The Ex-Husband's Revenge

Chapter 8

“Alright, sir. Do you need anything else before I leave?”

“No, I am good. But just make sure your line is open just in case that I will have any request to make while I am at the party.”

“Okay, sir. No worries. I will just be one call away.”

“Thanks for that.” Then, Eduard averted his gaze to Abby. “Shall we go?”

Abby nodded and smiled timidly at him.

He gestured his arm to her so she would wrap her arms around but he saw that the woman hesitated.

Eduard grabbed her arm and put it around his arms.

“You will be my female companion tonight. Feel confident and comfortable. You are beautiful,” he said as he gave her a compliment.

“Thank you,” Abby said and her cheek blushed because of what Eduard said.

Just after a couple of minutes, Eduard and Abby were already in front of the restaurant where Eduard would meet Donovan and Isabella.

When they were already at the entrance, Eduard heard a sound of laughter.

He looked at the direction where it came from and he saw a group of people with Donovan and Isabella with them.

“I am sure that stupid asshole is already wagging his tail. Probably, he is still begging somewhere to get a job and he will not show up here,” he heard Donovan said in a very confident tone.

The man was so arrogant. He really looked down on him.

“Yes, I can’t believe that man really had the courage to say that to you!” One of the men at the table even said.

“I know. He should know who he is messing around,” Donovan continued.

One of the men with Donovan saw the car that was parked outside the restaurant.

“Wow! Isn’t that the newest limited edition of Rolls Royce?” The man with Donovan even had his eyes widened while he spoke.

All the people on their table averted their gaze outside. Admiration was written all over their faces.

“The owner must be so rich to afford that!”

“God! I wish I could get experience riding that kind of car.”

“Donovan, if your company grows, let’s get one of those,” Isabella couldn’t help but admire the sports car in front of the restaurant.

“Of course, honey. Wait and see, I will be able to afford even how many of those,” Donovan said arrogantly.

“That’s my boy!” One of the men in the group shouted and even raised his hand for a high five.

Eduard and Abby entered the restaurant. He was wearing a customized suit made by a popular designer in the country.

Initially, Donovan and his group along with Isabella were shocked when they saw the expensive suit of the man.

But it didn’t take long and Donovan’s lips twitched and he sneered.

“I wondered where he borrowed what he is wearing tonight. For sure he begged for it just to look presentable. But whatever suit he wears, he still looks like trash in my eyes.”

“I agree. Whatever a beggar wears, he will always be a beggar.”

Those words didn’t escape from Eduard’s ears. But instead of confronting them for everything that they said, he just let that go.

Let his actions speak for him. They would just be shocked by the things that would happen next.

There was no sense of explaining things to those people. He knew that whatever he was going to say or do, they would just mock him.

“Hey, where did you get your tuxedo?”

“Can you help me beg for an expensive tuxedo like that?”

“Hey, where did you borrow money? You did really make an effort to show up, huh? Tell me, how did you get your suit?” Donovan teasingly said to him. “I know that you cannot afford that one. Even if you will be working all of your life, there’s no way that you will be able to buy one.”

Eduard’s fist rolled. His heart was throbbing so fast because of the anger he felt for the man but he tried to stay calm.

Abby’s grip also tightened in his arms. It seemed that the woman felt the intense atmosphere between him and Donovan.

Eduard looked at Abby as if saying that there was no need for her to open her mouth.

Abby just nodded her head as she met his gaze.

“And who is this beauty with you? Did you also rent her or borrow her?” Donovan said without hesitation. He could feel that the man was really provoking her. “I doubt if a woman will come with you. Did she know what kind of job you have and that you have been kicked out because of being stupid?”

Abby was just looking at him.

Eduard just smiled sarcastically and acted as if he was not affected by those words.

“What are you talking about?”

“Oh, come on! You can’t fool me. Can you explain how you managed to get that tuxedo?”

“Probably he took it while the owner was out.”

“Hey, you’ve been inside the CEO’s office. Did you borrow that from him? Did you kneel so that you can show up here wearing that? It looks like you wanted me to get impressed, huh?”

“Dream on!”

“What did you say?” Donovan said while his eyebrows were knitted together.

“Why will I even have to impress you?”

“Wow! The  cat got claws!”

“Donovan, what can you say? You said to us that he isn’t going to show up because he is such a coward. What now?”

The crowd were trying to put fire on the situation.

Eduard just touched Abby’s hand as if saying to the woman that everything was under control and there was nodding that she should be worried about.

“I don’t know what kind of scene this stupid man wanted to show me. He accepted my challenge but I don’t think he really has any idea of what’s going to happen.”

“Maybe, he thought that you would be judged by suit,” one of the men teased.

The sound of Donovan’s group laughter filled the whole restaurant. They were already getting the attention of the other customer.

“If you want to continue the challenge, let’s get out of here. I don’t want to disturb the other customers,” Eduard said as he was looking around. He could feel the stares of the people behind him.

“Whatever, I know that you are just afraid that you will be embarrassed in front of many people but I will give you a chance. Let’s get out of here.”

Eduard looked at Abby and then he guided her out of the restaurant.

“So now can you tell me what kind of fight we are going to have? I do not want to waste any more time.” Eduard said as he directly looked at Donovan. “So, tell me whatever you want to happen.”

There was no trace of fear or nervousness in his voice.

Isabella was looking at her ex-husband and the woman beside him. She couldn’t help but feel angry towards the woman and at the same time jealous.

Eduard was looking stunningly handsome with the tuxedo that he was wearing. For a moment, she thought that he was a different man.
