Chapter 365
He slid into the driver’s seat and waved mockingly at Henry, “Goodbye, Mr. Harding! Enjoy your solitude—I’ve got better places to be!”
Henry watched the ostentatious yellow sports car speed away, angrily kicking a small stone on the sidewalk.
As if Sophia would ever fall for you,‘ he muttered. Shortly afterward, a sleek black S–class Mercedes pulled up beside him.
Henry barely waited for the door to open completely before jumping in. “Follow that yellow Lamborghini!” he commanded.
Free from both men’s suffocating attention, I felt genuinely relaxed for the first time.
The amusement park entrance was just ahead, and Billy spotted a cotton candy vendor–he always got distracted by these food stalls. After purchasing the cotton candy, I realized an embarrassing fact–1 had left both my wallet and phone at the hotel!
Embarrassed, I asked the vendor if I could use his phone to make a call.
Meanwhile, Alexander was zipping through the streets in his conspicuous yellow Lamborghini, desperately searching for me, with Henry’s black Mercedes following relentlessly behind. No matter how fast the Lamborghini accelerated, it couldn’t shake the persistent black car.
Suddenly, Alexander’s phone rang–an unknown number. Thinking it might be a business associate, he frowned slightly before answering.
“Hello? Who’s this?”
The other end was filled with wind noise and the chaotic sounds of a busy street. After a moment, he heard a familiar voice: “Alexander? It’s Sophia.
His face lit up instantly. “Sophia! Where are you? Send me your location and I’ll come right away!”
I laughed awkwardly, explaining my embarrassing predicament. “I’m so sorry to trouble you like this.”
Having to ask Alexander to bring me just ten dollars was mortifying, but Alexander chuckled warmly.
“Don’t be silly! The fact that you’re asking me for help means you consider me a friend, someone you can count on. That makes me happy.”
“Great, I’ve got your location. Give me a few minutes–I’ll be right there.” After hanging up, Alexander couldn’t suppress his smile, instructing his driver to head for the amusement park.
Ten minutes later, Alexander parked by the roadside. He approached the vendor with a hundred–dollar bill in hand.
“I’m so sorry for the inconvenience,” he said politely, paying the man and buying several cotton candies–one each for me, Billy, his driver, and himself.
Seeing Alexander’s generosity, the vendor complimented: “Miss, you’ve got yourself a fine boyfriend! Handsome, well–mannered, and generous. You’re one lucky lady!”
This comment delighted Alexander, who promptly bought several more treats. “I have to say, sir, you have excellent taste. My wife is indeed beautiful, capable, and kind–hearted.”
My face immediately reddened, and I was about to clarify our relationship when a black Mercedes came speeding toward us. The car executed a perfect drift before stopping directly in front of me.
Before the vehicle had completely stopped, Henry jumped out. He had clearly overheard the vendor’s words, and a feeling of jealousy burned
inside him.
He quickly positioned himself beside me, possessively wrapping an arm around my waist as he addressed the vendor: “Sir, this is MY wife. Are

you blind? We’re the married couple, and that boy is MY son!”
The vendor looked between Henry and Alexander, utterly confused. ‘How am I supposed to know what’s true? If you’re really her husband, why didn’t she call you for help instead of this gentleman?”
“The first gentleman arrived so quickly, looking genuinely concerned–surely he must be her husband? And if this young lady is truly your wife, why is she pushing your hand away from her waist?”
The vendor’s pointed questions left Henry speechless. As I wriggled out of his grasp, he stood frozen, his heart sinking.
Henry clearly realized he was no longer my first choice!
I shot him a disgusted glare. “Henry, what’s wrong with you now?”
When he grabbed my wrist, his voice caught in his throat.
“Why didn’t you call me first?”
