Chapter 14 An Award Morning!
Then a frivolous voice sounded, "My future stepmom, do you think that it feels better to sit on my legs than my father's?" As soon as she heard that, she could tell it must be Cole.
Verena struggled to get herself off his legs.
But then Cole smiled at her, "Stepmom, though there is mere flab on your waist, it still feels good when I touch it!"
Lemuel stared at him with his lips pressed, "Behave yourself if you need a ride. Otherwise, get out of here!"
"Come on, Lemuel! I was just doing a favor for our stepmom in case she fell down." Cole looked at him and then grabbed Verena's shoulder, "As a filial stepson, I won't let you fall again. So please sit on my legs tight."
"Get off me!" Verena then slapped on his chest hard. Then she sat beside him.
She was aware that Cole must be a tricky type. So she wanted to keep herself away from him.
As soon as she moved a bit, she happened to touch Lemuel's leg again. She couldn't help but swallow and didn't dare to nudge a bit.
Cole was sitting on the left while Lemuel was on the right. She was being fixed in the middle and left no room to move. She felt like suffocated.
Cole smiled evilly. Then he tried to approach her even closer. When seeing her nudge away with her legs clinging to each other tight, he couldn't help feeling complacent.
He just wanted to embarrass her and then drive her out of his family.
Of course, he didn't want to keep such a young enchantress as his stepmother.
And she even dared to mock him for being insane before. So he decided to retaliate against her.
So he didn't intend to stop. Instead, Cole even started to touch her legs and slowly rubbed against them.
Verena was finally irritated, "Fuck off! Get your hand off me! Can you stop harassing others? You must be insane as I said before!"
Cole paused as he didn't expect that she mocked him in the same way again.
But then he shrugged, looking complacent, "I am insane! So what?"
Ignoring them, Lemuel continued with his black coffee.
Verena went really mad as she had never seen such a shameless guy before.
So she grabbed his hand and tried to get him off her legs. However, Cole resisted. Both of them kept bickering and sparring in the car. None of them intended to give up. Suddenly, they happened to reach to the right. Then a crack sounded in the car.
Both of them were stunned. Then they looked in the direction where the crack came.
When seeing that the delicate cup was broken into pieces and the black coffee splashed on the floor was still steaming, both of them were so frightened that they froze on spot.
The worst thing was that Lemuel's shirt was also steaming with black coffee streaming down his shirt. Obviously, both of them were the culprits.
They couldn't help swallowing and froze on spot.
Lemuel glanced at his own shirt and then glared at Verena with his cold eyes. Then he gritted his teeth, "You! Get off the car!"
When hearing that, she hurried to hop off the car.
Cole was still gloating.
"You! Get off!" Lemuel then turned to stare at him.
"Lemuel! I am your brother!"
"Get off now!"
Seeing that the veins on Lemuel's forehead were twitching out of anger, Cole didn't dare to insist. So he also got off the car.
Then the door was slammed shut in front of them.
Verena finally breathed a sigh of relief as she got off the car. She finally felt like coming back to life.
However, Cole looked quite frustrated.
The road was so remote that there were barely cars passing by. Not to mention a taxi.
Cole really regretted his stupid tricks just now.
He just wanted to embarrass Verena. But he didn't expect that he himself also got involved.
She glanced at Cole and finally felt better. What a retribution!
Cole crossed his arms on his chest while walking around Verena. Seeing her black long hair, he reached out his hand to yank it, "Say something! Are you feeling good for the payback right now?" Verena didn't want to argue with him. She just replied perfunctorily, "Come on, how dare I!"
Cole shook his head and still stared at her face. Then he said arrogantly, "Huh, but I could tell from your face that you don't think so! You are not clever enough to fool me!"
'What an annoying freak!' she turned a blind eye on her and then stood under the bus stop board.
Meanwhile, Lemuel loosened his tie and unbuckled the top three buttons of his shirt. His strong chest was revealed in the air and he lifted his cuffs a bit. He looked quite wildly domineering. Though he had wiped off the black coffee on his shirt with towel, the stain was still left there. He looked quite livid at this moment.
The chauffeur said cautiously, "Sir, there is something wrong with the engine."
"So?" he raised his eyes.
"I am afraid we can't move for the time being. Besides, your secretary said that the president named Mr. Louis coming from France arrived. So the meeting will begin at 8:00 AM." Lemuel looked at his watch and his face turned colder, "You have only ten minutes to fix it."
"Sir, I am afraid that I can't even if you spared me an hour..." The chauffeur couldn't help trembling.
He squinted at the chauffeur with his sharp eyes. Then he reached out his hand to his pocket on the suit. Suddenly, he looked more livid.
'Damn
I forgot to bring my phone!'
When seeing through the window that Cole was still wrangling with Verena, he fixed his eyes on him and got off the car.
When seeing that, Cole looked surprisingly happy. As expected, he knew that Lemuel wouldn't just abandon him halfway. He must come to pick him up!
As Cole had a very important press conference to attend soon, he couldn't be late.
He smiled and was about to utter. However, Lemuel's voice sounded, "Give me your phone!"
Cole looked quite upset. But he still handed Lemuel his phone.
"You don't even charge your phone?" Lemuel glared at Cole, looking sullen.
"But you don't even bring your own phone either." Cole argued in a low voice.
"How dare you refute!" Lemuel looked cold as usual while fixing his eyes on the road.
As rich as they were, the Lawson Mansion was located in a suburban area. Though the air was fresh, there was barely car or taxi passing by.
Verena shook her head and sighed. Suddenly, she saw a bus stopped beside the board.
She simply ignored them and hurried to get on the bus. But the two men were still standing at the bus stop, having no intention to get on.
'What a rich freak!'
But then she opened the window and reminded them in a mocking tone, "Are you sure you won't get on the bus? The next bus will arrive half an hour later. I have never expected that rich guys like you wouldn't even condescend yourselves to get on a bus. If you are not in a hurry, just keep waiting! I am leaving now!"
"You evil stepmom! Stop gloating!"
While Cole was still arguing, Lemuel looked at Verena's mocking face and then his own watch. He looked sullen with his lips pressed. Then he still got on the bus.
Cole was surprised. He didn't expect that Lemuel actually got on the bus.
Since it happened, Lemuel would definitely strike the headline of all news tomorrow.
Cole still hesitated. However, when seeing that the bus was about to leave, he gritted his teeth and still decided to get on.☐☐☐
