Gabe was heading out of the house, but right outside the door, he saw a couple of bones. He immediately recognized them. They were the thigh bones of a rooster.Gabe gritted his teeth in rage. William probably left these at his doorstep to further anger him, he thought. Maybe, Bart made William do it. It didn’t matter. He hated both the father and son to the core.“How could they do this…” his hands curled into tight balls.Just then an old man came to his house with a big book in his hand.“Excuse me, sir, I came to collect the property tax, water tax, and sewage tax,” he introduced himself to Gabe. “Erwin Woods, the house is in his name, and the tax for the past three years hasn’t been paid.”“H-How much do we have to pay in total?” Gabe asked, his heart starting to pick up speed.He adjusted his glasses and took a look at the record book. “All taxes included, it’s just 6325 dollars.”Gabe’s heart exploded. “WHAT?! Why is it so much?”“It’s for three years, sir.”“I know, but… It’s

The walkway was lit with lights and artificial plants in a sequence. The pavement was carpeted by flowers, and so Gabe picked his sandals up and walked on his bare feet so he could feel the softness of the flower petals with his own feet. And he loved it.Some of the people passing who were already giving him weird looks now had their faces scrunch and make more distance from him.“Soft pink flowers… I don’t know their name, but they feel so soft, and they smell nice, too.”He didn’t even feel like entering the wedding hall because he loved walking on this pavement. It was so soothing and comfortable, so he kept going to and fro.One of the guests complained to a guard inside, and this guard spotted Gabe and was coming to him.But then Mia’s family just went past Gabe. None of them even stopped for a second, except for Mia.“Hey…” Mia patted Gabe’s shoulder as he was busy looking at the flowers. “What are you doing here?”“Nothing. I’m just…” Gabe was casually replying, thinking it wa

Everyone was shocked by what Mia had done.“You bitch!” The young man’s friends fumed at Mia. If not for Gabe suddenly jumping in and standing before her, they would have probably attacked her already. “Do you know who we are and who this man is? He’s the only heir of Fred Fashions. His dad has a networth close to 80 million dollars.”“So what?” Mia indifferently replied. “How much of that 80 million is actually earned by this great friend of yours?”None of the five friends replied to that question, but the guy who got curry thrown in his face just wiped it away with his kerchief and smiled at Mia. “You… I like women with guts like you. Why don’t you be my girlfriend?”Gabe was shocked by his response.“No,” Mia was quick to reply. “You wish.”“Haha,”he took out a visiting card. “I’m Ron Fredinand. You can give me a call whenever you want.” He tried to give the card to her, but she didn’t take it, so he put it in Gabe’s pocket.Gabe wanted to throw the card away, but he couldn’t do s

“Miss,” the teddy bear reached out for Mia’s hand but didn’t touch her. “You should join us.”Mia was pleasantly surprised.”M-Me? No, no, no. No thank you.”“Are you sure?” the teddy bear slowly reached out for her hand, making her heart race. “Because I’ll make sure that the wine won’t spill.”Whether it was his weirdly familiar voice or his charming words, Mia couldn’t resist for some reason. She let him grab her hand, and before she knew it, he pulled her in the flow of the music, and her body moved along. Mia never danced in her life. At best, she tapped her foot to the music. That was all she had in terms of experience, but now, she felt so comfortable as the teddy bear led her and made her dance along effortlessly.The crowd mimicked them and moved along in couples as well. Draco, however, couldn’t find a partner to dance with, which frustrated him to no end. His mother was occupied. Even his grandmother was occupied. He truly had no one to dance with. So he got angry and stoppe

A few minutes later.Gabe went to meet Kiera on the rooftop.Zack and Kiera were dancing together while musicians played in the background.Gabe was no longer wearing the teddy bear suit. He could see some other classmates in the crowd, but he didn’t meet them. He waited until the wedding couple finished dancing.“Kiera,” he walked up to her and hesitantly asked, “if you give the 11,000 dollars, I’ll leave.” “Write him a check, darling,” Kiera said.Zack nodded and wrote a check of 12,000 dollars.“Thank you so much,” Gabe was elated. “I wish you both a happy married life.” He shook their hands and left in a hurry.Kiera and Zack looked at each other and smiled a little savagely.Meanwhile, Bart was woken up by a man, and Bart couldn’t believe that he was actually lying down on the toilet floor.What’s more, the alpha system ring on his hand was gone. However, the smart system was still on his nose.He asked the person who woke him up if he stole the ring. He even searched that perso
