It was now five o'clock in the afternoon in the most upscale restaurant in Cloudsea City. There were only a few diners, and a blonde man was playing the luxurious grand piano in the center of the dining hall. The melodious music made for a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere.

The waiters were all wearing snow-white shirts and smart bow ties. Their service was meticulous and impeccable. Of course, the cost of dining here was also extremely high. Most ordinary people would never set foot here.

Elio and Yvonne sat facing each other by the window, savoring the fine dining dishes and sipping some red wine. This was the life!

Elio was dressed a bit too casually compared to the other guests in their fancy suits and dresses. His T-shirt had also gotten dirty when he grabbed the stone earlier, but there was still an unmistakable elegance in the way he ate right now.

His outfit aside, he had the aura of a blue-blooded noble. His mannerisms were definitely unlike that of a pretentious nouveau riche.

    After a while, Elio heard the sound of a notification coming from his pocket. He took out his dingy old phone and glanced at it. "I got the money." His phone was old and worn. It had been Evelyn's at first, then she had given it to her mother. It was only after the screen cracked that it wound up in Elio's hands. Yvonne was starting to think Elio was one of those hidden geniuses she read about in novels. Intrigued, she said with a smile, "Since you're already married, may I be your new best friend?""Sure, if you want," Elio replied with a laugh. After all, Yvonne was straightforward and sincere, a woman after his own heart. "Then don't just give your wife a gift. Give me one too! I don't care how much it costs. Today is my birthday, after all," Yvonne said with a smile."Are you for real? Is it really such a coincidence?" Elio was somewhat disbelieving."Of course it's for real. If you don't believe me, I'll invite you to my birthday party tonight," Yvonne said seriously."N

    After the two of them left the restaurant, Yvonne personally drove her Ferrari down the street. She was afraid to let Elio drive right now because his driving style was rather "exhilarating". She had just eaten, so she could not stomach such intense driving just yet.Traffic was relatively slow, so the Ferrari cruised along. Yvonne turned to Elio with a smile. "Hey, Elio, you don't have a job, do you? Why don't you become my secretary? The working hours are negotiable. You'll have a lot of freedom, and I'll give you a considerable salary. What do you think?"Many young rookies could only dream of becoming this beautiful young chairwoman's private secretary. The daily eye candy alone would be worth it, setting aside any other potential benefits.Elio shook his head and declined her offer. "Maybe not. I'm pretty busy.""Seriously?" Yvonne rolled her eyes at him. "What are you busy with? Getting scolded by your mother-in-law? She called you a lazy, good-for-nothing layabout. You shoul

    There was a whole row of watch shops, including brands like Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, and Patek Philippe. They drove straight up to the front of the Richard Miller specialty store. Just then, a Mercedes-Benz was driving away, leaving a parking space open for Yvonne.As soon as she stopped the car, Yvonne's phone rang. Elio said, "You should take the call first. I'll look around the store."Her best friend's number was on the phone screen, so Yvonne nodded. "Okay, go pick one first. I'll join you later."Elio got out of the car and walked into the shop. There were very few customers inside. After all, this brand was quite expensive and catered only to a certain crowd. Their usual clientele consisted of rich second-generation heirs.A man and a woman stood in front of the counter nearby. The balding middle-aged man wore a flowery T-shirt and a thick gold around his neck. He looked like the quintessential nouveau riche, perhaps even someone with some underworld connections

    Although the girl was just a young college student, she was not your Average Jane. How else would she have managed to land a sugar daddy at her age? She had pride and a temper to go with it, so she snapped, "Who the hell are you, bitch? This is none of your business. You have no right to raise your voice at me!"Her man was dumbfounded, though. He cried out in surprise, "It's you, Miss Sue…" He then spun around to scold his young girlfriend. "Shut your mouth, you hear me?"The girl was stunned. The old man usually doted on her, so she never expected him to side with that woman. Her face turned red with rage. "Are you kidding me? Who does she think she is? After I slept with you, too! Was it all for nothing? How could you take her side?"Yvonne harrumphed coldly. "Are you rich enough to have a sugar baby already, Roger? And now your little kitten is hissing at me! In that case, you don't have to send me gems anymore from now on. Our contract is over."As it turned out, Roger Tuck ow

    Yvonne glanced at the display briefly and pointed at one. "Let's start by trying on the most expensive one here.""Very well." The salesgirl put on a pair of white gloves and carefully took out the most expensive watch, putting it on Elio's wrist. She even explained the watch's features and selling points again.Elio liked it. The barrel-shaped watch was big, imposing, and stylish. It was filled with the latest technology and made of extremely lightweight material."Whoa, you look completely different when you wear it! You feel exactly like a rich young heir. We'll take this one. It suits you perfectly!" Yvonne said excitedly, almost as if she was choosing a watch for her boyfriend."This is the one!" Elio was about to hand over his bank card when Yvonne stopped him."What are you doing? We agreed that I would buy you this watch as a gift. Why? Are you looking down on me?" she huffed angrily."No, this watch is too expensive. It's almost four hundred thousand dollars. I appreciat

