Chapter 12 You Were So Cool
Riley stared at Euan and Lydia as she smiled bitterly. She quickly changed her expression from sour to
indifferent before someone else could see it.
Hendrix took a glass of wine from a waiter’s tray. He observed Riley’s reaction from afar.
He was shocked and confused to see how indifferent she was even after seeing her husband hugging
another woman.
But his confusion only lasted for a few seconds. When he looked up again, he saw Riley storming
towards Euan!
Hendrix put one hand on the food rack and held the wine glass with his other. He looked apathetic yet
elegant.
He wanted to see what Riley was going to do.
The wound on Riley’s knee reopened and she could feel a sharp pain throughout her leg. The pain
then spread towards her body. She felt like strangling Euan and Lydia to relieve her pain!
Euan and Lydia were surrounded by people and they didn’t notice Riley. The guests didn’t know who
Riley was, but they let her through as she was emitting killing intent.
She didn’t want to just expose their adultery and thought of an idea to make the night more interesting.
Hendrix noticed that Riley turned away and left the crowd!
What was she planning to do?
In the midst of the crowd, Riley walked swiftly pass them and disappeared around a corner.
Euan who was surrounded by the crowd squinted his eyes. He thought he saw someone familiar just
now. It felt more familiar the more he stared.
He wanted to look more clearly but he couldn’t see the person anymore.
Riley walked through the merry crowd and took a deep breath as she stood behind a Roman pillar. She
lifted her skirt and noticed that the blood was seeping through the bandage on her knee. Her wound
had worsened.
There were waitresses constantly walking pass the corridors next to her. Riley lowered her head and
quickly walked towards the stairs. She avoided the surveillance camera and walked down one floor.
If she remembered correctly, this was the place.
And she was right. Riley smiled.
The brightly lit hall suddenly turned pitch black! All the lights went out!
Noises of glasses being shattered, and tables being overthrown could be heard. The guests were
yelling, and the female guests were screaming. There was a huge commotion in the hall!
“Everyone, calm down! It’s just a power failure! Stay where you are and wait for the workers to fix the
issue!”
“Don’t panic! Don’t panic!”
“Stay where you are! It’s just a temporary outage!”
The workers of the MBK Entertainment Center were yelling on the top of their lungs trying to calm the
customers down. But the scene was already way too chaotic, there was at least a few hundreds of
people in the hall and they were all howling at each other uncontrollably!
Some guests took out their phone and turned on the flashlight. The white floor was stained with wine
and it was a mess. Shattered wine glasses were also all over the floor.
“Euan! Euan!”
Lydia hugged her arms around Euan’s neck amid the chaos. Euan glanced at her in the dark and
calmly grasped her thin wrist. He then moved her arms away, “I’ll go see what’s up.”
Lydia didn’t think that Euan would abandon her like that, she was embarrassed and angry at the same
time, “But Euan, I’m scared…”
Euan frowned, “Get out of the hall if you’re scared.”
“I…”
Just when Lydia was about to talk, Euan turned around and left, walking into the darkness.
Euan grimaced, he thought about the familiar figure he saw just now. Was that her?
Hendrix smiled brightly the moment the lights went out. He thought Riley was chickening out just now
and was going to just take it, but she had a greater plan in mind.
Dr Watson, you were so cool!
Hendrix left the hall swiftly amid the chaos and went downstairs.
But Riley wasn’t outside of the control room. The control room was filled with workers trying to get
things to work again.
“The wire was cut off, it’s going to be hard to reconnect it.”
“I don’t care how hard it is, just fix it! The guests today are important people, we cannot afford to offend
them.”
“Okay, we’ll try our best.”
Hendrix smiled contently hearing the electrician’s conversation. Job well done, Riley.
Euan walked out the main building passing through the revolving glass door. He looked around
searching for the “criminal”. He was glaring so hard, it was as if he could cut people into halves with
that sharp gaze of his.
Outside the parking lot.
Riley stood in front of Euan’s black Roles-Royce. She crossed her arms and stood in front of the car.
She then took out a lipstick from her bag and opened the lid slowly. After that, she started drawing in
full seriousness on the windscreen…
Euan, you asshole. How dare you brought Lydia the wench to a public banquet?
Riley couldn’t tell if she was feeling anger or pain. The scene of Lydia lying in Euan’s arm kept
emerging in her mind. Her heart ached as if something had sliced through her heart.
It wasn’t just pain that she felt, she also felt helpless.
She was his wife! His wife!
Suddenly, she heard clapping sound coming from yonder. She stopped drawing and looked up. It was
Hendrix and he was lying against the car door.
“Riley, that was amazing. I respect you,” said Hendrix as he smirked. The expression on his handsome
and young face was of a common smug look belonging to a rich young master.
Riley scoffed, “You’re not bad yourself. You found me here.”
