2025-02-04 08:44:48At this point, the classmates didn't care whether Brentley and Colby could settle the bill. After all, they weren't the ones paying. They had already started eating and drinking to their heart's content.
Ophelia sat next to Colby, her expression equally grim. She knew that Colby didn't have enough money to cover today's expenses. Even if Brentley could pay, it would probably cost him everything he had. Was it really worth spending all his money just to save face? Thinking about this, Ophelia looked at Brentley with even more disdain. She felt that Brentley had no need to compete with someone like Colby, a rich kid. Winning once wouldn't change the fact that Brentley was still a nobody.
After more than two hours, everyone had eaten their fill. The classmates started glancing nervously at Brentley and Colby, worried that they might not have enough money to pay the bill.
The beautiful manager, in her high heels, gracefully walked over to Brentley and Colby. In a soft voice, she said, "Gentlemen, your total for this private room today is $18,000. Will you be paying in cash or by card?"
Eighteen thousand dollars!
Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing the amount. No one had expected the meal to be this expensive. Colby stared blankly at the manager. If the total was $18,000, then his share would be $9,000. Colby didn't have that kind of money on him!
Just as everyone was reeling from the shock, Brentley pulled out a credit card from his pocket and handed it to the manager. "Charge it to my card,” he said softly.
"Alright... okay!" The manager seemed genuinely surprised by Brentley's generosity. He didn't even blink at the $18,000 bill.
"But I'm only covering half of it. The other half is his responsibility," Brentley added, pointing to Colby just as the manager was about to leave.
Inside the private room, all the classmates stared wide-eyed at Brentley, their expressions filled with shock. They couldn't believe how generous Brentley was, spending over $9,000 without even blinking.
Even Colby was sweating profusely, sitting there not knowing what to do.
"Alright then!"
The beautiful manager nodded slightly, then looked at Colby and asked softly, "Sir, will you be paying with cash or card?"
Colby's mind went blank upon hearing this. He had known that today's meal would be expensive, and he had secretly borrowed over $3,000 from his friends. But he never expected the bill to be a whopping $9,000!
"Let me... make a call..."
Colby stammered, then picked up his phone to make a call.
Before they came out to eat, no one had expected that the one who couldn't pay would be Colby not Brentley.
The beautiful manager understood that Colby was trying to gather the money, so she didn't say much and turned to walk back to the front desk.
A few minutes later, the manager returned and handed Bentley back his card, and said softly, "Sir, your bill has been settled!"
"Good!" Brentley nodded lightly, then walked straight out of the private room. Whether Colby could pay the bill or how he would manage it was none of Brentley's concern.
Seeing Brentley leave, Graham, Tyree, and Felicity quickly followed him out of the room. "Brentley, wait up!" Graham called out loudly after leaving the private room.
Brentley turned his head towards Graham and asked with a cheerful smile, "Graham, is there something you need?"
"Hey, Brentley, where did you get all that money? Did breaking up with Ophelia mess you up or something?" Graham asked, frowning in confusion. "This has nothing to do with Ophelia!" Brentley replied with a laugh, then continued, "I won the lottery a couple of days ago, so I have some extra cash now!"
Brentley didn't want to reveal his true identity to everyone, so he made up an excuse.
"Oh, I see!" Felicity nodded lightly, then frowned and said, "But if you won the lottery, why not use the money to buy yourself some nice clothes or do something more meaningful? Spending it on treating everyone to dinner seems like a waste..."
"I didn't really think it through!” Brentley said with a chuckle.
"No wonder you could afford to treat us to a place like this!" Tyree remarked softly.
"Do you guys need anything else? If not, I'll head home now!" Brentley asked quietly, worried that if he continued talking, he might slip up.
"By the way, Brentley, what's your WeChat ID? Our class has a group chat, and you're the only one missing. Let me add you," Felicity said as she pulled out the latest iPhone from her pocket.
"Uh…” Brentley was taken aback by Felicity's request and replied helplessly, "Well, my phone doesn't have WeChat. I'll add you tomorrow after I get a new phone." "Alright then," Felicity nodded, not pressing the issue further.
Brentley quickly turned and headed out of the hotel.
