"Little Brentley, if you don't agree, we'll have to discuss you peeking at me while I was changing,"Hailey said gently.

"Ms. Bennet, I swear I didn't see anything!" Brentley replied, looking quite helpless.

"Are you sure you didn't see anything?" Hailey pouted.

Brentley hesitated for a moment before saying quietly, "Alright, I'll help you out this time..."

"So you did see me changing, didn't you?" Hailey suddenly changed her tone, frowning as she shouted. Brentley was left speechless.

A few minutes later, Brentley left Hailey's apartment, still adamantly denying that he had not seen anything. Hailey had no choice but to let it go.

As Brentley walked out of the apartment, his mind was filled with thoughts of Hailey's alluring figure. He had to admit, her body was incomparable to that of any of the students like Farrah, Ophelia or Taylor.

In just one day, Brentley Carter found himself gazing at the bodies of two stunning women. This unexpected turn of events sparked a desire within him to find a girlfriend. Previously, Brentley had been with Ophelia. He realized their relationship wasn't about love; Ophelia merely saw him as a tool to spend money on her. Now that Ophelia had found a new source of funds, she had ruthlessly discarded him.

"Who would be a good match?" Brentley mumbled to himself.

Before inheriting his wealth, Brentley would never have been so confident. Back then, he was just a poor guy, and no girl would have given him a second glance. But things were different now. With his new found wealth, Brentley believed that as long as he was willing to spend money on a girl, no one could refuse him.

"Class President Felicity seems pretty nice..."

As he thought about this, Felicity's delicate and pretty face appeared in his mind. Brentley began to ponder how he should go about pursuing her.

Just then, his phone rang.

Brentley glanced at the screen and saw that it was Mr. Griffin calling.

"Hello?" Brentley answered the call. "Young Master Carter, is this a good time to talk?" Mr. Griffin asked politely.

"Yes, it's fine. What's up?" Brentley replied.

"Young Master Carter, here's the situation. I've arranged a meeting with your fiancee for tomorrow at 10 am at Jacques' Bistro. How does that sound?" Mr. Griffin said slowly.

"My fiancee?"

Brentley was stunned by Mr. Griffin's words, his face showing clear confusion.

"Yes, Young Master Carter, have you forgotten? When you inherited Chairman Brown's estate, there was a stipulation that you must marry Miss Claire Harris. If you don't marry her within two years, the will becomes void," Mr. Griffin explained patiently.

"Oh, right... I remember now."

Brentley's expression turned resigned as he recalled the condition. He had been thinking about finding a girlfriend at school, but Griffin's reminder brought back the memory of that specific clause in the inheritance.

"Is Claire Harris pretty?" Brentley asked hesitantly, waiting for Mr. Griffin’s answer "Young Master Carter, I can't really answer that for you. You'll see Miss Harris yourself tomorrow, and then you'll know," Mr. Griffin replied with a chuckle.

"Never mind. What does it matter if she's pretty or not? If I want to inherit the estate, I have to marry Claire Harris, right?" Brentley asked, sounding defeated.

"That's what the contract stipulates," Mr. Griffin confirmed.

"So if I don't marry Claire Harris, I won't get a single penny?" Brentley Carter continued, frowning. "Correct."

"What was Gerald Brown thinking? If he wanted me to inherit the estate, why add such a condition?" Brentley muttered, feeling frustrated. He hadn't even met his fiancee yet, and he assumed that any woman who would agree to such an arrangement must be desperate. The thought left him feeling even more annoyed.

"This is Chairman Brown's directive. As for his exact reasoning, I'm not entirely sure," Mr. Griffin replied calmly.

"Alright, got it. I'll be there tomorrow," Brentley replied in a low voice. "By the way, Young Master Carter, there's something else I need to remind you of..." Mr. Griffin said slowly.

"What is it?" Brentley asked, momentarily stunned.

