Chapter217


    He looked at me coldly and said, “So, you were still thinking about escaping, right?”


    I shook my head quickly, “No, I don’t have it. I was just asking.”


    Oh my god. this man is so terrifying.


    Reynaldo suddenly approached, like a demon, and smirked at me, saying, “If you dare to run away again, I will definitely break your legs!”


    He said it firmly and resolutely.


    I swallowed hard as I looked into his eyes, which concealed a hint of ferocity. “Can I leave once you get tired of ying?”


    Reynaldo dangerously squinted his eyes and said, “Why do I feel like you always wanted to escape from me?”


    Sure!


    No one was willing to endure the humiliation and bullying from their loved ones every day.


    It would be very painful.


    Only by escaping from him, staying far away from him, can my days be peaceful and my life be happy.


    But for now, it is important to reassure him.


    I pursed my lips and said, “No, don’t guess randomly.”


    He snorted coldly and started the car again.


    1046


    THE


    I watched the rapidly receding night scene outside the window, feeling sorrowful in my heart.


    Now, under his watchful eyes, how am I supposed to escape?


    I don’t know how long it took, but the car slowly stopped in front of a high–end luxury restaurant.


    Looking at the familiar surroundings. I turned my head and walked away.


    Reynaldo instantly hooked my cor from behind and pulled me back.


    He furrowed his brows and asked, “What’s wrong again?”


    “Let’s eat somewhere else.”


    This restaurant. I used toe here often with Lavonne.


    Because I liked the food inside it very much, I almost liked every dish.


    But it is expensive, very expensive.


    After a meal, it would cost tens of thousands, and if you add one or two bottles of red wine, it would cost hundreds of thousands.


    We used to have money before, so we didn’t think much about eating out.


    But now things are different.


    Now that I have experienced the hardships of earning money, I feel thating here to eat is particrly extravagant and wasteful. I feel that it ispletely unnecessary.


    And, I didn’t have any money either.


    What if this man ys me, just like Kimberly didst time, and ends up making me pay in the end?


    Chapter217


    Although this man didn’t seem like the kind of despicable person, it’s always better to be cautious.


    Reynaldo looked at me heavily and asked, “Why do you want to change ces?”


    “There was no particr reason, I just didn’t like eating here.”


    “Lie!”


    The man saw through me at a nce and pulled me inside.


    I resisted for a while, and suddenly he leaned in close to my ear and chuckled. “Don’t worry, after all, you are my bedpanion. It’s just a meal. I won’t ask you to pay.”


    My face turned dark.


    He always spoke in such an unpleasant manner.


    It would be better if he hadn’t said you are my bedpanion.


    The restaurant’s greeter at the entrance quickly came forward, graciously taking Reynaldo’s car keys and suit jacket.


    “Mr. Humphrey, wee, wee.”


    They also saw me, but they ignored me, the way they looked at me, even with a hint of disdain.


    I sarcastically tugged at my lips.


    This world is just so vulgar.


    Back in the day, I was a distinguished member here.


    Every time Lavonne or her family came, they treated me with great


    respect, both before and after Ms. Duffy.


    And back then, their attitude towards Reynaldo waspletely differentpared to now.


    I remember one time, it was Lavonne’s birthday, and we had a dinner gathering here.


    Lavonne invited many friends, both male and female, most of whom I also knew.


    Then Lavonne was happy and took several photos to post on Instagram.


    I remember there was a photo of me and a male ssmate drinking a toast, it was a game.


    I can’t remember the specific game, but I do remember that the punishment was for me and that boy to drink together.


    At that time. I saw Lavonne posting that photo on Instagram and I also thought it was not good, so I asked Lavonne to delete it.


    But Lavonne refused, she thought it was just a game, not real, so what could go wrong.


    However, in less than half an hour, Reynaldo came running to find me.


    At that time, Reynaldo was not a member here and had not received any invitation, so he could not enter.


    And he was quite down and out at that time, everyone knew that he was the unwee son–inw in our family, the disfavored prodigal of the Humphrey family.


    So the doorman also looked down on him and chased him away.
