CHAPTER 88 - LARA WAS BEATEN

Lara Jean was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

She glared at Chuck Cannon with disdain. "Then look all you want. But can you touch me? You can only look for the rest of your life." Lara shot Chuck another glare and snorted. When she saw her cousin, Charlotte Yates, coming over, she walked over.

Chuck laughed. "I'm afraid you don't know that I'm your Local Tyrant!" He thought. I'll see what you'll do tonight!

Charlotte came over and suggested that they could have a barbecue. It would be cheaper to eat as a group. Moreover, the plaza has some good barbecue restaurants. Chuck had no objections. He thought that he might as well pack a meal for Yvette Jordan. After all, it was already time for lunch.

However, when he looked up, he saw that Yvette had just come out of a restaurant alone. She was perspiring slightly. He guessed that Yvette must have eaten some spicy dishes for lunch.

After her meal, Yvette did not see Chuck but directly took the elevator to her office. She had been very busy recently, so she should be in a hurry to deal with the company's affairs. Chuck recently realized that Yvette was busy until late at night. He felt quite distressed that she was being overworked.

He sighed.

"I'm starving. Come on, stop dawdling and I am not asking you to pay for the meal anyway." Lara's unhappy voice came over.

Chuck walked over.

Charlotte put her hand on Lara, who was even more upset. "It's true, cousin. Let me tell you, this guy cheated me of 6,000 dollars the last time!"

Charlotte was surprised. "Chuck is so rich, why would he want to cheat her for so little money?"

"What's going on?" Charlotte asked in a low voice.

Lara curled her lip and explained. Charlotte rolled her eyes at her and said, "You think he's stupid, don't you?"

"What? He agreed to let me bring a friend over. But in the end, he didn't pay for it. I hate him so much." Lara said.

"Nonsense. It's your fault. 6000 is nothing for him." Charlotte really couldn't keep her cousin under control.

"What are you talking about? He's really poor. If you ask him to take out six thousand dollars now, he definitely won't have it," Lara said.

Charlotte was helpless. It wasn't a problem for him to bring out tens of thousands of dollars and she has this view about him. Unfortunately, Lara had no idea!

Chuck walked over. Charlotte hurriedly told Lara not to say anything more. She just wanted to have a good meal.

The three of them took the elevator upstairs and went to the fourth floor for lunch. They entered a hotpot restaurant and sat down. After ordering, the three of them began to eat.

In fact, there was a reason why Lara was in good shape. She liked meat, and there were all kinds of meat. Charlotte just ate more vegetables. No wonder she was so thin.

Chuck ate everything. The meal was not bad. The three Of them ate for less than 200 dollars. Charlotte went to pay the bill.

"So this settles it," Lara said to Chuck

"What do you mean?"

"You bought dinner the last time, so we're even now!" Chuck was speechless. The last time, he spent more than 7,000 dollars, but this meal cost only 200. How could they compare? However, Chuck didn't think too much about it and just nodded.

"You still think it's a loss, don't you? My cousin and I have been peeped at by you for the whole morning, and we suffered a loss." Lara was not happy, and the more she thought about it, the more unhappy she felt.

"Does this bastard really have the nerve to ask women to pay for him? No wonder he is single."

Chuck ignored her and drank up the rest of the drinks. He didn't want to waste them. Lara saw his behaviour, which made her murmur disapprovingly.

"It seems that he has never had a drink before. Such a cheap person and my cousin says that he can fork out 6,000 dollars. Is it possible?"

But at this time, a surprised and unexpected voice came to Chuck's ears. "Chuck..."

As soon as Chuck turned around, he saw a few people coming out of the restaurant after finishing their meal. They were Zelda Maine, Manny, and the other two ladies.

Manny was the one who called his name. She thought she was mistaken. After all, there was a young and pretty girl sitting opposite him.

In the morning, why hadn't Chuck come over? Zelda had said that Chuck was busy with work and she didn't think much about it. But if he was busy with work how could he be hanging out with a girl for lunch?

Manny was furious, and the other two women were quite conservative too. How could he? He was Zelda's man.

How could he come out to have lunch with another girl?