Graham and Tyree watched Brentley's back with a hint of confusion in their eyes. Although Brentley had explained that he won the lottery, both of them could sense that the current Brentley Carter seemed like a completely different person from the one they knew before.
Meanwhile, Colby was in the private room, frantically calling all his friends, but none of them could lend him any money. The restaurant manager, seeing that Colby had no money, had the security guards block the students inside the private room. If Colby didn’t settle the bill, no one would be allowed to leave.
"Honey, you need to think of something fast!" Ophelia said anxiously to Colby as she saw the security guards blocking the room.
"I'll call my dad and ask him to send me some money!" Colby replied, his tone filled with frustration. He never imagined that things would turn out this way, and now he felt utterly humiliated in front of his classmates.
"I need to use the restroom!" Ophelia said, getting up and heading towards the door. "I'll go too..." Farrah, Taylor quickly followed, seemingly afraid that Colby might ask them for money, and they both left the room.
In the restroom, Farrah took out her makeup and started touching up in front of the mirror.
"Ophelia, Farrah, don't you think Brentley seems like a completely different person now? He actually spent $9,000 to treat everyone to dinner. It's unbelievable!" Taylor said softly while washing her hands.
"Spending $9,000 doesn’t change the fact that he's just a trash collector. He’s only doing this to show off in front of Ophelia because she dumped him. There's nothing strange about it!" Farrah replied disdainfully (meaning to do something with a feeling of contempt or lack of respect).
"Brentley, that loser. I must have been blind to date him in the first place. Now that I think about it, I really regret it. Spending his entire year's living expenses on dinner, he might be generous today, but what about the future? I really don't know what goes on in Brentley's head!" Ophelia said, pouting.
"Yeah, he's just trying to put on a show," Taylor nodded lightly.
"Smack!"
At that moment, a blond young man reached out and slapped Ophelia on the butt, grinning as he asked, "Hey gorgeous, how about joining us for a couple of drinks?"
Ophelia was dressed very provocatively today, enough to catch the eye of any normal guy.
After being slapped, Ophelia immediately turned around and slapped the guy across the face, her big, watery eyes glaring as she shouted, "Do you even know who you are? Do you think you're worthy of buying me a drink?"
Ever since she started dating Colby, Ophelia's temper had become quite fiery. Plus, the incident with Brentley earlier today had left her in a foul mood. So when someone came looking for trouble, Ophelia wasn't about to hold back.
The young man was stunned for a moment after being slapped, then he gritted his teeth and yelled, "You bitch, how dare you hit me?"
"Ah!" Before he could finish his sentence, he let out a scream and slowly crouched down, clutching his groin. Ophelia had taken advantage of his distraction to kick him in the crotch with her high heel.
"Next time, watch yourself. Not everyone is someone you can mess with!" Ophelia shouted coldly, then walked out of the restroom without looking back.
"Stupid loser, thinking he can buy our Ophelia a drink. Just as disgusting as Brentley!" Farrah sneered at the young man with disdain before following Ophelia out of the restroom.
"You three, just wait!"
The blond young man crouched on the ground, his face twisted in pain as he shouted.
Ophelia Farrah and Taylor didn't take the young man's words seriously and went straight back to their private room.
Once inside, Ophelia noticed that Colby was on the phone with his dad, and she could faintly hear his father's angry scolding. The atmosphere in the room was incredibly tense, and everyone kept their heads down, not daring to speak.
Ophelia knew that Colby was in a terrible mood today, so she didn't bring up the fact that someone had taken advantage of her in the restroom.
About half an hour later, Colby's father arrived at the hotel in his car.
As soon as Colby saw his dad, he quickly stood up and called out, "Dad, you're here!"
Smack! The middle-aged man stepped forward and slapped Colby across the face, his eyes glaring as he yelled, "You little brat, who do you think you are? You spent over Nine thousand dollars on one meal! Just wait until we get home..."
The classmates looked at Colby with expressions of helplessness. They had known him for a long time but had never seen him so humiliated.
Colby, having been slapped by his father in front of all his classmates, felt utterly embarrassed. He blamed it all on Brentley. If it weren't for
Brentley, he wouldn't have been humiliated like this today!

