As everyone watched, Elio grabbed Yamila’s ankle. It was soft and smooth to the touch, but he did not get distracted. He subtly circulated his energy into his palm and then abruptly twisted Yamila’s foot. There was a soft crack, and Yamila screamed in pain. "Owww! What are you doing? It hurts!"Her exquisite facial features twisted. She instinctively tried to pull her foot back, but she could not break free from Elio’s grip."Don't move!" Elio barked. "If you want to recover completely, you have to deal with a little pain. Bear with it.""Got it." Yamila's face flushed red. She felt humiliated.As the Third Princess of Coventry Street, she considered herself a ruthless thug. She did not make a single sound when she was getting all those tattoos, so how could she cry out in pain now? What a joke!Moreover, after the intense pain, she felt a refreshing energy wash over her wound. She instantly felt much better, and she was delighted by the improvement. Elio had not been bluffing,
Elio glanced at Xareny and said impatiently, "Could you keep it down, ma’am? I'm in a good mood today, so I offered to treat your daughter. Without my help, she might be crippled for good. So stop nagging and bring me a bottle of high-quality white wine. Oh, and a lighter as well."Everyone was stunned. So what if he was rich? No one else in the entire Cloudsea would dare to talk to Xareny like that!Xareny was also shocked, but she was not angry. She figured he had to be truly capable if he had the guts to talk to her like that. Perhaps he could really treat his daughter's foot injury.To everyone’s surprise, she smiled. Although she was not young anymore, her mature charms could still make anyone’s heart skip a beat. She instructed, "Beyla, go upstairs and bring the best white wine from the cabinet. I have a lighter in my bag.""Okay!" Beyla quickly ran upstairs and soon returned with a bottle that she placed on the coffee table. Xareny also took out an intricate golden lighter
Everyone gasped in amazement. Not only was Elio filthy rich, but he even possessed miraculous medical skills. He cured Yamila’s wound like it was nothing!Xareny was delighted to see her daughter fully recovered. The weight on her heart had been lifted, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face."I'm sorry for misunderstanding you just now. Please forgive me for my rudeness. Thank you for curing my daughter." Xareny took out two stacks of banknotes from her bag and offered them to Elio. There was 2,000 dollars in cash there, which she felt was a substantial amount.However, to her surprise, Elio did not accept the money at all. "I don't want any money, so put it away. I only helped because I saw that your daughter was in pain. I don't want any reward."As if his medical services could be bought with money! He did not say that out loud, though. The other people knew what was going on. Xareny was being a little presumptuous. After all, Elio was no ordinary doctor, but a billionair
Those exclusive black cards came in various tiers of prestige. The gold black card boasted a limit of $15 million, with only a hundred in circulation. The diamond black card extended its limit to $150 million, but only ten existed. And then, there was the obsidian card—the pinnacle of wealth and status. With only one in the entire country, it required a staggering $750 million just to activate. It was unparalleled, a symbol of unparalleled affluence and influence. Possessing any of these cards was akin to holding a ticket proclaiming one's immense wealth and power. Yet, acquiring them wasn't a matter of application; one had to be invited by the bank.Xareny, who possessed over $15 million herself, yearned to brandish a gold black card to assert her status. However, that dream remained elusive—only a hundred cards were ever issued, and her name wasn't on the list. It seemed absurd, yet there was a young individual in possession of an obsidian card. What extraordinary background must th
It felt as though Elio had the entire place to himself, with curious customers sneaking peeks around corners.The young women, confident in their own looks, were eager to catch a glimpse of the bride who had captured Elio's heart—the wealthy, handsome man who was smitten with his lady love.If she failed to live up to their expectations of charm and beauty, they wouldn't be pleased. Ready to pull out all the stops to win him over and take her place, they watched with keen interest.Meanwhile, looking fresh and lovely, the staff lined up at the door as if welcoming royalty. Three of them held up exquisite Dior wedding gowns, while others brandished flowers and bouquets, all prepared for the grand entrance.Sitting on a couch nearby, Elio was getting antsy. He fished out his phone, thinking about calling Evelyn to see if she was close.Outside, a sleek BMW convertible pulled up. The door swung open, and a man and woman walked in, turning heads. However, the lady's thick makeup and t
Charlie felt a sense of pride as he saw how genuinely happy Cindy was. He silently congratulated himself for being so clever. With just a little bit of thought, he had made her incredibly happy.His eyes then landed on the Dior wedding dress, with its sparkling rhinestones shining so brightly. Cindy was in awe. It was, without a doubt, the most gorgeous and elegant wedding dress she had ever seen. She could not believe that Charlie had such great taste and that he was willing to spend so much on a wedding dress for her."Wow!" Cindy's eyes sparkled with delight. She knew she had chosen the right guy. She sighed with admiration, "This wedding dress is so beautiful, I'm totally in love with it. Charlie, thank you for everything you've done for me. I can't wait to wear it and be your most beautiful bride!"Meanwhile, Charlie's eyes widened as he beheld the dazzling spectacle of the wedding dress. His heart pounded with apprehension, knowing that this would spell disaster. He wasn't obl
Being insulted again made Elio's anger rise. He was not a coward, but as a man who had married into his wife's family, he knew he could not show off too much. He was supposed to be respectful to avoid trouble with the Jones family, which could mess up his relationship with Evelyn.He loved his wife so much that he kept on putting up with everything, but it only made people disrespect him more, especially Charlie. Charlie saw him as a huge annoyance and was always looking for a way to get rid of him for good."I'm here to take wedding photos, and it's none of your business. We should keep to ourselves and not bother each other, or you'll regret it," Elio replied with an icy tone.If Charlie had any sense, he would walk away, and that would be that. However, if not, Elio would not let him off the hook so easily."You've been married for over three years. Are you taking a wedding photo now? Who are you trying to trick?" Charlie said with a sneer.Surprised murmurs rippled through the
Elio was his name, and just like the sun, he was warm and strong.The crowd grew more and more puzzled. What was happening? Why did things not add up? Elio, a young man with a huge fortune, owed someone 1.5 million dollars and had not paid it back? Who was that man's grandfather? He seemed to be someone important!Cindy was secretly thrilled. She thought her boyfriend was clever and powerful. Maybe he could even get that wedding dress from the kid, and she would hit the jackpot. She would be the most extravagant bride in Cloudsea, second to none.She did not care how the dress was obtained, whether stolen or forced. It just showed her boyfriend's strength. She shouted, "Did you hear that? You'll be sorry if you don't give up the wedding dress."Elio did not even want to respond, shaking his head, "You can't reason with some people."Meanwhile, a dark green Land Cruiser screeched to a stop outside the photo studio. The tires screamed as they skidded on the pavement, and the sound e
