Winnie immediately spotted the car and gasped in excitement, "Zayn, look, isn't that a Cullinan? Isn't this car worth over ten million dollars?" Zayn noticed the car too, a hint of envy in his eyes. "With some custom options, yeah, it easily exceeds ten million! A car like that is for the truly wealthy, the cream of the crop!" Winnie's eyes sparkled with awe as she gazed at the car, her face showing nothing but admiration. "I wonder which rich heir from Lormford City this belongs to. If only Zara's boyfriend were this wealthy." As Winnie and Zayn stared at the Rolls-Royce Cullinan with envy, the car, exuding an intimidating air, slowly approached and began to slow down. Winnie was taken aback. "Could the owner of this car be here for dinner too?"The Rolls-Royce stopped right in front of Timothy's family. All eyes turned toward them as the car door swung open, and a man stepped out from the driver's seat. Under everyone's stunned gaze, he respectfully bowed to Timothy and said
Susan suddenly asked, "So why is Timothy here? Is he having a meal too?"Jason let out a cold laugh. "I just asked around. A waiter told me that someone had invited Timothy's whole family out for a meal. It was Flynn Cooper from the Cooper Group. "Flynn's girlfriend's parents are old comrades with Timothy's parents. Apparently, Timothy's parents are hoping to use those connections to help Timothy find a decent job! They're only getting this because of those old ties. Otherwise, they're nothing."Susan bit her lip, a flash of understanding crossing her eyes. "So that's how it is…"Jason chuckled and said, "Exactly, so stop overthinking it, Susan. What good is Timothy anyway? He's broke and has no skills, definitely not good enough for you. Besides, you haven't liked him for a long time. You're my woman now. We should get engaged and married as soon as possible."Susan forced a smile. "Got it, Jason."As she said those words, she felt a hollow emptiness inside. Why was it that all
On the other end of the line, Zack broke out in a cold sweat and repeated his message.Timothy was silent for a few seconds before nodding. "Alright, I got it. Keep an eye on things. I'll take care of this myself later.""Yes, Chief," Zack replied respectfully before hanging up, his expression darkening with anger."How dare they threaten the Chief's woman? Blackgeld must have a death wish."Timothy sat in the car with his eyes slightly closed as if he were resting, but his mind was racing.Zack had just informed him that Blackgeld, angry over the deaths of the two men who had previously tried to kill Mavis, had put out word in Lormford City's underground scene that they intended to deal with her as revenge.A cold smirk tugged at the corner of Timothy's mouth. "Blackgeld, you've got some nerve. I wasn't even planning to come after you, but you've made yourself my target. Tonight, you'll pay the price!" he thought to himself.In the back seat, Cora asked with concern, "Timothy,
Timothy chuckled. "Just trust me, you silly goose. Money isn't an issue for me!"Joseph and Cora exchanged a look and let out a resigned smile. They didn't want Timothy to waste his money, but they also didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm.After parking the car, Timothy supported Tiana as he led his parents into the International Finance Square. The mall was bustling with people, and as the largest, most luxurious shopping center in Lormford City, it drew a well-heeled crowd. Most of the people there were wealthy, dressed in expensive clothes from head to toe.As soon as they reached the entrance, people began to notice them. Seeing Joseph and Cora's worn-out coats, patched-up pants, and tattered shoes, a few onlookers frowned and quickly moved aside, eager to distance themselves.Tiana bit her lip and clutched the hem of her shirt tightly. Walking through this upscale space made her feel extremely out of place. She kept her head down, avoiding eye contact with anyone. She felt
The group of young women was dressed very exquisitely. Their refined appearance made it clear they came from money, and they carried themselves with an air of arrogance. As the woman in sunglasses started making a scene, a crowd began to gather, curious to watch the drama unfold. Many glanced at Timothy's family, frowning at their shabby attire with clear disdain, though a few people showed a glimmer of pity in their eyes.The woman in sunglasses looked at Timothy with open disgust, even holding her nose as she stared at them, her face twisted in disdain. Upon seeing her expression, Timothy's face darkened, and he glared at her coldly. "You were the ones who started with the insults. I suggest you watch your mouth before you get yourself into trouble," he said sternly.The woman in sunglasses laughed. She crossed her arms and smirked at Timothy. "Oh, so this bumpkin thinks he can threaten us? Do you even know who we are? I'll say whatever I want. What are you gonna do about it?
Timothy frowned and asked, "Do you really think having a little bit of money makes you all that?""Yeah, it sure does! Compared to you country bumpkins, I'm definitely better. What, does that bother you? It feels a bit unfair, huh? Well, tough luck. I've got more money, so I get to call you poor. What are you going to do about it?"The woman rolled her eyes, adjusted her sunglasses, and continued, "If you were richer or more capable than me, I'd even lick your shoes. But you're not. You're just not worth it!"Timothy felt his anger rising, especially seeing her smug face. His hands itched to retaliate, but with so many people watching, he knew that hitting her would only make him look bad. It would also bring him down. With that in mind, he let out a sneer. "Fine, you want to talk about money? Alright then, let's see who's got more. Get ready to start licking my shoes."He turned and pulled Tiana toward the Chanel store. Glancing back at his parents, he said, "Mom, Dad, come on i
Inside the store, Timothy led Tiana down a row of clothes.As she gazed at the dazzling array of clothes, Tiana's little face was filled with shock. All she could think was, "Oh my God, there are clothes this beautiful in the world!" They were completely different from what she saw at the local wholesale store. These were in a league of their own.Timothy smiled and said, "Tiana, if you see anything you like, just tell me. I'll buy it for you."Tiana opened her mouth to reply but suddenly caught sight of the price tag on a dress, and her face went pale in an instant. She quickly shook her head and said, "No, I don't like these clothes. Let's just go outside."Timothy could tell that she thought the prices were too high. Without saying much, he picked up a dress and held it out to her, smiling. "What do you think of this one?"Tiana's eyes lit up as she looked at the dress, filled with wonder. But when she saw the price tag, she felt dizzy. 80 thousand dollars for just one dress?
Dorothy Zahn, the sales assistant, nodded, "Yes, and what about it?""Perfect!" Timothy said. Turning to Tiana, he said, "Tiana, take your time looking at the clothes. If you find something you like, we'll buy it. We can even buy out the entire store if we want!"With a mocking smile, Dorothy replied, "Perhaps you should tone it down a bit. It's a bit ridiculous."Cecilia chimed in dismissively, "Just ignore these two. They're just looking for trouble. I've seen too many people like them! Do they really think they can buy out this place? They must not be afraid of the consequences of bluffing."Outside, many people had overheard Timothy's comment, and laughter erupted from the crowd. To them, he was just a clueless nobody trying to show off. They began to point and whisper about him.Dorothy smirked and said, "If you're so capable, why don't you buy something? Forget buying out the store. If you can just afford a few items, I'll do anything you want."Timothy nodded, "Sure, I do
