"Not all mistakes can be resolved by apologies. It was fortunate that it did not lead to a disaster. I will not pursue your responsibility. I just hope for you to learn from this. You can go now." Edward did not want to frighten the young man. He was only a big kid after all. Edward might have let him pass but that did not mean that the kid would be consistently lucky to meet tolerant people like him. The young man needed some lessons, or he would never know what he'd done wrong.
Thank you, Mr. Mu. I will behave well in the future and I will not be arrogant and domineering any longer." The young man bowed to Edward and thanked him. His face was filled with joy as relief flooded his system. It was unexpected for him to be safe after what he had done.
Boy, you should behave well. Do not abuse your family's wealth to do something bad. Have you ever heard of this old saying? There is always someone stronger than a seemingly strong person and there's no limit if you look up. So, just play it safe, cover your ass, keep your head down and go away!" Rain waved his hands with an annoyed look on his face. He couldn't believe how such a type of people ruined the beauty of the world. He also hoped for the young man to learn his lessons from today.
"Yes, yes. I'll be making it sure to change my attitude and behave well." The young man staggered to his car. Nobody knew if the guy really meant it when he said he would change. Nevertheless, it was nice to see his driving speed went standardized after the encounter.
Alas! Look at the young man. Nowadays, I really do not know what these new generations are thinking." Rain curled his upper lip unconvinced.
"Hello, beautiful sister! Are you scolding me too?" Michelle cocked her head, narrowed her eyes, then stared at Rain. She stared at the dazzling purple earring on one of Rain's ears. She was extremely curious about where he bought that bling-bling. How could she never have seen such a shining earring before?
"It depends on whether you have hearts for progress or not. By the way, don't call me beautiful sister again. I would smash your little face if you irritate me. You can try if you don't believe." He clenched his teeth and raised her chin frivolously. An evil smile was on his face as he looked down the lady.
"What? Are you serious? Threats will never work on me! I am not scared of you!" Michelle gave Rain a quick once over. Her eyebrow twitched as she gauged him. He was slim and looked weak. It would be impossible for him to win a fight with her.
"Little girl, never underestimate me. You will regret it. Do you know how easy it is for me to deal with you?" Rain flexed his arm to show his muscles. He already felt very embarrassed when she called him beautiful sister. He could not bear being looked down by Michelle anymore.
"Let's try it if that's the case." Michelle smiled crookedly. She might not be as beautiful and sweet as Leena was but she was definitely equal when it came to wickedness.
"No! No way! That would make me look like a jerk bullying a helpless girl. It will not bring any honor to me even if I win. Why would I do that?" He rejected Michelle without any doubt and then he looked at her.
The two were still glaring at each other when a Cadillac quickly stopped nearby. Seconds more and a group of men in black suit and sunglasses walked out from the car. The group walked towards them in a way that made Luke subconsciously step before Edward in an instinct to protect his boss.
"I'm sorry that we're late." The group of men went straight to Michelle's side and bowed down.
"It's all right," said the lady casually. "Go back to the cars and wait for me there." She waved her hand at them and commanded the group to go away in an instant as she didn't want their Mafia-like outfit to scare anyone.
"Acknowledged, Miss Mi." The men in black went back to the cars without any questions upon hearing the order. They sat back in the cars orderly and did not dare to even show the slightest disobedience at all.
"Are you from a Mafia family, little girl?" Rain was beyond shock with what just happened. He got no clue about Michelle's identity as it was only Luke and Edward who knew about it.
"No, I am not! Are you?" Michelle sneered at Rain. "We are just a small gang and we are far from being a Mafia." Suddenly, she realized how much cuter the dull Luke was, compared to the man she was talking with.
"They're the same." Luke cut off coldly. He had not recognized that those men in black were Michelle's bodyguards just now. It was embarrassing how alert he was, thus, he couldn't help but grimace.
How could they be the same? There are big differences! Anyway, forget it. Why do I even need to explain to a cold iceberg?" hissed the pretty lady before turning to the company president. "Mr. Mu, I have to go. I will invite you and the colonel for a dinner some other day." She gave Luke one last dagger stare. She instantly changed her mind about thinking that he was cute. Now, Luke and Rain were just the same in her eyes. They were both incapable of being nice.
It should be us to invite you for a dinner. After all, you have helped us so many times." Although Michelle had been more of a hindrance rather than a help on their first encounter, she still did give them a big help when they were in country B. Edward remembered every little kindness done to him and would like to pay off in return.
"It was my pleasure. You don't need to care so much about it, Mr. Mu. Anyways, I will come to that dinner if you insist." Michelle was an open-minded and direct girl. It was given that she could be very reckless sometimes. Nevertheless, it was also the reason why she was adored by those who knew her.
"That's good. We will prepare a feast to welcome you!" Edward smiled. He also appreciated her directness. Being in the upper-class exposed him to many hypocritical women. Therefore, he knew that Michelle belonged to a rare type of women. For Edward, being frank was not bad. He actually disliked those people who thought and beat around the bush too much. That was the reason why he would like to keep his connection with the young lady. Besides, Daisy adored Michelle's attitude too.
"Thank you, everyone. Goodbye!" Michelle waved her hand to everyone and left. The lively scene soon became quiet.
"Let's go too!" Edward said to Rain and Luke. They could have been home if the accident had not happened! The three stylish guys got on their own cars and drove away. Of course, little Justin was together with his dad.
Daddy, how did you get to know the auntie from earlier?" The boy asked Edward once they got on the car. He was so curious about Michelle and her family. His mother was a colonel and his father was a businessman. He couldn't remember them in relations with anyone from the underworld. How could they know Michelle? Why was Michelle so beautiful that she did not look like a Mafia? Why did his father smile at her? Little Justin had so many questions in mind but decided to start from the simplest.
Oh, yes. You are asking about Michelle? We met her by accident before. Is she a very interesting little girl?" Edward started the car and drove slowly.
"She is not my type. She is same with auntie Leena. They both have beautiful outsides and dark insides!" Little Justin still remembered what that lady did to his shabby face. He touched his cheek to test if it still hurt. Huh! What a lovely little boy?
"She is okay! Don't you find Michelle stupider than your auntie Leena?" Edward smiled. He couldn't help but recall how they first met Michelle. What a spectacular scene it was! He did not know why his son thought of her as someone evil. For Edward, she was just a tricky lady.
