He signaled to his driver with a wink.


    The driver quickly grasped the situation, stuffing more money into the woman’s hand and saying, “Sweetheart, just buy a little ne and we have a deal.


    You can’t really argue with this, can you?”


    The driver, experienced at handling such shady situations, was particrly persuasive.


    He leaned in and whispered to the woman, “Look, this gentleman has influential connections in Ardlens.


    He’s not someone to mess with.


    I suggest you take the money and leave.


    Don’tplicate things, alright?”


    The driver’s words were chosen, the sincerity questionable.


    Far from a decent soul, the waitress realized she couldn’t gain much from Deniz and quit arguing.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Standing up and dusting off her trousers, she scoffed.


    “Who are you kidding? I know this car.


    It’s a junker.


    Not worth much.


    One with influential connections wouldn’t be driving this trash.


    ”


    Deniz’s quick temper ignited at the mockery, ready to attack.


    The waitress, frightened, retreated, dering, “Forget it.


    I’ll just treat this as a run-in with a swine.


    ”


    Then, she walked away confidently, swaying her hips.


    “Damn it!” Deniz kicked the car door in a huff.


    He cursed, “What a disgrace, to be humiliated by some nobody!”


    The driver quickly lit a cigarette, handing it to Deniz.


    “Sir, calm down.


    Women from these small ces tend to be unruly and rough.


    ”


    Deniz put the cigarette between his lips, muttering angrily, “If not for that damn Jarrod, would I be in this mess? Damn it!”


    Deniz continued to swear.


    Previously, over an issue regarding Nicole, Jarrod disregarded the reputation of the Hampton family and had Deniz imprisoned for a year.


    The point was that Deniz hadn’t evenid a finger on Nicole.


    He simply drugged her in an


    attempt to r@pe her, yet he ended up imprisoned for a year, which he felt he was unjustly treated.


    Upon Deniz’s release, his previous cooperation with the Hampton family naturally fell through.


    Deniz’s wife pleaded with her sister, who was married to a director of the Hampton family, but thetter was too afraid to advocate for Deniz.


    Consequently, Deniz was banished to this forsaken ce.


    They imed it was to help him reflect and mature before he could return to Ardlens.


    Although their im was nicely put, Deniz felt by the time was allowed back, everything would be gone.


    Thinking it through, Deniz wrongly med Nicole and Jarrod for his current suffering in this deserted ce.


    If it weren’t for Jarrod’s recent connections to the Hampton family, he would be seeking an outlet for his rage.


    “Damn it! That hideous woman, so disgusting!” Deniz couldn’t stop cursing.


    The driver grasped Deniz’s foul mood might make the next few days difficult for him as Deniz vented his anger.


    But there wasn’t much the driver could do with it since he needed this job to earn a living.


    Attempting to change the subject, the driver said, “Sir, you wouldn’t believe it, but I met a stunning woman at the hot pot restaurant, truly elegant, a real beauty even by Ardlens’ standards.


    ”


    Deniz scoffed.


    “With your taste, how would you recognize true beauty?”


    “Sir, trust me, I’m not kidding.


    I even secretly took a picture to show it to you.


    It’s just the earliermotion made me almost forget about it.


    ”


    The driver pulled out his phone, opened the gallery, and disyed a photo of Nicole dining, her charm evident even as she looked down at her meat.
