Chapter 55 Embarrassment
"You should come over to me."
If Freya wanted to trap her, she at least needed the IQ for that.
She didn't even know where she stood!
The moment Freya was about to jump into the swimming pool, Riley pulled her hard.
Splash!
Freya fell on Riley with all her weight, and the two of them fell onto the ground together!
When the guests heard the noise, they all looked over to them, and saw that it was the Watson sisters that fell on the ground.
"What the hell happened?! Riley, what did you do to your sister?" Lauren suddenly screamed, as if something horrible just happened which led them a huge loss.
Riley was pressed on the ground, she couldn't get up, her back crashed onto the floor.
This was not a game, she was in so much pain that she sucked in cold air, but she showed no expression on the face, she just pushed Freya away, and said, "Why aren't you more careful when you are walking? If I hadn't pulled you in, you would have fallen into the pool." Freya bit her teeth, and said between the teeth, "You bitch! What are you so complacent about!"
It was in such a low voice that nobody around could hear, the smile on her face didn't fade, her big sister caring about her was applauded by the crowd.
"Of course I am complacent, go for wool and come home shorn, next time you need to use your brain before you do anything. Don't think just because you watched all those series, so you know what to do."
Lauren pulled up her daughter, and patted her all over, "How are you? Are you alright? Did you get hurt?"
"No!"
Riley was still on the ground, and some people passing by reached out a hand to help her up, she lowered her head and thanked them.
Euan and Hendrix both watched the scene, the way she pulled her sister back was so doughty that it didn't looked like a woman, but then again, the way she put her strength into it seemed like a woman that was forced to her limits. "Miss Watson, you have abrasions on the back of your arm, you need to see a doctor so he can fix you up."
Riley raised her arm and looked at it, the fall scratched her skin off a bit. She smiled, "It's okay. Keep going, don't get too close to the swimming pool. If something like this happens again, I can't guarantee that I can save them."
Regardless of her injuries, she gave the guests generous reminders and made jokes, which won everyone's praise, "Miss Watson, I didn't expect you to be so humorous, haha!"
Euan frowned and was about to leave the table.
He didn't want to watch the drama tonight.
Hendrix was surrounded by a group of beauties, drinking with them one after another, showing his romantic attitude, Riley didn't even bother to watch it.
No wonder they were brothers, they were the same in their heart!
But she had never noticed that Hendrix's gaze was always on her.
Riley hissed as she raised her hand, the pain of both arms came at the same time, the pain was bad, and then she raised her head, but couldn't find the tall black figure in the crowd.
In her heart, she felt an unspeakable loss. Everything tonight, if it was a performance, the only audience she wanted was him.
She wanted him to see that she was not a someone that could be pushed around, she could build up her own world.
But when he left, her interest in acting was gone.
However, the banquet was not over yet, as the host, she couldn't leave early.
"Riley, you are really a scheming bitch. No wonder you could successfully marry into the George family, you really do have some skills." She scanned her sister's fingers with a poisonous look, "Oh, you are not wearing the wedding ring? You haven't been driven yet and you already don't dare to prove who you are?"
Riley was holding on to her bag, her finger stiffened, "If I have the skills to marry into the George family, then I have the skills to kick you out of them Watson family as well, do you believe me?"
"Hahaha! You? Riley, you need to take a good look at yourself, and, I am the biggest shareholder of the Watson Group, the heir of the Watson family is my mother, who are you to fight with me!" Riley bit her teeth, the one mistake she made was going to hurt her forever, that little girl all those years ago now turned into the ungrateful person today, and she was the one who made the mistake!
"Only if I want to, Daddy's old friends would work together and against the Watson Group, Mr. Nash is only one of them. Let me remind you that Mr. Nash's company is about twice the size compared to the Watson Group."
She had hit Freya in the right spot, who was now furious, "Riley, you are the one who is pushing me!"
Freya grabbed for Riley's bag, and emptied the content, until she saw the shining diamond ring.
"Haha, so it really was in here!"
