I nodded and said, "Yes!"
Perhaps he didn't expect me to answer him in such a direct manner. The driver looked slightly taken aback before he replied, "Miss Reid, don't worry. Mr. Reid just wanted to take you to a party. He wants to introduce you to everyone."
"You can just tell me the address!" I was not sure what Aaron was up to. Therefore, I had to be careful.
The driver got out of the car and opened the door for me. He said politely with a smile, "Miss Reid, please don't make things difficult for me. Mr. Reid knows that you've also called Miss Monique, so he sent someone to pick her up. Since Mr. Reid is being so considerate, I suppose Miss Reid you can't just refuse his kindness, can you?"
A threat?
He was using Monique to threaten me?
After a long time, I smiled and got into the car elegantly. Aaron really knew me well.
The car drove to a hotel in the southern suburb. It was more than an hour's drive. At first, I didn't know where the car was going.
Then, when the car drove past the golf course in the southern suburb, I knew in an instant where it was heading. Ucrebury was a well-known historical spot. While it grew as the society advanced over the
years, it also retained its cultural heritage.
Although it wasn't a significant city in the past, it was never short of talents. Those with high authorities in the city liked to buy properties in Ucrebury and seek a peaceful place to live after their retirement.
Therefore, Ucrebury's southern suburb had become a gathering place for many influential and rich people. Even though people had always endorsed equality in their lives, for ordinary people, the southern suburban area of Ucrebury was still a luxury place that they couldn't even set foot in even after working hard for hundreds of years.
"Ucrebury's Lawson family has been a well-known family for hundreds of years; many of their descendants are military and political personnel. They are also one of the best in business. Just stick around and follow me later!" He said, with a bit of sternness in his voice.
I frowned. I hadn't seen him for only five years. What did he do in the past five years? How did he turn from a hacker to someone who could easily get in touch with famous people from the top of the business industry?
About ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a luxurious villa. Aaron got out of the car and held the car door open for me in a very gentlemanly way. He reached out his arm to me and muttered in a husky voice, "Please be obedient and hold on to my arm."
I feared and hated his hypocritical personality and his fake smile. He was cold and cruel. Even if he did something nice, it was all a plot of doing something horrible to me.
Nevertheless, I had no choice but to listen and obey
him. So, I got out of the car while holding his arm.
