James was furious when Elio ruined his expensive suit. These rich young heirs were usually spoiled and domineering, and he was no exception. He cursed, his expression livid as he swung his fist at Elio's face, "You motherf—"

However, before James' hand could even make contact, Elio let out a scream and fell back, knocking over the contents of the neighboring table. He quickly recovered before any of the food landed on him, but the guests who had been mocking him were not as lucky. They were completely covered in food scraps and spilled water.

"What the hell?! These clothes are brand new!"

"Ahh, I shouldn't have come today. I'm all filthy now…"

The guests cursed and wailed, making a complete mess of the wedding banquet.

Elio's in-laws all leaped to their feet, stunned. Their useless son-in-law had ruined the wedding!

Lana’s face turned red. "He's a curse, I tell you, a curse! Nothing good ever happens when he's involved. We shouldn't have let him come here and embarrass himself!"

Evelyn’s face was cold. She could tell that Elio had done everything on purpose. Hmph, he was as mean as he was incompetent. Her cousin's wedding was utterly ruined now, and she would inevitably become a laughingstock in the future. However, Evelyn was not angry. Instead, she felt a hint of schadenfreude.

James grabbed a chair. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked just about ready to fight Elio to the death. However, his relatives held him back while the other guests backed away, shouting in fear. The hotel hall was as noisy as a market.

Sienna stomped her feet in anger and screamed uncontrollably, "Gaaah! You good-for-nothing lout, you started this scene on purpose! I'll never forgive you! Charlie, Dad, Grandpa… Come here and punish him!"

Sienna's father, Harry Jones, was the eldest son of the family and the general manager of the family business. He was the patriarch's favorite. As for Sienna's eldest brother, Charlie, he was the eldest grandson of the family and carried high expectations on his shoulders. In other words, Sienna's branch carried a lot of weight in the extended family.

Charlie was the first to rush to the scene, looking utterly livid. "What the hell are you doing, Elio?! Know your place!"

Elio feigned innocence, pouting. "But I didn't do anything. Can't you see that he's threatening to throw a chair at me, Charlie? Why are you blaming me instead?"

"Shut up! You don't get to call my name…" Charlie really wanted to beat the crap out of the guy himself. How dare that piece of trash cause so much trouble at his sister's wedding!

"Then what should I call you? Carlo? Kelly?" Elio deliberately rambled on. He was not afraid of Charlie. Their whole family was an ant he could easily crush under his foot!

The other members of the family were stunned. Had Elio finally lost his marbles? How could he mock the next-generation heir like that? He was doomed now.

Everyone else was just as surprised. They never expected that useless son-in-law to fight back like that. Did he have a death wish?

However, someone to their left burst out laughing at the wrong time. The Joneses glared at them until they saw who it was. She was a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties, with round eyes and red lips. Her sexy figure was accentuated by her skin-tight dress. She had curves in all the right places, and her beauty was breathtaking.

The Joneses immediately deflated when they saw it was her.

Her name was Yvonne Sue, and she was another one of Cloudsea's most beautiful women. She came from a wealthy family and had her own company under her name. Although she was young, she was very capable. As such, she was known as the Flaming Rose.

Meanwhile, Evelyn was known as the Icy Lily!

The two women had completely different personalities and deeply disliked each other.

Charlie was in his thirties, with a tall and imposing figure. Right now, though, he was completely exasperated. If not for his status and pride, he would have pinned Elio to the ground and beaten him up by now. He gritted his teeth and said, "You idiot, just you wait and see! I'll make you pay for what you've done."

    Elio said sarcastically, "Is that so? Ooh, I'm so scared.""How dare you!" There was a furious roar.

Although Old Master Jones was over seventy years old, he was still physically and mentally sturdy.Old Master Jones was already furious from embarrassment. After all, this was a day to celebrate his daughter Sienna's marrying into the illustrious Sampson family. He was hoping to use the Sampsons to boost the Joneses' status in the city.

    A pin-drop silence fell across the entire hall!Everyone was surprised. They could tell that Evelyn and her family were fed up with Elio, so they thought the divorce was a foregone conclusion. Evelyn could have used this opportunity to get rid of him. Once she was single and available again, she would be able to find any man she wanted, given her qualifications. Why would she give up the chance?Yvonne's red lips curled into a cold smile. 'She's a proud woman,' Yvonne thought to herself. 'She won't lower her head that easily. I'm impressed. Still, is your husband really as useless as everyone says? I don't think so. Perhaps your entire family has misjudged him. Ha, what a pity!'Meanwhile, Elio's fists relaxed. Whatever her motive, it was enough that Evelyn did not abandon him in public. He made an oath to himself, secretly swearing, 'As long as you don't leave me, I won't abandon you!'Evelyn was proud, but she was also filled with resentment.Back then, it was her family who had

