Chapter 179 A Phone Ring of Bummer
But then Theodore paid the price for what he had said-he was driven out of the car.
Standing alone on the street, he saw the car fading away from his sight.
Shit!
Oscar! You little bastard!
He actually dumped him on the street for the sake of Hannah!
Just a few hours ago, Theodore even searched around every corner of the city to get him a bouquet of
rose!
Bros before hoes, man!
Theodore felt like getting irritated.
He took out his phone and was about to call for his chauffeur. But then he stopped to dial another
number.
Long after, the line was connected.
"Hey, Theodore, what's up?"
"Where are you?"
"I am coding on my computer at home." Answered Manuel.
"What a Nerd!" Theodore teased.
Manuel smiled, "Hey, what are you calling for?"
He didn't seem to get annoyed by Theodore's teasing.
"Come to drink with me."
"But I gotta finish coding…"
"Hey, cut the crap! It's on me tonight!" Theodore's voice sounded a bit aggressive. Then he continued,
"You just broke up with your girlfriend, right? You gotta vent it out!"
Actually, it had been a long time since Manuel got crossed in love.
"Send me your location! I am gonna pick you up!" Theodore requested. Then he hung up the phone.
Manuel accepted his 'invitation' resignedly.
As the youngest among the three of them, he had been resigned during the friendship.
After saving the code, he got himself changed and went out.
As soon as he reached the gate, he saw a car coming over.
Manuel hurried to dodge out of instinct.
Surrounded by darkness, he could hardly notice the car coming.
Then he saw Henry get off the car, who walked over to the other side to open the door for Susan.
Susan got off the car, with Henry holding her hand to walk her into the mansion.
The two looked reluctant to depart from each other at the gate.
"Hey, just get back to have a sleep. Our wedding will be coming next month." Henry said to her kindly.
"I wanna spend every minute with you." Susan couldn't help nudging into his arms.
Smiling, Henry hugged her tight, "Me too. I wanna get you home right now!"
"Henry." Susan raised her head to look at him affectionately.
So did Henry.
Then Susan tiptoed to approach closer with her arms wrapping around his neck.
Before their lips were about to touch each other, a phone ring suddenly sounded.
Stunned, both of them stopped to look at the direction where the phone ring was coming.
Because of fluster, it took Manuel quite a while to hang up the phone.
As soon as the phone was muted, he noticed the weird gaze from them.
He smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt."
However, Susan was putting on a sullen face. And so was Henry.
Manuel continued, "I gotta go. Just keep on what you are doing." Then he walked past them.
He got into his own car and drove away.
Both Susan and Henry somehow watched him fading away from their sight.
"Did he do anything to you?" asked Henry all of a sudden.
While still in the midst of sullenness, Susan was quite surprised when hearing that, "What?"
"Just simply asking. I am afraid he still has feelings for you." Smiled Henry. But obviously, his voice felt
a bit jealous, "After all, you grew up with him."
"That's why I hate him." Susan huffed.
"Alright, goon night." Henry stroked her head affectionately.
"Good night." Susan didn't intend to continue the sweet talk.
Manuel's phone ring just now was such a bummer.
She smiled to Henry, "Hey, don't work too late. Get on bed when you get home, okay?"
"Okay." Henry nodded.
After laying a farewell kiss on his cheek, she walked into the mansion.
Not until she had faded away from his sight did he walk back to his car.
He started the engine and drove away with an impassive look.
His phone suddenly started ringing.
He took a look at it and picked it up, "Linn?"
"Are you gonna marry Susan?" a sobbing voice sounded from the other side of the line.
A trace of brutality revealed within his eyes, "You know what I marry her for."
"But what about our relationship?"
"I will make up for it."
"I don't want it! I just want your love!"
"Linn, as soon as I take control of Phillips Bank, I will make it the bride-price for our marriage."
But Linn seemed to get choked because of sadness.
"In less than five years!" Henry promised.
He would spend the following five years with Susan, after which he would deprive everything of the Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Phillips Family.
…
When Susan returned to her room, she took a shower and then lay on bed.
However, she found herself hard to fall sleep.
As soon as she recalled the product launch tonight, she got thrilled because of Hannah's brilliance.
She even paid special attention to Charles and Janet, who both looked exceedingly jealous.
At the thought of that, Susan felt really happy about it.
Of course she could tell that Janet was there to hook up with Oscar.
However, she actually got greatly humiliated in front of Hannah.
Susan bet that the greatest moment for Janet tonight had been fully overtaken by the breaking news
that Hannah was actually the lead designer of Celina.
As for Charles, that disgusting cheating guy, he must have regretted divorcing Hannah just to marry
Jane, who had been deceased.
However, whenever she recalled that Charles actually hooked up with Jane before his marriage with
Hannah, she found it rather irritating.
Finally, Susan felt the pleasure of revenge.
For a disgusting guy like Charles, being excellent enough to overtake him in all aspects would be the
biggest retaliation against him.
Thrilled, Susan started dialing Hannah's number.
As a friend growing up together with her, Susan really wanted to know since when she managed to
make herself such a tough lady.
