Chapter 145: Since You Want to Live Off Others
Victoria originally wanted to leave directly, but due to the message she had just sent to Lena, knowing that Lena would come, she waited at the elevator.
“Lena?”
Victoria called out, but Lena’s face turned red with anger, and she walked directly to the suite on the other side of the corridor.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
She knocked on the door several times, and her palms turned red from the force.
Inside were two men and two women, celebrating a birthday, singing the birthday song.
Hearing the knocking, the birthday person raised an eyebrow, circled James Nate’s neck.
“James, did you bring me a surprise?”
She said this with a teasing tone because everyone present knew that James Nate was a poor guy; what surprise could he bring? If it weren’t for Lena generously giving him a hundred thousand, how could he afford to come here?
James Nate smiled and was about to speak, but the knocking grew louder.
Another girl got up to open the door.
Lena stood at the door and immediately saw James Nate sitting at the table.
The birthday person still had her hands around his neck.
Lena was furious, biting her teeth. She walked over with large strides, took her bag, and smashed it towards the two.
“You shameless couple! James Nate!”
James Nate was a bit bewildered, not expecting Lena to come.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
His eyes looked somewhat innocent, then panicked, and he instantly jumped up from the chair.
“…Lena.”
The girl who got hit was so angry that she wanted to curse, but she was held back by another man present.
The man shook his head and whispered in her ear.
“I’ve seen this woman at the banquet before; We can’t afford to provoke her.”
The woman was angry, biting her teeth, and glaring at Lena.
Her gaze focused on Lena’s bag, a new release from Hermes, costing over two million, looking genuine, and she was all in limited editions.
Her confidence instantly dwindled by half. Although she was rich, buying a bag worth over two million was still challenging.
“James, who is this?”
Lena directly answered, “I’m his girlfriend!”
Then she turned and stared at James Nate, grabbed the glass on the table, and poured the wine directly onto his face.
James Nate closed his eyes, and the wine trickled down his hair, making his long eyelashes wet. He pursed his lips with a bit of grievance.
“Asshole!”
The woman, whose birthday celebration was ruined, was furious.
“Look at you, James. You have such a wealthy girlfriend, so why bother going out with me for a hundred thousand? If you want to buy things, just ask your girlfriend for money, right?”
James Nate’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, then he looked at Lena.
The other three people present persuaded the birthday girl to leave first, suggesting a change of venue for the celebration.
Upon hearing that James Nate had sold himself for a hundred thousand, Lena took out a card and threw it at his face.
“If you really want money, come to me! It’s just a hundred thousand! There are ten million on this card!”
Seeing her assertiveness, the others realized they couldn’t mess with her and quickly left. The birthday girl, still somewhat unwilling, retorted sourly.
“Yeah, her bag alone is worth over two million. How could she care about a hundred thousand? Since you want to live off others, why not live off your girlfriend?”
The girl’s family was well-off, and she usually had several thousand in pocket money. Now, feeling wronged and teary-eyed, she left with her friends’ persuasion.
Lena gritted her teeth, raised her hand to slap James Nate, but Victoria intercepted her.
“First, ask for an explanation.”
Lena took a deep breath, put down her hand, and stared fiercely at James Nate.
His face was truly handsome, but she hadn’t expected him to come to a hotel with another woman.
James Nate wiped the wine from his cheek, his long eyelashes drooping.
“The last time we went shopping, you wanted a pair of shoes. Just to accompany her on her birthday, I got a hundred thousand. I’m sorry…”
Lena was stunned, suddenly remembering the last time they went shopping. She accidentally entered a store and liked a pair of shoes. They cost a hundred thousand, a luxury brand. She quickly took them off and left with James Nate. The store clerk even made sarcastic comments, and she had later had the clerk dismissed. The entire mall belonged to the the Mitchell family, who were in the luxury business.
Now, she felt guilty and quickly took a tissue from the side to wipe James Nate’s cheek.
“Did you buy the shoes for me?”
James Nate nodded, his face self-mocking and disappointed. “But with your family being so wealthy, you shouldn’t need it. I misunderstood. It turns out you’ve been lying to me.”
Lena was anxious and quickly picked up the card from the ground, handing it to Victoria.
“It’s just that those people just now had bad judgment. I’m wearing all fake ones, which cost less than two hundred. This card belongs to my friend. By the way, let me introduce you, my friend Victoria. I’ve mentioned her to you before.”
Victoria: “…”
