Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

Chapter53 Goddess, You Have to Return to me

Riley used almost half an hour only to clear out all of the roses in the ward.

A huge bunch of roses were shoved into the garbage bin outside the ward. The two green bins were

crammed full of the roses with remnants of the flowers and leaves sticking out of the opening while

some of them were scattered on the floor.

A minute ago, the roses represented the memento of love, but at the moment its fate had taken a turn.

Riley stared at the abandoned roses for a while before turning around and left expressionlessly.

If he was going to humiliate her using such a method, she wanted to show him some ignorance too.

“Dr. Watson, where are you going? If the attending physician goes missing, those existing patients will Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

probably unite and aim their discontent at you.”

Serena was gesturing with exaggerated movements to mimic the commotion from earlier on. Riley

froze when she heard that. Why was her memory so weak?

“I’ll go over now. Are the patients still queuing?”

Serena chuckled when she saw Riley’s nervous expression, “Wow, so Dr. Watson is also affected by

emotional changes. You can be rest assured, the outside world is all cherry roses and sunshine. You

have an imminent danger waiting for you, but the deputy dean has arranged for someone to take your

place. You’re fine now.”

Why was William interfering again?

It felt like he had her in the palm of his hands. This didn’t feel good at all.

Serena nudged her arm with a mysterious air around her while she started to gossip, “Dr. Watson, our

extremely handsome deputy dean seems to be caring about you a lot. Not only did he block off the

reporters, he has also arranged for a replacement physician. There must be something going on

behind our back!”

“This shows that the deputy dean is just fulfilling his job perfect with a responsible and serious attitude.

It’s not like what you are thinking.”

Riley thrust her hand into her pockets and the discomfort she had been feeling was instantly amplified

as she started walking. She squinted and frowned while being assaulted by the pain, and she almost

lost her balance and fell down with her high heels underneath her.

Serena grabbed her and asked, “What’s wrong? Is it because you have flat foot?”

She was not used to being so intimate with someone else other than Sarah, but she didn’t struggle to

break free of Serena’s grasp, “I just feel exhausted. I will be fine after a nap.”

“You scare me. I thought that you have been exhausted and stretched too much that your legs are

buckling too. Dr. Watson, it must feel nice to have the deputy dean watching over and caring for you

while you are being interviewed by reporters!”

Serena hooked her arm around Riley’s and as they walked forward she couldn’t stop lamenting about

that incident from a few days ago. Riley was being awkwardly led along and she was feeling extreme

discomfort due to her dislike of being in close contact with others.

Finally, the time to get off work had come. While Riley was changing her clothes, a button fell off her

white coat. With a frown, she rolled up her clothes and threw them into the garbage bin!

Just as Riley was just stepping out of the hospital entrance, her phone rang. When she saw the caller’s

name, a cold smile formed on her lips.

The last time this person had been rendered speechless by her, but it seemed that she had recovered

now. Riley said, “Spill it.”

Freya’s cold snicker sounded at the other end of the phone, “Riley, my dear sister, you are so

embarrassing! Your man has carried away another woman in front of the reporters, leaving you, his

supposedly original partner behind. You are really something! I’m feeling impressed!”

Freya was never one to spout something good after all. As Riley continued driving, she put on her

Bluetooth earpiece, “Are you done with your nonsense? If so, hang up!”

“Why are you in a hurry? Do you think I really care about that insignificant thing that has happened to

you? Mummy and I are waiting for you to be shunned by the George family. By then, I hope you won’t

become too embarrassing to the point of making the Watson family lose face.”

“So you have called to fart in front of me! Even if you are that shameless, I don’t even want to hear

what you have to say.”

She reached out, wanting to tear off her Bluetooth earpiece.

“Riley, mummy’s birthday is on Saturday. The Watson family is going to throw a dinner banquet at

Regal restaurant. Remember to attend, you good-for-nothing waste of the family. As for Euan… I don’t

you are capable of bringing him along at all. Remember not to wear too tastelessly as to bring down the

standard of our banquet. I can’t have any expectations at all for such a poor doctor.”

