Chapter 179: A Mean Man
A year later!
At Pinecastle airport, just as the man got out of the car, a woman in red pounced on him.
Bruce quickly dodged, frowning as he looked at the woman who had pounced on him. He said unhappily, "You’d better change your welcome! It’s easy to fall."
Riya pursed her red lips and despised, "You’re so straightforward!"
"If it wasn’t me who rushed over just now, but your Hilla, would you still dodge?"
Riya revealed a meaningful smile, carrying a hint of malicious ridicule.
As expected, Bruce slightly frowned and calmly replied, "Of course not!"
Riya rolled her eyes in disdain and coldly said, "Hoes before bros."
Bruce adjusted his wrinkled clothes and said flatly, "I just don’t want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Bruce spoke calmly. Frankly speaking, he was afraid of Hilla.
"That sounds nice. Then why didn’t you let her come and pick you up instead? Aren’t you afraid that she will misunderstand?"
"She has a lesson today!"
Bruce said seriously, completely without the sense of shame.
Hilla had been in Pinecastle for a year, and today was the day she graduated. Bruce wanted to take her back to River City immediately.
Although Bruce had been thinking about it for a year, he didn’t want Hilla to find out.
Riya seemed to see through Bruce and kept rolling her eyes at Bruce.
Men’s duplicity was even worse than women’s.
Bruce wanted Hilla to come, but he was hanging on here. Riya felt that her predecessor was too easy to talk to.
"Don’t say I won’t help you. This is the school address of your girl and her current accommodation. Well, I heard that there are male students who often give her surprises."
Riya said ’surprise’ with a faint smile, as if she was watching a good show. She had bad intentions.
"As you know, these young people from foreign countries are more open- minded. Many children from our home will more or less be contaminated with the habits of this place, such as having a husband at home and having a boyfriend abroad...."
"She won’t!"
Bruce walked past Riya, exuding a murderous aura. Riya smiled indifferently.
Anyway, Riya just happened to come here to play and be a teacher. But it was so coincidental that it was the school where Hilla came to study.
Riya gave Bruce a year’s worth of information for free, but she didn’t take any money from him. Well, he didn’t even give her a thank you. Then, did not blame her for causing trouble for him.
"Jennings, didn’t you say you liked Hilla from Fashion Institute, did you? I know where she is now. I’ll send it to you."
"By the way, today is her graduation day in Pinecastle. You have to seize the opportunity!"
Riya spoke the evilest words with a bright smile.
Riya did not believe that Bruce would not be angered.
Jennings was very grateful, and only then did Riya hang up the phone with satisfaction.
Riya hoped that when Jennings was beaten up by Bruce, he would still be grateful to her.
...
Hilla came out of the library and returned to her dormitory to pack her luggage. She didn’t have much attachment to the bustling Pinecastle.
First, Hilla came here to study. And second, she needed time to deal with her emotions. She had undergone surgery after Tyree passed away a year ago and then went to Pinecastle to ease her anxiety.
"Hilla!"
Hilla looked up and saw a young man with blond hair and blue eyes coming over with a light smile on his face.
"Thank you for helping me to complete this fashion show. The embroidery in traditional style on the top is so beautiful. Your designs are our most impressive collection this time. I want to recommend you to stay at CAICAI IN."
CAICAI IN was the world’s top fashion design company, and the brand of CAICAI IN was spread all over the world. However, they only released three single products every year, and the quantity was very small.
The designers who could make a name for themselves in CICIN all had extraordinary design positions in the world. Hilla had yearned for it before and had always wanted to develop Holt Corporation into such a world-class masterpiece.
"The company is very short of intelligent traditional designers like you. Moreover, your design and the embroidery you mentioned are very delicate and different. The company wants to make them more perfect."
In other words, if she joined CAICAI IN, she might turn the unique embroidery
technique of the Holt family into the company’s accessory.
Hilla smiled and shook her head. "Bertie, you should understand that art is priceless. I will not join CAICAI IN."
"You want to miss such a good opportunity?"
Bertie didn’t understand. This was the dream of all the fashion designers in the world, but Hilla refused without hesitation.
"I want to know the reason. I don’t believe that you won’t be tempted unless there is something more attractive to you. I heard that you are going back to your homeland. Did your country offer you better terms?"
But Pinecastle was the capital of fashion and the cradle of designers. Hilla got a lot of awards when she studied here. Her design had her own unique characteristics.
"It’s not that I have a better offer. But I want to return to my country and stay with my family."
A year was enough for her to grow, and it was enough for her to think through some things.
Bertie was stunned and said helplessly, "OK, I hope you won’t regret it one day that you have missed such a good opportunity."
Because CAICAI IN did not recruit new designers every year. Moreover, it was very difficult to enter CAICAI IN.
The blonde man didn’t pester Hilla. But he left with some regret.
Before Hilla walked to the gate with her luggage, she saw a tall man with white skin, walking toward her with a rose in his hand and smiling.
Hilla frowned. Was graduation season the harvest season for men? Why did they come to her?
But Bertie was normal. Now, this man made her feel dizzy.
The man had a pair of blue eyes, brown hair, and a tall figure like The Hulk. If he didn’t smile at her so ’warmly’, he would be a very handsome foreign man.
"Hilla, I heard that you graduated today. Congratulations. I wonder if you have the time to spend a night with me."
Could it be that foreign men didn’t take "One-night Stand" as a big deal? This was not the first time Hilla had heard of it in a year in Pinecastle, but she could be sure that this must be the last time!
...
Looking at the well-dressed man in front of her, Hilla revealed a faint smile and firmly said one word, "No!"