"Currently, Miss Harris and her family are unaware of your true identity. In their eyes, you are still the same person you were before. Therefore, you cannot reveal your identity to Miss Harris. Moreover, if you do end up marrying Miss Harris, you would be considered a live-in son-in-law of the Harris family," Mr. Griffin explained slowly.

"What? A live-in son-in-law?" Brentley shouted in disbelief upon hearing Mr. Griffin 's words. "That's right, Young Master Carter. Because you are now just an ordinary person, you cannot reveal your true identity in front of Miss Harris. So, you are to be the live-in son-in-law of the Harris Family," Mr. Griffin explained slowly.

"What? It's already bad enough that you're making me marry an ugly duckling as my fiancee, and now you want me to be a live-in son-in-law? Isn't that going too far?" Brentley was clearly upset about the idea of being a live-in son-in-law and shouted in frustration. "Young Master Carter, these are Chairman Brown's instructions. It was all written in the will; you just didn't read it carefully at the time!" Mr. Griffin explained with a helpless tone.

"What on earth was Gerald Brown trying to do? Why is inheriting his fortune so complicated? If I had known, I wouldn't have signed anything!" Brentley was visibly on the verge of a breakdown.

"So, Young Master Carter, are you planning to give up the inheritance?" Mr. Griffin asked, taken aback.

"Uh..." Brentley was momentarily speechless.

    After a brief hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, "When did I say I was giving up?"Having gone from being poor to the world's richest man in just one day, Brentley was not about to give up so easily."I was just asking, no other reason," Mr. Griffin replied with a faint smile."When can I reveal my true identity to the Harris Family?" Brentley asked softly after a moment of hesitation."As long as you marry Miss Harris, everything will be sorted!" Mr. Griffin said calmly."Fine, I got it!"Brentley replied, his expression turning irritated as he hung up the phone.Earlier today, Brentley had been thrilled after seeing Farrah and Hailey, two stunning beauties, undress. He was filled with anticipation for his future girlfriend. But Griffin’s call shattered all his fantasies."That Claire Harris must be an unwanted ugly duckling, and now they want me to be their live-in son-in-law?

    "Erica, don't be shy. Did this guy just bully you?" Elton shouted excitedly at the girl.The girl hesitated for a moment before gently shaking her head. She felt that being taken advantage of by Brentley today was already unlucky enough. If she let a scrap collector take advantage of her too, she would be a laughingstock. Besides, even if Brentley knelt down and apologized, it wouldn't solve anything. So, she decided it was better not to say anything."Did he really not bully you?"Elton was taken aback when he saw the girl shake her head and asked in confusion."No, let's go!" The girl shot Brentley a look of disgust before turning and walking away."Kid, just wait. I'll deal with you when I have the time!" Elton spat venomously at Brentley before turning to follow the girl.After watching Elton and the others leave, Brentley reached for his phone to call Logan, intending to have Logan teach Elton a lesson.

Her bright, star-like eyes were captivating, her lips were glossy and alluring. She wore a white blouse that accentuated her curves, and her fair, delicate skin glowed. Below the blouse, she wore a short skirt, and her long, slender legs were clad in black stockings, making her already stunning figure even more enticing.However, Brentley thought Phoebe looked even more pure and beautiful in real life; the video didn't do her justice."Slut, you just wait!

    "Move in together?"Phoebe couldn't help but frown slightly at Brentley's suggestion, her cheeks turning a shade of pink. "Brentley, what are you thinking? I just saw you living in that tiny room, and it seemed so shabby. I have a spare room here, so I thought you could move in with me!""Oh, that's what you meant," Brentley replied, sounding a bit disappointed."Besides, I'm usually busy streaming most of the time. After my streams, I just go to bed and don't have time to tidy up. If you move in, you could help me keep the place clean. That could be your rent payment. How about it?" Phoebe suggested softly.In truth, Phoebe didn't really need Brentley to pay rent. She was just worried he might feel uncomfortable moving in without contributing.Brentley was touched by Phoebe's offer, but he knew he had a fiancee.

