The people in the corridor were all about the same age, so some of them knew each other. For example, Helen and Jenny were high school classmates. Later on, they went on different paths in their lives and gradually lost contact.However, they had already added each other on Instagram, so they could see each other's posts from time to time.Jenny looked the same as she did in school, so Helen recognized her at a glance. A look of displeasure flashed across her eyes. "Jenny, can you not say that about Elio? He may have married into his wife’s family, but he still has his dignity.""Helen…?" Jenny had not expected to meet her celebrity former classmate here. "Why are you with this useless trash?""Who are you calling trash, bitch? Your words are as ugly as your face. Are you looking for a beating?" Yvonne's face was cold. Although she was not too familiar with Jenny, she knew who she was.Jenny glanced at her angrily. She wanted to punch Yvonne in the face, but when she recognized th
Tanner and Bennet, along with the other guys, had stars in their eyes as if they had just spotted the most amazing treasure. Their hearts couldn't help but beat faster.Everyone in Cloudsea knew about Yarely. They called her Ms. Abbott. She was not just drop-dead gorgeous; she could do anything. She was that powerful.All the rich and fancy people in Cloudsea were proud to be members of the Orchid Harmony Club. They flocked to it, hoping to be seen as classy and cultured. They all wished they could win over that one-of-a-kind beauty, but no one ever did.Tanner's dad was super rich and a club member too. He had dined there and seen the breathtaking club owner. She made such an impression on him, but he never got the chance to get to know her, which he always felt bummed about.Now, running into her like that, Tanner was thrilled. Grinning from ear to ear, he said, "Oh, it's Ms. Abbott! It's really no big deal, just friends having a laugh."He was playing dumb on purpose, scared th
The Seven Fairies Team could tell that something was off. They thought the woman was pretty nasty, obviously trying to pick a fight with Elio, and she was not making any sense.Yarely moved quickly, her elegant figure in a traditional dress blocking Jenny's way. She reached out with her pale, delicate arm and gave Jenny a shove.She might have looked graceful, but Yarely was a martial artist with impressive skills.The shove was so strong that Jenny could not stay on her feet. She yelped, stumbled backward, and almost fell over."Are you trying to bully me? Don't think you're so great just because you're powerful. I'm not easy to push around. Bennet, what are you waiting for? Help me!" Jenny yelled, fuming.Bennet was really close to Jenny, like best friends, but he was hesitant to cross Ms. Abbott from the Orchid Harmony Club. All he could do was try to calm Jenny down. "Don't worry, Ms. Abbott didn't mean any harm. Let's just talk it out."Jenny's phone was already unlocked, an
With everyone watching, Tanner had no choice but to follow them into the private room. Ms. Abbott from Orchid Harmony Club was there, and if Tanner did not pay up after losing, he would get a bad reputation in the Cloudsea business world, and it would be tough for him to get by.Cherish pulled out paper and a pen from her bag and quickly put together an agreement that said that the watch and the car were being given to Elio voluntarily by Tanner to settle debts, and he had to help with the ownership transfer or pay for any losses.Being a top lawyer, Cherish made sure the agreement was airtight. Tanner read it, had no objections, and just signed his name, though he was seething inside and felt like stabbing that guy.Elio signed too, and there were witnesses. Yarely and some other girls signed as well, showing they really cared about what was happening to Elio.That just made Tanner burn with jealousy even more, and he could not figure out why such a loser was so popular with the l
Soon after, a team wheeled carts into the room, bringing in fancy liquor and a variety of snacks.There were hostesses in skimpy outfits and young servers. The group of men and women lined up to perform a simple ceremony to open the bottles. The customer had ordered such pricey drinks, so they were going to get the best service.The crowd welcomed Elio with a cheer: "Welcome to the Golden Age KTV, our most honored guest! We hope everything goes your way, that you find wealth at every turn, and that all your dreams come true!"One of the prettiest girls, dressed in a flowing dress that hinted at her figure, was the first to grab a snowy towel. She pulled a bottle of champagne from the ice bucket and, with a graceful flourish, used a saber to pop it open. The scent of the bubbly filled the air as the cork made a soft sound.Music floated through the room, and the other girls began to dance. They twirled and swayed so beautifully it was beyond words.The whole scene was eye-catching
May's face turned dark after being yelled at by her boyfriend, but she did not dare to talk back. Angrily, she said, "Elio, that beast. He really had the nerve to take them. I'm going to call Evelyn right now and tell her to keep her man in line." Tanner had an idea. Evelyn was a super beauty too. 'Elio, you just wait. I'll win over your wife.' He nodded, "That's a plan. Let her come over, and we'll see what to do."May knew she could not waste a second. She grabbed her phone and quickly told Evelyn that Elio was in trouble and she needed to come right away before hanging up.Evelyn was staying late at work when her best friend's call came in. Her face turned icy with anger. She could not help but wonder why she had married such a troublesome man who was always getting into messes.However, he was her husband, and she could not just ignore him!In just over twenty minutes, Evelyn pulled up to the KTV and walked into the private room where May was waiting. Even in a simple white s
Knowing Evelyn's kind heart after years of friendship, May pulled her aside with a worried look. "Evelyn, you're the only one who can help me. If you don't, Tanner is going to break up with me. Could you please get Elio to give back the watch and car keys?"Best friends were like sisters, and faced with such a plea, Evelyn softened. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to him and do my best to get your things back.""Awesome!" May beamed with excitement and said, "You're the best. Elio's in the room next door. Let's go see him. He listens to you like a puppy, so it's sure to work out."Evelyn knew the harsh words had a point. Elio really did act lowly around her, like he did not deserve her and always doing whatever she asked.Her mom and the whole family never treated Elio like he mattered, looking down on him for so long that it just became the way things were.So Evelyn did not think there was anything wrong with what her best friend said. However, she forgot: Elio was her guy
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. If she was going to act all high and mighty, why would they want to hang out with he
