Charlie laughed and scolded, “Alright, stop flattering me here. Hurry up and go.”Zachary’s eyes were flushed red, and he could not stop two of his tears from streaming down. He hurriedly wiped the tears away with his sleeve as he sighed and said, “Master Wade, you might not know this, but all these years, I, Zachary Evans, have been like a fatherless orphan. Not to mention on Antique Street, but I would also have to nod, bow, and flatter everyone wherever I am. In the final analysis, anyone who has a say in Aurous Hill could bully me because I did not have anyone to back me up. Anyone could oppress me... I really did not expect that I would be able to follow Don Albert and you in my life...”As Zachary spoke of this, he could not help but wipe away another tear as he said seriously, “Master Wade, saying all this makes me look like I’m really useless! Anyway, you can rest assured that I will not disappoint or let you and Don Albert down in the future!”Charlie nodded and said, “Havi
When the other party heard that Vivian wanted to buy the 718, he subconsciously said, “Cut the crap! It’s six hundred thousand dollars with a minimum down payment of three hundred thousand dollars, and the insurance for the first year is more than ten thousand dollars. It’s not that I want to say anything, but where are you going to get so much money?!”Vivian sneered and said, “Oh, who are you looking down on? Let me tell you, I got a big order today, and I will be receiving three hundred thousand dollars in commission on my payday on the 15th of next month!”“F*ck!” The other party exclaimed, “Are you serious?! What kind of big order was it that you could raise a commission of three hundred thousand dollars?! Dude, I’ve been working so hard to sell secondhand cars, and I can only get about ten to eighteen thousand dollars a month! If your store is so profitable, I will go to your store for an interview someday!”Vivian smiled smugly and said, “Oh, do you think that anyone who want
Vivian heaved a sigh of relief and smiled as he said, “That would be great, and it would also be foolproof.”The other party said, “In that case, I will give the bank account for the car dealership to you. You should make the payment first and then record a video of yourself. In the video, you have to clearly state that you are voluntarily paying a deposit of one hundred thousand dollars to reserve the car. After that, you will make the final payment to collect the car before the 31st of next month. I will send the copyright text to you in a short while as well as the car’s frame number and engine number so that you can read it out when you are recording the video.”Vivian asked in surprise, “Is it that simple? I don’t need to go to your store to sign a contract?”The other party smiled and said, “Nowadays, it’s basically all video contracts. Even banks and security companies ask their customers to record their own videos now. It’s simple, convenient, carries no risks, and guarantee
It was the first time that Vivian had seen the store manager so restless.In his impression, his store manager was extremely capable and had a very strong personal ability. He could often play those rich people and rich women at the tips of his finger, and he was not only able to make them take money out of their pockets obediently, but he could also make them feel grateful.Therefore, in Vivian’s eyes, the store manager was his idol and life goal. Ever since Vivian entered this store, his perception had changed drastically. If it wasn’t because he was working in a luxury store, Vivian would never have known that those rich people who were usually bossy to ordinary people and had their noses up in the sky would actually cater to and please the salespeople in luxury shops in every possible way.If it wasn’t because he was working in a luxury store, Vivian wouldn’t have known that in this shop, no matter whether you were a big boss, a rich wife, or a young woman with a monthly all
Ironically, Vivian did not dare to run toward his own store, but instead, he ran out of the shopping mall in the opposite direction first. After that, he took a big detour from outside before returning to his own store.The mother who was holding her child was unable to chase him and had to let him escape.Vivian was out of breath by the time he got back to the store, but before he could catch his breath, he saw that all of his colleagues seemed to have a miserable and gloomy expression on their faces, almost as if they had lost a million dollars.This was especially so for the store manager. His eyes were flushed red as if he had just been crying.So, Vivian hurriedly went forward and asked, “Manager, what’s the matter with you? What happened?!”The store manager looked at him, stepped forward angrily, and kicked him to the ground as he scolded angrily, “Vivian Wynne! You f*cking son of a b*tch! You’ve really gotten me into deep sh*t this time!”When the other colleagues saw tha
The store manager never would have dreamt that Den would blurt this sentence out of his mouth.This made him furious at once, and he gritted his teeth as he cursed, “All that you f*cking care about is really just money! We have all been fired! We were all fired without getting even a single penny in compensation! The group also said that we caused extremely serious damage to the brand and they reserve the right to sue us because the group has suffered immeasurable huge losses! Perhaps we might even be the ones who will have to pay money back to the group instead!”Den was instantly stunned, almost as though he had just gotten struck by lightning. Everything went completely black before his eyes, and he almost passed out. Den only got jolted back to his senses thanks to a female colleague who came up and splashed a glass of ice water directly on his face.At this instant, Den burst into tears as he cried out, “How could this happen?! If the commission is not paid to me, how can I g
“F*ck!” The other party cursed and blurted out, “Didn’t you swear confidently that there would be no problems?!”Den said helplessly, “I also did not expect this... Now, there is an 80% probability that I will not be able to get the money. So, please, I beg you to please help me return the car!”The other party smacked his lips and said, “Den, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. It’s just that I really cannot do anything at all...”As the other party spoke, he added, “Your money was paid to our car dealership’s bank account, and you also signed a contract with the car dealership through a video recording. I already forwarded your video to my boss, and my boss only agreed to keep this car for you because of that combined with the transaction record for your transfer of one hundred thousand dollars. If you want to return the car now, it would be considered a breach of contract, and according to the terms of the contract, that one hundred thousand dollars will have nothing to do wi
The other party said helplessly, “That is still better than you losing one hundred thousand dollars, right? It would be impossible for you to get out of this matter without making any losses now, so the important thing is for you to stop your losses in time!”Den was slightly stunned, and he thought to himself that what his friend had just said was right. The most important thing was for him to stop his losses in time.As Den thought of this, he hurriedly said, “Benedict, please help me get in touch with that big brother today. I want to pick up the car as soon as possible and resell the car quickly to get back as much of my money as possible...”The other party said, “No problem. I will give you an address and phone number. You can go to him directly. Mention my name, and I estimate that he can give you a 20% discount for the interest.”Den said gratefully, “Thank you so much, Benedict!”“You’re welcome.” The other party said, “We are buddies, so I must give you a hand! I will se
Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong
Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway
The traffic police officer smiled in exasperation. "Is there no getting through to you? You could even afford to drive a nice car, and you'd most likely survive an accident. But what if you were left bedridden for a long time? Yell at each other in the same hospital room?"Elaine waved him off. "I don't care—all I know is that I will always get my revenge, and on the spot if possible. If there were superheroes, I would be Wonder Woman!""Urgh…" The traffic police officer was utterly speechless. "How about this? We will call your daughter and have her come over to bail you. She will mediate your fight!"With those words, he returned Elaine's phone to her, and it happened to ring just then.It was a call from Claire.Seeing that the contact name said [Daughter], the traffic police officer quickly said, "Go on, answer it!"Elaine took it and answered the call, and Claire asked urgently before she could say a word, "Mom? Where are you? Where's Dad? Are you both alright?"Elaine sulk
While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w
However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you
The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,
Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v
Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y
Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th
