Return Of The Prodigy
Return of the Prodigy Chapter 32

They rushed all the way, covering the twenty-minute distance in just ten minutes.

Peter didn't care about speeding tickets or even having his driver's license revoked. As long as he could save the order... However, when he arrived at Byron Group, he was still too late.

It was 6:05.

The employees of Byron Group had already left the building, leaving one after another.

Peter's face instantly fell, but the next moment, his eyes lit up. He saw the person in charge who had thrown him out in the morning. Maybe there was still a chance?

Peter quickly approached and said urgently, "Hello, I am from the Hartleys Group, and I brought..."

"Are you Miss Katie?" the person interrupted.

Familiar person, familiar conversation.

Peter blushed but didn't dare to explode. He smiled awkwardly, "I'm not, but I brought..."

"It's already past six, the collaboration is canceled, go back," the person said.

Damn it, can't I explain?

If he wasn't in need, Peter really wanted to slap this guy. But...

Smiling reluctantly, Peter hurriedly explained, "Please give us another chance. I have brought Katie. Here is Katie."

Katie quickly arrived and said, "Hello, I am Katie. I'm sorry, there was some traffic on the way. Thank you for waiting."

The person in charge's expression changed instantly, and he smiled, saying, "No rush, Miss Hartley is here; that's enough. Shall we discuss now, or would you prefer tomorrow?" "Now, now!" Peter interjected.

The person in charge's face changed again, turning gloomy.

Peter: "..."

Damn, have you practiced changing expressions? I can't compare to this guy in any way!

"If possible, let's discuss it now," Katie said apologetically. She was also worried about the night.

"No rush, no rush. Miss Hartley, as long as you're here, it's fine. Would you like to talk now?" The person in charge immediately wore a smiling face.

Peter: "."

Damn, I'm so frustrated!

After this is over, I'll find a chance to knock this guy on the head!

...

Empress District.

When the taxi stopped, Adam immediately got out of the car and opened the door for Trey and Gemma. They didn't follow Katie, as Dave had simply used them and left them there. Being frugal, they were reluctant to take a taxi, so Adam personally hailed a cab to send them back.

After all, it was the rush hour, and he didn't want to see his father- and mother-in-laws, who were of an advanced age, squeezing with others.

Regardless of how Trey and Gemma scolded him, they were ultimately doing it for Katie's good. They were parents that Katie couldn't abandon in her lifetime.

"Humph! Don't think that by sending us back, you can change our minds. Tomorrow, you must divorce Katie," Gemma said coldly.

"Mom, Katie and I genuinely love each other. I promise I will never let anyone bully her, or both of you," Adam sincerely said.

"We should believe you? And why would we do that? Moreover..."

Gemma's words were suddenly interrupted by someone. A woman walked over with a strange tone, "Oh, I thought who it was. Isn't this Mr. Hartley and Mrs. Hartley? How come you're willing to take a taxi today? Don't care about money anymore?" Gemma blushed, saying, "Mrs. Kent, aren't you cooking at home? The children have all finished work."

"Cooking? Haha, who cooks these days? Today, my son-in-law is treating me to a big meal at a fancy restaurant."

"He just bought a new car, a BMW, costing fifty to sixty thousand."

"By the way, you must know about BMW, right? After all, you used to be the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, why didn't the Hartleys give you anything? Look at how you're living, I can't bear to see it."

"Hey? Who is this?" Mrs. Kent looked at Adam.

Adam politely said, "Hello, Auntie, I am Katie's husband."

"Ah! You're that crazy husband of Katie? You're back? Are you still acting crazy recently?"

"Mrs. Hartley, if you ask me, you should be content. Look at your son-in-law, who even knows how to take a taxi to send you back. Of course, he can't compare to my son-in-law. My son-in-law graduated from a prestigious university, and now he earns a million a year. He often takes me to fancy restaurants and personally drives to pick me up."

"But, whose fault is this? You can only say that Katie is unlucky. Look at you, Mrs. Hartley. You can't envy it. Admit it; although he is crazy, he is still a man."

Trey and Gemma were embarrassed and wanted to retort, but what the person said was true. They could only turn their heads and glared fiercely at Adam.

It was this useless guy who made them so embarrassed, unable to lift their heads in front of the neighbors, becoming the laughingstock of the entire community. Damn thing, besides dragging them down, what else is it good for?

No, tomorrow they must force Katie to divorce him. If she doesn't divorce, they will pressure her to death!

At this moment, Trey and Gemma became more determined in their thoughts.