    In the Oceansky Hotel's parking lot, a security guard stood beside the electric scooter, patiently waiting for Elio. The general manager had expressly instructed him to keep an eye on the scooter. In addition, he had a message to pass on to Elio once the young man got back.After waiting until sundown, the guard finally saw Elio walking over in a hurry. He approached Elio respectfully, saying, "Mr. Cole and the other CEOs are waiting for you in the Imperial Suite, sir. They're hoping you can grace them with your presence.""Okay, I got it."Unable to refuse such a formal offer, Elio had no choice but to go into the hotel. A charming female manager was already waiting at the door. She promptly led him to the elevator.The manager was in her mid-twenties, with a beautiful face and a wonderful figure. She already knew that there was more to this young man than met the eye, so she tried to strike up a conversation with him. "I bet you're a huge VIP, Master Rinz. The people in the suite

    "What are you doing here, kid?" Elio asked.His brother-in-law was always threatening to beat Elio up just because he was bigger and taller. Elio only tolerated him for Evelyn's sake. Dylan was his wife's younger brother after all. Maybe the kid was young and insensible."I'm waiting for you." Dylan stood up and said darkly, "Come with me for a bit. I need to talk to you." He then walked east along the street.Something was off with the boy. Puzzled, Elio jumped onto his scooter and followed him to an open-air basketball court not far away.There was no one there. Dylan stopped under the street lamp and said angrily, "You idiot, get off your bike and get over here! It's all your fault for offending the old man. You even got me in trouble! I was supposed to join the family's company after high school, but you ruined everything! I have to beat you up at least once, or I'll never live it down."Elio frowned. He had never expected this. The boy's parents were not around right now, so

    "Do you want to die?" Elio roared, his gaze sharp. He spun around and kicked two of the thugs on their arms, sending the steel pipe flying out of their hands.Just then, a dark green Land Cruiser sped toward them before braking sharply with an ear-piercing shriek.Seven men in black jumped out of the car before it even came to a stop, with Felix in the lead. They lunged into the group like a pack of tigers, snatching the steel pipes from the thugs' hands.The thugs were all thrown to the ground, crying out in pain.James was scared out of his wits. His face was pale. These guys who had appeared out of nowhere were utterly ruthless! Only a fool would stay and fight when the odds were stacked against them. Gritting his teeth through the pain, James scrambled up from the ground and toward his car."Where do you think you're going?" Felix snorted and threw a steel pipe like a bullet. It struck the crook of James' leg."Argh…!" James collapsed, howling. "Elio, you bastard, how dare yo

    "What?" Charlie's anger boiled over, his face turning bright red as he yelled, "This is too much! I want to see your chairman!

We've got someone trying to wreck the place."In a flash, four security guards in black suits rushed into the room, grabbed Charlie, and marched him right out the door.The poor Jones family heir thought he could throw his weight around, but instead, he got a beating from the guards and ended up tossed outside, his suit torn and his face a mess of bruises.He tried to get up, wanting to shout insults, but the angry stares from the guards scared him silent.

    That night, the news about the Aerin Group taking on the shanty town makeover project was all over the Cloudsea TV show. It shook up the whole business world in the city. Bosses from real estate and construction companies were all on the phone, trying to get the scoop.The Aerin Group was pretty new and not well-known in Cloudsea. Now, all of a sudden, it was the talk of the town. The big project that everyone wanted had somehow ended up with them, and it was really weird.The project to fix up the old town was massive, and lots of companies wanted to work on it. If they got even a piece of the job, they would be rolling in dough. So, they all rushed to make connections, hoping to meet with the big boss of Evamor Group to talk business.What surprised all the big shots was that nobody knew a thing about the boss of Evamor.

    York nodded non-stop, apologizing. "Got it. Please forgive me. I'm really sorry."With the bill canceled, Elio felt they had done enough. "Let's call it even. Time to go."They walked out, heads high, leaving the staff and the hostesses in awe. York sat on the couch, face grim, and gulped down the fake Louis XIII. It was liquor from some other brand, cleverly resealed to look like the fancy stuff. It tasted pretty good, and hardly anyone could tell it was not the real deal. However, somehow, that kid figured it out. Who was he, anyway?York was fuming. Ever since his shop opened, he had sold bottle after bottle of this top-notch liquor to all sorts of important people, and no one had ever called him out. Now, some nobody had caught him."That little troublemaker, causing a scene in my shop," he grumbled. "Just you wait. I'll take care of you."As the boss was getting worked up and ready to get even, one of the girls spoke up, "That Mr. Rinz seems pretty impressive. I heard he even

