Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 68

The situation right now, no matter if he drove her away or she took the initiative to leave, seemed hard to handle.

Why would she even want to stay there and be subjected to humiliation. She just didn’t dare to disobey due to strong pressure from him.

Thinking this, Riley smiled slightly, looking worn out, “Me? Doesn’t matter. I just want the selection process go by smoothly. They say that when you are frustrated in your love life, you find happiness in the workplace. I hope this is true.”

William smiled, his expressions relaxing, “I didn’t expect you to be so open-minded. Someone else in your place might have cried and made a screaming match out of it. You take it so natural, it is surprising.”

Riley had already gotten up to leave, “No need to compliment me for this. I am really grateful to you for helping me with my thesis. I will go now.”

William also stood up with her, “Since you are on vacation right now, can we have lunch together?”

Lunch? Under the current circumstances, she had no appetite and no intention to have lunch with him, “Maybe some other day, Mr. Hardesty. Please take your time, I am just leaving by myself.”

William was about to walk towards her when her words made him stop in his tracks. In the end, he still managed to say the words that were on the tip of his tongue, “Dr. Watson, I hope you won’t call me Mr. Hardesty in the future.”

He wanted to hear her call his name, he knew that it was too much for him to ask her to call him William, but it would be grateful even if she added Hardesty.

Riley lifted her small black bag, hung it on her shoulder and said with a smile, “I expect you to be promoted Mr.Hardesty.”

She joked even though knew what he actually meant.

However, how could she just go along with what he meant?

What surprised Riley was that Euan never came back in the next few days after Lydia moved in, and she had no idea what he was busy with.

Lydia woke up every morning on the same time, spread out a yoga mat in the large living room on the first floor and did yoga while blasting her soothing piano music on the loudest volume possible. The whole villa felt at unease with the noise.

Riley worked on her paper day and night and already slept very late every night; the loud music made her unable to sleep well in the mornings.

“Is it necessary to tell the world that you are doing yoga every time? How can others sleep when the music is so loud in the morning?”

Finally, she couldn’t help it. She lifted the quilt off herself, put on her slippers and stormed towards the living room. Her room was on the first floor too. She walked through the long corridor and entered the living room to see Lydia spread out in an extremely weird posture on the yoga mat wearing workout clothes that exposed her navel.

Riley had to admit that her figure, which was just like a celebrity’s, was pretty good.

Lydia sneered, “Who others? It’s so late, only you are still sleeping. Oh right, by others you meant you… because you will soon be an outsider.”

Riley hadn’t been able to sleep very well and she felt dizzy. She rubbed her temples, “Lydia, do you enjoy being so loud and annoying? Euan and I are not getting divorced. At best, you are a pretty bird in a golden cage.”

Lydia changed her posture, folded her hands together and took a deep breath, “That is still better than you. You are just bound together with him by a piece of paper. You are just an ugly crow!”

Riley still had the sense to not respond and go back. Jodie said to her with a smile, “Young lady, you didn’t get enough sleep, come, I made soup for you. It will calm your nerves.”

Riley was moved by Jodie’s attempt to resolve the situation.

Lydia got up and said hurriedly, “Jodie, what did you call her just now? Young lady? Call her by her name in the future! I am the Young Lady of the house. I, pregnant with Euan’s child, I am the Young Lady!”

Jodie did not directly refuse or agree. After serving the George family for many years, she knew very well how intense were the internal fights of a rich family. She still vividly remembered an incident that had happened in the George family around twenty years ago like it was yesterday. She smiled politely, “Miss Lydia, I can’t make a mistake. No matter the status or identity, even Mrs. George is here, she will also guide me to do so.”

Lydia gritted her teeth. She was waiting to be married to Euan so she could kick all of these wretched creatures out of the house!

Riley sat down in the dining room and smiled lightly, “Thank you, Jodie.”

Riley, who usually didn’t talk much and never smiled, unexpectedly smiled today. She looked very beautiful when she smiled.

“You’re welcome, Young Lady. Please have some soup.”

Smash!

Lydia picked up the soup bowl and threw it on the ground with a resounding smash. The soup was splashed all over the floor as the white porcelain bowl broke into pieces, making a mess of porcelain shards and soup on the floor.

“Riley, I am warning you! Look at your situation clearly, this is just the beginning.”

Pleased with herself, Lydia folded her arms, thinking that in this battle of status and identity she had the chance to win.

Riley didn’t care about her attitude at all, “Lilah, come and clean this up.”

The end of that month seemed to arrive in the blink of an eye.

With that month ending, the summer officially kicked off. Spring had passed and the flowers were flourishing beautifully in the garden. The only regret was that there were so many kinds of rare and precious flowers in the garden but there wasn’t any cape jasmine.

Riley’s thesis was finally successfully published after being revised three or four times.

Around the same time, her arm also recovered and she told the hospital she would be going back to work.

As for Euan, there was still no news.

There had been no phone call or any message from him.

It was not surprising for Riley. After three years of neglect, there had been some ups and downs in their feelings for some time due to some things, it was still impossible to turn it into a long-term stable relationship.

He didn’t care about her, didn’t think about her, of course, he wasn’t going to tell her where he was going.

Riley didn’t know that when she would return to the hospital after such a long time, she would be greeted with gossip and scandals that had been silent for a long time.

“She is really Euan George’s lover. It’s confirmed, he personally flew a helicopter to the AIDS village to pick her up. Such a show off!”
