Chapter 38

The man staggered backward, his body shivering heavily as he reached out to his phone from his pocket.

Every other person watched with bewildered eyes, including Olivia, but she couldn't say a word. She thought James was just putting on an act!

A shit-eating grin escaped from James' mouth after the man had brought out his phone.

“I don't want to say it twice; kindly and quickly forward back the money to me right away!” James spoke to the man almost rudely.

And the man's body stiffened as chills ran down his spine. He draggingly lifted his head and looked at James with eyes widened in shock.

He was short of words!

It was at this moment that someone in the crowd looked into the man's phone, and the figure he saw made his mouth fall open. “H—he sent $11,000 instead of $9,000,” he stuttered, cupping his mouth.

Others hurriedly gathered to confirm. And yes, it was true! James did it on purpose to prove them all wrong that indeed, he was capable!

    Chapter 39 Olivia quickly called out to the security guard who is in charge of the gatekeeping, “Do you see my husband?” The security guard raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Your husband? Sorry, Miss Olivia, did you come with your husband? Because I didn't see any well-dressed man here.” He replied. Olivia bit her lips, “Don't worry, just go back to your duty post.” And the security guard hurried away. She didn't want to describe James' appearance to the security guard as her husband. It would be so embarrassing to tell the security guard that James, who wasn't nicely dressed, was her husband! “Maybe he has gone home, but why didn't he wait for me?” She asked herself in surprise. “Or is it because I always treat him badly?” She felt bad within herself. “Hmm…I have to go home. He needs to explain where he got such a huge amount of money from!” Her curiosity took her into her car. Once settled in her car, she reversed out of the parking lot and drove out. Meanwhile, Jam

How can you be taking a pathetic man like him around! To do what exactly? Show him what he can't afford!” Both sales associates ridiculed their fellow sales associate, whose name was Sandra, just because she had offered to take James around. But Sandra didn't respond to them. Instead, she turned to James and said, “Please, don't listen to them, sir. That's how they behave. They are both sharp-tongued.” “It's clear, and they will lose their jobs today,” James muttered to himself, forcing a smile on his face. “Please, come with me, sir,” Sandra added, leading the way while James followed behind. The two sales associates shook their heads, letting out exasperated groans. “She's so unbelievable at times! Let's wait and see the outcome of it anyway!” They stood crossing their arms tightly over the

But her words were signs of humiliation, which he knew but chose not to react to.The staff member packaged the necklace into a nice nylon bag and after a brief hesitation, she faced James and said, “Are you sure you can really pay for th

    Chapter 43 Maxwell quickly nodded, “He's impersonating someone! Claiming to be the son of Mr. Thomas Crag, the richest businessman in town, but there's no bodyguards guarding him around!” Immediately, Beast heard that he spat in disgust and smirked contemptuously. He looked at James, “Is that true?!” James reluctantly gave a curt nod, and he confidently replied, his voice unwavering, “Yes, I am, and I don't have to go around with bodyguards before you'll know that!” Whack! Beast gave a tight and resounding slap across James' face before he could even realize it. The slap carried so much force that it sent James staggering backward. He almost fell to the ground but was able to hold himself. However, the wrapped necklace fell off his hand. As James forced himself to stand, he felt a hint of blurry stuff inside his eyes as he tried to look at Beast. His cheek was furiously burning and it hurt painfully!

If it was back then, they would have beaten him to death!As he was in deep thought, his phone rang out, and he hesitated before taking it out of his pocket. It was Olivia calling, so he didn't delay answering.“Hello, where are you?” Olivia hurriedly asked from the other end of the line. “I’m on my way back. Why?” James replied. But as Olivia heard that he was on his way back, she abruptly ended the call from the other end.James sighed and grinned lightly, “She's so unbelievable at times! She called and she instantly hung up.” He muttered and shoved his phone back into his pocket.Soon, he arrived at the gate of his home.

Everyone fixed their gazes on him as he did the unwrapping.A disgusting expression appeared in Grandma Aurora's eyes, thinking James had bought a fake necklace for Evelyn. “It won't exceed a counterfeit,” she blurted out indignantly with disdain.James didn't pay any slight attention to her words. She was just always making a mockery of herself and acting foolish at the same time!“Here, Mom. Do you like it?” James asked after revealing the necklace.Wow! Everyone's mouths flew open in shock. It was a beautiful necklace that glitters, and its glittery nature made it extremely stunning!;Evelyn cupped her mouth in surprise. “For me? It's beautiful! I love it!

