I’m Someone Else

Chapter 28

However, Norman didn’t understand how Thomas had drawn a distinct line between the two sums of money. Even though 750,000 was a lot of money, Thomas wasn’t drawn to it as he didn’t think that he deserved that money. Meanwhile, even though his salary wasn’t a lot, Thomas didn’t ask for an off-day nor did he skip work. Since he had put in the effort to earn that money, Thomas didn’t think that his pay should be deducted!

Thomas turned and left without bidding goodbye to Norman. He didn’t like Norman and Ophelie at all. “That explains why I found his outfit so familiar. It turns out that he’s Olivia’s driver. That outfit is the uniform for Pearson Group’s drivers!” Ophelie finally realized what was going on. After a while, she stuck her lower lip out as she spoke in a grumpy tone. “He’s just a driver—who is he to act all arrogant? He’s just a staff member who’s getting his salary from us!”

“Ophelie!” Olivia couldn’t stand it any longer. “How could you say that?” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“You don’t know what happened, Olivia. He scolded me yesterday, and he was rude to me today! You should fire him!” Ophelie cried.

Olivia was stunned to hear this. “What happened?” she asked. Ophelie told her sister everything that had occurred in the past two days. Olivia gazed at Norman thoughtfully. “Ophelie’s young and immature, but how could you go along with this, Dad? Thomas is my savior. Isn’t it a little too much for you guys to treat him that way?”

“Um…” Norman rubbed his nose awkwardly. “I have to leave now as I have some matters to handle in the company.” He hurried off right after that—it was almost as if he were trying to escape the situation. If he were being honest, he knew that he had made a mistake, and he reflected on his actions while he was on his way to work. “That young man is really something!” Norman muttered to himself.

After all, it might have been easy for a rich man to be unimpressed by a sum of 750,000, but it was different for a mere driver not to be intrigued by such a huge sum of money. The more I think about it,

the more I see that Thomas knows where he stands. However, he’s still firm with his principles when in the face of such temptations. It’s clear that this man has a lot of willpower. This young man is a keeper!

After Thomas returned to the place he rented, he began to clean the place up since he didn’t have much else to do. He washed the sheets and bed covers before making himself a bowl of noodles for lunch. Then, he proceeded to mop the floor. The whole house was sparkling clean after a full day of work. Thomas beamed before he checked the time to see that it was nearing the end of a work day. “I’m going to cook today. I want Chloe to try out my cooking,” he uttered to himself.

So, he hurried to the market, where he purchased some ingredients for a feast. He bought some beef, seafood, vegetables, and other stuff before heading home with a large grin on his face. As he was heading back to his place, he heard two women arguing as he was heading up the stairs. “You have no right to say that about Thomas!” one woman cried.

“Hmph! Am I wrong? He’s just a rash and brainless piece of trash!” another woman cried. Thomas looked up to find two women in a debate with one another. One of them was Chloe—her face was flushed, and she was clearly furious because of how the other person was offending Thomas.

When Thomas turned to see who the other woman was, he felt a ball of rage building up in his chest. The other woman was none other than Felice, the person who cheated on him! But… What is she doing here? Apparently, after Thomas had broken both of Walt’s legs, he left Walt in a critical condition. The doctors had already made it clear that Walt would have to amputate both his legs if he wanted to survive.

However, Walt was also the man that Felice had ended up choosing from a pool of choices. He was rich and powerful, yet Thomas had turned him into a cripple before Felice got to marry him. How was Felice supposed to resolve the anger she felt over this matter? So, she asked around in search of Thomas’ whereabouts, and she charged over to hunt him down when she found out about his new

place. To her surprise, she bumped into Chloe, who had just returned from work before she could even confront Thomas.

Chloe didn’t know who Felice was, but she asked Felice if anything was the matter when she saw Felice standing in front of her door. Naturally, all the things that Felice said about Thomas were unpleasant things that didn’t align with the heroic figure that Chloe believed Thomas to be. How could Chloe deal with that? That was how Chloe ended up in an argument with Felice.

“Thomas!” Felice’s gaze was filled with hatred as she glared at Thomas. She looked as if she wanted to tear Thomas into pieces. She was especially furious when she saw all the delicious ingredients that Thomas had purchased from the market. My boyfriend is fighting for his life in the hospital bed; look what you’re doing! You have a new girl, and you’re even about to have a good meal? Is there really justice on earth?!

Thomas shot Felice a side glare without saying anything. “You b*stard, Thomas. You ruined my happiness. Walt is going to have to amputate his legs, and it’s all because of you!” she cried. Thomas scoffed at her words. “You guys deserve it! You cheated on me, and you even tried to rob me of my money. I was being kind by allowing him to live!” Thomas didn’t feel the least bit sorry for Walt—to him, Walt was just a brat whose hands were still itchy for other women even when he had broken his arm.

Naturally, Thomas didn’t feel any sympathy for Felice either. She could have told me honestly if she fell for another man. I was gone for eight years when I went into the military, after all. She didn’t have to wait for me, and I wouldn’t have stopped her if she wanted to break up with me. But… why did she lie to me? Did she do it just so I would give her money every month? Thomas wasn’t a selfish and calculative man. He wouldn’t have hated Felice if she had just asked to break up with him earlier on. In fact, he could’ve been friends with her, and he would’ve helped her out if she ever faced issues with her finances.

Who does she think she is? I came back expecting to be greeted by my girlfriend’s warm embrace and sweet words, yet I ended up receiving the news that I had been cheated on for eight years. On top of that, they even had the guts to ask me for money. Do they really think I’m an easy man they can just trample all over?

“I’m not going to let you go! Just you wait, Thomas! I, Felice, will haunt you for the rest of my life!” Felice clenched her fists in rage. If she hadn’t witnessed Thomas’ combat skills, she might have just started a fight with him right then! “I see what’s going on now! You shameless b*tch! How dare you come to our place?” Before Thomas could say anything, Chloe lost her temper. Does she think I’m just going to keep quiet after knowing that she’s the one who cheated on Thomas?!

Smack! Right after Chloe finished her words, Felice held her hand up to give Chloe a fierce slap. “Who do you think you are? How dare you curse me?” Then, Felice turned around to glare at Thomas. “Thomas, you filthy, unwanted orphan! You stupid military soldier! A b*stard like you deserves to be cheated on for the rest of your life! I’m definitely going to avenge my boyfriend! I’m going to do it even if it’s the last thing I do! Just you wait!”