Hendrix looked at the graffitied windscreen. He read the words out loud, “Asshole, give me back my
money… Riley, well…What is this?”
Riley threw the lipstick on the ground and wiped her unsullied hand. She snickered and said, “Why? Is
this not good enough?”
Hendrix shook his head, “Nope, it’s not threatening enough. The degree of revenge is not high
enough.”
“Oh, are you the expert now?” Riley crossed her arms and looked at him composedly, “What would you
write then?”
Hendrix picked up the lipstick from the ground and held it between his fingers, “Well, I wouldn’t write novelbin
anything, but I’ll draw something on it.”
Riley stared at Hendrix silently as he drew a skull on the windscreen…
“This is what you were planning to draw? So childish!”
Hendrix threw away the lipstick and explained himself, “I’m making it more artistic!”
Who would care about that?
Riley turned around and was going to leave. She saw Euan with his hands in his pocket. He stared at
her and Hendrix coldly from afar.
The air suddenly turned colder than ice.
So cold that she could hear ice breaking and falling onto the ground.
Hendrix turned his head and met his brother’s eyes. He cried out loud in his heart. Shit, he was caught
red-handed!
Riley didn’t look remorse and wasn’t afraid at all. She looked at Euan right into his wintry eyes and
snickered under her breath. He was looking at Lydia so lovingly just now, but he was staring at her so
coldly. Euan, you sure treated me well.
“Brother, what a coincidence,” said Hendrix, trying to divert his attention. He could see in his brother’s
eyes that he was ready to tear Riley apart anytime now.
Euan glared coldly at Hendrix, “Go home!”
Hendrix was stunned, “Brother…”
“Go home!”
Riley whispered to Hendrix, “Go home. Your brother is telling you to go.”
Hendrix answered in a soft voice, “What will happen to you if I leave? My brother will kill you.”
Riley laughed, “He would’ve killed me already if he really wanted to.”
Euan was boiling in anger seeing the two whispering to each other. He pointed his finger at Hendrix
and commanded, “Hendrix, go home.”
Euan was getting aggressive and Hendrix didn’t dare to disobey him. He gulped in fear and said, “I’ll…
I’ll go now.”
Hendrix gritted his teeth. He wanted to say something for Riley, but being surrounded by two
timebombs, anything he said would cause an explosion right now.
Hendrix knew his place and left them alone.
Riley slightly lifted her head to observe the expression in Euan’s eyes.
Anger, coldness, and threatening to kill.
“You sure are gutsy,” said Euan. There were double meanings behind his words. He said each word
loud and clearly and they pierced through Riley’s heart like an arrow.
Riley wasn’t going to cave in, “I’m not as gutsy as you, Mr. George. Showing off your mistress in public,
you sure have no fear.”
Her sarcasm was cold and indifferent as if she was just another spectator.
Euan clenched his fist, he wanted to punch Riley in the face.
“Are you jealous?”
Euan squinted at Riley, trying to look for a hint of jealousy on her face, but to no avail. The only
expressions on Riley’s face were bliss after revenge and her usual mocking face. There wasn’t a third
emotion.
“Why should I get jealous, Mr. George?”
Euan walked closer to her and every step he took made the pressure in the atmosphere go up one bar.
The air was getting thinner and Riley found it hard to breathe.
Euan grabbed Riley’s chin with his slender finger and said, “You’re not jealous? Then why go through
all the trouble to cut the power?”
The streetlights shone on Riley’s nicely shaped face. He could see the stubbornness and indifferent in
her eyes, she was emotionless and cold. Riley laughed, “There wasn’t any trouble at all, it was an easy
operation.”
Euan was angered to the max!
“Do you want to die?”
Riley thought that he was going to punch or slap her, and she would faint from it. But to her surprise,
nothing happened. He was so angry that she could see his veins popping and his face red from being
furious.
But even so, he didn’t hit her.
She was surprised, but also not surprised at the same time.
Well, why would Euan care to hit someone who was a nobody to him?
Riley slowly reached out her hand and touched his arm. She knew that Euan hated it when she
touched him. But tonight, she just wanted to make him mad, “Mr. George, your beautiful mistress is still
waiting for you inside. Why don’t you go back to her?”
Beautiful mistress? She had to be talking about Lydia.
“You dare claim that you weren’t jealous?” said Euan as he inched his handsome face closer to her.
Riley inched backwards as he came closer.
“Why should I? Oh right, I was elated, looking at the mistress in your arms. I…”
Before Riley could finish her sarcasm, Euan pressed his hot lips on hers! She couldn’t say another
word!
He didn’t want to hear another word from her!
Riley was driving him crazy!
“Let…!”
Riley struggled as she punched and kicked him. But Euan pressed his large stature on her and
forcefully invaded her body!
