The man’s eyes widened. “So you’re the no-good lout who managed to marry the school idol! Honey, didn't you say that he was so poor that he even had to rent his wedding suit?”"That's right. He's a pauper. He didn't even pay a single cent for his wedding! Evelyn was so mad… I don’t get it. How do you have the nerve to go to a car dealership?"Now that they had attracted the other saleswomen’s attention, Mindy even exaggerated Elio's past, desperate to declare his financial status to all who would listen.Her boyfriend sneered. "He's probably just here to take a few photos and post them on his social media. Pretenders like him are everywhere these days!” The saleswomen whispered among themselves, "Isn't that it? I could tell from his clothes that he’s flat broke!”"So he's leeching off his wife, huh? How embarrassing…"Just then, another young saleswoman came downstairs with a file of documents. She could sense the tension in the air, so she hurriedly approached the arguing custo
The busty saleswoman glanced at Elio's watch curiously. Her face instantly turned pale, and her attitude made a sudden turn. Her tone was much more polite as she asked, "What sort of car are you looking for, sir?”"I’m looking for a Lambo… You know what? Forget it. None of you are worthy of serving me. I only want her," Elio said calmly, pointing at the newbie salesgirl.The other saleswomen watching from a distance were feeling a little puzzled. What was with their colleague’s sudden shift in demeanor? When they heard him mention a “Lambo”, though, they immediately had a sinking feeling. They rushed toward Elio, desperate to not miss out.Only the salesgirl looked confused. Elio turned to her and said, "Why don't you show me what you have?" She fidgeted uneasily. "I'm sorry, but what exactly is a Lambo?"The other saleswomen were petrified. They knew that Sunny was new, but how could she be so clueless?!"If you don’t even know that, Sunny, you should get off the showroom floor
The sports car cost nearly almost a million dollars. When Elio took out his bank card and swiped it without issue, everyone was shocked. He really was rich!The couple had turned green in the gills. Elio smirked at them. "Did you see that? I bought the most expensive Lamborghini they had."He raised his wrist and continued, "Also… this watch costs more than three hundred thousand dollars, not three hundred. It’s a Richard Miller, which you might not have heard of. So much for your expensive tastes, huh?”Mindy and her boyfriend were now beet red. The saleswomen flushed too when they remembered how they had ridiculed Elio before this. How could they underestimate him like that?! In the end, Sunny was the only one to benefit from this generous customer.Mindy's arrogance had instantly deflated, but she quickly gathered her thoughts and said, "Money isn’t everything, you know! Who even knows where you got this money from?"The busty saleswoman was jealous to see Sunny land that fat c
After Elio bought that Lamborghini like it was nothing, he instantly became the star of the store. The other saleswomen were constantly keeping an eye on him, regretting their mistaken judgment. He was tall, young, and handsome. Despite being filthy rich, he dressed in cheap clothes and kept a low profile. Someone had already searched his watch online and discovered that it cost more than three hundred thousand dollars. Add that to the million-dollar car he just bought, and they were all smitten with him!Some of them even tried to catch his eye with their looks, but Elio ignored them all. None of them could compare to his wife, Evelyn!When the saleswomen heard that Elio wanted to buy three more luxury cars, they were taken aback. They had seen many rich customers in their time, but this was the first time they had seen something like this. How could he buy cars like they were toys?"Amazing, he has more money than he can spend! He can buy whatever he wants. It’s so exhilarating!
Elio and Sunny took a picture in front of the Lamborghini together. The girl's eyes were twinkling as she smiled. Not only was she pretty, but she also emitted a faint natural fragrance that made Elio feel relaxed and somewhat confused. She smelled so good. Was she some sort of fairy in her past life?It was just a fleeting thought. Elio cast it out of his mind as he entered the Lamborghini. Everything was very familiar to him. After starting the engine, he stepped on the accelerator and the car roared out like a wild horse that had escaped its reins.Behind him was the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan, Porsche Cayenne, BMW X5, and Land Cruiser. They formed a small convoy and sped along the road.Half an hour later, the convoy arrived at the underground parking lot of a building in the west side of the city. This building was thirty-three stories high, and it was also the Auton family's property. It used to sit empty, but now it was Elio's base for his new business. It had also been rena
The call ended. Yvonne was obviously angry at Elio, and she seemed to be giving him a taste of his own medicine. After all, Elio had scolded her at the antique warehouse.Though she did not hold it against him at that time, women always bore grudges. The more beautiful a woman was, the more petty she could be.‘Who dares to covet my wife?’ Elio thought with a frown. ‘I can't let my guard down. As long as we're not divorced yet, Evelyn is mine!’He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. There were still eighteen minutes before Evelyn got off work. Elio quickly got up and went out of his office. He took the special elevator to the underground parking lot and got into the new Lamborghini.Another three minutes had passed. There were still fifteen minutes left, and this place was not close to Skybound Advertising. He could only try his best to rush over.Vrooom!The Lamborghini roared out of the underground parking lot and sped down the street, attracting the attention of many ped
Evelyn glanced at the roses and felt a wave of anger. She felt that Draco had gone overboard this time, and it was repulsive. He had made such a huge scene right in front of her company! If word got out about this farce, her reputation would be in pieces!"What are you trying to do? I'm a married woman. It's impossible between us. Can you stop messing around already? You'll make a fool of yourself."Even though Evelyn was harsh to him, Draco did not care. "I know you married that useless lout against your will. It's fine. I don't mind that you've been married before. Be mine, and I promise to make you happy. Look at the heart made of roses on the ground. They represent my burning love for you. I will love you forever, Evelyn!""Go for it, Master Wang!"There was an explosion of applause and enthusiastic cheers. Most of them were Draco's friends, here to be his wingmen and help him win Evelyn’s heart.Suddenly, a Lamborghini approached the crowd with a roar. Worse still, it did not
Everyone had heard of Evelyn's husband, that good-for-nothing lout. After all, their wedding made the news. Everyone knew that he had no cars, property, or savings to speak of. She was utterly wasted on him. “So it's him! He is pretty good-looking. It's just a shame he's so useless!”“What's with this car he's driving, though? Isn't it worth a few hundred thousand?”“Did you even have to ask? It's just as Master Wang said. He must have borrowed or rented it. He's trying to pretend even though he's worthless. Men like him are the worst.”Draco did not take Elio seriously at all. He was certain that Elio had borrowed the Lamborghini. His rival in love was a broke peasant, so he did not need to worry at all.He scoffed at Elio. "So what if she’s married? I’ll keep pursuing her. What are you gonna do about it? Hit me? Try touching me if you dare."If Elio was the man he had been before he married Evelyn, he would have slapped Draco by now. However, things were different now. He had
"What?" Charlie's anger boiled over, his face turning bright red as he yelled, "This is too much! I want to see your chairman! He needs to apologize, or he'll regret it when I trash this place!"Laird gave a cold snort, grabbed the ready walkie-talkie, and called out, "Security, get in here, quick! 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. He scrambled into his Audi and sped away.Afterward, General Manager Howe filled in the chairman on what had happened. Elio could not help but feel a rush of glee. 'Charlie, you think you can take me on? Look where that got you!' Elio
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. It was like a big secret. Clearly, that person liked staying out of the spotlight, pulling strings from behind the curtain.Who would have guessed that this amaz
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. If she was going to act all high and mighty, why would they want to hang out with he