    To his surprise, Shaun ignored him and made a beeline for Elio. He even ignored everyone else. After all, he was also a member of the Auton Group's Featherborne Society. He owed everything he had today to the Auton Group's support. "Master…" Shaun said excitedly, stunning everyone else. Who was he addressing? "Master who?"? Who was that? The only one there was that useless son-in-law, Elio.Elio had also recognized Shaun. They had met in the conference room back then during his mother's introduction. Shaun had even spoken to him, but he did not want to reveal his identity just yet. That was why Elio pretended to be surprised, saying, "Who are you calling Master, old man? This isn't some period drama. Are you alright in the head?"Most people knew Shaun. He was rich, and he had connections in both the over- and underworld of the city. No one could afford to offend him, be it the Sampsons or the Joneses. How stupid could Elio be to insult him like that?Shaun was smart, though, an

    In order to win favor with the master, Shaun did not go easy on the Joneses and Sampsons at all. Compared to Elio, those two families were nothing. At the same time, Shaun thought that Old Master Jones was a blind fool. He had the biggest gold mine right there in his backyard, yet he was shamelessly currying favor with the Sampsons. If he really wanted his family to flourish, the old man should just treat his grandson-in-law better. If he was a bit nicer to Elio, the Joneses could easily surpass the Sampsons in status.As Old Master Jones left, Elio mocked him inwardly. Who did that old fart think he was? His wife was still paralyzed in bed, but he had already slept with his pretty young secretary. He was even beefing himself up with Viagra every day, as if he wanted to die by "overwork".On the surface, though, Elio put on a look of admiration. "Wow… Grandpa is still so healthy and active! He could walk so quickly even without his cane. It's honestly impressive. Those supplements

    "I hear you." Elio nodded instantly. He could disobey everyone else, but he had to obey his wife, so he left the hall with his in-laws.Many guests left once the commotion was over.After the master was gone, Shaun could not be bothered to argue with the Sampsons anymore After all, they were on decent terms in the past, and he had even shared a few drinks with Joachim. They were all in the same upper circle here in Cloudsea, after all.On account of their past friendship, Shaun felt that he should give Joachim a friendly reminder. "Mr. Sampson, your son's temper is a little out of control. Young people should not go around making enemies so easily. He should make friends, not foes. Try to keep that in mind."Joachim did not appreciate the friendly advice. Instead, he felt that Shaun was mocking him, so he said stiffly, "No need to worry about my son, Mr. Cole. It’s normal for youngsters to have a bit of a temper. Whoever dares to touch my son will live to regret it. I'll pay you ev

    "You're ruthless…" Elio sighed helplessly. "I'm already in such a sorry state. Can you stop rubbing salt in my wounds?"Yvonne giggled, her body trembling in a way that was insanely tantalizing."Don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to insult you. I just can't bear to see you so depressed. How about you go for a drive with me? Maybe you'll feel better."She patted her car smugly. She knew she was a winner in life for driving a sports car at such a young age. She was worlds away from Elio in his cheap second-hand clothes. Her very presence should be nothing short of psychological torture to him.Although he did not know Yvonne's intentions, Elio approached the car anyway. The Ferrari held all of his attention right now.Before he turned fifteen, Elio had owned countless sports cars. He had Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, and so on. He had practically every limited edition car from around the world, and he had any Ferrari he could want. Now that his family's restrictions had finally been

    That punk really knew how to brag. Yvonne huffed, "No, I wouldn't believe you. Let's see how well you drive, you braggart.""Where are we going?""Lush Tower on Rainbow Avenue, Metalworks District. Heard of it?"Elio nodded, fastened his seatbelt, and started the engine. The Ferrari roared, and the car trembled slightly. His fingers skillfully moved the right gear changer, and the car suddenly shot forward."Ahhh! Be careful, we're going to crash!" Yvonne screamed. How could she have believed his tall tales?! Why was he driving so fast?! Did he want to die?Just as they were about to hit a Cadillac in the opposite lane, Elio suddenly turned the steering wheel. The Ferrari spun around, almost hitting the bumper of the other car. The driver inside was dumbfounded and broke out in a cold sweat.The red Ferrari roared down the road. Yvonne clapped her hand to her chest, feeling as if her heart would leap out of her ribcage. Now, though, she believed him. Elio must have driven a sport

    The red Ferrari sped through the streets like a dazzling dancing flame.It had been a long time since he had driven a sports car. The speed and power at his fingertips scratched a nostalgic itch for Elio. Just then, however, his phone rang at precisely the wrong time. He held the steering wheel with one hand and picked up his phone to take a look at the screen. The caller was his wife.In a moment of desperation, Elio slammed on the brakes. The Ferrari did a beautiful drift and stopped at the side of the road.It was so abrupt that Yvonne screamed. "What are you doing? Do you want to die?""Shh, it's my wife. Sorry about that," Elio said guiltily before jumping out of the car to answer the call. "Evelyn, is something the matter?"At that time, Evelyn had already returned home. Her mother was in the bathroom, taking a shower. Evelyn now knew that Elio had a stubborn streak, but no matter what, he was still her husband. She was worried that Elio would be upset after taking that scol

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.

    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.