Freya picked up the ring, and held it in her hands, "Look at me, I wanna see how you can still save it this time!"
"Give it to me!"
"Whoosh"
She raised her arms, and the shining little item flew out in a bell shape, until it landed in the middle of the swimming pool. "Freya, just wait for it!"
She clasped her arm and laughed coldly, "I am actually waiting!"
The ring, it was her wedding ring! She couldn't lose it!
Riley kicked off her heels, raised her arms and jumped into the pool!
The whole crowd was shocked, even Euan who wasn't too far away, was stopped by the sound of the water.
"Miss Watson! Miss Warson!"
Riley?! What was this stupid woman doing again?!
The water was so cold that it went through her bones, it wasn't the temperature for swimming in an outdoor pool yet since it was not in hottest season in summer, when Riley jumped in the water it was as if her body was steaming, the shock of the temperature made her drunkenness vanish, and she was suddenly sober, she felt cold, and the water in her wounds were paining her.
She didn't have the energy to bother about it, she had to find the ring, she just had to!
She inhaled deep, and bent down to swim to the bottom, it was hard to open her eyes, but she was searching carefully.
The ring! Her ring!
The crowd on the side of the pool all looked shocked, "What happened? What is Miss Watson doing?"
Freya smiled as she explained, "She probably thinks the atmosphere is a little suppressed and wants to cheer everyone up!"
...
"Miss Watson has prepared a show? Wow, she is really good at diving, she must have held her breath for two minutes?"
What the hell!
Hendrix saw Riley jump into the water, and also heard them discussing, he threw his wine glass away, and without even taking his shoes off, he jumped into the water!
Hendrix tried to pull her back up, but Riley was fighting with her life, "Let go of me!"
"What the fuck, are you stupid, are you actually putting a show on holding your breath? If you don't go back up, you will be famous!"
"Hendrix, get out of here, I lost something!"
She pushed Hendrix to the side as she tried to dive in again, the crowd was praising, and taking pictures, the flashes were shining and stinging in their eyes, Riley was really going to be famous. "You are fucking crazy! What did you lose? Get out first, we can empty the water to look for it."
"You are the one that's fucking crazy! If you let the water out, it will be flushed along!"
She bent down to look for her ring again, she pushed the water with both hands, in the huge swimming pool, the water wave was floating, the reflection of the moonlight crushed, it looked cold and pale. Hendrix was furious, he grabbed her with both hands and pulled her out, "Get out, whatever you lost, I will help you find it."
Riley looked at the crowd that was watching her with cold eyes, she was so cold that her lips had turned purple, she bit her lips and said, "If you really want to help me then get these people out of here." Outside the pool, Freya and Lauren finally looked satisfied.
Lauren announced to the guests, "We are really sorry, this child needs some manners, she doesn't know what she is doing, sorry you all had to see this, I will definitely give her a lecture."
"Guys, my sister was deeply affected by the death of our father, she probably thought of him tonight, so..."
She pointed at her head, "Thank you for understanding."
Was this for real? She was the elder daughter of the Watson family, did she really have mental issues? To the point that she would act up at a party?
Euan came back, his black eyes were suppressing, Riley this stupid woman! Could she be even more embarrassing?
"Elijah, come to the Regal restaurant immediately, you have two minutes!"
After he hung up, Euan's pace fastened, his dark aura was covering the place like a storm cloud, "Let me through."
Euan said, the guests made a path for him, when he saw the two of them in the pool, his head almost exploded! Those two didn't know what they were doing!
"Hendrix, come out!"
Euan demanded, the guests were surprised, Hendrix? What did Euan just call this young man? Was he the second son of the George family that was abroad for a couple of years, the one that was often talked about, Hendrix George? Oh my--
The eldest daughter of the Watson family lost her mind and the second son of the George family jumped in the water to rescue her, could there be any bigger gossip than that?
"Bro, she..."
"Get out!"
Hendrix bit his teeth, "Bro, she is looking for something but couldn't find it."