Before Brentley broke up with Ophelia, he had spent all his money on her, so he was still using an old Nokia phone that could only send texts and make calls, with no other functions.Earlier, Felicity had reminded Brentley about his outdated phone, so after leaving the Hotel, he randomly found a phone store and bought the latest smart phone. The cost of the phone was nothing to Brentley now.At this moment, Brentley finally realized that everything Mr. Griffin had told him was probably true. Although he hadn't used the black card from Huaxia Bank yet, the five million dollars in his personal Bank account were very real.

Heh, Colby, since you're asking, I suppose I can give you this favor," Simeon replied with a faint smile. He then continued, "I was planning to let my guys have some fun with these three ladies, but since they're your friends, I'll let it slide. Just pay for my brother's medica expenses and take them away.""How much are the medical expenses?" Colby asked, biting his lip in hesitation."The girl who hit him owes five thousand dollars, and the other two owe two thousand each," Simeon said, pointing at Ophelia.Colby stood there, stunned and devastated. He had already spent over Nine thousand dollars at the hotel yesterday, which his dad had to bring over. Now Simeon was asking for another Nine thousand, and Colby simply didn't have that kind of money on hand. "What's the matter, no money?" Simeon asked, noticing Colby's expression and frowning."Mr. Simeon, isn't Nine thousand a bit too much?" Colby whispered."Heh, if you don't have the money, that's fine. Just have these three ladies

Didn't you hear me?""I've already given you the money. Can I take them now?" Brentley asked quietly, trying to keep his composure.Brentley didn't want to reveal his true identity, so he had refrained from confronting Jaxson about his earlier behavior. However, the demand to lick shoes was a step too far for Brentley."Did I not make myself clear? Lick my shoes clean, and you can take them away!" It was evident that Jaxson wasn't willing to let Brentley take Farrah and Taylor so easily. Both girls were considered top-notch, and encounters like this didn't come often. Jaxson was deliberately making things difficult for Brentley. Even if Brentley did lick his shoes, Jaxson would likely find another way to humiliate him."Brentley, what are you waiting for?

"Your shoes are dirty?"Jaxson paused for a moment after hearing Brentley's words, then quickly understood what Brentley meant. He strode over to Brentley's position.Sitting nearby, Simeon squinted at Brentley, seemingly puzzled about the purpose of Brentley's return."Kid, did you just say your shoes are dirty?"Jaxson's gaze was provocatively fixed on Brentley. "That's right." Brentley nodded slightly."Brothers, this kid says his shoes are dirty. What should we do about it?"Jaxson suddenly shouted.With a loud clatter, seven or eight lackeys in the room rushed towards Brentley. This time, Simeon didn't stop them.

A middle-aged woman's voice called out.Brentley pushed the door open and said softly, "I'm here to pick up Miss Hailey’s things."The middle-aged woman looked up at Brentley and then pointed to a stack of items wrapped in brown paper on the floor.

Brentley stood there, dumbfounded, his face showing a mix of excitement and shock.After a brief pause, Hailey found a white cheongsam (a traditional Chinese dress) in the wardrobe. She stood in front of the mirror, holding it up to herself to make sure it was suitable, and then began to put it on.Hailey seemed to have a particular fondness for cheongsam (a traditional Chinese dress), often wearing them even during her classes. Brentley thought she could bring out the full allure of the cheongsam (a traditional Chinese dress), especially with her tall, sexy figure and fair skin. When she wore it, her figure was exquisitely defined, exuding an irresistible charm. She perfectly embodied what it meant to be a seductive beauty.After putting on the cheongsam (a traditional Chinese dress), Hailey bent her graceful body to slip into her high heels, then turned to leave her apartment.Brentley let out a long breath as he saw Hailey preparing to leave.But just as she was about to step out o

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.

"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

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

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,

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.

When Claire first learned that she suddenly had a fiance, she couldn't accept it for a long time. First of all, she didn't know the person at all.

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.
