“No way! Don’t think just because you saved me I’ll pretend not to see this!”
Lance Casey said vaguely, “In any case, you’re just a scumbag, and I want to keep Quella Radcliffe away from you!”
“Yeah! Quella, why aren’t you angry? Are you being coerced by him?” Olayinka Davenport also felt something was off.
Any normal woman would be furious to see her husband getting cozy with another woman.
Yet the usually dominant Quella Radcliffe acted as if she didn’t see a thing.
It simply didn’t make sense!
But they were all intelligent people, and thinking of everything in front of them together with Quella Radcliffe’s personality, Olayinka Davenport whispered to Lance Casey, “Could it be that they have a marriage of convenience?”
“Huh?”
Upon hearing this, Lance Casey’s eyes widened immediately.
He knew full well what a marriage of convenience was.
Many young people got married reluctantly due to family pressure.
But the two parties would sign an agreement not to interfere in each other’s lives.
Although this took a page from the entertainment industry playbook, in reality, there indeed were quite a few such people.
If that were truly the case, then everything would make sense.
Quella Radcliffe didn’t want them to meet her husband, and now Julius Reed arrived with a stunningly beautiful woman, yet Quella Radcliffe carried on as usual.
Clearly, they each did their own thing.
A bold thought flashed through Lance Casey’s mind.
If the two really had a marriage of convenience, did that mean he had a chance?
“Well, if he’s scum, he’s just got one flaw, doesn’t he? Which man isn’t scum?”
Now his eyes shifted towards Julius Reed, undergoing countless changes in an instant.
“What are you two whispering about?”
Quella Radcliffe gave them a chilly glance, “Before, when I didn’t introduce you to him, you said I wasn’t being a friend. Now, I’ve brought him here, and you’re calling him a scumbag and telling me to get a divorce!”
“We didn’t say anything! A scumbag just has that one flaw.”
Lance Casey glanced at Julius Reed and said with a foolish smile, “I am Lance Casey!”
This time, not only Quella Radcliffe, but Olayinka Davenport and Julius Reed also looked at him differently.
He was ready to beat up the scumbag just a moment ago, and now he was getting oddly chummy?
“Lance, where is your bottom line!”
Olayinka Davenport couldn’t help but comment.
Seeing her good sister’s eyes gleaming with that bright light, she was truly exasperated!
Though the two were whispering, Julius Reed heard every word without missing a beat.
As he sat next to Quella Radcliffe, he naturally kissed her cheek.
At this, everyone was stunned.
“Stop it!”
Quella Radcliffe was the first to snap out of it, her pretty face blushing as she gently punched Julius Reed with her fist.
Their behavior was just like that of a young couple deeply in love.
The three of them were longtime friends and knew each other very well.
If Quella Radcliffe didn’t truly like him, she would have never behaved this way.
This time, it was Lance Casey’s turn to be caught off guard. The happiness that had just arrived, was gone again. “Yo! Who do we have here, if it isn’t Lance Casey!”
But at this moment, an extremely discordant voice rang out.
“Bug off! I’m in a really bad mood right now!”
Lance Casey looked up at the man who spoke, her eyes full of annoyance. This man was none other than her ex-boyfriend, whom she had dated for just a few days!
He was the same thug that Julius Reed had thoroughly beaten up that day!
Since then, the two had barely been in contact.
“Small world! Are you having a meal with friends here? And they are all beautiful ladies, no less!”
Larkin Weather looked them up and down, his eyes revealing a greedy expression.
He was a petty thug who did all sorts of odd jobs and had some influence in the underworld.
“Look at that! Larkin, is she your chick?”
The man in sunglasses beside Larkin Weather leered and said, “She’s pretty hot!”
“Ex-girlfriend! To be honest, she wouldn’t even let me hold her hand!” At this, Larkin Weather looked regretful.
The two had been dating for three days before Lance Casey dumped him, and not only that, he got beaten up!
This really pissed him off!
“So, miss, give Brother Dragon some face today and make up with Larkin, all right? And introduce these sisters around you, I’m single too. Honestly, with me, you won’t have to worry about food or drink!”
Brother Dragon’s real name was Banyan Carmichael, with the nickname “Crossing the River Dragon.”
“Get lost! ”
Lance Casey was furious, how could she give them a good face?
“Yo! Got a bit of a temper!”
Banyan Carmichael turned to Larkin Weather and smiled, “I like your spirit! Since we’re all here, why not just eat together! I’ll cover all expenses!” Having said that, he subconsciously went to sit next to Olayinka Davenport.
“Whoosh!”
Just at that moment, Julius Reed deftly spun his chopsticks and placed them perfectly on the seat.
“Ouch! Holy smokes!”
Banyan Carmichael had just sat down when he felt an excruciating pain shoot through him, making his whole body jolt!
“Hahaha! ”
Olayinka Davenport and Lance Casey laughed so hard they doubled over, instantly forgetting their unhappiness.
“Damn it! Who did this?”
Banyan Carmichael’s face darkened as he endured the pain and kicked the table, “Don’t want face when given, huh!”
At his shout, several nearby tables immediately stood up with a dozen thugs. These guys had tattoos and dyed hair, and they looked over menacingly.
“Sir, is there a problem?”
The restaurant manager hurried over.
He’d seen this kind of thing before since there were always customers causing trouble after drinking.
“Get lost! ”
Banyan Carmichael pushed him away and pointed at Quella Radcliffe and the others, “Today, no one’s leaving!”
His display of power terrified Lance Casey and Olayinka Davenport.
These two young women had never experienced such a scene!
“What are you going to do! This is a restaurant, keep this up, and I’m calling the police…”
Before Lance Casey could finish, Larkin Weather snatched her phone and said with a smile, “Be my girlfriend now, and Brother Dragon might show me some face! If it’s too late, I can’t protect you!”
After saying this, Banyan Carmichael glanced at Lance Casey, clearly giving tacit approval to Larkin Weather’s words.
“In your dreams!”
Lance Casey cursed angrily and instinctively leaned further in! “Heh! Larkin, I won’t step in for you, this woman’s really asking for it!”
“Hiss! ”
Banyan Carmichael gasped in pain, grimacing, “Tell me, what do you want to
In front of his brothers, there went his face, down the drain.
Today, he had to reclaim that face!
“If you had any sense, you’d vanish right now!”
Julius Reed crossed his legs, looking at Banyan Carmichael with a mocking smile.
“Brother Dragon! This is the guy who hit me last time!” Larkin Weather could never forget Julius Reed’s face!
“Great! Lance Casey, you actually dared to cuckold me!”
His gaze at Lance Casey and Julius Reed instantly filled with hostility! If it were a regular breakup that was one thing, but now he felt utterly deceived!
“Yeah, so what if I cuckold you? Don’t tell me, we’ve slept together so many times!”
Lance Casey snuggled up next to Julius Reed, resting her head on his shoulder, “I didn’t want to tell you, but you had to ask!”
At this moment, Lance Casey just wanted to infuriate Larkin Weather without considering the consequences!
“Larkin, since this woman doesn’t appreciate kindness, I’ll teach her a lesson for you today!”
Banyan Carmichael’s face darkened as he swung his hand for a slap!