A banquet? If she were to attend, this mother and daughter tandem would definitely have something up

their sleeves.

“Freya, are you even a match for me? Even if I don’t bring him along, I will let you know that I will

always be your elder sister!”

“Stop being stubborn! We won’t know who the loser is until the end!”

“Good, it seems that you have grown a little. I will see the outcome for myself.”

She tore off her earpiece and was determined to attend the banquet organized by the Watson family!

She had too much pent-up frustration, and she needed something help her ease that, so Freya and her

mother has appeared at the right timing!

In the blink of an eye, it was finally Saturday.

In the afternoon, Riley dragged Sarah to do some facial makeover, manicure and also outfitting

themselves. They spent the entirety of their two months’ worth of salary in just doing that.

Sarah was stupefied with Riley’s actions, “What is going on? Are we going to do a total makeover and

reborn as new human beings? You are spending way too much. Did Euan that bastard give you some

pocket money?”

Riley was fumbling with her hair, “Do I need his money? I am still the ace doctor after all. I am in the

high-income group, did you forget that?”

“This is amazing! Riley, you are finally looking more like the Riley I once knew. You have unbearably

turned into a forlorn housewife after being married to Euan. Goddess, you have to come back fast!”

Riley stroked her chin and replied, “You goddess will return tonight.”

Riley smiled at the charming woman inside the mirror as she applied a rose colored lipstick to her lips.

No matter a light or heavy makeup, she could handle the look.

After completing their makeup, Riley reached out her hand, “Pass me the car key.”

“What?”

“I am going to go into a warzone tonight. Don’t you think that I should have some gear? My car is not

suited for the occasion.”

Sarah broke into a fit of laughter, “Oh my god, this is too funny! I can’t believe that Dr. Watson is finally

caring for her image. Great! Here you go with the car, and by the way, I’ll give you this limited edition

jewelry bought in Milan too. There are only three of these in the world. Use this to destroy Lydia!”

Actually, she was not going to target Lydia tonight, but no matter. She accepted the tiffany necklace

and wore it around her neck. The piece of jewelry sparkled under the light on her slender and pale

neck.

“Right! Not bad, not bad. You must use all of your might to destroy the mistress. Riley, I have high

expectations of you!”

Riley smirked confidently, “Of course.”

In the Regal restaurant, the lighting here flooded the whole place and made it as clear as day. There

was a long line of luxury cars parked outside the lobby, and huge red carpet stretched endlessly for

classy people to walk on it. The whole place was very luxurious.

It seemed like the mother and daughter tandem had poured a lot of their efforts into this birthday

banquet.

Under the crystal chandelier in the big hall, guests were clinking glasses of wine and evening dresses

and skirts could be seen whipping up a storm. A young lady dressed in white evening gown was

playing a melodic tune on a piano on the stage.

“Hey! Mr. West, long time no see. You are looking younger every time I see you!”

“Mr. Marshall, the last time we met, it was at the auction last year. After not seeing you for such a long

time, I heard that your business is doing well.”

“Mr. Welch, thank you for coming!”

In the main hall, Freya and Lauren Murphy were welcoming and tending to the guests. All those who

attended this banquet were distinguished guests, otherwise they wouldn’t be invited in the first place.

At first place, this was her birthday banquet, but in actuality this was Lauren Murphy’s mean to scour

more wealth into her pockets. She always used this opportunity to elevate Freya’s social standing and

status amongst the elites.

Nobody really knew how the Watsons were doing, but they knew the truth pretty well.

Of course, this included Riley.

A pair of red high-heels emerged from a car, and out came Riley who was clutching a small purse

embroidered with tiny diamond stones. Her ring finger had a huge diamond ring on it, which was a gift

from Euan. The deep-V black evening dress successfully brought out her voluptuous figure.

She usually didn’t bother to doll herself up, but that didn’t mean she didn’t have the package to flaunt.

Her pale white skin was in great contrast with her black evening dress, and her hair was being tied up

high, exposing her earrings which sparkled and swayed on her neck. In the middle of her clavicle

bones, the diamond necklace was taking its center stage.

