**TITLE: Arrived 251**
**The Invisible Wife Turned Savage**
**Chapter 251: Quit Following Me, Rich Boy**
Estella’s voice was as calm as a still lake, betraying no emotion. “No need. I have neither the standing nor the right to make you change.”
Kevin, feeling the weight of her words, wiped the sweat from his brow, an anxious frown creasing his forehead. “Then what do you want from me? You know I’ve been spoiled since birth; isn’t it normal for me to have flaws? I’m serious about you—can’t you just believe me, please?”
His tone had shifted, stripped of bravado and filled with vulnerability, leaving those around him momentarily speechless.
It was a stark contrast to the man who had so brazenly rented out an entire restaurant just moments ago. Now, here he was, a figure of desperation, pleading with Estella for a scrap of understanding.
In that instant, the onlookers grasped a powerful truth: Estella was untouchable. Regardless of her marital status or her financial standing, her allure remained unblemished.
Mindy, lurking in the background, felt a sharp twist of jealousy knot in her stomach.
Just then, the sound of screeching tires broke through the tension as her driver pulled up, rushing over to her with an apologetic demeanor. “Sorry, madam, I’m late.”
Mindy couldn’t help but wish he had chosen to stay away.
As he arrived, the crowd’s eyes were drawn to the car he drove—a Maybach that, while luxurious, seemed outdated compared to the sleek, modern vehicles owned by Mr. Hartwell and Kevin.
Mindy felt the heat of embarrassment wash over her. Why now? Why this moment? Was he trying to bury her in humiliation?
She understood that lingering any longer would only invite further mockery. With fury boiling inside her, she stormed into the car and barked at the driver to leave immediately.
In her past, every exit had been marked by grace and poise; this was the first time she had retreated in such shame.
Meanwhile, Estella remained unfazed by both Kevin’s pleas and the curious stares of the crowd. She turned on her heel, ready to leave.
Kevin, however, was not ready to let her go. He trailed behind her like a shadow, desperate and persistent. “Estella, let’s go see a movie, okay?”
She had never been fond of being followed.
As she hailed a cab to head home, Kevin made a bold move, his hand clamping down on the door to prevent her from entering.
The driver, growing impatient, tapped his fingers against the steering wheel. “Are you getting in or not?”
Kevin, sensing the urgency, stuffed a handful of cash into the driver’s hand. “Sorry, you go on ahead. I need to coax my girlfriend.”
The sight of the cash seemed to lighten the driver’s mood considerably. With a grin, he offered unsolicited advice, “Your boyfriend’s really generous. You should appreciate him.”
With that, the driver sped off, leaving Estella to confront Kevin.
She raised an eyebrow, skepticism etched on her face. “Are you really going to keep following me?”
With a determined nod, he affirmed, “Yes.”
