Despite Chad's promise, Raine continued to wear a troubled expression after hanging up the phone.After many years, she returned to Bloomington, and as soon as she stepped off the plane, she ran into her best friend from high school, Mandy Pickering.Raine's family had an average income when she was in high school, with her parents working as migrant workers in Bloomington.On the other hand, Mandy came from a wealthy local family and frequently took Raine around to demonstrate her superiority.Mandy, who had just returned from Europe, appeared proud and arrogant when she saw Raine.She even asked Raine to join her for their class reunion in the evening.Raine understood there was no such thing as a class reunion. It was simply Mandy's attempt to assert and extract a sense of superiority from her.Raine was the type who did not know how to say no, so she agreed in a daze.After hanging up the phone, Raine sat in the supreme suite and complained to Cynthia. "Why didn't I refuse
The clothes on that guy appeared to be high-quality knock-offs, no matter how one looked at them!However, Cynthia could not find any flaws in those clothes. Her initial assessment was that they were genuine."Redd, fetch me two sets of clothes!"Chad spoke without hesitation, and the chubby guy, Redd Gael, did as he asked. He immediately delivered two sets of the most recent luxury men's clothing.After Chad tried them on separately, Redd gave his opinion."Armani is too well-known; Giorgio Armani suits you better, it's more distinctive, so let's go with this one.Chad did not mind them; as long as the clothes were not embarrassing, he would be fine with them. "I'll take your word for it!"Throughout the process, the two beautiful women remained silent.In their opinion, both sets of clothes were equally good.They were more surprised by how the guy who worked in the wholesale clothing market could obtain luxury clothing.After Chad changed into his Giorgio Armani outfit, Re
Donny wished he had not gone there because then, he would not have had to witness that scene.Raine approached him with a handsome man, smiling.Donny's heart broke. Raine looked a lot better.She had corrected her buck teeth and looked even more beautiful than Mandy, who was heavily made up."I haven't seen you in a long time. You've regained your handsomeness!" Raine smiled and greeted Donny first, then looked at the others.When Mandy saw her, she immediately perked up and summoned a group of former classmates to greet her."Hello, Raine. It has been a long time. Your boyfriend is very handsome. Please introduce him!" Mandy's intention in getting Donny there was to tease him.In high school, Donny, like Raine, was the source of joy for the entire class.Raine was a silly, buck-toothed girl back then, and Donny was known as a trash picker.Both came from low-income families, with Donny's family even poorer, so he had to work hard to pay for school.During college, Donny wor
"You could count the number of supreme masters in the world on one hand."Everyone was stunned to hear that because it contradicted their perception of Raine.After not seeing each other in several years, she was able to boast like that.Donny also frowned. The Health Bureau had recently rated his small shop Class A for food permits, which had made him happy for quite some time.Michelin Stars and Master Chefs had nothing to do with him.Mandy refused to accept it and smiled. "Since that's the case, let's treat Raine to a taste of this Michelin three-starred restaurant!""Okay! It's nothing difficult. I'll try it. If it's not good, I won't eat it." Raine was sincere and said whatever came to her mind.That irritated Mandy, but the others just laughed.They laughed at Raine for being so naive. Mandy intentionally made things difficult for her, but she was unaware of it.On the other hand, they were laughing at Mandy. She wanted to laugh at Raine's misfortune and feel superior b
"Raine, why don't you tell everyone about your job?"Chad cleared his throat, intending to assist Raine, but ultimately decided to let her speak for herself.The men's eyes lit up as if they were about to hear something spicy.On the other hand, the women wore disgusted expressions, thinking Raine was filthy and disgraceful.Donny even clenched his fists, unable to believe how Raine had turned out.Raine said, "Sure! I'm currently working on beauty herbal cuisines, catering to high-end clients, particularly women. My female clients gave me all of these clothes as gifts."Donny sighed with relief as he released his tightly clenched fists.However, disappointment was evident on the faces of the men present.It was far from what they had expected. However, the women became interested, while Mandy believed Raine was simply boasting.So she asked again, "Who are these clients who send you such expensive gifts?""They are CEO wives, and of course, there are also interna...""Um, s
Raine exclaimed excitedly, "Ah! I do have Elsa's number!"Forrest spat out his wine with a surprised expression. Then he burst into laughter.Everyone laughed; they saw Raine as a joke.Mandy laughed the loudest. "Raine, I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it. Continue to pretend and see what happens!"However, the next moment, Raine made the call and even put it on loudspeaker.What surprised everyone the most was that they conversed in French.Forrest and Mandy studied French, and hearing Raine speak it fluently was shocking.The details of their conversation were even more explosive!However, they were secretly relieved that no one present spoke French.So, after Raine hung up the phone, Mandy spoke first."Raine, so you speak French! You have a good teacher. It sounds very authentic."Raine did not respond; instead, she looked at Forrest and asked, "Elsa said that there are no Hacniane people in her company, and her company doesn't even have a business department."
"I am. What about it?" Chad admitted it, but Forrest did not believe him."He couldn't be Matilda's ex-husband. You're overestimating him. With his looks? There's no way."Mandy sneered, "Exactly! Even though Matilda has been kicked out of the group, she wouldn't look at someone like him."Donny also felt skeptical after hearing their words."This can't be a coincidence. Maybe they just share the same name?""The same name? His name is probably fake, too!"Mandy immediately refuted Donny's statement and then teased Raine."Raine, he's saying that he's Matilda's ex-husband with a lot of money. Is this why you're with him? If that's the case, you've been duped. This person is a con artist.Everyone believed Mandy; Raine must have been duped.Raine was anxious. "No, it's not like that. He's not a con artist, he—"She tried to explain, but Chad gently pulled her and whispered."Stop talking. They won't believe you."Raine had never been doubted like that before and was at a los
"Of course! But who else is in your room?"Yara said coldly, "Who else do you think? Everyone who should be there is there!"Chad lazily withdrew his hand from stretching and stood up, saying, "Then I'm not going. Have fun, guys.""Don't you dare!"Yara glared at Chad, no longer as gentle as before.Chad hesitated for a moment. Then he smiled helplessly and prepared to leave. As he passed by Forrest, he deliberately patted the man on the shoulder."Go back to Europe! There isn't a place for you in Bellenuite anymore.Forrest shivered. After Chad left, he received a call from Bellenuite's Human Resources Department."Is this Mr. Forrest? The company's senior management has decided to cancel your appointment. You don't have to report here anymore."Furthermore, the other party did not give him a chance to speak, hanging up as soon as they finished.Smack!After Forrest put down his phone, he raised his hand and slapped Mandy."You want to amuse yourself, but your fun has cost
