Chapter 53 by Lorelei Thunder
Miriam was right behind Kurt and began mocking Woody. “You just found a random woman to depend on, and you scam people to get by. What’s there to be proud of? Mr. Donnel is a real elite. He just has to make a call to help Ms. York solve a huge problem!”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Woody frowned a little as he said, “Are you done talking? If so, please step aside. It’s not polite to block someone off.”
He couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on them, and he didn’t want to deal with their shameless behavior at all!
Miriam immediately grew arrogant. ” Are you mad because of what I said? You’re just a former prisoner, so quit trying to be better than us. You’re not worthy!”
“Well, tell me, then. What’s so good about Kurt?” Woody’s expression gradually turned cold.
Miriam said proudly, “Listen well. Just now, Mr. Donnel only had to make a call to turn things around. He helped us become the Cartwrights’ gold-tier partner. What about you? You won’t be able to do it even in your dreams!”
Woody frowned again. “Are you sure that it’s because of Kurt? You’d better not be thanking the wrong person!”
Miriam sneered and said, “Who else can it be if not Mr. Donnel? You? Why don’t you take a look in the mirror? You’re behaving so jealously you’re disgusting to look at!
“It’s okay for men to be poor, ugly, or short. What’s important is that they are aware of it. But what about you? You’re useless, but you can’t tolerate others being better than you. You won’t admit that other people are more capable than you. I despise men like you.”
Kurt said proudly, “Other than my family, who else could’ve caused Cartwright Group to change their minds? It doesn’t matter if you acknowledge it. It’s the plain truth. Don’t believe me? I’ll show you proof!”
With that, Kurt took out his phone and quickly dialed his father’s number. ” Hello, Dad. You called the Cartwrights again just now, didn’t you? You must have put in a good word for Pamela, right?”
“What are you saying? I’m busy right now, and I’ve never called the Cartwrights. There’s no hope for the Yorks to get what they want, so why would I be so stupid as to speak up for them? I’ll only embarrass myself!”
Timothy was panting, and Kurt heard a younger woman saying breathlessly, Don’t call if you don’t have anything important to say. Look at the time!”
Kurt was stunned, and his expression froze. It wasn’t his dad!
Woody had good hearing, so even though Kurt didn’t put the call on loudspeaker, he could hear the conversation. Chuckling, he said, “Tell them what your dad said!”
Miriam urged, “Go ahead, Mr. Donnel! Make this guy shut up for good!”
Kurt pretended to be calm as he said shamelessly, “My dad was behind it, of course! If not, the Yorks won’t get to be the gold-tier partner, and all the partnerships from before would have been canceled.”
“You’re lying. I dare you to tell the truth!” Woody didn’t expect Kurt to be so shameless. He was actually impressed.
Unable to stand it any longer, Pamela walked up to them and reprimanded Woody. “I thought that you would turn over a new leaf after you were released. I can’t believe that you never improved. Instead, you got even worse! I’m disappointed in you.”
Woody was stunned. He said in shock, ” You would rather believe him than me? So in your eyes, I’m a jerk who keeps spouting lies?”
“Are you not? The truth is laid bare before you, but you don’t even dare to admit it!” Pamela retorted.
Although they used to be married, she didn’t trust him at all. She even trusted an outsider over him. Woody’s heart turned even colder.
