Chapter 6 Because I'm Better Looking
- "Lizzie, why do I run into you everywhere?"
- Petra's face was full of disdain.
- Lizzie Reid was a rich heiress of the Reids. She was Petra's sworn enemy.
- Both the Reids and the Snowdens were part of the River City's elite class.
- For the past three years, Petra had tirelessly cared for her comatose boyfriend, earning her a reputation for loyalty.
- Lizzie, however, was the exact opposite—a famous femme fatale of River City. She was notorious for switching men faster than seasons change.
- People always enjoyed comparing the two, which led Lizzie to harbor animosity toward Petra.
- Of course, the most important factor? Petra was prettier than Lizzie.
- "What? Feeling embarrassed now?"
- Lizzie picked up her phone and began recording a video of Petra and Liam. She mocked, "I'll show everyone the 'innocent' CEO's dirty little secret.
- "Petra, it's one thing to sneak around behind your comatose boyfriend's back, but couldn't you have found someone better?"
- Lizzie said with a knowing smile, her eyes scanning Liam up and down. "With his skinny little frame, how could he ever satisfy you?"
- "At least I can keep going for hours, unlike your three-second men," Liam shot back, clearly annoyed.
- I can last for seven days with Nine Nymphs, alright? Don't underestimate me.
- Petra's face flushed. This guy could really brag.
- "What nonsense are you spouting, punk?"
- The muscular guy next to Lizzie growled, clearly in anger. "Do you want me to knock your teeth out?"
- "You know it yourself, whether you're a three-second man or not."
- Liam looked at him with disdain and continued, "The woman next to you is clearly unsatisfied. Just wait till you two hit the bed. When you finish in three seconds, she'll kill you."
- The muscle man's face turned pale as if something had hit him. Suddenly, he clutched his stomach.
- "Ms. Reid, I-I'm sorry. My stomach ... I need to use the restroom."
- With that, the burly man ran into the restaurant, leaving Lizzie standing there with a dark expression on her face.
- Petra, on the other hand, was amazed. "Honey, did you really figure out that he's not up to it?"
- "Oh, you're calling him 'Honey' now, huh?"
- Lizzie sneered coldly, "Looks like this pretty boy is really satisfying you, Petra!
- "When you're straddling him, do you ever think of your poor, comatose boyfriend? The one who can't move at all?"
- "What if I told you, I'm actually Petra's comatose boyfriend?"
- Liam sighed and shook his head. "Ms. Reid, you should do some research on your rival."
- "What?"
- Lizzie couldn't believe her ears. "Petra, your comatose boyfriend ... he woke up?
- "What kind of dumb luck is that?"
- "Maybe it's because I'm better looking than you."
- Petra's words struck Lizzie right in the heart.
- "You—!"
- Lizzie was fuming.
- Just then, her phone rang.
- Lizzie picked up the call. Her furious expression quickly turned into one of joy, even glee.
- "Do you know what news I just received, Petra?"
- Lizzie's face was full of smugness. She revealed, "Tyra Mallin, the true legend of River City's business world and the most beautiful woman in the city, is awake!
- "Not only has she woken up, but she's also activated her multi-billion-dollar assets. She's invited all the major families in the city to a grand banquet tomorrow night. It'll be a gathering of the elite!
- "And do you know what the best part is? She's going to choose a business partner to establish Electra Group! Whoever she chooses will skyrocket to success!
- "And you, Petra, because of your useless comatose boyfriend, have lost that chance, hahaha!"
- Lizzie couldn't stop laughing, filled with joy.
- But Liam stood there, stunned.
- Tyra Mallin?
- The same Tyra, who is one of my nymph wives, Electra?
