Chapter 190 Encountering Unreasonable People
There was no response from the other side, after a slight pause, they asked, “What does Ms. Conner
want to eat?”
While I was speaking, someone pushed the door open. It was a staff member dressed in a cheongsam,
who handed me the menu.
I had intended to be polite to the person across from me, but the person across from me said, “Ms.
Conner, just order what you like, don’t mind me, I’ve already ordered.”
Seeing this, I nodded slightly, casually ordered a few dishes, and looking at the blurry shadow behind
the screen, I said, “Mr. Monroe,
thank you.”
A soft laughter seemed to come from across, and a moment later he said, “Is Ms. Conner planning to This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
thank me for the entire meal?”
I opened my mouth, momentarily at a loss for words.
The person across seemed not to mind and continued, “Ms. Conner, there’s no need to be polite with
me. I just arrived in River City to develop, and there might be many things that will trouble Ms. Conner
in the future. I hope that Ms. Conner won’t find me annoying. Of course, rest assured, Ms. Conner, I
won’t trouble you with anything inappropriate or illegal.”
I nodded slightly, with too many doubts in my heart. But I couldn’t even see the face of the person
across from me clearly, so I really didn’t know how to talk to him.
The waiter served the dishes, and Sebastian did not appear until dinner was finished.

It wasn’t until someone came in to remind Daniel across the table that it was getting late and he should
go rest, that the man across spoke up, “Ms. Conner, it’s getting late. I’ll arrange for someone to take
you home later. I hope we can keep in touch more in the future.”
I looked at the blurry figure across from me and hummed in response. After uttering a few polite words,
the person across from me suddenly spoke, “Ms. Conner, it seems we haven’t exchanged contact
information yet. Would you mind giving me your phone number?”
He took the initiative to bring it up and I found it hard to refuse, so I nodded and said, “Okay.” As I was
saying this, I took out my phone from my bag, wondering how to leave my contact information for him,
when a man in a black suit stepped out from beside the screen and handed me a phone.
Seeing this, I took the phone, saved my number on it, and then returned the phone to the man in
black.
The man in black said two words in a measured tone, “Thank you.”
Afterwards, he took the phone and walked around the screen to the other side.
Daniel’s voice came next, calm and natural, “Ms. Conner, we’ll see each other another day.”
I nodded in response, “Okay!”
For a moment, I hesitated. Should I leave first? Or should I wait for him to leave before I go?
Seeing that it didn’t move, I picked up my bag, said goodbye again, and left the private room by walking
around the screen.
In the corridor, I increasingly found it strange. Was this friend,
Sebastian, really so mysterious?

I was preoccupied with my thoughts and didn’t notice the person rushing towards me from the opposite
direction. By the time I realized it, I had already been knocked down, hearing a cry of pain near my ear.
I instinctively reached out to help, seeing that the person who fell with me was a young girl with a
furrowed brow. I quickly asked, “Are you okay?”
The little girl looked at me, her brows furrowed, not knowing whether it was due to pain or
dissatisfaction, she said, “Don’t you watch where you’re going? Didn’t you see me running and make
way? You’re so slow.”
Saying so, she pushed me away, patted her crumpled clothes, and gave me an annoyed glare.
I was momentarily stunned by her reaction for a few seconds, and couldn’t help but frown. Looking at
her, I said, “The person who bumped into me for no reason was you.”
Hearing my voice, she paused in the act of dusting off her clothes, looked up and sized me up before
saying, “Won’t you dodge if I bump into you?”
I couldn’t help but laugh at her logic, saying, “What? If someone gets hit by a car that doesn’t follow the
rules on the street, it’s the person’s fault for not being careful?”
She pouted, clearly annoyed, and pulled out some dollars from her bag and threw them at me, saying,
“You’re so ungracious. You just want money, right? Just say it. Here, take it. I’m rewarding you,
beggar.”
My originally calm state of mind was disrupted at that moment, a lump of anger surged up in my chest.
Seeing her throw down the money and intending to leave, I reached out and grabbed her, not bothering
to waste words with her, and directly pushed her against the corridor

wall.
She didn’t react in time, and being young and physically weak, she was knocked against the wall by my
bump. Her nose started bleeding instantly from the impact.
“Ah!” The little girl screamed in pain, covering her nose and glaring at me with wide eyes, shouting,
“You’re fucking asking for it…”
“Slap!” Over the years, the Conner family and the Hinton family had suffered greatly due to me. I never
showed mercy to others. With this slap, the young girl’s face was completely swollen and red.
She probably never expected that I would actually hit someone. After being stunned for a moment, she
suddenly pounced at me like a lion with its fur standing on end, roaring, “How dare you hit me, who the
hell do you think you are? Even my dad has never laid a hand on me, I’ll kill you.”
