“Of course, he’s my husband.” Mandy replied matter-of-factly. “But you’ve never brought him along before?” Angel asked curiously. “Don’t mind it so much. Are you willing to bring your boyfriend?” Tsk! Angel said contemptuously, “Mandy, I don’t mean to argue with you. If you bring Harvey, this worthless piece of trash, you’ll just humiliate yourself. Maybe someone at the gathering will take delight in that.” “Who?” Mandy appeared adorkable. “Nia Howell! Have you forgotten about her? Back in university, every man she liked had a secret crush on you. She would fail every time she confessed to a man. She wanted to strangle you to death so badly.” “I heard she had a good life in South Korea during these years. She’s now as beautiful as an angel after her plastic surgery. The reason she’s returning to our country is for this gathering.” Angel advised Mandy patiently. “She’s probably coming for you! Mandy, you’d better be careful!” “Besides, Nia was really lucky. I heard she us
“It’s a gift from your cousin.” Harvey said casually. “Kevin? How is that possible? This car costs at least more than three hundred thousand dollars. Why would he give this to you?” Angel was filled with disdain. ‘Harvey likes to act arrogant and put up a show. I don’t know where he rented this car. How can he be so shameless and say that it’s a gift from someone else?’ ‘It’s normal to rent a luxury car to show off for gatherings. But he’s not even aware that he needs to put up a better act if he really does want to show off. How could he wear such shabby clothes? If he tells people this car is his, no one will believe him.’ Harvey didn’t want to explain himself and simply drove. He was only telling the truth, but no one believed his words. The Porsche drove swiftly toward Hot Spring Villa in the suburbs.Hot Spring Villa was famous in Niumhi. The springs there were renowned for their ability in lessening fatigue and improving the appearance. The number of people who booked
“Wow! A Porsche!”One of the classmates exclaimed in astonishment. A Porsche was not as high-end as a Ferrari, but it enjoyed immense popularity among the masses. To the rest, both the Porsche and the Ferrari stood on the same level. Nia felt a twinge of annoyance. She said, “It’s just a pathetic second hand car. At most, it’s just one hundred fifty thousand dollars. Compared to my Ferrari, it’s not much. A Ferrari costs around eight hundred thousand dollars!” “What? How could there be such a vast difference in price?” “Nia, it turns out that your husband is very rich!” Her classmates’ jealousy towards Nia swelled further. There was indeed an incredible difference between the two cars. While a Porsche could be considered a nice car, it was nothing compared to a Ferrari. Now that everyone’s attention was back on her once more, Nia deliberately put on a disdainful air. “Honestly, my husband isn’t as great and exceptional as you think. Back when he tried to gain my affection,
“Sweetheart, they’re your classmates. Really, you’re all like a family. Why should you argue so much with them? You’ll look stingy.” Jamie, who was standing quietly at the back, stepped forward to hug Nia. At the same time, he sized Mandy up and was filled with astonishment. Nia was not less than Mandy in terms of beauty and figure. The most important thing was that Nia was very promiscuous, but her temperament wasn’t very good. Mandy was exceptional in terms of beauty and disposition. Unfortunately, she was married to a worthless piece of trash and got herself a live-in husband. For an outstanding woman like her, it was such a waste!Harvey parked the car nicely and then walked towards them. Mandy smiled and held his hand, and introduced him to the rest. “This is my husband. I’m sure everyone knows his name, so I won’t dwell on that.”The marriage between Harvey and Mandy was a well known fact for everybody in Niumhi. Mandy’s classmates knew he was the legendary live-in son-
Mandy was stunned. Previously, she didn’t even have the intention to look at Jamie. Now, she couldn’t help sneak a few glances at him.For her, she had always wished her future husband would be exceptional in terms of appearance and abilities. Cecilia shot a glimpse at Harvey, and sighed.Before, I told Mandy not to bring Harvey along. Now, how wonderful is this? She’s humiliated.’ Nia smiled and stood up. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry. My husband has learned how to play piano since young. His skills are pretty good, too. After he saw the piano, he couldn’t help but want to play it. He didn’t have any intentions to show off. I hope none of you pay any mind.” Nia said that they had no intention to show off, and she even asked the others not to mind it. Yet all that was exactly what she was doing right now, showing off. She was obviously enjoying the envy and admiration of her classmates.“Nia, you’re so lucky! You have such a great husband! It’s like he’s from heaven!” “T
“Nia, you’re shameless! If you want to put up a show, go ahead. No one will stop you. But why did you have to talk about Mandy? Is it amusing for you?” Angel was furious. “This is a gathering, not a place for you to show off your acting skills!” “Hey! Why are you so angry? Could it be that you’re charmed by my Jamie? You can’t accept that I have such an excellent husband, so you’re jealous of me, aren’t you? Is that why you couldn’t hold yourself back and tried to find fault with me?” Nia said, grinning. She even leaned on Jamie on purpose. “You…” Angel was so angry that she trembled. She couldn’t even breathe properly.Seeing that her best friend was being bullied, Mandy couldn’t hold herself back anymore. She strode forward and said slowly, “Nia, we’re classmates. Besides, today is a gathering. Why do you have to say such things?” Nia turned to Mandy with a faint smile “Mandy, are you upset with me? Is that why you asked your dog to come and bite me? If that’s the case, why do
Seeing that the classmates were speaking up for her, Nia became relieved. If her lie was exposed, she would be humiliated. Luckily, no one was willing to believe that live-in son-in-law, Harvey. “Worthless trash, why do you have to act like this? If you want to stand up for your wife, you need to have a little bit of self-awareness. You’re just a live-in son-in-law. Who would ever believe in your nonsense?” Nia spat, full of contempt. “I heard that you’ve been a live-in son-in-law for three years now. You always prepare the water for your mother-in-law to wash her feet. You even had to clean the bathroom. You don’t even get the chance to hold your wife’s hand. Why do you have to be like that? You’re a man, but you’re so pathetic. You’re an embarrassment to your own kind!” “Nia, you need to apologize to my wife and her best friend. We can just let it go just like that. How about that?” Harvey said calmly, not at all disturbed by Nia’s insults.“Mandy, is your husband out of his mi
Harvey touched the piano with his hands. He opened the lid of the piano with a soft bang. After that, he stretched his hands out to press on the keys softly.He was only standing there casually, playing the piano with one hand, but the graceful melody started to echo around the large hall. With every movement of his fingers, the melody fluctuated between tones of excitement, melancholy, and deep sounds...The smooth music was coupled with a perfect rhythm and the casual way it was played. While many of the people present knew little about music, they could faintly sense the way Harvey played the piano was so much better than Jamie’s. Nia’s facial expression grew incredibly hideous. She felt like she was deeply humiliated. At first, she wanted to make use of her plot to show off how exceptional Jamie was. It never occurred to her that Mandy’s live-in husband knew how to play the piano too. He even exposed Jamie’s fake act of playing the piano just now. Suddenly, shame and embarrass