She didn’t look hypocritical at all with the amount of jewelry on her, but those who were in the know

could see that each of the pieces of her jewelry was a masterpiece which would have cost a fortune.

It had been a while since Riley had appeared at such an occasion. After entering the venue, the waiter

removed her white coat, and unexpectedly nobody recognized her.

“Ms. Murphy, today is such an important day. Why is Ms. Watson not here yet?”

Lauren Murphy who had a mink scarf on her shoulders was secretly seething with rage. It had been a

long time since Joseph Watson’s demise, but all of his old friends never thought of her as the legitimate

young lady of the Watson family. All they were looking for was Riley!

With a glass of wine in hand, she giggled, “Mr. Nash, if you are looking for the young lady of the

Watson family, isn’t she just right in front of your eyes?”

Freya immediately put on a smile, “Mr. Nash, nice to meet you. I am Freya.”

Mr. Nash glanced at Freya, and the smile on his face diminished, “It seems that Riley will not be

coming today.”

Lauren Murphy gnashed her teeth, “Mr. Nash, I wanted her to come too, but Riley is really too

unbecoming. She doesn’t even want to show her face in a family event, and I can do nothing about

that. Please excuse such a disgrace in the family.”

Riley curled up the corner of her mouth, and as she got herself a glass of red wine from a waiter’s tray,

she swayed into the center court while announcing, “Mr. Nash, I am here!”

A clear voice pierced through the rummaging noise in the hall, and everyone instantly turned around

only to see a slender and charming figure approaching them. This woman was exuding an expensive

and classy aura.

Mr. Nash only need to take a glance before launching into a guffaw, “Riley, you are all grown up! You

look so pretty now! Back then, while you are still by your father’s side, you are just a little rascal!”

With Mr. Nash’s mention, it finally dawned on everyone that this woman was none other than Joseph

Watson’s eldest daughter, Riley Watson! She was someone who was supposed to inherit the throne of

the Watson family, but she somehow disappeared for some reason.

Riley revealed a generous smile, “Mr. Nash, you are still like back then. You still love to joke. Come, let

me toast to you!”

“So you are Ms. Watson, it is my pleasure to meet you!”

“Ms. Watson, it’s the first time I see you here. Let me toast to you!”

“Ms. Watson, you are dazzling today. You can even give your mother back then a run for her money!”

For this banquet which was organized by Lauren Murphy and her daughter with hard work, Riley was

able to become the center of attention the moment she introduced her presence!

Freya gritted her teeth while whispering by her mother’s ears, “Mummy, are you just going to let her do

this?”

Lauren Murphy suppressed her anger while comforting Freya, “You mustn’t be worried. This is just the

beginning, and we should let her taste victory. Our show is going to happen later on, so what are you

worried about?”

Mr. Nash took a sip of his wine while asking with concern, “Do you have your eyes on any gentleman?

If so, please bring him to me. I will make sure to take a good look at him.”

Freya suddenly intruded, “Mr. Nash, don’t you know this? My sister is someone formidable nowadays.

She…”

“I am not the main character here. I will pay you a visit specially in the future. Mr. Nash, please enjoy.”

After saying that, Riley dragged Freya’s arm and dragged her all the way to a corner, “Freya, let me

warn you. You better watch your mouth tonight!”

“Oh? Why is that? Are you afraid of being embarrassed by the fact that you are not acknowledged by

the George family? If you are scared of that, you shouldn’t come! Bitch!”

Riley exerted more force into her finger as she pinched Freya hard to the point that she went pale,

“Stop being so stubborn, you know you are not my opponent. If you want this banquet to go on

smoothly, you should watch your trap!”

“Riley, what are you being so stuck-up about? Do you think that you are all high and mighty now with

some old man backing you up?”

“Who needs anybody to back me up? Freya, we are different. Without your mother, you are nothing!”

After saying that, she flung away Freya’s arm and strutted into the hall which was full of elites and

socialites.

Freya gnashed her teeth and vowed to make her pay!
