Sarah's lips twitched into a mocking smile, and she said, "Whether Ms. Flemming can get married or not is none of your concern. She would rather remain unmarried for the rest of her life than give you a chance.
"Why don't you take a good look at yourself first? How terrible must you be that Ms. Flemming would rather not marry than give you a chance? Do you think you're that outstanding? And you're that handsome?"
"Also, how is Ms. Flemming ugly? Her beauty grows on you, but you're the kind who looks uglier the longer people look at you. You're simply not worthy of Ms. Flemming!
"You saw our distinguished guest earlier, didn't you? Now that's a handsome man. He's refined, capable, comes from a good family, and has assets worth over ten billion. He's a genuinely exceptional man. You can't hold a candle to him. Aren't you embarrassed even trying to compare yourself to him?"
Nate was speechless.
Sarah's words left him red-faced. After standing there dumbfounded for a while, he snorted, lifted his chin high, and walked into the hotel.
It took him a long time to recover. He stormed toward the entrance of the hotel, cursing, “So what if she's rich? If Everly Flemming weren't rich, who would even want her?
"Her beauty grows on you'? Well... Fine, that was true."
Nate had to admit that Everly was not ugly at all. She was genuinely the type who looked prettier the longer you looked at her.
He raised his hand to throw the bouquet away, but after thinking about it, he lowered it again.
He had paid for these flowers himself, so he was not about to throw them away. That would just be a waste of money.
If Everly did not want his flowers, he could give them to one of his other girlfriends. Whichever one received his bouquet would be delighted.
Nate continued grumbling as he prepared to leave. At that moment, his father, Andy Tatum, arrived at Clearfield Hotel.
The moment Andy saw him, he slapped his son across the face. Nate was stunned, clutching his stinging cheek where the slap landed.
"Dad, why did you hit me? Didn't you tell me to be more proactive?"
Andy shoved his son into the car
and slammed the door, shutting out the prying eyes outside before scolding, "I did tell you to be proactive, but i didn't tell you to piss off Everly! She's entertaining an important guest from her company today. Why did you insult her guest?
"You've ruined your own reputation by insulting him. Everly is already difficult enough to win over, and now you've destroyed whatever chance you've had. Do you think you're someone above everyone else just because her uncle introduced you?
"Do you know how many men her uncle has introduced to her? Has she thought highly of any of them? You know Toby Langham the son of the Zeters' neighbors, right? Toby
TS
a little better than you. Everly was even playmates with him for a while when they were children, but she still wouldn't give him a chance."
Steven had indeed tried to set Everly up with the younger son of their neighbors some time ago. Maddie thought that Toby was too flirtatious and unsuitable for her daughter, but after her older brother lectured her, she stopped objecting.
However, in the end, the match still went nowhere because Everly did not want to meet him.
Kaden had even shown Maddie a photo of Sonny, telling her that if Everly was not interested in a man as outstanding as Sonny, how could she possibly fall for a playboy like Toby?
His underlying intention was to tell the Zellers to stop trying!