Zelda was embarrassed. She really had no choice. Her mother insisted on coming here to have lunch and said that she wanted to see how big the plaza was. She didn't want to, but the three women forced her to come and finally agreed that the plaza was not too bad.

Zelda was really helpless. She wanted to finish her meal and leave as soon as possible. After all, she had told her mom that Chuck was not in the plaza. Otherwise, Manny would definitely ask her to call him out. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Originally, she was feeling uneasy eating there. She hoped that she would not bump into him during the meal. Alas, she spotted him eating with another girl whom she had seen before. This girl had made trouble in Zelda's restaurant previously and offered to sleep with Chuck for a night. Now that they were eating together, was it because they had slept together before?

Zelda sighed in her heart. "So when I offered to 'help' him in the car last night, he actually did not want it? He would want to let this girl do it instead?"

Surprised, Chuck immediately stood up and greeted the ladies politely.

Lara recognized Zelda. The last time, she had been slapped by Zelda. She instinctively was afraid of Zelda and subconsciously did not dare to look at Zelda.

But in the eyes of the woman with tight jeans, this was a guilty conscience! "What a shameless girl! How dare you seduce Zelda's husband?"

She rushed over angrily and raised her hand to slap Lara. With a loud slap, many people heard the sound and immediately looked over.

Lara covered her burning cheek with her hand, and the grievance in her heart came out at once. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Why did you hit me?"

She didn't dare to say anything else because Zelda was also present.

"Why? You're shameless!" The woman with a pair of tight-fitting jeans glared at Lara.

Lara felt so wronged that she burst into tears.

"What are you talking about? I just came here to have lunch, and I didn't do anything wrong!"

The gazes of the people who were eating around made Lara feel ashamed and burst into tears.

Zelda was also shocked. She quickly held the woman with jeans back and said, "Don't do anything stupid." Chuck was also shocked. He didn't expect that the woman with tight jeans would suddenly slap Lara!

This was too sudden. Chuck thought that it must be the young woman with tight jeans who thought that Lara was a mistress stealing him from Zelda, so she hit Lara in anger.

After paying the bill, Charlotte ran over and saw that her cousin had been slapped. She also got angry and held Lara in her arms. "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing? You're so young but shameless! She deserved it!" The young woman with hot pants said coldly. Manny also frowned.

"Who is she? How dare you hook up with my son-in-law?"

"What are you talking about?" Charlotte was angry and was about to fight with the woman in tight jeans. She had a good relationship with Lara, so when she saw Lara was slapped, she had to rush over and protect her despite her petite size.

"Woo..." Lara ran out sobbing. Charlotte was anxious. "Lara..."

She looked at Chuck with a complex expression. She was worried that something would happen to Lara, so she immediately chased after her.

A waiter at the restaurant came over to ask about the situation. Zelda sighed and said that everything was fine.

"It's nothing? You're just a little girl. How could you be a mistress at such a young age? Shame on you!"

The young woman with hot pants said.

"That's right. With that appearance, how dare she go around seducing people?" The woman in the tight-fitting jeans was also disdainful.

Zelda was helpless. Chuck sighed. Lara had made two enemies today.

"Chuck, what's wrong with you?" Manny was serious. "What's going to happen to you? You're already two-timing before getting married. What will you do after you get married? Do you want to abandon your wife and kids?"

"I…." It was hard for Chuck to say anything. First of all, nothing really happened between him and Lara, but Manny and the other two were in a rage. It was useless for him to explain, they wouldn't believe him.

What's more, he was pretending to be Zelda's boyfriend. It was really going badly. Anyone would be angry if he didn't tell his "girlfriend" that he was having a meal with another girl. So it would be better if he didn't speak now.

"Mom, stop talking..." Zelda shook her head.

"Why?" Manny was serious. Today, she had to get straight to the point. She thought this son-in-law was a keeper, so she couldn't let others snatch him away.

Zelda felt helpless.

Manny then turned to Chuck and said, "You are young, I understand that you have some desires. But is it because my daughter can't satisfy your needs? That's why you are looking for other women?"

"Forget it. Young people really cannot control themselves. I think the two of them should get married as soon as possible."

"Yes, they should get married! They'll be fine after they get married!"

The two ladies also came up with some crazy ideas.
