chapter 5 Women from rich families are so willful ===

It was evening.
Mabel left Bloomfield Boulevard and returned to the Flores family's old residence.
She wanted to explain to her grandfather that she was unwilling to marry Ulric. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw many members of the Flores family surrounding the entrance of the lobby, as if something had happened.
"Mabel's back!"
Someone whispered something, and those people moved aside one after another.
Mabel ignored them and walked directly into the lobby. However, the next scene made her mistakenly think that she had gone to the wrong place.
The lobby at this moment was filled with elders of the family, including her own parents.
Next to her parents, there was another person who made her even more upset, and that person was Ulric Collins, whom she had just met two hours ago.
Seeing her, a smile appeared on Ulric's lips, and he said to an old man with white hair sitting on a tall seat, "Master Flores, I've already explained why I'm here, and it's getting late so I'll make a move first."
"Ulric, wait a moment!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, the old man quickly called out to him. At the same time, he turned to Mabel and said, "My granddaughter, you've come back just in time. Come, come. Let me introduce you, this is Ulric Collins, the one I mentioned to you. Your husband-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Mabel looked shocked, "Grandpa, you... do you really want to betroth me to him?"
"What? What's the problem?"
"I... I don't agree to it!"
Her sudden outburst made the scene extremely quiet.
No one had ever dared to contradict the old master like this. Mabel's words undoubtedly would make the old master angry.
When her parents saw this, they quickly chided her, "Girl, don't talk to your grandfather like that."
"Mom, Dad, am I wrong? I've never even met him, how can he just say we're engaged?"
"Didn't you meet right now?" The old master said in an unhappy tone, "The matter between you and Ulric was agreed between his master and I. If you object, then won't I lose credibility?"
"Grandfather……"
Mabel wanted to say more, but Ulric deliberately put in some good words for her, "Master Flores, since Miss Flores doesn't like me, you don't have to force it on her. Besides, I have already stated my intentions, and even if Miss Flores agrees to it, I won't necessarily be with her."
"Mr. Collins, what do you mean?"
"It's very simple. I'm the one who will be annulling this engagement, not her!"
Ulric's words brought a sense of shame to Mabel.
This country bumpkin actually... actually looked down on me...
Mabel felt it was frustrating and funny at the same time.
Just when he wanted to save his dignity, the old master persuaded Ulric, "Ulric, although my granddaughter is wilful, she has a good heart. As for this marriage, since it was originally agreed upon, there's no reason for you to break the contract. I think your master will also not break my agreement with him."
This…
Ulric did not know how to respond.
"Now that you have met, you can save me the trouble of making arrangements. From now on, you can live with her and work on your relationship."
Grandfather…
How could Mabel agree?
It was a very shameful thing to live together without being married. Furthermore, both of them were not on the same page at all, so how could he live with her?
"Okay, don't say any more! This matter is settled!"
Although Mabel was unwilling to give in, she did not dare to make him angry again. She glanced at Ulric and bit her lips in shame and anger.
It was eight o'clock at night.
Mabel walked out of the Flores family's old residence, and Ulric followed behind her. He presence made Mabel feel very restricted.
"Why are you following me? Do you really want to live with me?"
Ulric looked around and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just don't have a place to stay."
"You still can't follow me."
After several more steps, Ulric was still walking after her, which angered her.
"Are you done?"
Ulric said disapprovingly, "I told you, I have no place to stay."
"Are your eyes worthless? Can't you look for a hotel?"
"I have no money!"
Ulric was straightforward.
Mabel was speechless.
He doesn't even have the money to rent a room, but still shamelessly pesters me. Where does his courage come from?
She took out a few banknotes from her bag, and placed them in front of Ulric. "If you don't have any money, why didn't you tell me earlier? Take this, it's enough for a hotel."
She thought he would just take the money and leave, but he was indifferent.
"What? Too little?"
She took out some more and said coldly, "Is this enough?"
Ulric shook his head. Mabel was very unhappy. "What do you want? Do I need to give you a mountain of gold before you're willing to disappear from my sight?"
Ulric was neither humble nor arrogant. "You misunderstand, I don't want money."
"If you don't want money, then don't follow me."
Mabel was so angry that she raised her hand and threw the money into the sky. The banknotes fluttered in the wind; she was like a goddess, scattering flowers with beautiful grace.
Looking at her pretty figure, Ulric felt that she was really not that cold.
Is this how women from a rich family are?
She's really willful.
Sighing, Ulric bent down and picked them up one by one.
This time, Mabel saw that he had not caught up with her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
She continued walking forward, thinking that she could return to her residence smoothly. Who would have thought that when passing by a dark street, she encountered a woman running in a hurry, and behind her, there was a man shouting, "Bitch! Stop or I'll beat you to death!"
The woman was about thirty, rather pretty, wearing a pair of glasses, and looked like a teacher who.
However, at this time, she was running with a panicked look on her face, glancing at the man chasing her behind her from time to time, full of uneasiness and fear.
When she was only five or six meters away from Mabel, for some reason, she tripped. The woman screamed and fell to the ground.
The man caught up to her at this moment.
"You bitch, run won't you?"
The man stepped forward, and pulled her up by her hair. It hurt so much that the woman begged for mercy, "Please... please, please let me go..."
"Let you go?" The man yelled, "If I let you go, how can I get the money? You're coming with me."
"I... I won't, you traffickers, I won't go back."
"Hmph, that's not your call to make!"
The man yanked her up, looking like he wanted to rip off her scalp.
Mabel saw all these. She did not expect that there would still be human traffickers in modern society.
Seeing the pitiful and helpless look on that woman's face, Mabel could no longer restrain her anger and yelled, "Stop it!"
The man was surprised by her sudden voice. He had only been teaching this bitch a lesson, but he did not realize that there was a living beauty in front of him.
That beautiful face, tall height, elegant figure, and temperament were definitely not incomparable to that of those young and beautiful starlets on television.
If he brought her back, Brother Levy would definitely give him some benefits, maybe even reward him with a few more bankrolls if he was happy.
"What are you looking at? Let her go."
Mabel spoke again, and the man smiled sinisterly. "Why should I? You want to avenge her?"
"What about it? Instead of being an upstanding citizen, you chose to be a human trafficker. If you don't let go, I will call the police."
This girl...
The man thought it was quite interesting, so he released his hold on the woman and walked towards her.
Seeing him approaching her, Mabel was a little scared. "You... what do you want? I... I'm telling you, don't mess with me, otherwise, I... I will really call the police."
