Chapter 1285: Chapter 1284: Sorry, I Can’t Accompany You
Valentina couldn’t understand where Jenny York got her courage and confidence from, and after hearing what Jenny had said, she couldn’t help but show a mocking smile, "You say you’ll do it? Miss York! I have no idea where your confidence comes from."
This woman has no brains herself, and she assumes others are just as brainless as she is.
"Of course I..."
"Whatever you’re planning to do, do it yourself—I’m afraid I can’t accompany you." Just as Jenny was about to retort Valentina’s words, Valentina gave her no chance to speak, rudely refusing her.
Valentina glanced at Jenny, stood up, and left her seat without any hesitation. After leaving her seat, she walked out of the café.
Seeing the decisive figure leaving, Jenny was so angry she clenched her fists, her face turning ugly. She picked up her coffee and, without thinking, gulped it down.
"Ouch!"
The coffee in the cup was still very hot, and in her angry daze, Jenny gulped too quickly, getting burned. Luckily, she spat it out just in time, or her throat would have been scalded.
Noticing something was wrong, a nearby waiter walked over briskly, "Miss! Do you need..."
Before the waiter could finish his sentence, Jenny ran towards the restroom, oblivious to the disapproving gazes she attracted. She dashed into the restroom like lightning.
At the sink, she turned on the faucet and rinsed her burned lips with cold water. After quite a while, the burning sensation on her lips finally eased.
Jenny leaned closer to the mirror to examine her lips. Her lips were red from the burn, but because she rinsed them with cool water in time, they didn’t blister.
She took out her makeup pouch from her bag and touched up her makeup in front of the mirror. Once she managed to regain her original appearance, she gathered her belongings and walked out of the restroom.
Jenny was completely uninterested in drinking coffee anymore. After paying the bill, she grabbed her handbag and left the café.
She thought she could finally find a partner today, but unexpectedly, she not only failed to find a partner but was also ridiculed.
Thinking about the scene with Valentina earlier made Jenny furious. Just at that moment, she noticed a small rock by her feet, as if finding a target for venting her anger, she kicked it away.
"Ah...waa..."
Hearing a child’s cry, Jenny instinctively looked up and saw a three or four-year-old child covering their forehead and bawling loudly. Beside the child stood a middle-aged woman.
"Who is it? So wicked!"
As she was filled with anger, Jenny kicked without holding back, and the stone she kicked hit the child’s forehead, injuring them.
Seeing her grandchild hurt, the child’s grandmother was both heartbroken and angry. She turned to search and saw her standing not far away, spotting the culprit who hurt her grandchild, the grandmother glared ragefully.
The child’s grandmother was quite burly, her furious eyes akin to those of Ethan Lambert from "Water Margin."
Jenny was frightened by the angry look of the child’s grandmother and instinctively ran across the street to avoid the Ethan Lambert-like grandmother.
Bang!
Suddenly darting out, she was hit by a passing car and flung into the air, spinning several times before heavily crashing to the ground.
