Chapter 117 Bentley
Soon after, Tommy and Jared arrived at the entrance of Vintage Restaurant. Tommy got out of the car first before opening the door for Jared. “My Lord, I’ll wait for you here. Just in case something bad happens, I’ll be there immediately.”
Jared waved his hands dismissively and said, “That’s unnecessary. You can go now.”
Tommy nodded and got back into the car.
Right before Tommy left, Maria arrived in her red BMW. Hilda was in her car as well. They had arrived at the restaurant ahead of the others because they took off before everyone else.
“Jared, did you come here in that Bentley?” Maria was slightly taken aback. Although she had seen Jared coming off the Bentley, she still couldn’t believe her eyes.
In response, Jared nodded slightly.
“You came in a Bentley, Jared? If only I knew, I would’ve followed you instead! I’ve never sat in a Bentley before.” Hilda was excited.
However, she quickly realized that she might’ve offended Maria with her words. So she chuckled awkwardly and said, “Maria, no offense, all right! Your car is just as good!”
“Oh, it’s okay! Don’t worry about it.” Knowing Hilda was a good-natured girl, Maria wasn’t bothered.
The thing that was actually bothering Maria was the fact that Jared came in a Bentley.
“Jared, whose Bentley is that?” Maria questioned.
“It’s my friend’s,” he answered nonchalantly.
“You have a friend who could afford a Bentley?” Maria was puzzled because, in a city as small as Horington, there was only a handful of people who could afford a Bentley costing a few million.
Before Jared could answer, Zayne and the others had arrived. They gasped in amazement when they saw the majestic Vintage Restaurant.
“Troy, park your lousy car elsewhere before you humiliate us!” Zayne roared.
Feeling helpless, Troy had no choice but to move his car. Zayne and the others then walked toward Vintage Restaurant with prideful expressions.
When they arrived at the entrance, everyone was surprised to see Maria and Jared.
“Jared? How did you get here so fast?” Zayne couldn’t believe that Jared had arrived before him.
“I told you I’d get here before you, didn’t I?” Upon seeing Zayne’s perplexed reaction, Jared couldn’t help but grin.
The others were just as confused because they had all driven past Jared at the office.
“Jared, did you fly here?”
“I bet you took a shortcut!”
“That’s so creepy! I didn’t see him drive past me!”
All of them gazed at Jared in disbelief.
“Jared got here in a Bentley!” Hilda exclaimed proudly.
Unsurprisingly, no one believed Hilda. Zayne scoffed, “Jared in a Bentley? He’s so poor I bet he doesn’t even know what a Bentley looks like! He has definitely taken a shortcut in a taxi. And since he arrived before us, he shamelessly claims that he got here in a Bentley!”
“It’s true! Maria saw it as well!” Hilda jumped to Jared’s defense.
Jared, on the other hand, couldn’t care less if they believed it or not. He didn’t feel the need to explain himself on such a trivial matter.
Everyone then shifted their gazes toward Maria. Zayne asked, “Maria, is it true? Did Jared really come in a Bentley?”
Maria nodded. “I did see him coming off from a Bentley.”
