Rise Of Rejected Husband

Chapter 9

Jacob gazed at Richard quizzically. At first glance, he had seen that Richard was wearing ordinary-looking clothes.

Just an ordinary shirt with ordinary-looking jeans, what's so great about that? He smiled mockingly. "Millions of dollars?" He laughed, "Seriously. With your appearance like this, don't act so much." The man looked at his woman, who was also looking at Richard's appearance, which to her was very ordinary.

The woman's laughter was loud. "Millions of dollars, he said?" He hit Jacob's arm, finding it funny. "Does he think we can be fooled, huh?" the woman directed her gaze towards Richard, who was staring calmly at them.

They might not know it, but Richard, who wore those clothes, knew for sure about the quality of the items he used. He knew that because Doris told his about many things.

Although he didn't seem to be paying attention, Richard was listening to what Doris was saying about the whole house.

He heard Doris mention how rich he was and how expensive the things in the house were. Even the price of a spoon, a trivial object in the house alone, reached thousands of dollars.

There were no cheap things in the house. Doris ensured that everything in the house was worthy of Richard's use. Even if Richard was unfamiliar with famous clothing brands or luxury goods, he at least knew his clothes were not cheap.

He might not recognize it, but Richard was sure it was worth millions of dollars, considering what Doris had told him.

"Even if someone like you said you had thousands of dollars in your pocket, I wouldn't believe it." He didn't stop making fun of him with insults just to make him feel better than Richard.

The people around the place noticed. They began to smile a little, glancing at Richard and the commotion with strange looks, while some laughed without hesitation to be heard by Richard, who was now the subject of ridicule.

Jhonas looked around him and realized that the current situation was spilling over them and getting increasingly chaotic. "Never mind, Richard, there's no point in responding to them." Jhonas touched Richard's arm, trying to pull him away from there.

Their laughter intensified as Richard's steps shifted slightly, and was about to stop responding or getting involved in it because, for him, of course, it was pointless.

"Look......look at them go," Jacob said with a snort in his arrogant manner.

He then glanced in the other direction, drawing their attention by circling his gaze to meet them and raising his voice. "What a dreamer. Is it because your life is so low and hard to accept that you fantasize about what you have?" his eyes kept moving not only to Richard but also to the others, looking for validation from the others.

The laughter from the others made him feel like he was getting the satisfaction of putting his position ahead of Richard.

The woman beside him joined in the laughter. "Isn't that the habit of the poor?" He looked at Richard with a fierce gaze.

Richard looked away from them with a faint smile on his face. He was beginning to find them amusing to him.

"Maybe he's a friend of the waiter, the reason why he defended him like that." Jacob looked at Richard and the servant, as well as Jhonas, contemptuously. "They don't belong in this place and should be taught a lesson."

Richard shifted his gaze towards Jacob. The man's arrogant attitude was enough to make him sick. "You're the one who doesn't deserve to be here," Richard replied calmly.

He wasn't offended by the man's words, but his arrogant attitude prevented Richard from letting it go.

His behavior of thinking that he was superior to others and full of arrogance when he was not that great was interesting enough to make Richard want to shut his mouth.

Richard looked at him flatly. "You don't deserve and seem to belong in this place." Richard moved his eyes to give Jacob an appraising gesture. "Your attitude is too arrogant for this place, very inappropriate and uneducated-like."

"Shut your mouth!" Jacob exclaimed spontaneously.

He didn't seem to accept what Richard said. Jacob then approached, wanting to confront him and reverse his position, but Richard who seemed full of confidence, made it difficult for him to face him.

Jacob clenched his fists. He stared at Richard and was ready to hit him. But Richard responsively caught his arm and made Jacob grimace with pain because of his arm gripped by Richard.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" The woman exclaimed and moved closer to Richard, but Richard's raised hand that knocked Jacob's hand away made the woman stop.

He noticed an emblem on his wrist that revealed the letter S logo, which looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.

The woman then took out her phone and looked up what she saw from an internet search.

His eyes were fixated on the same emblem he saw on Richard's shirt.

"Didn't I see wrong?" she muttered quietly and then read the official website page.

On that page, the woman knew that what Richard was wearing was the brand's latest release. She was stunned, staring at Richard in disbelief, and then she pulled Jacob's arm to look at her.

Jacob, still upset with Richard's treatment, tried to elbow and ignore what the woman was doing. Then, when the woman fell silent, he became curious and glanced at her.

He glanced at the woman curiously, noticing that her face looked not okay. She seemed to have discovered something that surprised her.

Jacob, who was not calmly disturbed by her sudden change, then pulled out the woman's phone to see what the woman saw from the screen. "What exactly did you see?" He glanced at the woman, then turned to his phone screen.

"The clothes he's wearing are worth millions of dollars." the woman gasped.

Jacob, who saw the woman's phone screen, frowned. For a moment, he became anxious. He was silent and felt disturbed. But then he overcame his feelings and looked at her. "Are you naive or what?" Jacob half exclaimed. "Aren't there a lot of fakes and knock-offs?"

The woman stared and looked at him silently. He read that the item was the latest release of the season to be duplicated or imitated was not too soon.

"They're counterfeit goods. Nowadays, counterfeit goods are scattered everywhere. Do you think it's the real thing?" Jacob assured her.

The woman nodded. "You're right." The woman trusted Jacob over her reasoning, making Richard stare at them like a spectacle.
