I'm Someone Else

Chapter 297

“Thomas!”

In the next second, a roar filled with anger echoed through the air.

“Hmm?” Thomas paused for a moment as he felt like he had heard that voice before, so he lookedback. “Melissa?”

The person who just called his name was Melissa, the beautiful class monitor from his high schooldays.

“What are the odds, Thomas? I can’t believe I would run into you here!” Melissa’s eyes sparkled withanger. It was because of this guy that she ended up being taken to the police station that day. If herfamily hadn’t scraped together a large sum of money to bail her out, she might still be locked up in thedetention center.

The culprit behind all this was Thomas!

Thomas glanced at her indifferently and didn’t bother to respond. He had more important things to doright now. His task tonight was to acquire that Century Lotus, so he didn’t have time to waste arguingwith her.

With that in mind, he lifted his foot and continued walking toward the entrance of the auction house.novelbin

“Where do you think you’re going? Stop right there!”

Melissa was furious. She didn’t hesitate before walking straight toward Thomas and blocking his way.After finally seeing this jerk, how could she let him escape so easily? She must teach him a lesson!

“You b*stard! You almost ruined my life, and yet you dare to show your face? Do you have no shame?”

She pointed her finger at Thomas’ nose and cursed loudly while attracting the attention of passersby.Her anger was justified. If her family hadn’t managed to gather the hefty bail money, she wouldn’t havegotten out of the police station so easily. In that case, she would have a criminal record, and reputablecompanies in the city would never hire an employee with a record.

She considered herself lucky. Thanks to this scumbag in front of her, many of her classmates were stilllanguishing in the detention center. They were classmates at the very least. Was it necessary to be soharsh? She had to settle this debt with him today!

However, Thomas did not know of all this. It was William’s idea to send his high school classmates tothe police station, and Thomas was unaware of it. Even if he had known, he wouldn’t blame William.After all, William was just standing up for him.

“If you keep blocking me, you’ll regret it!”

Thomas’ face darkened. Did this woman have a screw loose? She came up, started cursing at him,and blocked his way. If this delayed his important matters, would she take responsibility for it?“Thomas!”

In the next second, a roar filled with anger echoed through the air.

If it weren’t for their shared high school experience, he would really consider kicking her aside. Did shethink he was easy to bully just because he seemed calm?

Dun… Dun… Dun! Melissa keenly sensed a hint of killing intent in Thomas’ words and took two stepsback in fear as she watched him walk into the auction house before snapping back to her senses.

“Damn it! This b*stard!”

So, he entered the auction house, huh? Fine! As long as he’s inside, he won’t be able to escape for awhile. I don’t believe he can get away this time! I must have my boyfriend teach him a lesson!

“Rose, what’s going on? Do you know that guy?”

Melissa’s boyfriend, Tosh Richie, walked over. He was the person whom Thomas had bumped intoearlier. He hadn’t approached immediately because he was startled by his girlfriend’s intense reaction.

“He’s a jerk! He almost ruined my life. Honey, you have to take my side!” Melissa immediately changedher tone and appeared extremely wronged as she clung to Tosh’s arm and acted all sweet.

“He almost ruined your life?” Tosh was taken aback. So, that person was really his girlfriend’s enemy?He had to help his girlfriend vent her anger today. “Don’t worry, Rose. I will make sure he becomesdisabled. Damn it! How dare he bully my woman! Is he tired of living?”

As for how Thomas had offended his girlfriend, he didn’t bother to ask. In his mindset, how Thomashad offended her wasn’t important. He only needed to know that Thomas had made his girlfriendunhappy, and that was enough!

After entering the auction house, Thomas called Timothy and walked over to where Timothy and Rosewere seated. He sat down in the middle while conveniently positioned between the two and waited forthe auction to formally begin.

This was also arranged by Timothy. He allowed Thomas to sit in the middle. This way, Timothy couldexplain the auction process to him and facilitate communication between his daughter and Thomas. Itwas a win-win situation.

Rose asked, “Thomas, my dad told me that you came here today for the Century Lotus?”

The Lotus was a precious medicinal herb, and even a fifty-year-old variant could cost several hundredthousand. The Century Lotus was even more expensive, reaching tens or even hundreds of millions. Itseemed that Thomas was going to spend a fortune this time.

“That’s right!” Thomas nodded. He came here today with the determination to acquire the CenturyLotus. No matter who competed with him, he would not give an inch!

Without the Century Lotus, he wouldn’t be able to tone his body. Without toning his body, he wouldhave to watch helplessly as Olivia went to her death. That was something he would never allow tohappen!

“Well, you’ll have to wait a bit. The Century Lotus is the second item to be auctioned today.”

Just as Rose finished speaking, four burly men walked over and approached Thomas directly. Theysaid to him, “Lad, come with us!”

Thomas looked up at the four men and simply ignored them. The auction was about to start, and hedidn’t want any trouble at the moment.

“Damn it! Are you deaf or something? F*ck!”

The four men became furious when they saw that Thomas was ignoring them. What’s the meaning ofthis? You’re ignoring us, aren’t you? Are you forcing us to get physical with you?

Timothy was enraged and shouted, “Who do you think you are? How dare you be so rude here?”

They even dared to swear at Thomas. Were they tired of living?

“It has nothing to do with you, you old coot. You better shut your mouth and behave, or else we’ll dealwith you too!”

Not only did the four men dare to curse at Thomas, but they also didn’t spare Timothy as they scoldedhim fiercely.

“All right, all right. I’ll go with you.”

Thomas stood up helplessly and signaled the four men to lead the way. Judging from their behavior, heknew they were here to cause trouble for him. If he didn’t deal with them, the auction would notproceed smoothly.

Timothy and Rose remained silent as they simply watched the four men sneering.

They weren’t worried about what would happen to Thomas. They had witnessed Thomas’ strength withtheir own eyes. Even if the four of them were formidable, could they compare to the Hind Family?Thomas could defeat the Hind Family alone, let alone these four clowns.

How dare you spew nonsense. Just wait for Thomas to deal with you all! Timothy believed that Thomaswould give them an unforgettable lesson!
