One of them was North, who could only afford watches worth 40,000 dollars while the other was the wealthy South family…Any idiot would know who to pick!Mr. Cohen’s expression instantly became severe. “Ms. Myers, we’re all adults here. Do me a favor and leave of your own accord!”As he spoke, he was going to take back the watches from North. North scoffed as she swept a glance over Fiona and Melinda. She looked as though she were looking at a couple of dead people.“Mr. Cohen, are you sure that you want to chase me out?”Mr. Cohen sniffed coldly. “If you don’t leave, Ms. Myers, then I’ll be calling security!”North slowly took out a gold-colored card. “But what if I have a platinum card?”North was low-key not because she was afraid of causing trouble but simply because she could not be bothered to reveal to the Myers family her true capabilities.But she refused to let Fiona and Melinda get what they wanted today. They wanted to humiliate her? Fat chance!Instantly, everyt
Mr. Cohen suddenly realized something was not right and began stuttering, “N-No, this lady said she had her own platinum card, but we’ve never seen it before. We thought she was a hustler…”“You idiot!”Mr. Stein quickly strode up to North. When he saw the card, he started to feel faint.There were only two platinum cards like this in the world.One belonged to Gerald Howard, leader of Deep Pool Corporation. Their boss had gifted the other one to a VIP guest many years ago.It did not matter who the owner of this card was. Long story short, this woman was not someone he could afford to offend!With shaky knees and a flattering tone, Mr. Stein asked, “May I know your name, miss?”Everyone was stunned. As they watched Mr. Stein fawn over North, they found themselves unable to speak.Fiona was about to go mad. Seriously? Why would North Myers be a platinum card customer?!North glanced at Fiona before she suddenly smiled. “You don’t have to be so polite with me, but I am a Myers.
The Souths got removed? The Souths got removed from the list?!This was the biggest luxury mall in Peacevale, the favorite place to shop for everyone in upper-class society.If the Souths got their names removed because of her, no less, wouldn’t that make her a joke?Mr. Stein could not be bothered with them, so he turned to North. “Are you satisfied with the actions we took, Miss North?”North nodded. “Not bad. It seems you’re very sincere, Mr. Stein. I’ll continue shopping, then.”Mr. Stein felt weak in his knees and almost collapsed. Thank goodness he had convinced her to stay.Then, North added casually, “However, Mr. Stein, Mrs. South’s already purchased that 3.88-million-dollar watch set. Let her have it, then. A sale’s a sale, right?”Mr. Stein had no idea what North was trying to do. “Of course. I’ll give Mrs. South her receipt right away.”With a beep, Fiona’s card was charged 3.88 million dollars. After that, the couple’s watch set with the “Only loving you all my lif
Connor shut up immediately and did not say another word. However, Gerald knew Connor’s information could not possibly be wrong. If he said North had used a platinum card, that meant she had one.That was weird. The abandoned eldest daughter of the Myers family? A platinum card owner? This was surprising news.North did not notice the tension in the study, so she held out the men’s watch from the set. “This watch may be cheap, but the craftsmanship is good so it won’t look like a low-quality item. Here.”Gerald chuckled. “So, you went out just to buy me a watch?”North blinked innocently. “Yes.”“What made you want to get me one?”North tsked. Why? Because it was his birthday, obviously.But she had heard from Steward that for some reason, Gerald never celebrated his birthday.If she told him it was a birthday gift, he would probably get mad.So, North made up an excuse. “This watch goes well with your suit, so I wanted to give it to you. What’s with all the questions?”The
Gerald was interested immediately. “Is that so?”North thought of a good idea, then said, “Mrs. South was harassing me and threatening to get me kicked out. That’s why I claimed I had a platinum card to scare them off. “I didn’t think Mr. Stein would get scared too. When he asked who owned the platinum card, I figured you’d definitely have one since you’re so powerful in Peacevale. So, I said it was yours.”Gerald smiled slightly. “Mr. Stein? I remember that man was a smart guy. Why would he treat you like a platinum customer if he didn’t even see the card?”North looked down shyly. “Well, I told him about our marriage. Mr. Stein thought that if I was married to you, it’d be understandable if I had your platinum card. Aren’t I right?”Gerald’s smile widened.Yes, that sounded perfectly logical. There was no way he would not believe her.North secretly sighed with relief. That meant she had gotten away with it, right?Gerald chuckled. “Hmm, smart move, Mrs. Howard. But next tim
Melinda seemed like she wanted everyone around them to hear, so her face turned red as she repeated, “Mr. Howard’s interested in working with our family, so he invited me. I was wondering if you wanted to tag along and broaden your horizons.”Everyone around them stared, wondering if they’d heard her right. Royal Sights Residences? Mr. Howard?!The leader of Deep Pool Corporation was inviting Melinda Myers to his house?!Wow, that was such an honor!“Melinda Myers was invited to Royal Sights Residences? What project is she working on that caught that man’s eye?”“I think it wasn’t a project that caught his eye, but a person. Why else would North not be invited even though she’s a Myers too?”“Hahaha! North isn’t saying anything! I bet she’s jealous of Melinda.”Melinda’s ego got a big boost from this. Yes, that was the way things should be. She wanted everyone to know that she was better than North.She wanted North to be ashamed of herself and acknowledge how different they
Beep beep!North’s phone rang, snapping her out of her trance.On the other end, Connor asked respectfully, “Your car is here, Madam. Are you returning to Royal Sights Residences now?”North thought for a while. “Would I get there ahead of Melinda if I went home now?”Connor hesitated. “Yes.”“Good.” North found Connor’s car and hopped in with some relief. “How much money did Myers Corporation invest in the Riverside Garden project?”“Three hundred million,” Connor answered.Three hundred million, huh? That must have been the last of Myers Corporation’s cash reserves.North began thinking.Henry Myers must be meeting with Gerald for investment purposes.She wanted the Myers to lose it all, so she needed a plan.…Meanwhile, the moment Melinda got into her car, a professional makeup team started dolling her up.When Fiona and Eiger saw her, they were happy and relieved. “You really are our lucky star, Melinda.”Melinda’s meeting with Mr. Howard for business negotiations wa
At the same time, Melinda was following a servant into the mansion. As the butler, Steward stepped forward to greet them. “Welcome to Royal Sights Residences, Mr. Myers. Connor has some things to confirm with you, so please go meet him.”Henry was thrilled and left after a quick word with Melinda.Then, Steward looked at Melinda. When he remembered what North had instructed him to do, something flashed in his eyes, and he deliberately said, “Miss North, please come with me. Mr. Howard will be here shortly.”Melinda’s smile froze. “Mr. Steward, I’m Melinda Myers…”Steward paused. “Huh? Melinda Myers? But Mr. Alexander said North Myers was in charge of this project.”Melinda bit her lip in anger, and she teared up before lying shamelessly, “She is in charge, but she suddenly backed out a few days ago. I’m just taking over temporarily. Do let me know if I’m doing anything wrong, Mr. Steward.”Steward pretended to look insulted. “Backed out? That’s so irresponsible of her!”Melind