Although it wasn't mealtime, the front of Jacques was already lined with luxury cars, and stylish, eye-catching young people were coming and going.Even though Brentley was wearing his best clothes today, he still felt out of place compared to the people frequenting the Restaurant.After paying the fare, Brentley walked straight towards the entrance of the Restaurant. The security guard at the door was momentarily surprised by Brentley's attire. He quickly extended his hand to stop him and frowned, asking, "Young man, are you here for a job interview? If so, use the back entrance!""I'm here to eat!" Brentley replied, looking up at the guard with a blank expression."You're here to eat?" The guard's eyes flashed with doubt but didn't say much more. He lowered his hand and allowed Brentley to enter.While most of the people who dined at Jacques Bistro were wealthy, there were occasionally some ordinary folks who came to try the

    Erica had heard about Brentley from Elton back when they were at Sunshire City University. She knew very well that Brentley was just a poor guy who couldn't even afford meals at the Campus cafeteria, let alone dine at a place like Jacques Bistro Restaurant.So, seeing Brentley here, Erica could only assume he was working a part-time job. This was why she decided to use this opportunity to threaten him, venting her pent-up frustration."You better kneel down and apologize to me right now. If I'm in a good mood, I might just let this slide. Otherwise, I'll get the manager to fire you!" Erica said smugly, crossing her arms as she glared at Brentley."I'm not an employee here. If you want the manager to fire me, go ahead," Brentley replied calmly."Heh..." Erica sneered and continued, "At this point, who are you trying to fool? If you're not an employee, are you a customer? Are you seriously going to tell me you're here to eat? Brentley, don't think I don't know about you. Elton told me

    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.

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.

    Brentley lay on his bed, staring at his phone. He recalled how he had been unable to log into his account no matter what he tried, and now, someone was impersonating him.This could only mean one thing: his account had been hacked.But what puzzled Brentley was that his account had no money in it. Why would anyone bother hacking it?"Could it be Young Master Jordan from Sunshire City?" Brentley wondered.However, he quickly dismissed this thought. The hacker hadn't used Brentley's fame to promote other streamers.From what Phoebe had told him, Young Master Jordan was the owner of a streaming company and wanted to sign Phoebe to his company. If he had hacked Brentley's account, he would have used it to promote his company's streamers.But the hacker had only sent some gifts in Phoebe's live-stream and then logged off.This left Brentley even more confused about the hacker's intentions. He spent a long time examining his phone, but found nothing. Phoebe had also ended her live-stream, s

    "Never mind, I have classes tomorrow, and there's no rush to buy a house anyway!" Caroline thought to herself, wondering how she would seduce Brentley if she actually brought him home. But her thoughts were abruptly interrupted by Brentley's voice.Caroline was stunned by Brentley's words, a strange glint flashing in her beautiful eyes."Mr. Carter, are you sure you don't want to come and take a look?" Caroline asked, her voice filled with disappointment."No, I have other matters to attend to. I'll be leaving now," Brentley replied nonchalantly before turning and walking away.Since Brentley wasn't in a hurry to buy a house, he saw no need to go over now. As for Caroline's thoughts, Brentley was completely oblivious.Seeing Brentley about to leave, Caroline quickly reached out and grabbed his arm. "Mr. Carter, I'm really sorry about today. I shouldn't have said those things to you earlier...""It's fine. I didn't take your words to heart," Brentley said, glancing back at her indiffer

