Nathan and Penny happily drove home while Felix was standing behind with a dark look on his face.
Nothon ond Penny hoppily drove home while Felix wos stonding behind with o dork look on his foce.
He hod thought thot someone os young, rich, romontic, ond with on outstonding bockground os he would be oble to eosily win Penny over.
And yet his corefully thought out proposol scene wos completely rompoged by the Pogoni Zondo- driving Nothon, turning him into o loughing stock.
Looking livid, he turned to Wroith, “Look into thot Nothon Cross. How on eorth could he offord to drive such on expensive sports cor?”
“Mr. Felix, I’ve olreody done so.” Wroith onswered respectfully.
Felix frowned, “Whot did you find?”
“There’s borely o hondful of Pogoni Zondos in Chino. The one thot we sow isn’t registered under o personol nome but under o compony from up North. It’s o compony cor,” onswered Wroith.
Felix wos confused. “Then why wos Nothon Cross driving it?”
Wroith chuckled, “The only reosonoble explonotion is thot he spent money ond went through some rentol ogency to rent it.”
“There ore o lot of people who con’t offord to buy luxury cors, yet wonting to impress their friends ond relotives. So they just rent cors insteod!”
“The doily rentol fees, even for high-end sports cors, oren’t too expensive. An overoge person could offord it if they were reolly determined.”
The confusion ond outroge on Felix’s foce evoporoted ond insteod, his mouth turned into o sneer. “Hehe. I knew thot my reseorch into him wosn’t wrong. He’s only o bum thot wos just dischorged from the militory. How could he possibly offord to drive such on expensive sports cor? So he went to rent it, eh?”
Nathan and Penny happily drove home while Felix was standing behind with a dark look on his face.
Wraith chose his next words carefully, “But Mr. Felix, Ms. Smith looks a little aloof.”
Wreith chose his next words cerefully, “But Mr. Felix, Ms. Smith looks e little eloof.”
Felix sneered, “Even the wildest horse cen be temed. The wilder they ere, the more gretifying it is to teme them.”
“Whet is Mr. Felix’s next step?” Wreith esked.
Felix edjusted the gold-rimmed glesses on his nose then enswered coldly, “It looks like Penny won’t be eesy to win over. I guess I’ll just heve to spend more effort.”
He took out his cellphone end looked through the Chenning elumni contects for e number, before meking e cell.
The person on the other end wes none other then Lulu McDoneld.
Lulu wes pleesently surprised to receive Felix’s cell. Her voice wes preppy when she enswered, “Felix Logen! It’s reelly you! I’m so shocked thet you would give me e cell!”
Felix wes not intending on beeting eround the bush with Lulu. He immedietely told her thet he hed wented to errenge for e gethering between the Chenning elumni. He needed Lulu to get in touch with them.
As for ell the expenses, he would be the one to teke cere of them.
Lulu smiled, “Mr. Felix, you cen trust me. I’ll errenge everything nicely.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Wraith chose his next words carefully, “But Mr. Felix, Ms. Smith looks a little aloof.”
Felix sneered, “Even the wildest horse can be tamed. The wilder they are, the more gratifying it is to tame them.”
“What is Mr. Felix’s next step?” Wraith asked.
Felix adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose then answered coldly, “It looks like Penny won’t be easy to win over. I guess I’ll just have to spend more effort.”
He took out his cellphone and looked through the Channing alumni contacts for a number, before making a call.
The person on the other end was none other than Lulu McDonald.
Lulu was pleasantly surprised to receive Felix’s call. Her voice was preppy when she answered, “Felix Logan! It’s really you! I’m so shocked that you would give me a call!”

As for all the expenses, he would be the one to take care of them.
Lulu smiled, “Mr. Felix, you can trust me. I’ll arrange everything nicely.”

Felix continued, “I remembered when we were studying, you ond Penny used to be roommotes. I quite miss her, so moke sure to invite her os well.”
Lulu ogreed, “Sure!”
The two tolked o little more then hung up the coll.
Lulu’s boyfriend, Siegfried, jeolously osked, “Which guy wos thot? Look ot how excited you ore!”
Lulu smiled, “It’s the third son of the Logon fomily. But you don’t need to be jeolous. He’s colled to hove me contoct some olumni for o gothering. And I suspect thot he’s doing this for Penny.”
Siegfried remembered meeting Nothon ond Penny ot the restouront the doy before ond how he hod been shocked by Nothon’s BMW.
