Chapter 726
At that moment, Timothy looked slovenly, a s though he had not groomed himself in ages. He looked
like a good-for-nothing at first glance—nothing close to how he used t o look like.
Disappointment weighed Tanya down, seeing her brother like this. Her brother had been mingling with
the young men before him, all from third-class aristocratic families or wealthy families. Now, after one
or two months, it felt as though he was a completely different person.
Sharon noticed that the siblings were getting worked up. She immediately stepped forward and
plastered a smile onto her face as she spoke, "Don't bother about him, Tanya. Men have their own
ways of relieving stress. Let's play billiards instead.
Aren't you pretty good at it? Let’s play one round!”
"All right then!"
Tanya tamped down on the anger building inside her, trying to console herself. Maybe she was
overthinking this-maybe her brother was not the man she thought he was. Maybe he was just indulging
himself i n some fun. Maybe he was not like the others.
"Tch. What a lovely sister you have!"
"Right? Must be nice having a little sister looking after the big brother. Tch tch.
Maybe she’ll be the one to 'look after’ the Drake family in the future!"
The person accompanying Leo also began t o curve his lips into a cruel smile.
"Hey, you. You play billiards?" At this moment, Leo placed the cue stick to the side and asked Fane.
Fane looked around him before finally pointing at himself. "Are you asking me, sir?" he asked.
"That’s right. You're that good-for-nothing son-in-law from the Taylor family, right? You really had gold
falling onto your lap, being able to marry a beauty like Selena Taylor. That sort of luck would make
anyone jealous!"
Leo took out a cigarette and lit it, sticking it into his mouth. "Sure, I'm jealous," he said, expression
scornful, "but I have to say that it's like trying to stick a bunch of fresh flowers onto a pile of cow sh*t."
"Hah. Really? Nothing I can do about it though. I had pretty good luck, I suppose. I’ve always had
pretty good luck!" Fane was not offended by his words. Instead, he smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
However, Sharon was rendered unhappy in a flash when she heard this.
How could she not get mad, when someone straight up slandered her idol?
Her expression immediately darkened. " Leo, right? What are you talking about? You have no idea hownovelbin
magnificent of a man Fane is,” she said. "You’re not even worthy o f polishing his shoes if you were to
pit yourself against him. Do you know that? And a bunch of fresh flowers stuck onto a pile of cow sh*t?
He and his wife are a match made in heaven. I even think Selena is the one who can't match up to
him!"
"Hah. Seems like this son-in-law is being held in very high esteem by Miss George!" Leo grinned when
he heard this, apparently not angry. "I've always heard that the young miss of the George family has
had her eyes set on this good-for-nothing. I thought that it wasn’t true. Who knew that it was!”
Another man ducked his head and rubbed his nose. "Ah. I really never thought that a young heiress to
a first-class aristocratic family would actually fall in love with a married man," he mumbled. "Doesn't she
feel ashamed? It won't do good for the George family's reputation if word of this got out!"
"Heh. What does this have to do with you? Whoever I like has nothing to do with you! Besides, can any
of you match up to his brilliance?"
