After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121 I Never Trifle With Marriage

Theodore went back to the box after using the restroom, and Oscar was sitting in the box drinking. Thomas and Janet were also in the box.
"Where's Manuel?" Oscar asked Theodore.
Manuel had left for a long time and never returned.
"He's been taken away by Susan, the siren." Theodore was speechless. He didn't get a good impression of Susan. After all, in the past, Manuel was hurt so badly by Susan. He was afraid that his buddy would be hurt by Susan again.
"Now that Manuel has left, I'm going home, too." Oscar put down his glass.
Tonight was about Manuel. Everyone came here to welcome him back. Now that Manuel had left, it was time for the others to leave.
"I'll go with you." Thomas said.
Theodore was a little speechless.
'How could they be such party poopers? The clock hadn't struck twelve yet!' he thought.
"I need to go to the bathroom, Janet. Wait for me at the door." Thomas said.
"OK." Janet agreed.
They walked out of the box together. At the gate, Oscar was about to get in the car. But Janet suddenly spoke to him, "Oscar."
Oscar paused.
"I want to break up with Thomas." Janet said bluntly.
"That's your business." Oscar was indifferent.
"I've tried. I can't fall in love with any other man, except for you."
"That's also your own business."
"I know your marriage with Hannah is a marriage of convenience. I'm willing to wait." Janet spoke a little emotionally.
Theodore, who was around, didn't know what to say. He, Oscar, Thomas, and Janet used to be classmates. To be precise, they were more than just classmates. They shared a lot of secrets with each other, so they could be described as very close friends.
At first, everything had gone well until one day, Janet announced that she had fallen for Oscar. She said her love for him was so deep that she was willing to give up her life for Oscar. At that time, Janet confessed her love for Oscar several times, but she failed. After that, she once attempted to commit suicide. Luckily, the attempt to commit suicide failed. Despite this, Oscar still showed no mercy to her. In a fit of pique, Janet slept with Thomas.
In fact, Thomas loved Janet. He just didn't show his feelings before because Janet always loved Oscar. After he slept with Janet, he and Janet naturally became boyfriend and girlfriend.
However, smart people could all tell that Janet loved only Oscar, and sooner or later, Thomas and Janet would break up.
Actually, before Hannah appeared, Theodore also believed that Oscar and Janet would finally be together. After all, among so many ladies, Janet was the only one who knew what kind of person Oscar was and she was the only lady who could approach Oscar.
However, all of a sudden, Hannah, who had never been known to them before, appeared. After her appearance, Oscar fell in love with her and couldn't hold it back anymore.
It probably never occurred to Janet that Oscar would suddenly have another woman and get married all of a sudden. She probably always believed that Oscar didn't accept her only because of his special status and that he would be with her after everything was settled. She never expected that there would suddenly be an outsider.
At first, she could fool herself by saying that Oscar and Hannah were just driven by interest and that they just had a fake marriage. Anyway, their marriage was a win-win cooperation as the Cooper family's wealth would only be beneficial to them.
As time went on, it became clear to clever people that Oscar had unusual feelings for Hannah. So Janet couldn't wait anymore.
Tonight, Theodore saw many times how Janet relentlessly badgered Oscar. Oscar was rather patient with Janet, not directly pushing her away. But apparently, he didn't give her any hopes either. His attitude was the same at this moment.
He was as indifferent as before, "I never trifle with marriage."
"Oscar!" Janet broke down.
Oscar had got into the car and left.
Janet's eyes were red. The sadness on her face was obvious. Seeing that, Theodore helplessly sighed and saw Thomas behind him out of the corner of his eye. He had better not intervene in this love triangle, he thought. So Theodore also got into another car and left too.
Sitting in the car, he made a phone call.
He couldn't understand why these people would get in a serious relationship and break their hearts. In his opinion, the purest and most harmonious relationship between a man and a woman should be the one about only money and sex.
"Darling, do you have time tonight?" Theodore asked with a smile as the call got through.
"Mr Wold, you finally come to me. I thought you'd forgotten about me." The woman's voice was sweet and extremely soft.
"How can I forget your charming figure?"
"You're so sweet." That woman was happy.
"Let's meet in the old place."
"I have work to do tomorrow. I can't stay up too late tonight."
"I'll let you go before two o'clock."
"You say it."
"Have I ever lied to you before?"
"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour." The woman was very excited.
"OK." Theodore hung up the phone.
This was the way men and women should deal with each other, simple and clear. It was too tiring to get in a serious relationship.
...
At the same night, Susan came down from the center of the stage drunk. The man she was holding just now was nowhere to be found. It was disappointing for her. Of course, Susan wouldn't do anything to him. After all, she had a boyfriend. She just sometimes joined in the fun on occasion, while her fair-weather friends had spent nights with many young men.
Feeling a little drowsy, she massaged her head. If she hadn't gone to dance, she might feel better now.
Feeling dizzy, Susan stumbled out of the hall, headed directly for a parked car at the door, and sat down heavily in it. After she sat down, she didn't realize that another person sat down next to her the next second.
Now she just wanted to go back to her room and lie down on her big bed immediately. She hadn't been so drunk for a long time. Hannah was the one who would bring bad luck to her. Hannah's words left her in a bad mood until now, and she even got drunk because of those words.
She seemed to recall what Hannah had said again. Maybe it was the effect of the alcohol that caused her to do the thing next. Susan angrily took out her phone and dialed Henry's number.
"Susan." The call got through.
"Henry, when on earth are you going to marry me?"
"Susan, are you drunk?"
"No, I'm not drunk!" Susan refused to admit it, "I just want to ask you when you're going to marry me."
"Susan, you got drunk. Where are you? I'll come and pick you up."
"I don't yearn for your gentleness, and I don't yearn for your obedience. I want to marry you, sleep with you, and give birth to a bunch of children for you!"
"Susan..."
"Henry, why on earth are you hesitating? What the hell are you afraid of?!" Susan's eyes suddenly turned red. She just felt aggrieved, "Is it that difficult for you to marry me?"
Manuel sat next to her watching her quietly. He watched as big tears fell out of her eyes.
So, Susan's unusual behaviors today were only because of the conflict between her and Henry, he thought.
