Chapter 538 Insulting Drake
"Who are you insulting, me or Drake? You've got everything the Riley family has now. Does money talk
louder than anything in your eyes?"
"You gave them money. It only made others think that Drake had done wrong."
"But he ..."
Rashad wanted to say something else, but was stopped again by Sophia.
"Not all problems are meant to be solved with money, Rashad. We are not the same in nature. Please
just leave if you have something else to do!"
'We are not the same in nature!'
When Rashad heard those words, he felt as if his heart had been pierced by a needle.
"Okay, I get it. I'm being nosy! I'll leave now!"
"That's right, you're the one being nosy, so please don't do it next time!" Sophia said without any fake
politeness.
Rashad glanced at her and seemed to have something to say, but in the end he said nothing and left.
Bonnie looked at Rashad curiously. "Mommy, why do I feel this uncle is different from the one I knew?"
"Right, don't judge a book by its cover!" Sophia stretched out her hand, pulled Bonnie over and asked,
"Do you need help?"
"No, it is probably easier to do it alone!"
Sophia nodded, for that was the truth.
After the kites were untangled, those people had bought new kites and flew their new ones over there.
They would occasionally look over at Drake, with a look of contempt on their faces, as if implying that
Drake was an idiot to make so much effort to get those kites apart.
What they did not expect, however, was that Drake simply took out his own kite and, without a
moment's hesitation, threw the rest into the trash.
The action irked some people.
"What's wrong with you? Who told you to throw our kites?"
"That's right. That's our kite. Who are you to throw ours?"
"Hurry up and get our kites back!"
"Your kites? My cousin spent thousands of dollars and wasn't it enough to buy those kites of yours?"
Drake sneered.
"Don't be too greedy. Otherwise, you will end up suffering!"
The air was not very good here, so Drake led Sophia and Bonnie away.
Those people watched them leave with their eyes wide open, and surprisingly none could say anything.
In Drake's opinion, some kites could be bought with money, but some couldn't, like this one in his hand
that he purposely made for Sophia before. It represented his love for Sophia, and he would never allow
others to trample on it.
There was to be a banquet in the evening, and its organizer wished Sophia to be present.
As Emma had not seen Bonnie during the two days Drake had been at home, she took the child and
left Drake alone. Thus, Sophia asked, "Do you want to attend the party with me?"
"Sure!"
Why not?
Now he was nobody in the eyes of others. Even common people could feel free to trample on his pride.
His wife was so good-looking with such a good family background; there must be many men who want
to hook up with her. To stop those men from doing so, he must be present.
He would never give those men a chance. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Sophia knew what was in his mind. That was why she asked if he wanted to go with her.
Although he would inevitably be subject to some criticism if he went there, it was better than not asking
him.
Sophia and Drake appeared together at the banquet, which was not expected by everyone.
Since Drake left the Riley Group, many people were watching his life and knew that he was living quite
bad these days.
Some people who had been oppressed by Drake thought that they finally got the opportunity to get
back at Drake since his appearance here.
"Who is that? I thought it was an honored guest. It turned out to be Mr. Drake Riley of the Riley Group.
Oh my bad memory. He has been kicked out of the Riley Group. He's no longer Mr. Riley of the Riley
Group. Am I right?"
With that, Grayson Sherman laughed.
Others were watching Drake's reaction. Despite his loss of power, he was clearly someone to be
reckoned with.
But as they watched, they saw that Drake made no counter-attack, and they all came forward and
taunted Drake, one after the other.
"Yes, Mr. Riley was very difficult to serve back then! I have repeatedly tried to invite him to dinner, but
he had not even shown me any courtesy. I did not expect that Mr. Riley would be reduced to this!"
"Mr. Riley, is it good to be a house husband? I saw your news the other day and you seem to live a
hard life! Well, for your ability's sake, would you like to come and work in my company? Well, my
company needs a cleaner, and you can just come and ask the HR department to help you arrange it
directly!"
Sophia did not expect these people to cross the line so much. Were they really so happy to see Drake
lead this kind of life?
She just wanted to stand out to defend Drake, but she was stopped by Drake, who always had a smile
on his face and was not angry at all.
"Everyone, I really didn't expect that you would care so much about me after I stepped down, which
really touched me, but thanks for your concern. I don't think there's anything wrong with being a house
husband, and I'm willing to be the man behind Sophia."
Drake looked affectionately at Sophia, and so did Sophia.
But to these people, it just seemed ironic.
"Mr. Riley, when did you become a coward like this? I suppose you are aware that your wife has been
frequenting the Riley Group since you stepped down. Doesn't it prove something?"
'That was too much! How dare they smear me!' Sophia thought indignantly.
Once again, Sophia stepped forward. This time she simply wanted to slap them, but once again she
was stopped by Drake.
Sophia looked at him in perplexity.
"It's no big deal to go to Riley Group. Have you guys seen with your own eyes that my wife has
cuckolded me? If not, please stop talking nonsense. After all, those who say bad words will end up
having rotten mouths!" said Drake, with a faint smile.
A man laughed. "Mr. Riley, I didn't expect you to become so wimpy after you stepped down. It has been
confirmed that your wife cheated on you, but you are actually pretending that nothing has happened. I
really admire you! "
"Besides, your grandfather died because of this woman, right? If I were you, I would cut ties with such
a woman."
"You know nothing. Sophia is the daughter of the Lawson family, and she has four brothers. The
Lawson family is no less influential than the Riley family, and Mr. Riley now lost power in the Riley
family, so of course he has to count on the Lawson family, right?"
"Mr. Riley is really 'capable'! We are all overshadowed by you!"
Paul watched from a short distance, feeling terribly sorry for Drake. 'When has Mr. Riley ever been so
taunted? Do those people really think that Mr. Riley's identity is that simple? Mr. Riley is King of the
Underworld!'
