Tate answered impatiently, “Oh—let it go, Sasha. It’s just a bike and it’s not a big deal. How can I be
breaking the law when I haven’t been caught?”
“Well, if you do get caught driving without a license, you’ll have to go to prison!” Sasha reminded him
anxiously.
With a smug chuckle, he pointed out, “Well, I haven’t been caught, have I? Besides, even if I get caught,
you can always bail me out. Right, then; we’ll talk later. I’m taking Joanna home.”
With that, he sped off straight into The Grand Garden.
Sasha trailed after him in her car and she grumbled, “Why must he cause us so much worry? This
won’t do; I must call Aunt Chloe. He could get into an accident if he keeps driving so dangerously!”
Matthew nodded. When it came to these kinds of things, he agreed, especially since Tate tended to
speed. The consequences could be tragic if the latter got into an accident.
When they got home, Tate and the girl named Joanna had already entered the courtyard.
Meanwhile, Minerva was soaking in the pool with three boys and two other girls.
These were all friends that she made after coming to Eastcliff.
They claimed to be the sons and daughters of rich families, but they still came here for food and drinks
every day.
If it weren’t for the fact that the guest rooms were filled, they would likely have moved in.
The moment Joanna entered the courtyard, she exclaimed, “Goodness; you actually have a swimming
pool! That’s amazing!”
With a proud look on his face, Tate answered, “Of course I do! I wouldn’t lie to you, would I? Well, did you
bring a swimsuit? If not, I can have someone fetch you one.”
Joanna shook her head regrettably. “I forgot.”
“Don’t worry about it,” he told her immediately. “When my cousin comes back, I’ll let her know and she
can have someone fetch you a suit.”
Right at this moment, Sasha pulled into the driveway.
Before she could even park the car properly, Tate jogged over to her and called out, “Have your
secretary get my girlfriend a swimsuit, Sasha! The Chanel one from the other day was pretty good!”
Instantly, Sasha felt her blood boil at his thick-skinned comment.
The only reason she bought a swimsuit for Minerva was because of their familial relationship.
What right did Tate have to ask her to fetch his girlfriend a swimsuit as well?
And so, she answered unhappily, “Sorry but the secretary’s working hours are over.”
“Aargh! What kind of working hours could a secretary have?” he protested. “As long as you make the
call, she’ll come over immediately. Come on, Sasha. My girlfriend’s right here. Don’t make me look bad!”
Of course, Sasha only got angrier. Why should I have to make him look good? After freeloading in my
home for such a long time, he is now asking me to buy his girlfriend a swimsuit? Do I owe him
something?
Nevertheless, Sasha did not say any of these things and she chose to ignore him. Thereafter, she
parked her car and walked straight into the house.
Upon seeing that, Joanna walked over and asked unhappily, “Your cousin wouldn’t agree, would she?
Why is she so stingy when your family is so rich?”
Feeling disgruntled, Tate muttered, “It’s fine; I’ll get my aunt to make her do it. Just wait a moment!”
With that, he stormed into the house.
Meanwhile, the three boys in the pool leered at Sasha.
One of them swam over to Minerva and he said in a low voice, “Your cousin is so pretty, Minerva. That
figure, those looks… Goodness! Is she married? Can you introduce me to her?”
Instantly, the two other boys swam over as well, all of them having the same thoughts.
However, Minerva curled her lips in contempt and answered, “She married a long time ago! See that guy
over there? That’s her husband.”
The group of them looked over at Matthew in disdain.
“That’s her husband? But he looks so plain. What does she see in him?”
“Ha! Who knows?” She chuckled coldly and added, “Let me tell you something, though—he’s a live-in
son-in-law, no less!”
