Trapped with a Doctor
Chapter 197 Coffee without Sugar

After hearing Derrick's words, Arvin felt a bit upset. Then, he nodded and said, "Well, Derrick, Nita is not as innocent as you think. Remember that I warned you!" Arvin did have evidence for his claims. Compared with Derrick, Arvin was quite confident that he had a better judge of character.

What's more, a few years ago, Derrick was frauded by some businessmen, so he went bankrupt.. Later, his friends helped him stage a comeback by lending him a lot of money.

Now, the two close friends are drifting away from each other.

To make things worse, they might turn against each other because of Angela and Nita.

In the Gu family's house

Haley almost suffered a mental breakdown. Then she told Lily. "Mom, how can you take Baron to the Ren Family to propose without my permission?" Haley felt a little angry with her mother.

Lily was calmly mixing a Chinese herbal medicine and told her daughter, "According to what I've heard, Cheryl is a good girl. Also, she lost her baby because of Baron, and it is likely that she would never be able to get pregnant anymore. Don't you think Baron should take full responsibility?"

Mom, we can get rid of this trouble by giving them more money. There's no need to sacrifice Baron's happy life," Haley retorted.

Lily glanced at her and said, "Not everything can be solved with money. Look at the situation. If the money does work, then why is Cheryl's family still insisting on suing Baron?" Lily said angrily. Haley sneered, "Because they want to ask for more! I've already promised to give them a million dollars, but they turned it down. I am sure they want more than that." Haley's words were full of ironies. "Not everyone is as snobbish as you!" Lily didn't hesitate to snap back at her daughter, and then she disappointedly shook her head.

"Mom, Cheryl is from the slums. How could she be a good girl? Is it because of your old age that you're not seeing things clearly? Don't you know that criminals come from the slums?" Haley claimed arrogantly.

On hearing her daughter's nonsense, Lily slammed the herbal medicine on the table and coldly looked at her, "Haley, you don't have the right to look down upon anyone. I remember I have told you this so many times. Why do you keep on doing this? I have provided you with a good, comfortable life. Maybe that is why you've become so arrogant. It is wrong to look down on those who are not as rich as you." Lily wanted to teach her daughter a lesson.

"Instead of doing that, you should think more about your son's behavior. He got Cheryl pregnant but is unwilling to take responsibility! How shameful that is! After this incident, I am afraid no girls from the upperclass would like to marry Baron. Don't you think so?" Lily told her daughter.

Haley felt embarrassed at Lily's words. "I know it was Baron's fault. But Mom, do you want Parker and I to have no grandkids?" Haley asked.

'Even you said there is only a small chance for Cheryl to get pregnant. That is to say, she would never get pregnant at all.'

Lily sighed and said, "After Baron and Cheryl get married, ask her to live with me. I will try to nurse her back to health. That way, everyone wins!" Lily replied.

"Mom, why? We can resolve this with money! Why do you insist on the hard way?" Haley's words clearly angered her mother.

Lily slapped the table in anger. "It isn't I but your son who made things hard! Your son should be blamed. Right now, you should be teaching your son how to be a true man instead of telling me all this. Arvin has set a good example for him, " Lily said, full of rage.

"Arvin! Arvin! Mom, you always compare Baron with Arvin!" Haley thought, 'Arvin is a cold man. Baron can learn nothing from him.'

"I am biased with Arvin. That's true. So what? In many aspects, Arvin is better than Baron. You must face the truth. Go home and teach Baron how to be a responsible man. Then, he can win my favour like Arvin did." In the end, Lily was so angry that she slammed the table several times.

Sensing her mother about to get more mad, Haley had to shut up and leave the Gu Family's house resentfully.

LN Coffee House in J City

With her hands cupping her chin, Angela was stalking Nita's microblog. She remembered Arvin mentioning that Nita had studied abroad several years ago. She browsed through Nita's microblog until the end, but she still couldn't replace any indication about her life abroad.

She had some posts about medicine, but they didn't show any location.

'Maybe because she was really busy at the time...' After all, Nita was a famous doctor who specialized in OB-GYN. As for Angela herself, she was just an dull soul who had just graduated from college. Getting back to her own microblog, she found her popularity soaring after Arvin had followed her recently.

She felt that she had always attracted attention because of the famous personalities in her life, such as Arvin and her dad. When her father followed her, so did many others.

Then, she was followed by Sven, Janet, Selina, Daniel, and so on. Right now, she already had three million followers.

She took a picture of her dessert and uploaded it to her microblog, along with the words, "It is said that this dessert was made by a happy woman. You can taste love from it. Yum! How lucky Daniel is to have a wife who makes amazing desserts!"

Then she mentioned Janet and Daniel. With a moment's hesitation, she mentioned Arvin, too.

Without doubt, the comment section exploded because of these three hot celebrities.

More and more comments came within only a few minutes. The moment Nita appeared in front of her, she stopped reading the tens of thousands of comments left.

Upon seeing the woman sit opposite her, Angela put away her cell phone and took a sip of iced coffee. "Miss Zhen, are you busy recently?"

Her question made Nita put her guard up. After carefully observing Angela's expression, Nita didn't sense anything unusual, so she opened her mouth and said, "I just rest at home. But I have insomnia, so I have to sleep during the daytime. When you asked me out, I have just started putting on my makeup! That's why I'm late."

Angela was quick-witted and was good at manipulation. Susan once got tricked by her. This time, Angela asked Nita out. She was afraid that Angela had bad things in store for her.

The waiter came over and politely asked Nita, "Hello. What would you like to drink?"

Nita glanced at Angela's iced coffee, "Coffee without sugar."

After her words, Angela wondered, 'She likes her coffee like Arvin does. They seem to be on the same page. Or was Nita just imitating Arvin?'

"Tell me. Why did you ask me out?" Nita played with her expensive watch. As if sensing something, she looked at Angela's wrist.

She saw Angela wearing a silver mechanical watch with an international designer's logo. It was several times more expensive than hers.

Full of jealousy, Nita put her wrist in her pocket, so Angela wouldn't notice.

Nita thought, 'Angela won Arvin because she was born in a rich family. If I were the daughter of the Si family, Arvin would have fallen in love with me.' Without knowing what Nita was thinking about, Angela tried to compose her words, "Uhm... Are you Rosa's good friend?"

Every question Angela asked might be a trap, so Nita had to be careful. "Yes, she is my best friend!"

In Nita's heart, she muttered, 'I was kind enough to let Rosa give birth to a baby fathered by a man who loves her.'0000000☐☐☐☐
