Chapter 28

However, Norman didn’t understand how Thomas had drawn a distinct line between the two sums ofmoney. Even though 750,000 was a lot of money, Thomas wasn’t drawn to it as he didn’t think that hedeserved that money. Meanwhile, even though his salary wasn’t a lot, Thomas didn’t ask for an off-daynor did he skip work. Since he had put in the effort to earn that money, Thomas didn’t think that his payshould be deducted!

Thomas turned and left without bidding goodbye to Norman. He didn’t like Norman and Ophelie at all.“That explains why I found his outfit so familiar. It turns out that he’s Olivia’s driver. That outfit is theuniform for Pearson Group’s drivers!” Ophelie finally realized what was going on. After a while, shestuck her lower lip out as she spoke in a grumpy tone. “He’s just a driver—who is he to act all arrogant?He’s just a staff member who’s getting his salary from us!”

“Ophelie!” Olivia couldn’t stand it any longer. “How could you say that?”

“You don’t know what happened, Olivia. He scolded me yesterday, and he was rude to me today! Youshould fire him!” Ophelie cried.

Olivia was stunned to hear this. “What happened?” she asked. Ophelie told her sister everything thathad occurred in the past two days. Olivia gazed at Norman thoughtfully. “Ophelie’s young andimmature, but how could you go along with this, Dad? Thomas is my savior. Isn’t it a little too much foryou guys to treat him that way?”

“Um…” Norman rubbed his nose awkwardly. “I have to leave now as I have some matters to handle inthe company.” He hurried off right after that—it was almost as if he were trying to escape the situation.If he were being honest, he knew that he had made a mistake, and he reflected on his actions while hewas on his way to work. “That young man is really something!” Norman muttered to himself.

After all, it might have been easy for a rich man to be unimpressed by a sum of 750,000, but it wasdifferent for a mere driver not to be intrigued by such a huge sum of money. The more I think about it,

the more I see that Thomas knows where he stands. However, he’s still firm with his principles when inthe face of such temptations. It’s clear that this man has a lot of willpower. This young man is a keeper!

After Thomas returned to the place he rented, he began to clean the place up since he didn’t havemuch else to do. He washed the sheets and bed covers before making himself a bowl of noodles forlunch. Then, he proceeded to mop the floor. The whole house was sparkling clean after a full day ofwork. Thomas beamed before he checked the time to see that it was nearing the end of a work day.“I’m going to cook today. I want Chloe to try out my cooking,” he uttered to himself.

So, he hurried to the market, where he purchased some ingredients for a feast. He bought some beef,seafood, vegetables, and other stuff before heading home with a large grin on his face. As he washeading back to his place, he heard two women arguing as he was heading up the stairs. “You have noright to say that about Thomas!” one woman cried.

“Hmph! Am I wrong? He’s just a rash and brainless piece of trash!” another woman cried. Thomaslooked up to replace two women in a debate with one another. One of them was Chloe—her face wasflushed, and she was clearly furious because of how the other person was offending Thomas.

When Thomas turned to see who the other woman was, he felt a ball of rage building up in his chest.The other woman was none other than Felice, the person who cheated on him! But… What is shedoing here? Apparently, after Thomas had broken both of Walt’s legs, he left Walt in a critical condition.The doctors had already made it clear that Walt would have to amputate both his legs if he wanted tosurvive.

However, Walt was also the man that Felice had ended up choosing from a pool of choices. He wasrich and powerful, yet Thomas had turned him into a cripple before Felice got to marry him. How wasFelice supposed to resolve the anger she felt over this matter? So, she asked around in search ofThomas’ whereabouts, and she charged over to hunt him down when she found out about his new

place. To her surprise, she bumped into Chloe, who had just returned from work before she could evenconfront Thomas.

Chloe didn’t know who Felice was, but she asked Felice if anything was the matter when she sawFelice standing in front of her door. Naturally, all the things that Felice said about Thomas wereunpleasant things that didn’t align with the heroic figure that Chloe believed Thomas to be. How couldChloe deal with that? That was how Chloe ended up in an argument with Felice.

“Thomas!” Felice’s gaze was filled with hatred as she glared at Thomas. She looked as if she wanted totear Thomas into pieces. She was especially furious when she saw all the delicious ingredients thatThomas had purchased from the market. My boyfriend is fighting for his life in the hospital bed; lookwhat you’re doing! You have a new girl, and you’re even about to have a good meal? Is there reallyjustice on earth?!

Thomas shot Felice a side glare without saying anything. “You b*stard, Thomas. You ruined myhappiness. Walt is going to have to amputate his legs, and it’s all because of you!” she cried. Thomasscoffed at her words. “You guys deserve it! You cheated on me, and you even tried to rob me of mymoney. I was being kind by allowing him to live!” Thomas didn’t feel the least bit sorry for Walt—to him,Walt was just a brat whose hands were still itchy for other women even when he had broken his arm.

Naturally, Thomas didn’t feel any sympathy for Felice either. She could have told me honestly if she fellfor another man. I was gone for eight years when I went into the military, after all. She didn’t have towait for me, and I wouldn’t have stopped her if she wanted to break up with me. But… why did she lieto me? Did she do it just so I would give her money every month? Thomas wasn’t a selfish andcalculative man. He wouldn’t have hated Felice if she had just asked to break up with him earlier on. Infact, he could’ve been friends with her, and he would’ve helped her out if she ever faced issues with herfinances.

Who does she think she is? I came back expecting to be greeted by my girlfriend’s warm embrace andsweet words, yet I ended up receiving the news that I had been cheated on for eight years. On top ofthat, they even had the guts to ask me for money. Do they really think I’m an easy man they can justtrample all over?

“I’m not going to let you go! Just you wait, Thomas! I, Felice, will haunt you for the rest of my life!”Felice clenched her fists in rage. If she hadn’t witnessed Thomas’ combat skills, she might have juststarted a fight with him right then! “I see what’s going on now! You shameless b*tch! How dare youcome to our place?” Before Thomas could say anything, Chloe lost her temper. Does she think I’m justgoing to keep quiet after knowing that she’s the one who cheated on Thomas?!

Smack! Right after Chloe finished her words, Felice held her hand up to give Chloe a fierce slap. “Whodo you think you are? How dare you curse me?” Then, Felice turned around to glare at Thomas.“Thomas, you filthy, unwanted orphan! You stupid military soldier! A b*stard like you deserves to becheated on for the rest of your life! I’m definitely going to avenge my boyfriend! I’m going to do it even ifit’s the last thing I do! Just you wait!”