James avoided her gaze and was going to take his bath but Olivia called after him, “James, I just want to say……” she felt a lump forming in her throat.Confused but curious, James said, “Go on. What do you want to say to me?” He asked.Olivia swallowed hard and finally said, “.....I just want to say thank you for what you did today for me.” Gratitude filled in her voice.James let out a small smile. This was unlike her appreciating his effort. Does this mean she has started turning a new leaf?He waved his hand casually and responded. “It was nothing. You're my wife and it's my responsibility to take care of you. Besides, this is our family company and it's expected of me to do the things which you can't do.” Olivia only nodded with a forced smile. She didn't respond a word. Just as she turned around to leave, James called her back.His expression was unreadable, and he reluctantly con

    As James entered the hall, his foot stepping onto the glossy marble floor, his jaw dropped to the ground in astonishment. The hall was an extravagant room, feeling luxurious and grand. The high ceilings held a sparkling chandelier raining down lights and the walls were adorned with ornate rugs, priceless artwork exuding wealth. The velvet sofas and intricately carved wooden tables were plushly arranged in the hall. James' eyes darted to the huge windows draped with heavy, flowing curtains, then to the crystal vases filled with fresh scent flowers; he gasped audibly. Every detail felt rich and intentional. “This…..is called wealth,” James mumbled, impressed. Glancing around the hall filled with people trying to take their seats, James spotted Olivia with a lady, having a conversation and he walked towards them. Meanwhile, among the crowd, a lady dressed in a crop-topped shirt and a pair of pants revealing her soft and smooth thighs, embraced Olivia into a warm hug, smiling broadl

    Another said, barely above a whisper, “He's so handsome. Prince charming!” “His father must be a billionaire and he….the heir.” A third person joined in, her mouth dropped to the ground in awe. “If not for the bodyguards, I would have gone to take pictures with him and frame it but I'm afraid….I might get beaten up.” While all these were going on—the flirting words from the ladies, the respective waves from the guys, and also the steadied gazes from onlookers, Joshua just carried himself with pride without paying any attention to them. Meanwhile, at the entrance to the main hall where the birthday party was to take place, the security guard there blocked James' path after letting Olivia go in. A hint of irritation ran through his eyes as he let them trail over James reiteratively. He wasn't expecting to see someone like him in this place. So, he said, “Who are you and where are you going?” The security guard asked James with a frown, his arms crossed. With an eyebrow ar

    Meanwhile, Olivia arrived at Harris’ compound, Mary's place, with her old Nissan Versa. She drove further into the available space in the parking lot and came to a halt, carefully parking. As Olivia stepped out, her gaze fell on the cars already parked there and she gasped audibly, apprehending the force Mary's father's birthday party would carry. Beside her car were Mercedes AMG, Rolls Royce, Range Rover, etc. Hers was the only odd one out. Olivia's face blushed with a mix of shame and embarrassment but she tried to keep a composed demeanor as she saw more cars driving in. James then stepped out too, and a shocking shiver ran down his spine. “Wow, t—these are mind-blowing.” He admitted, his voice wavering. However, he tried not to stare much to avoid being embarrassed as he followed Olivia from behind. The compound was filled with people of caliber, all well-dressed. The men were dressed up; some were in gray suits with their luxury watches situated around their wrists,

    Grandma Aurora's eyes fell on him, screwing up into a mixture of disdain and tight frown, “Are you going out with him?” She asked, burning James with so much hatred. Olivia bit her lips, nervously and gave a slow nod, “Yes, Granny. My friend asked for it so I—” She tried to answer when Grandma Aurora interjected, displaying fury. “And you consented to it?” She asked, her voice sharp and filled with irritation. “How could you agree to it? Don't you know this is an attempt to mock our family—the Parkers?” Olivia just swallowed hard, listening to everything her grandmother was saying. Her head was slightly facing the ground in shame. Grandma Aurora continued, pointing at James with contempt, “Take a look at him, does he even look any good to follow you to such a significant event?” James just stood, crossing his arms as he listened but the words were having no negative effects on him. Instead, he was smiling lightly to himself, finding the words humorous. Leonard also wanted

