Chapter 1173 Passed Out From Anger
75%
Lo and behold, the rose seller returned, saying to Emmanuel, “Sir, how about some roses for this pretty lady?”
Emmanuel was instantly bewildered and frowned. “Didn’t I just buy one?”
But the man acted as if it never happened, saying, “Buy a few more. After all, the lady in front of you is pretty,
right?”
Emmanuel realized it now. This guy thought he was pursuing Ashton, so he was trying to take advantage of him by selling roses
at an inflated price.
100 dollars per rose-this sales tactic could bleed someone dry!
Ashton, on the other hand, seemed delighted and knew the rose seller’s routine but deliberately remained silent,
wanting to see if Emmanuel would take the bait.
Unexpectedly, Emmanuel didn’t follow the expected response. Instead, he directly questioned the man, “Are you sure she’s
pretty?”
Huh? The rose seller was stunned.
Ashton’s smile, too, froze on her face.
“Look at her wide forehead and not-so-great complexion. Is she really pretty?” Emmanuel continued to question.
The rose seller was thrown off by his unexpected bluntness, unsure of how to respond.
Slap!
Ashton suddenly flipped out. She slammed the table and stood up. “Are you listening to yourself, Emmanuel?! Am ! not
beautiful? Is my forehead big? My complexion isn’t good because I’m not feeling well today, you jerk! You stingy guy!”
Her title of “Tyrannosaurus” wasn’t just for show. Quick to anger, and when she did, her voice echoed through the entire bar,
startling everyone present.
Naturally, the rose seller was terrified. He couldn’t believe the bombshell turned out to be so fierce. Even more shockingly, the
gentleman here still refused to buy her flowers! Are you choosing money over your life?!
Emmanuel was also stumped. After a while, he turned to the rose seller with a smile. “Now, you tell me if she’s still pretty.”
The rose seller naturally didn’t have Emmanuel’s courage. His legs had already turned to jelly just seeing Ashton’s furious
appearance. He could only give Emmanuel a thumbs up. “Hats off to you, dude. I won’t rip you off anymore!” he said and
retreated hastily.
The commotion drew the attention of the people around the bar. When the rose seller left, they began to discuss in hushed
tones.

“Look at that man at that table. He’s not even willing to buy roses for that woman!”
“Huh, he even said that woman isn’t beautiful! Well, I think she’s quite stunning! Look at her figure, tsk tsk...”
“I wonder how traumatized that woman would be, imagine dating someone like him!”
Emmanuel and Ashton were both astute individuals, and they naturally overheard these comments.
Emmanuel didn’t mind much. He wasn’t pursuing Ashton, let alone here for a date. There was no reason for him to be so
foolishly taken advantage of. However, Ashton was furious, feeling that she had been humiliated. She now had the notion that
everyone thought she had a large forehead. D*mn you, Emmanuel!
The next moment, she stormed out of the bar in rage, over and done with Emmanuel.
“Hey!”
Emmanuel thought Ashton was completely unreasonable. He had already bought her a rose, so why was she still angry? They
hadn’t even discussed the case, and she was already leaving. Wouldn’t everyone’s trip here be in vain?! However, the more he
called, the faster Ashton walked away.
Many women were unreasonable when they were angry; they couldn’t care less about anything else.
All Ashton had in mind then was that she had to make Emmanuel say she was prettier than his sister and that he also had to
publicly present her with flowers. However, the next second, she felt a rush of sweetness in her throat. Suddenly, her vision
darkened, and she swayed before collapsing to the ground.
“Hey, Ashton!” Emmanuel quickly stepped forward, catching her to prevent her from falling.
However, the onlookers weren’t paying close attention and erupted into discussions upon witnessing the scene.
“Look, that girl literally passed out from anger because the man didn’t buy her flowers.”
“To cause such trouble over saving a little money, it’s really not worth it!”
“Tell me about it. That guy is so unromantic, even I wouldn’t date him!”
“Is his woman deliberately pretending to faint, forcing him to buy flowers?”
Emmanuel was speechless. Firstly, he did buy flowers. Secondly, Ashton wasn’t his girlfriend, and he wasn’t pursuing her. What
were these people babbling about?
