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
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
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
