Richard led Melinda into the hotel building only for their presence to draw the attention of those already inside.“Oh, isn't that Ms. Melinda Dawson?... What is she doing back here?... I thought she'd already left?”“You know I heard that she was trying to act smart but then she was put in her place which is why she had to leave the hotel.”“I heard it too. Poor fool, only idiots would dare to go against the Five Coalition yet she still wishes to do so.”“Hah, can she even do anything?... I mean, look, she went to get herself so broke guy to come and beg for her. I don't understand what gives her the audacity to do something like this.”Their murmurs were loud, making sure Melinda heard them which caused her further anguish.Rubbing her shoulder to support her, Richard led her to the receptionist's desk and knocked on it twice.Unfortunately, both receptionists on the seat didn't even bother to look their way as they busied themselves reading newspapers.Melinda bit down on her lip a

The entire reception was silent as they waited for Richard to give a response to Matilda.Most already thought it natural that he would have to accept her proposal.It was only natural, after all, he was a mere beggar.And so they waited, however, the response they expected never came and instead, Richard remarked.“You said to get a black card, you need at least $600 million.” “Of course, are you shocked?... Did you think it would be cheap?”“Not at all. However, I'm quite curious to know if that is the highest amount a black card can hold.” As he spoke, he made it clear he was addressing the receptionist as he glanced in her direction.Snorting derisively, the receptionist replied. “Can you stop wasting all our time and just accept Ms. Matilda's offer?... Gosh, you are so annoying.” “Just answer the damn question.” Richard shot back in vague annoyance causing the receptionist to step back in shock.“Fine then, since you just want to trouble me, I'll tell you. A black card can hold

“Sister!” Matilda bawled her eyes out as she cried in her elder sister, Geraldine's arms.In her attempt to humiliate Melinda, she ended up being the one that was humiliated and what's more by some unknown man.“Just shut up and stop crying already. I can't believe everything, you couldn't even put that lowly bitch in her place.”“It's not my fault,” Matilda remarked teary-eyed. “She found a benefactor to help her out. Judging from his looks and the amount of money he spent for a black card, he is most likely a hidden powerhouse.”Geraldine clicked her tongue. “Tch, that bitch always has to be so lucky, I don't understand why men can't seem to turn away from her when they see her, what the hell does she have?”“Sister, we have to do something else Melinda might end up staging a comeback before the end of the conference.”“No need to tell me that, I already know. We already received word that Melinda had sent a message back to Intercity and yesterday a private jet touched down in our a

“Hah, don't kid yourself, Melinda. This no-named fellow wouldn't even be able to measure up to a servant in my family talk more of being at my level.” Vance remarked arrogantly as he regarded Melinda, not even deeming Richard worthy of a glance. “Is that so?” Melinda intoned before glancing at Richard.She wished to get his permission to do what she had in mind so it wouldn't end up being that she pulled him into an unnecessary fight.Richard, however, was game to teach the fool a lesson and so, he nodded.“How about a little game?” Melinda inquired with a mischievous grin.“What game?” Vance asked.“Let's have a mini-auction, right here, right now, I mean, we are both here to purchase cars so I don't think it would deviate much from our intended purpose,” Melinda remarked causing Vance to burst into mocking laughter.“You can't be serious. After the disgrace you suffered last time, do you still think you can compete with me in an auction?... Come on, Melinda, don't be daft. Do you t

Unbeknownst to the people gathered at the gate, Richard, with the help of Melinda, had already gotten across to the head of the park and after a brief talk, had managed to shut down the park so that the two of them would have the entire place to themselves.It took some convincing and roughly 10 million but at the end of the day, the manager relented and closed the park.Of course, the idea of closing down the park was brought up by Richard with Melinda having no part of it.She was as shocked as the park manager when Richard suggested it and even pushed to ensure the manager accepted.Was this a date?... The thought caused Melinda's cheeks to turn as red as tomatoes from embarrassment.Richard, however, tried not to focus on her reactions as he drove to the park entrance and signaled for them to open it before driving into the awe of everyone present.“Whoa, what's going on?... I thought the park shut down?... Now it's opening for them?”“This makes no sense though I don't mind consi