    York asked with a friendly smile, "I don't think I've met this young man before. Can someone introduce him?"Yvonne replied with a grin, "This is Mr. Rinz, a dear friend of ours. He's the one who wanted to meet you."York did not know Elio's story, and he looked like an average guy. However, he had ordered three bottles of the fancy Louis XIII cognac and seemed to be friends with some pretty important people, including a famous TV beauty. York could not help but be impressed."Really? I'm super honored and happy to meet you, Mr. Rinz. Hope you'll come to hang out with us more," York said with a big smile. He's the kind of guy who knew just what to say and was ready to shake hands, showing lots of respect. However, Elio did not reach out his hand at all, which made York's smile disappear, and he felt really annoyed inside.Elio just frowned and said, "I think once is enough for this place." Yvonne and the others exchanged puzzled looks. They had no clue why Elio was upset and wh

    "You think you can hit me and get away with it? I could ruin your family in an instant. Now, get out of here, do you hear me?" Tanner yelled at her."You..." Fear flickered in May's eyes. She was too scared to argue, worried about what he might do to her.Jenny let out a sigh, went over to help her friend up, and whispered, "Let's just go. We can't stand up to him. We've just got to deal with this bad luck."May knew the truth. She and Jenny might come from money, but they were nothing compared to Tanner's powerful family. What could she do? If she pushed him too far, she was afraid he might make her disappear for good.May had no choice but to follow her best friend, looking all messy and upset. She did not think she would end up like that, feeling so angry. She was mad at Tanner for messing with her feelings and even madder at Elio, thinking he had a big part in her troubles.The room was super quiet; no one wanted to talk. Tanner was in a bad mood—he got tricked by someone not

    As Evelyn's figure vanished from view, May frowned deeply and sneered, "She's so hopeless. She can't even handle her husband. Being a woman like that is just embarrassing.""Come on, don't be so hard on her," Jenny said. "Evelyn's got guts. She was ready to divorce Elio to stand up for what's right. Friends like her are rare.""Hmph, what good does that do? She still didn't get the stuff back. I really thought she could handle that jerk, but it was a waste," May said, not hiding her scorn."May, just a heads-up," Jenny lowered her voice, "the divorce might be good for Evelyn, but it puts you at risk. I've noticed Tanner looking her way a lot. Be careful."May felt a chill, sensing trouble, but she pushed back, "No way. Tanner told me he only loves me. You're just worrying too much."Jenny could tell what her best friend was thinking but kept it to herself. "Okay, let's just say I didn't mention anything. Let's head back."In the private room, Tanner was eager to hear the news. Wh

    Jenny and May were shocked, staring at each other and not knowing what to do.The couple was at a breaking point. May felt a rush of panic. Did that mean she would never get back the fancy watch and the big Benz? She quickly pulled on Evelyn's arm, trying to tell her friend not to say things she could not take back. However, it was too late."That's for the best," Evelyn snapped. "From now on, we're nothing to each other.""Let's just hope we're both happy from here on out," Elio said, trying to sound indifferent. However, inside, it felt like a thousand needles were poking his heart.Evelyn did not look back. She turned and walked away fast, a cold air swirling around her.Jenny and May ran after her, calling out, "Evelyn, wait up!""Don't leave, wait for us!"Evelyn felt a heavy sadness. They had been married for three years, together every day. To say she felt nothing would be a lie. Even though she never really respected Elio, going their separate ways was still hard to take

    The Seven Fairies Team was a tough bunch, and except for Helen, each one had fought their way to success in the cutthroat world of business. They were not about to let anyone push them around.With a loud "smack," Jenny's cheek stung from a fierce slap. She let out a sharp cry and glared at Yvonne. "Ouch! How dare you hit me?""You insult us, and you think a slap is too much?" Yvonne spat back, her teeth clenched in anger.May was not lucky, either. She, too, got slapped, leaving a bright red mark on her face. Lydia, who did it, shouted at her, "Who are you calling names, huh?"Jenny and May were no pushovers, but now, with their cheeks burning from the slaps and surrounded by a group of fierce-looking girls, they were boiling with rage inside. Yet, they did not dare to strike back, appearing utterly defeated and powerless.It was not the super-tough opponents they needed to worry about. It was the teammates who messed everything up!Evelyn had been sure she could get back those

    The women finally got it—the beautiful woman was Elio's wife. Yarely and the others stood up for a better look.A bunch of girls with eyes as wide as saucers were watching everything unfold, each one silently agreeing that Evelyn was the picture of perfection. It was no surprise that Master Rinz could keep his cool, even with all those stunning girls around him.Evelyn scanned the room, and it hit her—they were all gorgeous girls, and Elio was the only boy. It was just like the old saying: he was the lone rooster in the henhouse.When Yvonne tried to be friendly, Evelyn was not having any of it. She huffed, "Forget it. I just need to talk to Elio about something private. I'll be out of your hair in no time."That made Evelyn seem super stuck-up and hard to talk to. Yarely and the others felt put off, so they just sat back down on the couch.They were all tough cookies, top dogs in their own right.
