Chapter 124: I Haven’t Been Lowly for Just a Day or Two

Chapter 124: I Haven’t Been Lowly for Just a Day or Two

I'm such a complete idiot!

Why couldn't I just stay calm, observe for a while, and then break off the engagement with Anthony?

Maybe that way, I would've discovered how extraordinary Anthony really is.

Then everything Poppy has now would all be mine.

Not only would I have twenty million in hand, but I could also legitimately live with Anthony in the most impressive landmark building in all of Colorado—Hiram Manor No. 1.

Just thinking about it gets me excited, my blood boiling.

Once I reached that point, my family would definitely see me in a whole new light.

The worst part is, back at that class reunion, I lashed out at Anthony and angered Annie. Before, I was confused why a rich girl like her would protect Anthony like that. If I was totally confused before, now I seem to get it.

Maybe Anthony has already reached that level, already on equal footing with Annie.

Otherwise, why would Annie stand up for him at every turn?

And for his sake, she even cut off trade with my family.

That didn't hurt Annie's company much—she could just switch suppliers.

But for my family's business, it was a devastating blow.

Terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

Theresa, having figured this out, was shaking violently.

The facts before her seemed to confirm her huge mistake.

It wasn't just Annie. Now even someone like Isabelle was standing up to speak well of Anthony and protect him. What does that tell you?

Isn't it obvious enough?

Having figured this out, Theresa felt like a complete idiot.

If she hadn't fallen out with Anthony, how would she be facing such an awkward situation?

By now, she might already be covered in glory, with even families like David's looking up to her with admiration.

Instead of now, begging David endlessly, having to let him use her in bed in every way, not daring to say a word of protest, only able to cooperate obediently.

Thinking this way, Theresa was instantly filled with resentment.

All this glory should have been hers, but now it was slipping further and further away.

No wait, not slipping away—it had nothing to do with her at all.

Fuck, what did I do wrong back then? Missing out on such a great son-in-law from a wealthy family, and stupidly pushing him to someone else.

Thinking this way, her heart trembled with painful regret.

No, this glory belongs to me, I must get it back.

Thinking this, Theresa looked over at Anthony in shock, only to find him standing there with his arms crossed, not even glancing at her.

If before, seeing Anthony with that attitude made her think he was showing off, now Theresa thought his demeanor was completely justified.

After all, he now had the courage and power to look down on everything.

Thinking this, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped herself twice.

The loud slaps quickly drew everyone's attention.

All eyes turned to Theresa's face.

At this moment, everyone looked confused.

No one knew why Theresa suddenly slapped herself.

Even David beside her was stunned.

"Theresa, are you crazy? Why are you slapping yourself? If you're gonna hit someone, hit those two."

David pointed at Anthony and Poppy.

If David had done this before, Theresa would definitely have smiled and nodded.

But now when she looked at David, her face was full of impatience.

"David, shut up. Now I deeply regret why I got involved with you before Anthony got out of prison."

At these words, David was completely stunned.

"What, you bitch, are you having regrets? Don't tell me now that this Anthony has a little money, you want to switch sides?"

He thought that after saying this, Theresa would obediently come back to him, or at least look embarrassed.

But David was disappointed in the end. What he got in response was an angry shout.

"Congratulations, you got it right. That's exactly what I want to do. So what?"

"You have no ability yourself, yet you look down on others. You think twenty million is small money? Then what kind of big shot are you?"

"I've been with you all this time, when have you ever given me twenty million?"

"To be honest, you give me three hundred, two hundred all the time, but is that what I want? You're basically treating me like a beggar..."

"You..." David, having his dirty laundry aired, was now completely exposed.

This made him furious.

He never expected that when he and Theresa came to laugh at Anthony and Poppy, this bizarre scene would unfold.

His bed partner suddenly turned on him, making David's face extremely ugly.

This scene was more humiliating than being slapped a dozen times in public.

What did this mean?

It meant Anthony had powerful charisma.

Without doing anything, he effortlessly took her away from him.

He thought Theresa would be his loyal follower.

But now, the reality before him made David instantly realize he'd been thinking too much.

This made David almost explode with anger.

He felt he'd never been so humiliated—before he could even fight his opponent, his own side had already fallen apart.

What was most infuriating was that the one who left without hesitation or any attachment was his best partner and bed companion.

This was what he couldn't stand most.

David roared like a wounded beast, throwing his head back.

But at this moment, Theresa didn't even look at him.

This made David's heart feel like it was being cut by countless knives, instantly riddled with holes, dripping with blood.

"You bitch, seeing he has money, you want to go back to him again."

David, furious and defeated, had lost all his gentlemanly composure.

In front of everyone, completely crazy, he pointed at Theresa and started cursing.

"You gold-digger, bitch, I knew you were cheap before, but I didn't know you'd sunk this low..."

Hearing the cursing behind her, Theresa turned around and smiled faintly at him.

"David, look at yourself, all worked up like that. I've been cheap for more than just a day or two—are you only finding out now?"

One sentence left David's mouth twitching, unable to say another word.

It seemed he'd underestimated how shameless his bed partner was.

She dared to admit in front of everyone that she was cheap.

And apparently, it was already a habit.

Already shameless to this degree, no cursing could hurt this kind of woman. What else could he say?