Euan's dark eyes looked like he wanted to strangle him, "What does that have to do with you? Are you also crazy?"
Crazy?
Riley stood up straight, she was completely wet and her clothes were stuck on her skin, her curves were hot!
She looked at Euan doubtful, her eyes were questioning him, you were the same as the others? You also thought I was crazy?
I was fucking crazy! Only if I was crazy, I would care so much about a ring that had no meaning at all! Only if I was crazy, I would be searching for it like a mad woman!
But, she didn't want to waste her breath.
After she looked at him coldly, she went on to search for it.
At the bottom of the pool, she saw something shiny, Riley did her best to get there, and picked up the ring, then she held it tight in her hand!
She found it!
That moment felt as if she got the best news on earth, her face was covered in a big smile under water, then she inhaled, and swallowed a lot of water.
Hendrix was forced to get on land, and when Riley got up from the bottom of the pool, Hendrix was on land, all wet, standing next to him was Euan, who was spreading a cold aura. Riley wanted to get on land, she lowered her head--
Fuck! Her clothes exposed her figure!
She went down again...
Fucking Euan, were you going to just let people see your wife like that?
Euan looked at her for a couple of seconds, then he said in a cold voice, "Dear male guests, do you think it is appropriate to stare like that?"
Only when he said that, the men all turned and didn't dare to look at the pretty picture again.
Even the eldest son of the George's was going to get involved, this was not understandable to the guests.
Riley looked around herself, then she got out of the water, dragging water behind her, her dress was as if it was glued on her skin, it looked even sexier than if she was naked. Euan opened his mouth, but didn't speak.
He took off his jacket rudely, and wrapped Riley into it, then he took her into his arms.
The second time, it was the second time that he had to cover for her.
She was being embarrassing outside, but he had to clean up her mess, how many times was she planning on doing this again?
Riley was so cold that she was trembling all over, her lips were dark blue, her face was so pale that it had no color at all, "I need to explain that, I don't have mental issues!" Even her voice sounded cold, when she opened her mouth, steam came out.
The two of them were very close to each other, her ice cold body was leaning against his hot chest, ice and fire met, and her heart was racing.
"You want to explain? Riley, don't you think you have been embarrassing enough? Do you really want them to think that you aren't normal?"
The two of them were whispering to each other so that the guests couldn't hear anything, but they were wondering about the sudden flirtatious atmosphere between the two of them.
Euan had always been a cold and emotionless person, why would he help a mad woman? What was that about?
"You... you win!"
"You should know."
Euan passed by the crowd, the men still didn't dare to look up.
He grabbed her hand and they left the party, she was so cold that she wanted to grab a blanket and wrap herself into it immediately, but compared to the coldness she felt on her body, the coldness in Euan's eyes was even worse. Why would he show her such an expression? He was the one that was being close to Lydia while the Watson family was watching! They had been secretly married for three years, others didn't know, but the Watson family knew.
He didn't allow her to keep any dignity at all.
When she thought about that, Riley didn't bother about herself freezing and struggled, "Euan, why bother? You have slapped me in front of everyone, and now you are helping me, what do you mean by that? First you slap me and then you give me a piece of candy? Do you want me to feel touched?"
Euan's dark eyes flashed in the darkness of the night, "So you wanna go back and keep embarrassing yourself? Do you want to jump another time to prove that you are actually mad? Or do you want to go back and be shamed on by your stepmother and sister? Riley, you think you are so smart, so calm, but what I have seen today really taught me a lesson!"
Riley was surprised by his words, it wasn't about his mocking, it was that Euan was always a friend of few words, but today he talked so much with just one breath, his voice was deep like wine, and it carried coldness, every words that entered her ears was putting her in a trance. "What are you looking at?" His voice was still cold.
Riley evened her brows, raised her chin and looked at his handsome face, his perfect lines, he was so handsome that she would never get enough of him, "Euan, are you schizophrenic?"
Euan frowned, "What are you telling me?"
"Ah!"
