The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds

Chapter 32

“Come here and squeeze in with me!”

Noticing that there was no space left in the car, Adaline squeezed herself inward.

“The car is overloaded, Ada. He won’t fit,” said Stella.

“She’s right. It’s packed in here. Let’s not bring along the deadbeat, shall we?” said one of the women.

Adaline pursed her lips. In truth, she felt upset to hear her friends criticizing Adrian in this manner. However, she could not chastise them because her status was inferior to theirs

The driver, Kevan, said to Adrian, “You aren’t going to fit. Sorry, but we have to leave you behind.”

“It’s fine, I’ll walk. Which hotel are you going to?” said Adrian.

“Hahaha!” Kevan and the others burst out laughing. “Sure, you can walk then. I’d like to see which is faster -your legs or my car! See you at Swallowston Hotel!”

Kevan started the engine.

Adaline suddenly tossed fifteen dollars from the window just as the car sped off. “Get yourself a cab and go home! Don’t come! They’re going to make you the laughing stock!”

Adrian smiled bitterly. He bent over and picked up the money from the floor, shaking his head in frustration. In truth, Adaline cared for him and pitied him. However, in light of her personality, she refused to show her true emotions.

Adrian pocketed the money and walked to Swallowston Hotel.

Swallowston Hotel belonged to Donald Kushner, the richest man in Swallowston’s business field. It was listed as a company of the Kushner Group.

Donald was also the chairman and president of the Kushner Group. One could describe the Kushner Group as the biggest company in Swallowston while the richest man, Donald, owned companies in various fields including entertainment, hotel, and many others.

Twenty minutes later, Kevan and his friends arrived at the entrance of Swallowston Hotel in their cars. More than twenty people got out in succession.

Stella held Kevan’s hand and said with a smile on her face, “Didn’t the deadbeat claim that he’s coming too? Where is he now?”
