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
Chad realized that and said, "So, you guys gathered here because of me—""No!"Yara interrupted Chad, grumbling, "Who would worry about you?! It makes no difference to us whether you die or not.Fifi chuckled. "Don't flatter yourself. I heard Coco was injured, so we came to see her. It has nothing to do with you."Chad looked puzzled and said, "I'd still be in the dark if you hadn't said anything! I had Liam take care of Coco. He—""And you still dare to say that?! He is Bloomington's police chief, but you asked him to look after a patient for you? What were you thinking?"Yara yelled angrily, yanking Coco away from Chad's side. "Don't get so close to him. He's been cozying up with a big star!""Brat! What are you talking about? You want me to slap you?"Fifi pretended to be angry, but after glaring at Yara, she redirected the conversation. "Actually, it was Yara who mentioned it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known, would we? She's like a tough cookie with a soft heart; she care
As they descended underground, Chad realized that his underground alchemy room utilized the space of the underground air-raid shelters.At that moment, it had been damaged to the extent that it connected to the air-raid shelters.Quickly, Lord Fifth led Chad to a warehouse inside one of the air-raid shelters, where his belongings were piled up.However, many things were already unusable.Fortunately, the Divine Censer was still intact, and Garyson's medicinal materials were fine as well.It was just that Chad's clothes, shoes, computers, furniture, and other items were all ruined!However, as Chad looked around the extensive network of air-raid shelters, he had a different idea.So Chad said, "Watch over the stuff for me. I'll come pick it up in a while. Just send me back for now."Back in the backyard, Lord Fifth said, "Those people aren't ordinary folk. You have to be careful."As he looked at the bottomless pit in front of him, Chad said, "I know, but those people all went