She suddenly screamed in a low voice and stopped walking, Euan grabbed her arms, and stood straight, "What happened?"
"My foot."
When she mentioned her foot, he lowered his head to look, she was bare feet, she was walking on stones with her white feet, and because of the pain, her little toes were all spread out, it looked like the heads of little puppets that were raised. It looked very cute, her skin was very light, and her feet were even whiter.
She wore size 36 shoes, it was a little out of balance compared to her height, but just by looking at her pair of feet, they looked like the ones of a statue.
This stupid woman!
Euan impatiently picked her up, her feet were swinging in the air, and she was wrapped in his warm hug.
Their skin touched, and her heard was racing, because of this close gesture, Riley's ears suddenly started burning.
"What is happening? Why did Mr. George suddenly pick her up? Do they really have such a good relationship?"
"Euan changes his women faster than Chanel can make new bags, let's forget about the ones he had hugged, even the ones he had slept with are uncountable."
"But, wasn't he with Lydia just now? And I heard they were quite stable, and Lydia is even pregnant with his child, isn't he a little over the line doing this now?"
"You have no idea! Do you think Euan would be with one woman forever? You must be dreaming? Even if there were ten Lydia's, they couldn't keep him forever. I guess that Riley is his mistress, whenever he feels like it, he would take her, get some change." "You are right, Lydia and Riley were two completely different types, what would she compare herself with an international star with?"
The whispering came from the crowd of girls, and the further the two of them went, the louder the gossip became, Riley who was in Euan's arms, was so mad that she was trembling, her eyes filled with anger.
"Euan, this is what you wanted, right?"
When she asked that, he almost threw her on the ground, "So?"
He was for real!
She laughed, and wrapped her clothes tighter, she got closer to him to keep warm, "Great, you are never going to let a single chance to to make me ashamed, this really looks like your, alright then, play your games, as soon as you get tired of it, let me know, I will prepare the divorce papers and wait for you."
This stupid woman, did she feel itchy if she didn't talk about the divorce for a couple of days?
Elijah drove the black Bentley to the side of the rode, and when he saw Euan carrying Riley out of the building, he opened the back door, Euan slid Riley into the car in a smooth move.
This slide was so smooth.
Euan didn't get on the back seat, he closed the door, "Elijah, collect all the phones at the party, and take care of those that were taking pictures!"
Elijah nodded, Yes, Sir."
Euan's clothes were also wet because of Riley, when he dropped her in the car, the wind blew, and he felt the coldness.
This stupid woman, she must feel even colder.
He knit his brows and didn't feel good.
"So, Sir, who is going to drive? I think you had a few drinks..." Ah!
Shit!
Euan took out his phone, "Hendrix, listen..."
Euan passed on the command on to the second son of the George family, and told Hendrix that if he couldn't take care of this situation, he would keep a seat for him at the George family party. Hendrix was left to clean up the mess, and Elijah started the car.
"Turn on the heat."
"Yes."
"Higher."
"It's already... yes."
Riley and Euan were on the back seat, when she sat down she made a big puddle, the leather seat was all wet, and the water was spreading all over the seat.
She moved to the side, afraid she might make Euan's pants wet as well.
"Sir, where are we going?"
Euan's eyes showed disdain, "Where do you stay?"
Was he going to send her home?
Riley mentioned the address.
Euan looked at her sideways, "To that address."
Elijah replied, "Yes, Sir."
Was he going to bring her home? It's been three years, this was the first time, no, this was actually the news of the century.
The two in the back seat were silent and didn't speak, while Elijah felt that the world was finally getting better.
The black Bentley pulled up at the mid class district, and parked, Euan looked at the environment of the district, the street lights were dim, the garden was kept simple, and there were barely any outdoor entertainment.
She would rather live here than in his villa, she was cruel to herself!
"Get off."
Riley opened the door, and stepped on the street bare feet, but then Euan followed.
"Why are you getting off?"
Euan raised his head to look at the building, the smile on his cold thin lips vanished, "Is this how you are going to thank me for saving your life?"