"Hilla, are you sure you want to be so cruel? I know that you have a husband in your country, but he is far across the ocean. A person’s soul and body should be free. Since you have broken away from his imprisonment, why don’t you enjoy the beauty brought by youth?"
"I don’t mind being your lover in Pinecastle. When you need it...."
A second before the man’s hand fell on Hilla’s shoulder, Hilla quickly dodged it.
Suppressing the irritation and anger, Hilla sneered, "I’m not interested in finding a lover. Besides, my husband is not easy to mess with. Although you are in Pinecastle, he is a mean man."
Hilla’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was cold and emotionless.
Hilla was not nervous, and it was obvious that she had no patience for this foreign man.
However, the man in front of her was unwilling to give up this last chance. He had been thinking about this gorgeous woman for a year.
He had used all of his romantic methods this year, but he still failed to get Hilla’s attention.
For so many years, it was the first time that he could keep such a strong interest in a woman for so long.
"Hilla, I said I didn’t mind your husband!"
"I’m sorry. My husband probably minds you!"
If Bruce found that Hilla spent a year studying in Pinecastle, enduring the pain of being separated from him, just to have an affair with another man, Bruce would probably be pissed off by her.
"Hilla, don’t be so heartless."
As Hilla was about to leave, the man grabbed her arm and frowned, looking at her sadly. "You are too heartless to me."
Hilla smiled elegantly, and the red mole right beside the corner of her eye became more and more charming.
The man was seduced and excited. The smile on his face became more and more disgusting.
"Jennings, you should know that affection for you is abuse for my husband. I don’t want to be a promiscuous woman."
"But Hilla, you have tempted me."
All he could think about was to have sex with Hilla in the hotel.
He couldn’t help but feel excited. He wanted to hug the woman in front of him and kiss her right now.
"Being seduced by me only shows my charm! It does not mean that I have to please you."
Hilla smiled and said the simplest and truest words charmingly.
When Hilla left with her suitcase, Jennings stared at the slim woman with lustful eyes behind her. So, he gritted his teeth and followed her unwillingly.
When Hilla saw Jennings in front of her again, there was a little more wariness in her eyes.
The suitcase in her hand was also turned behind her quietly and quickly. Hilla looked at the surroundings.
Hilla’s school was not in the bustling city. On the contrary, it was surrounded by a well-protected forest, and there were very few people passing by other than students.
Almost everyone had a car when traveling abroad, just because the destination they were going to was too far every time.
Hilla’s car was parked not far away, but as soon as she got on the car, Jennings also followed.
Looking at the man who forcibly appeared in her car, Hilla looked a little unhappy and had lost all her patience.
Jennings, on the other hand, became bold by the sealed environment. He flashed a dirty smile and showed his real purpose.
"Hilla, my little beauty. I think you will be willing to accept me. After today, our relationship will become more intimate.
"A dull life is too boring, and you will get tired of being alone. We can be each other’s company. When you are tired of your husband, I will fly over to see you."
Hilla frowned. Although this kind of thing happened many times, she wanted to beat this man in front of her today.
In the year in Pinecastle, every time this happened, Hilla would be very friendly to refuse and avoid conflict with him.
But today was different, she graduated and everything in Pinecastle would have nothing to do with her.
Similarly, Hilla could also ignore if she would be removed from the award because of this and this would affect her study.
"Jennings, I think you should get out of the car immediately for the sake of your safety."
Because in the next second, Hilla could not guarantee that Jennings would be able to go out in one piece.
"Hilla, you rejected me again. You know I won’t give up so easily this time."
"This isn’t a refusal. This is a friendly reminder!"
Hilla smiled, seducing the man in front of her again.
How could he bear to leave such a beautiful woman now?
Jennings sidled and half followed. He leaned on Hilla with almost his whole body. He breathed deliberately at Hilla’s face, teasing the woman in front of him.
"Darling, you are so beautiful. I just want to have you."
That was to say, he gave up the chance to survive and would rather risk his life.
Jennings’ hand boldly landed on her shoulder, and his blue eyes were filled with unprecedented excitement.
He had a nice face and was indeed very handsome. However, Hilla didn’t like this habit of taking liberties with her.
Turning around, Hilla grabbed Jennings’ wrist and smiled calmly. "Haven’t you heard that the people of my country can do martial arts?"
Jennings was stunned. He smiled after a surprise, "Just like the men in my country are romantic, but not all of them."
Jennings was very good at finding excuses for himself. Hilla looked at him coldly and she finally gave up communicating with him. She warned, "There is an ancient saying in my hometown. Quit what you are doing right now. I am saying this for your good."
Jennings looked confused. He didn’t understand what Hilla meant. He only saw her beautiful smile and thought that this beautiful woman was just playing hard to get.
Jennings was so excited that he wanted to rush forward, but in the next second, he only heard a sound.
He even didn’t feel the pain. One of his arms had already been broken.
"I already told you that all the people of my country can do martial arts. Why didn’t you believe?"
Jennings didn’t believe what she said at first. But now, when he looked at this beautiful woman who was smiling in front of him, he only felt horrified.
However, Hilla didn’t want to let him off so easily. She looked at the kneecap of his right leg with a sneer. "I told you to leave, but you didn’t leave. Now that you want to die, I will do as your wish."
Jennings hadn’t come to his senses yet, but he knew what the ferocious smile on Hilla’s face meant and that crisp snap in his knee brought him lots of pain.
When Bruce arrived at Hilla’s School, he saw a foreign man who looked flustered, scrambling out of Hilla’s car.
Bruce frowned. When he was supposed to be a hero saving a beauty, it always seemed to be too late!
