Chapter 3 Enemies Meet
In the living room of the Windsor’s place.
It was very lively right now.
Because the eldest son of the Morton family, Reuben, was here to visit!
“Donte, Heidy, here’s a little something.”
Reuben sat on the sofa with a look of confidence.
On the coffee table in front of him were two bottles of 1982 Lafite and a box of high-end Korean cosmetics.
“1982 Lafite! Each bottle costs more than 16 thousand dollars, right? This is too much!”
Donte wanted to take a photo and post it on his Timeline to show off to his friends!
Heidy clicked her tongue and said, “Reuben is indeed an overseas returnee. He is so polite, and he is way better than that loser husband of Pamela! Just thinking about him makes me angry!”
“I’m flattered, Heidy.”
Reuben had a smug smile and took an exquisite small box from his pocket.
“A gift for Pamela.”
He opened the box.
Inside was a diamond necklace the size of a grain of rice. It was sparkling and translucent.
Heidy widened her eyes and exclaimed, “It’s so big! It must have cost you a lot, right?”
Reuben’s eyes flashed with a hint of cunning as he pretended to be generous. “Not at all! It’s only 160 thousand dollars!”
He handed the diamond necklace to Pamela.
Reuben looked at Pamela, and there was undisguised greed in his eyes.
Reuben was Pamela’s senior in university, and he had wooed Pamela many times back
thien.
However, he was rejected.
He went abroad to study after graduation and soon heard that Pamela was married.
He was extremely furious when he found out that Pamela’s husband was a poor loser.
Until a month ago, Reuben returned to the country and learned from his friend that Pamela and her husband were married in name only, and nothing happened between the couple.
Hearing that, he became uneasy.
Coincidentally, just last night, Heidy suddenly called him to invite him to their place as a guest and also mentioned that Pamela and Joshua were having a divorce.
Reuben, of course, understood Heidy’s meaning.
The next day, he came here as a guest and brought them gifts!
Pamela was annoyed.
She was disappointed in Joshua for being incompetent and lacking the desire to strive to be better.”
If she had not married Joshua, she would have lived a happier life.
But compared to Reuben, Pamela still preferred Joshua.
Joshua was incompetent but honest.
But Reuben?
When he was in university, he relied on his family background to flirt with countless girls and had endless scandals. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Reuben was a piece of trash.
She didn’t want to waste her time talking to Reuben at all.
Thus, she said to Reuben impatiently, “I don’t want it. You can give it to someone else!”
“Well…”
Reuben looked embarrassed and turned to Heidy for help.
Heidy quickly tried to smooth things over. “This is a small token of Reuben. Just take it. Think about it! What did that loser give you these three years? He can’t buy the necklace even with the money he earns in a lifetime!”
As Heid
he took the necklace box froin Reuben’s hand and stuffed it into
Pamela’s hand.
Then Heidy pulled Reuben’s hand and said earnestly, “Pamela will get divorced soon. After that, I’ll have to trouble you to accompany her to go out to relax. The Maldives sounds great to me. You guys should stay out for a few more days. Reuben, I’m getting old and want to have grandkids. You know what I’m saying, don’t you?”
Reuben swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded repeatedly. “Yes! I get it!”
Pamela casually threw the necklace box onto the sofa and frowned. “Mom, I haven’t said I want to divorce Joshua!”
Heidy glared. “Why won’t you? Do you want to be a pair of paupers?”
Pamela lowered her head and muttered, “It’s my marriage. I will make the decision myself!”
Heidy was furious. “Bullshit! Three years ago, you insisted on letting him be part of us. He came here together with his sister, who was nothing but a liability to our family. Look at how they’ve ruined our family. Other families’ sons-in-law bought them houses and cars. What about him? He only drags us down!”
Donte pushed his glasses up his nose and agreed with Heidy, “Heidy is right. A happy marriage is based on money. Joshua doesn’t have what it takes!”
Reuben nodded and echoed, “Pamela, I have long heard about your marriage with that ungrateful bastard. He is just trash from the underclass, and you can do better! I think he must have a motive for marrying you! He’ll do anything for money!”
Reuben looked like a know-it-all and sneered, “I have seen so many ugly ducklings like him!”
Pamela didn’t say anything.
She was lost in thought.
Was Joshua that heartless?
Crack!
At the same time, the door was pushed open.
Joshua was back.
Seeing him, Heidy had a disgusted look on her face. She tilted her mouth and mocked, “You haven’t been back for the whole night. Who knows where you were and who you were with? Anyway, it’s good that you’re back. Divorce Pamela now!”
Joshua ignored Heidy.
Because from the moment he entered the room, he fixed his gaze on one person.
Reuben!
The car downstairs was Reuben’s!
Reuben felt that it was time for him to put on airs.
He stood up and said in a disdainful tone, “You must be Pamela’s useless husband, right? Tell you what? Go and get a divorce with Pamela. As long as you say yes, I will arrange a security job for you. 1,000 dollars a month! You won’t be able to earn it in this lifetime, right?”
He was so certain that Joshua would be grateful and then divorce Pamela.
Joshua, however, stepped forward and stared at Reuben. “Are you Reuben Morton?”
“Are you scared now that you heard my name?”
“Afraid my ass!”
Joshua shouted, “It was you who ran away after hitting my sister?”
In an instant, a hint of panic flashed across Reuben’s eyes. “You… What are you talking about? I don’t know anything about that!”
Joshua narrowed his eyes and raged. “Be a man and admit it!”
Before Reuben said anything, Heidy jumped up and kicked Joshua’s calf. “What the fuck are you
wcan Reuben be a hit-and-run driver? You’re nuts!”
Donte’s face was also livid. “Joshua! Apologize to Reuben!”
Even Pamela frowned. “Did you make a mistake?”
“Ainistake?”
Joshua played the video on his phone. “Take a look for yourself!”
It was a surveillance video,
It was at Leyla’s school gate.
After the evening self-study class, Leyla passed the sidewalk as usual. Suddenly, a Mercedes S600 showed up at a quick speed and hit her.
The car did not stop at all. It quickly disappeared into the night.
The video was over.
Reuben, who had been nervous, heaved a sigh of relief and argued, “Is that your proof? There are at least a few hundred black Mercedes S600 in New York. What makes me the guilty one? I will sue you for slander!”
Heidy echoed, “Reuben, I think the loser here has gone mad because he wants money badly. He wants to blackmail you! No way! Reuben, you should go to court and put him in jail!”
Pamela looked at Joshua and sighed with disappointment.
She didn’t expect Joshua to be such a person.
How could he blackmail others for money?
“Go to court? Sue me?”
Joshua sneered, took out a few photos from his pocket, and threw them on the table. “If you’re a man, go to the court with me now! Do you dare?”
Reuben widened his eyes at once, and his face turned pale.
These were blowup photos of the Mercedes S600 that was involved in the accident.
The driver’s face was clear.
It was Reuben!
