Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 229

Simon wanted to curse back, but a stern look from Adam shut him up immediately.

Harry, having parked the car, also came over. “Picking on women all the time, what kind of man are you?”

Ruby looked Simon up and down with utter contempt. “You might look like a man, but I’m afraid there’s nothing else about you that’s masculine.”

The statement was not particularly hurtful, but it was massively insulting.

Simon was so furious he wished he could have swallowed Ruby alive. “Adam, you heard that. They’re ganging up on me, and you can’t be on their side.”

Adam retorted, “Why are you, a grown man, arguing with a girl?”

Simon considered himself a real man, one who could bend and stretch. “Fine, I’ll listen to you. What’s the point of arguing with a young girl? An old sage once said that only petty men and women are hard to deal with. Why should I argue?”

Ruby snapped, “Who are you calling petty?”

Simon retorted, “Whoever the shoe fits.”

“You deserve a beating, you bastard!” Ruby was so angry she wanted to hit Simon. Luckily, Lumma reacted quickly and held her back. “Ruby, calm down.”

Simon was never afraid of trouble, but he had never hit a woman, let alone one as formidable as.

Ruby.

When Ruby charged at him, he quickly hid behind Adam. “Adam, control your people.”

Adam wore a detached expression. “My people? It’s your mess, so you deal with it.”

Simon was speechless.

What kind of mess had he gotten himself into today?

Why should he have to endure this?

He, the young master of the Mills family, when had he ever suffered such humiliation.

He silently vowed to himself that if he ever met Ruby alone elsewhere, he would tear her to shreds.

Lumma, not as strong as Ruby, had to exert some effort to hold her back. “Ruby, calm down. Mr. Mills is magnanimous and won’t hold this against us. But if it were someone else, who knows what trouble they might cause us tomorrow.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Lumma didn’t know Simon very well, but she knew that the people from the four great families

Get Boes

were not to be trifled with. Today, with Adam present, Simon could tolerate it. But what about when Adam wasn’t around?

Regardless of whether Simon was thinking of retaliation, Lumma had to prepare for the worst.

Simon was speechless again.

Simon wondered if Lumma know that and that was why she was calling him petty.

Simon decided to be generous and not quarrel with this country bumpkin.

He said, “Lumma, you speak wisely. I won’t argue with her anymore. It’s getting late, so let’s go

have dinner.”

Lumma asked with a smile, “Will Mr. Mills be joining us?”

Simon replied as a matter of course, “I have nobody to eat with, so if I don’t join you, am I supposed to eat alone? I can’t eat alone. Adam, surely you wouldn’t abandon me.”

If Simon had one redeeming quality, it was that he was shameless and could always get a free meal.

They all headed to the restaurant together. Lumma had already ordered food according to everyone’s preferences on the way there, and there was more than enough, even with Simon

joining.

Once they were seated, Simon asked the waiter for the wine list. It wasn’t his money, after all. He ordered two bottles of red wine, a collector’s edition, definitely not cheap. “Who’s paying tonight? I hope I’m not imposing.”

Lumma chuckled. “Mr. Hills is treating!”

Simon responded, “Oh… if Adam is paying, I should order a couple more bottles of wine.”
