassie, who had been waiting outside the cafe, chased after him once again.
However, she was stopped before she could even get close to Oscar.
“Ms. Yard, you should leave now,” Hugo said.
Cassie was enraged when glared at him. She then raised her hand and wanted to slap Hugo across the face. To her dismay, Hugo grabbed her hand before she could land her strike.
“Ms. Yard, please contain your emotions. Women should have some dignity and not opt for violence.” Hugo held her hand and shoved her into a taxi he’d hailed for her earlier on. He then said to the chauffeur, “Mister, please send her to 33 Hillside Avenue.”
Upon receiving a hundred from Hugo, the chauffeur nodded happily. “Don’t worry, Sir! I’ll make sure she arrives there on time!”
As the chauffeur was driving away, Cassie was utterly infuriated.
“Stop the car! I need to get off!” she fumed.
“Miss, you should stop throwing a fit at your boyfriend. Personally, I think you two look like a match made in heaven! Just let him calm himself down before getting him to apologize to you, okay? If you go back to him now, a fight is surely going to happen!” the chauffeur advised kindly.
“I told you to stop the car! Are you deaf?” Cassie got even angrier by then.
“Miss, since you’re such a pretty girl, you should control your temper. In fact, it’s better for women to act more gently.”
Hearing that, Cassie’s anger had reached a breaking point. I shouldn’t meddle with this idiot for too long. After figuring out her plan, she managed to calm herself down.
She then whipped out two hundred from her purse and said, “Mister, the man you saw just now is my ex-boyfriend. I love him dearly, but his parents had forced us to separate. After that, they’d even found him a new girlfriend. I can’t afford to lose him. If you can let me off, I’ll pay you two hundred.”
When the chauffeur saw the money offered, he accepted it unhesitatingly. He’d even asked, “Do you want me to send you back?”
“That’s unnecessary. You can let me off right here.”
The chauffeur was over the moon. I’ve just gotten three hundred from doing nothing! What a pleasant surprise!
When Cassie finally got out of the car, she memorized the taxi’s license plate and called the taxi’s company to complain about the chauffeur.
After she was done complaining, she held her phone tightly in her palm in anger. At that moment, she could feel anger welling up in her chest, and she almost choked with anger.
In a fit of rage, she kicked the tree by the roadside repetitively. However, she was spotted by the policemen on duty, and they lectured her.
Cassie got even more infuriated at that. Can things get any worse? What’s with my luck?
After much effort to send the police away, Cassie got so angry that she rang Jennifer immediately. “Are you free, Jennifer? Let’s meet now. I’ll wait for you at the foot spa next to the business center.” With that, she hung up the phone before Jennifer could utter a word in response.
About one hour later, Jennifer finally showed up in her high heels. She then tossed aside her LV bag worth over ten thousand casually and tousled her curled hair before asking, “What’s the matter? Why did you ask me out in such a hurry?”
“I’ve failed,” Cassie answered.
Perplexed, Jennifer asked, “Failed? What?”
“Our plan failed! Oscar didn’t even bother to spare me a glance. He said I’m defective, and no matter how I act, I could never measure up to the real deal,” Cassie replied in a defeated tone.
Hearing that, Jennifer’s gaze darkened, and she seemed to be deep in her thoughts. Generally speaking, every man cheats! Could it be that Oscar isn’t interested in women anymore?
“Say something, Jennifer! Back then, you assured me I can definitely win Oscar’s heart.” Cassie was getting agitated.
Jennifer threw a slightly disdainful glance at her and said, “Cassie, you’ve got to be patient. Not only are Oscar and Amelia deeply in love now, but they also have a son pulling them toward each other. Since men are all fascinated by new toys, do you think you can win him back so easily, considering that you’re his ex-girlfriend?” Jennifer pointed out the truth blatantly.
Cassie instantly felt dispirited. “What’s your suggestion, then?”
“Just bear with it for now.”
Upon hearing that, Cassie looked at her in puzzlement.
“The thing is, Oscar is too outstanding. Hence, he’s arrogant and proud by nature. However, once his heart is swayed, he’d usually be fully committed to it. It won’t be easy for you to destroy his relationship with Amelia. In the meantime, you just need to bear with it and play the long game. Even if you can’t win Oscar back, you can still annoy the heck out of Amelia,” Jennifer uttered nonsense with a straight face.
Hearing that, Cassie looked at her skeptically and queried, “Jennifer, are you messing with me?”
