Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 48

The world was suddenly silent, and Riley opened her eyes in horror to see the smooth pavement and the huge black tire of the suddenly braking truck in front of her.

She was dumbfounded as if she had woken up from a dream!

So, she had just survived a life-and-death crash?

"Where are you going?!"

She just had a narrow escape, and the man behind her was still in hot pursuit. Riley, ignoring the stinging pain in her knees and palms, got up and kept running!

Behind her, two men were chattering loudly, "This woman is crazy!"

"Does she want to die? Damn it!"

Riley couldn't think about anything or see anything. There was only one thing she could think of - RUN!

At last, as she was exhausted, she finally wound her way into the revolving glass doors of the mall.

Inside, people were coming and going, and the sparkling crystal chandeliers kept flickering. It was like a world had suddenly been separated from the outside.

Riley slumped in the chair with weak legs, covering her chest and panting heavily.

Who was chasing her? Who was it that wanted to see her?

She hadn't adjusted her mood when her phone vibrated in her bag. Riley closed her eyes tightly and her throat was so dry she couldn't swallow. She covered her pounding heart and pulled out her phone.

Euan's name flashed on the phone's interface.

"Don't forget what I told you. You're already late."

Riley braced herself helplessly against her still trembling legs. Her voice trembled uncontrollably, "I ... will be right back."

Inside the villa, Euan, sitting on the leather sofa, frowned, "What's wrong with you?"

Riley swallowed with her dry, aching throat. It was better not to tell him about this, "Nothing, I'll hang up now."

Fearing that she would show her panic if she said another word, she hastily pressed the hang-up button.

Euan's brows furrowed ever tighter. Was she going crazy?

Taking several deep breaths, Riley pressed her knees together and stood up, then walked around to the other exit of the mall.

On the way back, she cleaned the blood from her hands with napkins, but the marks of the cuts were still shocking.

Now her face, hands, and knees were all scratched. She was a doctor, yet she had allowed herself to be injured so much.

As she got out of the car, she looked up at the dreamlike villa, decorated with lights. Euan was inside and she wondered what he wanted to say to her.

She settled down and walked in.

On the sofa in the living room, Euan was sitting on it with his back to her. His upright back was like a towering mountain, which made him look both imposing and aloof.

She felt tears welling up in her eyes, and she almost burst into tears. How she wanted to run over to him, to hug him, to tell him what she had been through, to pour out her panic and aggression inside. And yet ...

She couldn't.

"I'm back."

Gathering her thoughts, she remained silent.

Euan's long fingers paused slightly and rested on his knees. Without turning his head, he said in his usual cold voice, "Come here."

Riley walked over and sat down on the couch across from him, "What did you get me back for? If it's about the divorce, I'd love to hear it."

Come to think of it, there was nothing else between her and him that was worth sitting down and talking about so formally, except for the divorce.

Euan looked at her coldly, "You want a divorce that badly?"

She stressed this matter several times. What else was in this stupid woman's head but this?

Riley just had a narrow escape and was emboldened, "Yes, I've said many times that I want a divorce. It's just that you won't."

"I don't agree! No matter how many times you ask, it's useless. Unless you die or I die, then you can't get a divorce."

Riley tightened her grip. She hadn't expected him to be so adamant. It seemed his determination to torture her hadn't changed.

She was exhausted and tired of dealing with him on the subject, "So what did you want me back for?"

"You ..."

He was simply furious and annoyed enough to want to kill someone! She really didn't know?

She hadn't seen the light outside when she'd just entered? She didn't see the birthday present he had prepared for her?

Was this woman blind?

"Take it!"

Something flashed before her eyes. The red Hermes was thrown into her arms by him.

She raised her eyes and looked at his serious face in dismay, "What do you mean?"

Euan was really pissed off. He wanted to pry her head open to see if it was empty!

"Here, just take it!"

Strong and brutal, cold and overbearing, which was very much in line with Euan's style of doing things.

She looked at the bag, then at him. Was it a birthday present? But the way he was giving it to her, it didn't look like, "Why?"

Euan straightened his back and said without expression, "This was leftover after Lydia had picked it out. You don't think I bought it for you on purpose, do you?"

Hmm? Was this leftover after Lydia had picked it out? And then he gave it to her?

Her red lips curled as she took the bag away and placed it on the glass table once again, "In that case, I don't want it either."

What did he think she was? A beggar who picked up leftovers? Today it was a bag, then tomorrow it would be clothes? After that, even if it was a man, she would have to use it first and then give it to her.

Euan was furious, "Riley, pick it up. I said, pick it up."

Riley remained seated, "Mr. George, you can refuse the divorce. But to humiliate me in this way, I'm sorry, I don't care."
