Chapter 30: Be Together

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand if Fiona didn't show up soon, I was about to step in and say something, but Alicia grabbed my arm and gave me a look with her big eyes, signaling me to just enjoy the show and not interfere.

Fiona couldn't sit still any longer and pushed the door open. "Jared, what do you want?"

"Fiona, be my girlfriend!" The guy, Jared Clark, got down on one knee, holding out flowers with both hands.

The crowd around us started cheering again. "Say yes..."

Alicia nudged me with her shoulder. "Are you jealous?"

Before I could say anything, Fiona looked at Jared coldly and said, "I don't know you well, and I'm not interested in you. Please don't do this. If you leave now, I'll pretend nothing happened, and we can still be friends."

Jared didn't expect Fiona to reject him in public. His face changed slightly, but he still forced a smile and said, "You might not know me well, but we can get to know each other. Don't worry, if you give me a chance, not only will I give you this Volkswagen CC, but in a few days, I'll give you a villa and a Mercedes!"

Hearing this, even Alicia beside me was tempted. "Wow, this guy is really going all out to pursue Fiona! Hey, Dennis, when will you give me such gifts?"

Fiona was speechless. "Jared, I'm not interested in you. If you keep pestering me, don't blame me for calling the police."

"Call the police?" Jared stood up and took off his sunglasses. "Fiona, I'm not afraid of the police. If you don't agree today, I won't be as polite next time."

Seeing Jared threatening Fiona, I couldn't hold back anymore and stepped forward. "Hey, she's already given you enough face. Why don't you get the hint and stop making a scene?"

"Who do you think you are!" Jared was already angry and turned to curse at me. When he saw my face, he sneered. "Oh, it's you, Fiona's brother? I've noticed you loitering around her clinic quite a bit. Got a little crush, do you?"

Jared pointed to his Volkswagen CC. "Let me tell you, we're not in the same league. You're just a waiter. Can you ever afford this car?"

"Car?" I was just a teenager, and Jared's words made me stubborn. "I don't care about it."

Jared, already embarrassed by Fiona, was now provoked by me and almost exploded. "Fine! I won't bully you. If you can bring a better car within half an hour, I'll leave!"

I looked at the onlookers. "Everyone, be my witness. Don't let him deny it later!"

Saying that, I called Allen.

I had helped him with two big favors, and he hadn't repaid me yet.

Allen quickly answered, and I told him I needed a better car than a Volkswagen CC, registered in my name, delivered within half an hour.

Allen, one of the wealthiest men in the county, agreed immediately. Even though I wasn't eighteen yet and couldn't legally own it, that was no issue for him. With that, he ended the call.

Jared looked at me like I was an idiot, full of mockery. "Are you acting with me? I'll wait and see!"

Fiona and Alicia were worried, knowing this wasn't a small matter.

I smiled at them, signaling them to relax.

About twenty minutes later, a Mercedes G-Class sped over.

Everyone was stunned, and some didn't even recognize the car, but those who did were shocked!

This car, not just in the county, but in the whole city, there were only a few.

Jared was dumbfounded, but still in disbelief until the driver got out, walked up to me, and handed me the keys and documents. "Mr. Howard, Mr. Moore has arranged everything. Please check."

I was taken aback by Allen's immediate generosity, and I felt a bit uneasy about accepting it. However, considering the two significant favors I had done for him in the past and the current circumstances, it didn't feel right to turn it down, so I agreed. "Thank you, I'll visit Mr. Moore another day."

Jared stood there for a few seconds, realizing that saying anything now would only embarrass him more. He greeted Fiona and drove away.

The crowd started cheering. "Be together!"

Fiona blushed, glanced at me, and ran back to the clinic. Alicia joked with the onlookers and pulled me into the clinic.

"Fiona, can we drive that car?" Alicia asked.

Fiona, no longer shy, glanced at me and held Alicia's hand. "Alicia, I think we can!"

I grinned and tossed them the keys. "It's for you to drive. I'm not even old enough to drive!"

The three of us joked around for a while. Fiona prepared lunch, and after eating with Lorenzo at the clinic, we all went to rest.

Fiona had patients to visit, and I helped watch the clinic.

Just as I was getting sleepy, Ronald called.
