I was just curious, are all you men the same–passive, non–committal, and irresponsible?”
Hurley furrowed his brows slightly, “Miss Sophie, what did you go through that made you condemn all men?”
“It’s nothing, just that my damned ex–husband, he’s a complete scumbag, a bastard!”
“He deceived me, deceived my feelings, deceived our marriage, and even had a child with another woman. He let his mistress bully me. Tell me, shouldn’t a man like that die?”
Hurley knew Sophie was feeling down, but somehow he felt like Sophie was cursing at him.
In this world, there are many different kinds of people, each with their own thoughts and actions. While there are indeed many scumbags, there are also many good people. One cannot generalize everyone.
For instance, he wasn’t that kind of person.
Therefore, could it be that Sophie never liked him and instead treated him harshly everywhere simply because of
this reason?
“If Miss Sophie holds resentment towards her ex–husband, she should seek revenge on him rather than venting grievances to other men.”
Sophie seemed pensive, “You’re right.”
“Stop the car!” Sophie exclaimed.
The car pulled over by the roadside, and Sophie opened the car door, saying, “Get out of the car!”
Hurley thought Sophie had something urgent, so he got out of the car. However, Sophie directly circled around to the driver’s seat, opened the door, and sat down.
Then stepping on the gas, not giving Hurley a chance to react, the car shot forward.
Right now, she didn’t want to see Hurley. Even if she left him stranded halfway, it was what he deserved.
Thinking of Hurley standing there dumbfounded, watching her car leave, perhaps taking a while to comprehend what happened, Sophie found it amusing.
Serves him right!
This was what Hurley himself requested, for her to seek revenge on her ex–husband.
“Dead scumbag!” Sophie cursed, feeling considerably pleased.
“Miss Sophie, casually badmouthing others behind their backs isn’t good, you know.”
Suddenly, a faint voice came from behind, startling Sophie. She glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the face

concealed in the darkness.
“Hurley!” Now it was Sophie’s turn to be startled.
“How come you’re here?” Didn’t she just leave Hurley stranded halfway earlier?
Hurley sneered, “Miss Sophie asked me to get out, didn’t you want me to be your driver?”
He was sitting in the back seat, his long legs casually crossed together, resembling a sculpture seated there. His face bore a profound expression, appearing extremely dangerous and frightening.
Although the tone was calm, Sophie could sense an underlying anger.
Ever since Sophie asked him to get out of the car and went to the driver’s seat earlier, he had probably guessed her intentions.
That’s why when Sophie got into the car, he also opened the back door, but Sophie hadn’t noticed.
Now, with Sophie in the driver’s seat and Hurley in the back, it truly felt like he was being made into her chauffeur.
“You get out!”
The car hadn’t even driven a hundred meters before Sophie stopped it by the side.
Hurley remained motionless, just looking at her like that.
Sophie, annoyed, said, “Hurley! Get out!”
In his whole life, Hurley had only been told to ‘get out‘ twice.
The first time was that evening when Sophie told him to leave, and this was the second time, telling him to get out.
“I’m not your chauffeur. I don’t drive just because you tell me to, and I don’t get out just because you ask me to.”
“I don’t know where I’ve offended Miss Sophie. What happened today was a mistake on Matilda’s part. I can understand if you’re upset with me, but don’t be excessively unreasonable and cause a scene!”
