Chapter 70
Chapter 70
Harold had just gotten off work when he received a report detailing Isabella's movements for the day from Logan.
He was unconcerned at the fact that Isabella had trouble finding a satisfactory job. After all, he was sure that the Turners would make their move within the next couple of days.
As such, he took the opportunity to strengthen his relationship with Isabella.
Harold sent a message in reply to Logan. He texted: Logan, come up with a way to divert Marilyn away when the movie is about to start.
After that, he found a random place and had dinner before heading to the movie theater in advance to wait for Isabella.
As soon as Harold arrived at the movie theater, he saw a familiar figure. It was Brittany.
Meanwhile, Jon was purchasing their tickets at the cashier of the movie theater.
Brittany followed behind him, glancing around from time to time. She appeared to be somewhat uneasy.
As it turned out, Brittany had seen through Jon's intentions. She was certain that, after the movie, he would bring her over to a hotel and book a room for them.
Even though Brittany had been with Harold for about five years, he had never crossed the line with her
or done anything inappropriate. Hence, she was reluctant to engage in what awaited her as she was still a virgin.
For a moment, Harold was stunned when he saw Brittany. He wanted to switch directions and turn around a corner to avoid meeting her.
Nevertheless, Brittany was too familiar with Harold's figure. The moment he turned his back, she noticed him.
Similarly, a look of shock appeared on Brittany's face.
Given how Harold once “intentionally” made his way to her residential area to trap her, the idea that he was secretly stalking her instantly crossed her mind.
Immediately, her naturally pretty eyes blazed with anger.
Harold had only taken two steps before Brittany rushed up behind him in a fit of fury, yelling his name, “Harold Campbell! Stop right there!” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
In an instant, all the eyes in the ticket hall of the movie theater spun toward them.
A crowd soon gathered around to witness the drama.
Harold swiveled around resignedly. He smiled bitterly as he greeted, “Brittany! What a coincidence! You're here to watch a movie as well?”
“Coincidence, my ass! What are you doing here?” Brittany interrogated Harold aggressively.
“Obviously, I came to this movie theater to see a movie,” Harold answered honestly.
“As if! You're clearly stalking me! I'm telling you, stop wasting your time! It's impossible between us. Besides, I already have a new boyfriend. His family is rich and powerful, unlike a poor rat like you. I'll be spending tonight in a hotel room with him, so you better leave right now before you affect my mood.” Brittany emphasized her last word.
That led to discussions amongst the onlookers.
“D*mn! Here's another dude being rejected just because he's poor.”
“That guy looks like the devoted and loyal type. What's wrong with society nowadays? Why have women become so materialistic?”
Most of the men gazed at Harold in pity. They sighed as they shook their heads.
However, their remarks instantly angered the women nearby.
“What do you men know? This lady here is so beautiful and alluring. She's got the right to pursue a better life for herself! If you're looking for someone to blame, then blame him for being so worthless! He's poor, yet he wants to woo such a beauty. Does he have no shame?”
“That's right! Are you all saying it's only okay for you men to desire a beautiful woman for a wife, but it's not okay for women to want a better life? What kind of logic is that? If you men don't work to improve yourselves, you deserve to get dumped!”