    Brentley stared at Vienna standing before him, utterly at a loss for words. He never imagined that Vienna would think he gave her the villa because he wanted to keep her as a mistress. In reality, Brentley had no such intentions."Mr. Carter, please rest assured. I've always been very proper. I've never had a boyfriend, and I'm clean!" Vienna quickly added when she saw Brentley remaining silent.Brentley glanced up and down at Vienna. He had to admit, she was quite attractive. Her figure was top-notch, with a well-proportioned chest, long and slender legs beneath her denim shorts, and a slim waist. Her delicate face had a hint of innocence and cuteness, although her attire was a bit shabby. With a little effort, she might not compare to someone like Claire, but she would definitely outshine Ophelia.If it had been the old Brentley Carter, he might have been tempted by such a beautiful woman offering herself. But now, having met Claire, even though she was only his fiancee in name, Bre

    Vienna froze instinctively after hearing Brentley's words, and Caroline looked equally puzzled.Brentley had just mentioned that he didn't buy this house for himself. If it wasn't for him, it must be a gift for someone else. And now, he had called Vienna over. Caroline's mind raced with a bold idea: Could it be that Brentley bought this villa to give it to Vienna?Vienna stood there, dumbfounded, her face showing utter confusion. She still hadn't wrapped her head around the fact that Brentley had spent so much money on the villa. It all seemed too surreal."Vienna, why are you just standing there? Hurry up and come over!" Caroline called out, frowning when she saw Vienna's lack of response."Yes, Manager Brown!" Vienna quickly replied, walking nervously to Brentley. She timidly asked, "Mr. Carter, what can I do for you?""Sign the contract," Brentley said calmly, sitting on the sofa.Everyone was stunned by Brentley's words, their faces filled with disbelief.

    "Did you buy this villa?"Caroline was momentarily stunned when she heard Brentley's answer, then burst into laughter, her body shaking. The sales office staff joined in, laughing as if they had just heard the funniest joke in the world."Mr. Carter... I'm fine. If worse comes to worst, I'll just find another job. Let's just go!"Vienna was deeply moved that Brentley had stepped up to speak for her, but she knew there was no way he could afford a $960,000 villa. To her, his words seemed like nothing more than a joke."Had enough laughing?"Brentley's sudden interruption silenced the room. Caroline stopped laughing and gave him a quick look, then said, "You want to buy this villa, right? This villa is a special offer. We don't accept loans; it's full payment only. The deposit is two hundred thousand, and the remaining Seven hundred and sixty thousand must be paid within a week. If you want to buy it, just pay up!""Two hundred thousand for the deposit?"

    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

    The sexy sales manager at the real estate office paused for a moment after hearing Brentley's words. She then gave him a quick look before covering her mouth and giggling coquettishly (meaning in a flirtatious manner)Naturally, the other employees in the office joined in the laughter, their eyes filled with disdain as they looked at Brentley."Kid, do you even know how much our houses cost per square foot? Do you know that all the properties we sell here are villas over 3,200 square feet?"The sexy manager, swaying gracefully in her high heels, approached Brentley with an aggressive tone."No, I don't..."Brentley shook his head lightly as he looked at the manager."Didn't you just ask me how I knew you couldn't afford a house here? Let me tell you, the cheapest villa here costs over a million dollars. Do you think you can come up with that kind of money? Do you really think this is a place you should be?" the manager continued, her voice dripping with condescension."A million dolla

    "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.

    Claire and Erica felt an even deeper disdain for Brentley after seeing him agree to their demands. In their eyes, Brentley was a man without dignity or ambition. Otherwise, how could he possibly agree to such conditions?"Here's my business card. It has my contact information. Send me your account details later, and I'll transfer your living expenses monthly," Claire said, hesitating for a moment before taking a card from her purse and handing it to Brentley."Okay, thank you!" Brentley replied cheerfully, taking the card with a smile. "How can you be so shameless? You're a grown man living off a woman's money. Don't you find that inappropriate?" Erica couldn't hold back any longer, her big, watery eyes glaring at Brentley."Being supported by a wealthy woman is a skill of mine. Do you want to be supported too? Is there anyone willing to support you?" Brentley replied nonchalantly, glancing at Erica."You... you are the most shameless man I've ever met!" Erica was at a loss for words,
