Filed to story: Disdained Son-in-Law, Destined Riches >>
Although they shared the same dorm, Claire and Julie were not very close mainly because Julie was a very prideful and jealous woman.
She always thought that Claire did not deserve to be crowned as the belle of the college instead of her. However, the fact was that she paled in comparison to Claire in terms of appearance, body figure, temperament, and personality.
Credit where credit was due, this woman had a strong point—that was, in flirting and hooking up with guys. Rumors had it that she had hooked up with many wealthy guys that those men paid for all her expenses during her four years in college.
Claire frowned in irritation, but she still politely greeted them as they walked close out of courtesy. “Julie, long time no see. My husband and I are having dinner here, what about you?”
Julie gasped in a surprised tone. “Wow, so are we! What a coincidence!”
She managed a curious tone and asked, “By the way, which suite did you book? The normal suite, the premium suite, or the luxury?”
Claire knew nothing about Joe’s arrangement, so she answered honestly, “I’m not sure, it was my husband who made the reservation.”
At this moment, Julie finally noticed Joe, who had been standing quietly by Claire’s side. She covered her mouth and giggled as she said sarcastically, “Oh, so this is your husband, Joe, huh? He was famous as a deadbeat loser when we were in college!”
Her contemptuous sneer was particularly harsh and unpleasant.
Claire blushed in embarrassment.
Julie composed herself and hurriedly said apologetically, “Ah, I’m so sorry, I’m too straightforward and outspoken, I hope you don’t mind…”
Joe frowned in annoyance. This Julie seemed like a nasty person!
Julie didn’t notice how Claire’s expression suddenly changed. She pulled the man next to her with a smug smile on her face and said, “Let me introduce you to my husband, Kyle!”
Then, she complimented, “He is the young master of the Sullivan family and also the heir apparent to his family’s fortunes worth hundreds of millions!”
Claire nodded politely.
Joe, on the other hand, glared at the young couple in annoyance.
He brought his wife here for their wedding anniversary, who knew such an annoying blockhead would appear in their way!
Julie continued in her smug tone, “Oh, by the way, my husband is a platinum member, so he has a lot of benefits and privileges here. I guess the best Joe could get is the normal suite, am I right? Why don’t I let Kyle upgrade you guys to the luxury suite?”
Claire was about to reject her offer when Joe chuckled and said, “Well, I booked quite a nice place, so thanks but no thanks.”
He had booked the entire Sky Garden to make up a grand wedding for his dear wife, why was she so proud of being a mere platinum member?
Besides, his family owned the entire Shangri-La hotel chain. It would be a disgrace to his status if he took his wife to the luxury suite for platinum members.
There was an obvious expression of displeasure on Julie’s face as she sneered, “Claire, just look at your rude and ungrateful husband. How do you normally lecture him?”
She then wrapped her arms around Kyle’s, nestled her head on his shoulder, and said with a coy smile, “With that attitude, Joe doesn’t deserve to be at such an elegant and lavish occasion. I suggest that you let my husband guide him about aristocratic etiquette and how to carry himself. After all, my husband has spent some time studying in the UK.”
Kyle glanced disdainfully at Joe and smirked. “Dear, please don’t assign me such an impossible task. Mr… Mr. Smith here is so maverick and unique, it is a tough row to hoe.”
Julie nodded in agreement. She then turned to Claire and sighed, “In my opinion, I think you’d better divorce him as soon as possible. I feel so sorry that you’d have to spend the rest of your life with a loser like Joe!”
Julie blurted her remark in a straightforward manner without considering Claire’s feelings at all.
Claire pursed her lips indignantly and growled, “What do you mean by that? You don’t have the right to comment on my husband.”
Julie muffled her coy giggle and said, “I’ve despised you ever since we were in college. If it wasn’t because of your family’s wealth, do you think you deserve to be crowned as the belle of the college? Am I not allowed to talk about it now that you’re married to such a loser?”
Joe was in great dismay when he heard it.
Julie Downs had been a promiscuous and profane girl since she was in college. She hooked up with rich men, regardless of their age, using her young body and beautiful face. She was lucky to marry a wealthy man as she had always dreamed of, did she really think of herself as a wealthy young mistress?
Moreover, how dare she ridicule his wife?
She was digging her own grave!
A burst of anger surged inside him.
He took out his phone and texted Isaac, the general manager of Shangri-La. “I want all the information about Julie Downs, the daughter-in-law of the Sullivan family in Aurous Hill! Three minutes!”
Seeing Joe looking down at his phone quietly, Julie smirked. “Just look at your deadbeat husband. I’m mocking you but he doesn’t even dare to speak up and defend you. He really is a joke, hahaha!”
Right at this moment, Joe received Isaac’s reply. “Young Master, I’ve sent you the information about Julie Downs.”
Joe looked at the content of the long text message, then he looked up at Julie and Kyle with an amused smile and asked, “I have some interesting information here, do you want to hear it?”
Julie frowned and asked, “What information?”
Joe uttered loudly, “Julie Downs, 26 years old, graduated from Aurous University.”
“During your freshman year, according to records, you checked into different hotel rooms no less than a hundred times with eight different men, including Brett Cooley, Jack Pierce, and Austin Cannon.”
Julie’s face turned pale, her eyes wide and her mouth agape in extreme shock. She blurted angrily, “What the hell are you talking about! I’ll sue you for slander!”
On the other hand, deep frowning wrinkles started forming on Kyle’s forehead. He was obviously shocked and traumatized.
Joe started again, “Wow, this one is amazing. There were a few times that you checked in a hotel room with two men, Ben Decker and Jay Decker, at the same time. They were brothers, weren’t they? Were you in a threesome?”
Julie shrieked in horror, “Shut up! Shut up! It’s all bullshit!”
Joe ignored her and continued, “Also, during your sophomore year, you had a sugar daddy. He was the vice president of Herolutions Enterprise and paid you thirty thousand per month for three years. During this period of time, you had four abortions, you did all of them at the Aurous Women’s Hospital. During the last abortion, the doctor declared you infertile.”
He looked at Kyle and asked curiously, “Mr. Sullivan, if I’m not mistaken, you guys still don’t have a child together, am I right?”
Kyle’s face twisted in a disdainful grimace. He glared at Julie and shouted, “What is this?!”
Cold sweat drenched Julie’s face. She said in a panic, “Kyle, don’t listen to him. I was a virgin when I got with you! You know that!”
Joe managed a knowing smile. “Relax, more exciting stories coming up next!”
Julie tugged Kyle’s arm, trying to drag him away as she said in a panic, “Stop it! Let’s go, dear! We’re going to be late for dinner!”
Kyle stood as still as a rock. He frowned and said to Joe in a monotonous voice, “What else?”
Joe smiled. “Listen carefully. After Julie graduated from college, she underwent a total body makeover at a plastic surgery clinic. A month later, she worked at Sullivan Group. Then, she got to know you, Mr. Sullivan, by scratching your Bentley.”
Joe looked up at Kyle. “Am I right?”
Kyle was astounded.
