Chapter 257: Getting Bold
Chapter 257: Getting Bold
"I apologize for making you wait."
Janine looked at Roland with a sweet smile on her face.
Accompanying Roland for a few weeks already, how could she not discover this unusual hobby of his?
Not to mention, even Stacey herself had admitted that she noticed this from Roland as well. Stacey also told her some tips and tricks on how to help Roland once such a situation occurs.
Silence.
Dead silence.
The entire place became so quiet that even the wind seemed to stop.
Even if a needle were to drop at this moment, the crowd would still be able to hear the sound of it.
Noah’s smile froze on his face.
The silver-haired man’s mouth opened, but no sound came out.
The girl with heavy makeup slowly lowered her phone.
Roland?
This sexy and alluring looking girl came for him?
The ordinary-looking guy?
The one they mocked for not having a car?
The one they said probably rode jeepneys?
Roland looked at Janine and nodded with a smile.
"It’s alright. You’re just in time."
At the same moment, multiple SUV’s pulled up right behind the Sian as well.
Men in black stepped out in grand fashion, surrounding Roland with great fanfare and effort.
Looking at their set-up, Roland felt like he had truly outdone himself this time. He might have gone overboard for face-slapping this bunch of kids too much.
He looked at them and saw their pale faces. The notifications flashed across his eyes, and it was apparent from the ding ding sounds it made just how much face-slapping points he earned.
One and the others bowed their heads to Roland respectfully.
"Get the Budi R8 in the back, I’ll ride this Sian for now."
One nodded his head and immediately went to fetch the Budi R8 that Roland brought over earlier.
Since Janine was already there to drive him, how could he not answer the sentiment and not ride with her?
Janine smiled and opened the door to the Ramborghini Sian’s passenger seat, gesturing for Roland to enter.
Someone whispered, "That car is his?"
"No way..."
"Didn’t he say he didn’t drive here?"
"He didn’t drive here because he has a driver?"
It was only at this moment that they realized what Roland truly meant by that phrase earlier.
The people who had laughed earlier suddenly felt their faces burn.
Noah’s expression became extremely ugly.
He stared at the blue luxury car, then at Roland, then back at the car.
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
How could this ordinary brat own a car like that?
Noah forced a laugh.
"Nice act."
Everyone looked at him.
Noah pointed at Janine. "You hired an actress, right? Rented car? Temporary show?"
He looked at the suited men around and continued, "They must be in on the act too, right?"
The silver-haired man immediately reacted.
"Yes! Brother Noah is right. This must be rented and all an act."
The girl with heavy makeup quickly nodded. "Exactly. Nowadays, people rent luxury cars for photos all the time."
The crowd, which had begun doubting themselves, became noisy again.
"Maybe it is rented."
"Could it be a fake luxury car as well?"
"And besides, look at the get up of that driver. It doesn’t look like she’s a driver at all. More like the owner or something..."
Hearing that, Noah felt his confidence returning.
He walked toward the blue car and sneered.
"Do you think you can fool me? A man like you owning this car? Don’t make me laugh."
One and the others frowned upon seeing the situation.
However, recalling that Roland was stronger than most of them, they did not react and allowed the act to continue.
And besides, Roland raised a hand, stopping him from speaking.
Then Roland looked at Noah.
"You said people are divided into levels."
Noah’s lips twitched.
Roland continued, "Then tell me. What level does this car belong to?"
Noah’s expression darkened.
The crowd became quiet again.
Roland walked slowly toward the luxurious Sian and placed his hand on the door.
"You said I couldn’t afford one tire of your car."
Noah’s face turned red.
Roland looked at the Terrari, then at his own car.
"Your car is just a hundred thousand."
He paused.
"This one is one million eight hundred thousand."
The crowd erupted.
"One million eight hundred thousand!!"
"Damn!"
"That’s insane!"
"Brother Noah’s car suddenly looks..."
"Shhh! Don’t say it!"
Noah’s face became even redder.
The comparison was too brutal.
A few minutes ago, he had been proudly showing off his Terrari.
Now, beside Roland’s black luxury car, the Terrari looked like a toy trying too hard to be noticed.
Noah clenched his fists.
"You—"
As if noticing something, Noah’s eyes lit up once more.
"Right. That car is not yours. I see what is going on now."
He looked at Janine and smirked.
"Hey miss, this brat must be just your worker, right? And this car is actually yours?"
The crowd seemed to realize what he was getting at. Their eyes lit up as if they found the connection they were desperately searching for.
"Right. She must have ordered him to do an errand or something."
The others nodded their heads, thinking that this was the real scenario.
Roland looked at them while shaking his head.
’They were still not done? Just how hard it is to believe that someone could be greater than the other?’
This just proves how narrow-minded these kids were.
Just because they judged him in advance because of his current appearance, they were already having trouble comprehending that he was actually not what he looked like.
At this moment, Roland had already grown tired of responding to them.
He had already planned to ignore them and enter the Ramborghini Sian when he noticed that Janine actually decided to approach him.
She looked at the fools around, a hint of nervousness apparent on her face.
However she overcame that nervousness and seemed to have steeled her resolved as she arrived right beside Roland.
"My worker? You guys are blind!"
Saying that, she raised her slender hand and slowly pulled Roland’s face toward hers.
