Actually, Colby and Ophelia had no business dining at a place like Jacques Bistro Restaurant. They were only there because one of Colby's friend was celebrating a birthday. He had initially come over just to see what was happening, but he never expected the person in trouble to be Brentley.The last time at the Prosperity Hotel, Brentley had humiliated him, and he had been looking for a chance to get back at him ever since. This was the perfect opportunity.Colby thought to himself that if even he couldn't afford the high prices at Jacques Bistro Restaurant, there was no way Brentley could. Brentley had spent a lot of money at the Prosperity Hotel last time; how could he possibly have money left to spend here?"Manager Morgan, if you don't believe me, my current girlfriend is Brentley's ex. She can testify!" Colby said, seeing that the manager hadn't responded."Yes, I'm his ex-girlfriend!" Ophelia stepped forward, supporting Colby's claim. The crowd turned to look at Ophelia in disbe

Inside Jacques Bistro Restaurant.Erica stared wide-eyed at her cousin beside her, her face filled with disbelief.Her cousin had just mentioned that the person who booked the private room at the Restaurant wasn't her, but her fiance, whom she had never met. The hotel manager had said that the room was booked by Brentley."Could Brentley be your fiance?" Erica gasped, covering her small mouth in shock after realizing the situation. "This can't be..." Erica’s cousin’s eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness.Although she had never met her fiance, she knew that the Harris Family was a well-known and respected family in Sunshire City. Being the only daughter of the Harris Family, how could her parents agree to marry her off to someone like Brentley Carter, an ordinary person? Even if she had to marry, it should be to a young man from a prominent family in Sunshire City, right?"Let's go see what's going on!" Erica hesitated for a moment before grabbing the elegant woman's hand and headi

"What are your terms? Let's hear them," Brentley asked, knowing that Claire agreeing to marry him couldn't be that simple. He wasn't arrogant enough to believe that someone like Claire would fall head over heels for him at first glance.Claire hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "First, our marriage will not be public, but privately, we have no relationship. You are you, and I am me." "Go on," Brentley replied nonchalantly."Second, you must have no improper thoughts about me. You can't do anything to violate me. We won't share the same room, and even if we do, we won't share the same bed," Claire continued, looking directly at Brentley."Any other conditions?" Brentley couldn't help but smile. He could already sense that Claire didn't truly want to marry him. She just wanted Brentley to play along so she could secure the investment for the Harris Family."The third condition is that you have no right to interfere with anything I do," Claire said slowly. "No right to interf

"Manager Morgan, what did you just say? My membership has been canceled?"Colby's friend, Young Master Ellis, looked visibly agitated upon hearing the manager’s words. After all, obtaining a membership card for Jacques Bistro Restaurant was no easy task. Young Master Ellis had spent millions at Jacques Bistro Restaurant to finally secure a gold-level membership card. Now, it was abruptly canceled, and he was understandably upset."Young Master Ellis, I'm sorry, but these are orders from above. It has nothing to do with me," Morgan replied, his face expressionless.Colby was stunned by the manager’s response, his face turning grim. He knew how important this membership card was to Young Master Ellis, and he also knew how important he was to him.Colby had come to attend his birthday party mainly to get closer to him and curry favors. Their family had a significant project up for bidding, and Colby's father's company was planning to bid on it. Colby had already discussed this with him i

Caroline naturally didn't dare to go against her boss' wishes, so she led Brentley straight to the model display at the sales office.Mr. Rivera knew well that Brentley probably couldn't afford the villa, so he didn't linger in the sales office for long and walked out directly.Meanwhile, Vienna stood nervously in place, her eyes filled with helplessness. She knew that by calling Brentley here today, she had basically offended Manager Brown.When Brentley leaves, she would definitely be fired by her.Vienna was at a loss for what to do, her small hands fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.Caroline, with practiced ease, picked up a laser pointer and directed it at the model of the villa on the far edge. Pouting slightly, she said to Brentley, "This is the last villa available in our entire development. It's a two-story, 3,200-square-foot home. The price is $300 per square foot, so the total comes to $960,000 if you pay in full.""$960,000?" Brentley Carter was taken aback by the numb
