Chapter 1228 Enduring Humiliation
Upon realizing that Alex was also going to dine at the same restaurant, Heather immediately felt theurge to leave. She was accompanied by a man old enough to be her father, while Ale seemed to leadan extraordinarily carefree life, surrounded by beautiful women. After comparing herself to him, Heatherwanted to make a swift exit before Alex spotted her.
Heather immediately turned around and returned to the car. Seeing this, Dexter was confused. Heopened the car door and asked, “Ms. Jennings, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Heather shook her head. “No, I just suddenly don’t feel like eating Eurasian cuisine. Let’s go forAnglandurn cuisine instead!”
Upon hearing that, Dexter scowled. He didn’t know that Heather’s change of heart was due to Alex.and thought that she was deliberately disrespecting him.
When we first met earlier, I complimented her, but she completely ignored me. Even when I attemptedto engage her in conversation on the street, she acted indifferent. How can she treat me this way,considering that I’m the owner of a company? I asked her where she wanted to dine, and she chose aplace with Eurasian cuisine. Now that we’re here, she’s disrespecting me by refusing to get out of thecar Yes, Heather may be beautiful, but she’s just a woman who has been married and has a child.What gives her the right to look down on me?
“Heather, don’t overstep your boundaries. You’re living in a rented house and struggling financially, yetyou act like a spoiled princess here. What right does a divorced woman with a child have to act soentitled? It’s your luck that I even paid attention to you. Now, get out of my car immediately!” Dextersaid sharply.
Dexter’s words left Heather feeling utterly humiliated. She hadn’t anticipated being seen in such a lightby others, and this realization caused her heart to tighten with pain.
After getting out of the car, Heather said, “I’m feeling a bit unwell. I don’t feel like eating, so I’ll headhome now.” She planned to hail a cab to go home.
Having faced criticism from this man, Heather had no reason to remain and subject herself to furtherhumiliation.
Dexter grabbed Heather’s arm tightly. His voice was filled with rage as he asked, “You think you’resomething special, huh? Do you really believe that just because you’re somewhat attractive, I can’t doanything to you?”
“Do you know why Carmen specifically asked you to accompany me and not someone else? It’sbecause your brother, Lucas, owes me five hundred thousand. Given your current financial situation,you definitely can’t repay it. If I report this to the police, your brother could end up in jail for a fewyears.”
It was an underlying threat. If Heather dared to leave today, Lucas would end up
In this moment, Heather felt a mix of anger and helplessness toward Lucas’ behavior. She wasfrustrated that he couldn’t break free from his old habits, refusing to work even when h was broke andinstead wasting borrowed money. Despite her anger, Heather also felt helple: because Carmen andLucas were her relatives, and she couldn’t simply turn her back on them.
Heather’s sense of pride paled in comparison to the thought of her brother going to jail. She flashed aself-deprecating chuckle and replied, “Fine, I’ll come with you.”
Only then did a smile appear on Dexter’s face. He pulled Heather along with him into Happ Living. Asthey entered, Heather didn’t see Alex, who had probably already gone into the private room.
Looking at the delicious dishes laid out on the table, Heather had no appetite at all. However shecouldn’t refuse the food that Dexter had served her. With a sense of helplessness, she stuffed the foodinto her mouth, hoping that the day would pass quickly.
While they ate, Dexter didn’t stay still as his hand kept roaming freely over Heather’s body. Thesensation of having such an extraordinarily beautiful woman at his mercy was truly unparalleled.
Heather could only suppress the nausea welling up inside her, yet she dared not show any resistance.
“Babe, why don’t we go to the hotel after we finish eating?”novelbin
