Chapter 340 Am I Bullying?

Lachlan was speechless and amused at the same time!

Even if he had money and power, couldn't he dress more casually? Couldn't he take a train from the station? Was taking a taxi such an insult? Did he have to drive a luxury car everywhere he went? If one hundred dollars fell on the ground, couldn't it be picked up? Heh, what kind of values and morals were these?

In Lachlan's mind, Penelope was truly shallow. It was difficult to connect with someone like her. Even if she was beautiful, she only had an attractive exterior...

Lachlan didn't bother explaining himself to her. If he told her about his experience surviving an explosion that destroyed his clothes and car but left him alive, she would probably think that he was bragging. "You..." Penelope pointed at Lachlan with anger flushing her face.

She could feel his disdain towards her. She was Jieyson University's beauty queen; many wealthy men surrounded and adored her. When had anyone treated her like this before?

"What about me?" Lachlan said dismissively. "Miss Pearce, you should go do whatever it is you need to do instead of bothering me."

"Unless you want another slap!" Lachlan threatened as he waved his hand in front of Penelope's face.

Penelope heard this threat and saw Lachlan's action; instinctively she took a step back. Her face turned red with embarrassment as tears welled up in her eyes.

She did not doubt that this uncivilized man would hit her again!

"Just wait for me! I'll remember this!" Penelope gritted through clenched teeth while trying to show how much contempt she held for him.

But in reality, all she felt now after confronting him again was humiliation, self-inflicted humiliation!
