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
Dorothy's eyes widened in disbelief, and her face was a mask of shock.The number displayed on the terminal was a staggering nine digits. They were both completely stunned as nine digits were equivalent to hundreds of millions.How many people in Lormford City could casually carry a card with over a hundred million in balance?This wasn't just an asset. It was liquid cash! Even a millionaire might only have a few million in cash flow on hand.Cecilia looked at Timothy, her expression shifting from disbelief to panic as she struggled to catch her breath.Timothy stared back at her and Dorothy, his voice calm but chilling, "Is the money enough?"His words felt like a thunderclap, making both of them tremble.Dorothy was so overwhelmed it felt like a mountain was pressing down on her heart. Her face drained of color as she looked at Timothy, a mix of shock and fear in her eyes.Who was this seemingly destitute man? Who had she offended? She knew that someone like him could easily
"Are you sure?" Cecilia asked. "I should warn you in advance that my brother is involved with Blackgeld. Show me some respect, and let's just be friends today. If you don't—""Oh?" Timothy suddenly crouched down, grabbing Cecilia's chin. With a big, white-toothed grin, he looked at her with a smile, "Are you threatening me?"Cecilia clenched her teeth and said each word slowly, "I'm just advising you. Have some mercy for others. Don't push people too far.""Alright!" Timothy released her chin and stood up straight.A smug smile spread across Cecilia's face. "I guess you know Blackgeld too."It appeared that her godbrother really was useful. He had actually intimidated Timothy.However, before her smile could fade, a sudden force struck her. Timothy yanked her hair hard and pressed her head down.Cecilia screamed in pain as her scalp felt like it was going to rip apart, and her open mouth met Timothy's shoe in a very intimate encounter."Lick it clean!"Timothy's grip was incre
Xandra Quimby, the young woman in uniform, stomped her foot, fighting through her embarrassment. "I asked if I could get your number!"Timothy was momentarily confused. "I just humiliated your friend today. Instead of supporting her, you want my number?"Xandra bit her lip and huffed, "She brought it on herself. I warned her that you might be purposely keeping a low profile, but she didn't believe me. She only has herself to blame."Hearing this, Timothy became intrigued. With a smile, he asked, "How did you figure that out?""Just a gut feeling!" After saying that, Xandra pouted and looked at him expectantly. "Come on, it's just a number! I promise not to bother you. I just want your number."Timothy shook his head. "Sorry, I'm not interested."With that, he turned away, leading Tiana and his parents out of the store.Xandra stood there in shock for a moment, clenching her fists. How dare he reject her? After all, she had countless admirers at school. It was absurd that someone
Leon slammed his palm on the poker table, leaping to his feet as he shouted, "What the hell? How can a person like that be in Lormford City? Tell me his name and where he is! Anyone who dares to mess with my woman will end up as minced meat!"Cecilia, looking pitiful, said, "I'll come find you. We need to talk this through."Leon's eyes darted as he replied, "Sure thing, babe. Come to the same hotel. I've been missing you. It's been a while since we had some fun."Cecilia felt her face flush and quickly glanced at her friends, worried they might overhear her. She hastily hung up the phone.Once the call ended, a sinister smile spread across Cecilia's swollen face."Leon is determined to turn that guy into mush today. I have to go find him, but I'll catch up with you all later."Her friends exchanged glances, and Xandra bit her lip. "Cecilia, I really think you should drop it. That guy might really just be laying low. It's probably best to let it go."Cecilia's expression soured
Susan bit her lip, and a complicated expression appeared on her face. Since she and Timothy had been in a relationship in the past, meeting again at this moment was somewhat awkward. After a brief silence, Susan bit her lip again and forced a smile at Timothy. "We meet again. Are you shopping at the mall too? What a coincidence."Timothy shrugged. "It's not a pleasant coincidence, though. After all, someone here clearly doesn't welcome my presence."Without a doubt, he was referring to Jason. Jason's expression soured in response. He glared at Timothy and scoffed coldly as he said mockingly, "It's good that you know. Indeed, I don't wish to see your face. Running into you brings bad luck."He looked Timothy up and down before sneering again, remarking, "It's not that I have bad luck—it's this place. How could someone as broke as you even think of coming here?"Susan tugged at Jason's hand and said with a frown, "Jason, we're all classmates here. Is it necessary to be so harsh w
Susan had broken up with Timothy and cheated on him back then because he was poor. If Timothy was rich now, it would be a bitter pill to swallow for her. But on the other hand, she felt something for Timothy deep in her heart. It was a kind of feeling that she couldn't quite place her finger on. After all, she had genuinely loved Timothy back then. She ultimately left him because he was dirt poor. If he was rich now, wasn't there a possibility for them to rekindle their relationship?Susan refused to believe that Timothy had no lingering feelings for her at all. Back then, he had been so deeply in love with her. In the present time, it didn't seem like he had a girlfriend or a woman by his side. Even if he did, she was probably nowhere as good as her.Those two conflicting thoughts occupied Susan's mind. As such, a conflicted expression appeared on her beautiful, delicate face. Timothy had no idea what was going through Susan's mind at that moment. If he knew, he would have tol