    Olivia winked, “Why? Haven't I been looking beautiful before?” James quickly shook his head, indicating that was not what he meant. “Nah, I mean you look more different in the gown I bought for you. It just looks perfect on you.” Olivia's face twisted into a tight frown as she moved forward dramatically and shut him off. “No, go on…” she said, annoyed, “come on, go ahead and tell the whole world you bought a replica for me, and I accepted.” James' eyes flashed with confusion about how Olivia was just getting him all wrong, however, he didn't say a word. Olivia continued, a hint of disgust lacing in her voice, “You should be ashamed of yourself that guys of your age are getting their wives expensive things and here you are, making noise about gifting me a replica. And so you know…. I'm not putting this on after today. I only accepted it because I don't have any new clothes to put on.” Janes opened his mouth to speak, but Olivia cut him off again, this time before he could ut

    Evelyn hurriedly shook her head with a smile, “Not really, James. Come to check if you were back….and here you're…I think I have to give the both of you space to carry on…” She rushed out of the room, closing the door behind her before James or Olivia could even say a word. James and Olivia both looked at each other, confused about Evelyn's last word. To carry on with what exactly? Olivia raised her eyebrows with a slight frown, “This woman is so unbelievable at times.” She said under her breath. James shook his head and a small smile crept over his face, knowing Evelyn's intention for making such a comment. She was trying to get Olivia and him close to each other. Funny. He then held the towel wrapped around his waist about to pull it off to oil his boy…. At that same moment, after letting out a deep sigh, Olivia turned around only for her sharp gaze to land on James when he was on the verge of removing his towel. Her eyes flinched and she immediately covered her face w

  • Chapter 57: Olivia Pretends

    Chapter 57 Stepping into the room, James locked eyes with Olivia's. He slightly averted her gaze, closed the door behind him, and moved further into the room. “Olivia,” he called out, placing the gown on the bed. “I bought this for you.” He said, observing how she was going to react. Olivia raised a surprised eyebrow at him before reluctantly sitting up on the bed. Dropping her phone down, she asked, looking at James before eyeing the nylon bag. “You bought something for me.” She furrowed her eyebrows, “what is it?” James nodded with a smile, “It's something you'd love, please, check it out yourself.” He gestured to the bag, wanting Olivia to open it by herself. Olivia shifted her body on the bed as her gaze locked with James’. Doubt crept onto her face, not believing what James was saying. But after giving James a last glance, she hesitatedly drew the nylon bag close to herself and started to unwrap it with an impatient expression. James stood, his arms lapping across h

  • Chapter 56: Slight Like

    Chapter 56 James paused briefly and leaned forward on his seat. Raising an eyebrow at the driver, utterly confused, “What's that?” He asked. The driver cleared his throat and repeated, “I mean….how you helped those random strangers with $300 each. I saw that.” “That?” James gave a casual wave of hand, “They are not random strangers—they are like family to me, so it's nothing.” Hearing that, the driver's eyes blinked in surprise yet intrigued. “Oh, I see.” He said softly. “That means you're worth millions if you can give someone $300 in just a second.” “Okay.” James just casually said, shrugging his shoulders. Without a word he leaned back on his seat, his face lit up with joy again after taking another glimpse at the packaged gown. The driver, still interested in having a conversation with James, spoke again after several reluctances, his voice was calm and a mix of concern and worry, “Sir…it seems like you have a little cut on your forehead, what happened? I can take you

  • Chapter 55: Driver Praises James

    Chapter 55 Before the woman could outrun James to beg him, James turned, giving her a cold glare void of any emotions, “Don't!” He stopped her with his hand and gave a shrug, “Who knows–I was going to get a necklace from you worth $700, but you actually blocked your way by yourself, so it's actually not my fault! Your bad approach caused it!” The woman wore a genuine regret now but James had already concluded that it was over. Just as the woman opened her mouth to say a word, James walked away entirely from the store arena. She only stared at James as he walked away with rue, tears forming in her eyes. She couldn't hold them back anymore and she let them stream down her cheeks. “You deserve better than this!” Sandra said with a cold voice. “Judging people by their appearance will never bring any good to your life. Change!” She said and ran off to catch up with James alongside Walsh. After they approached him, James took a deep breath, trying to shake off the scene that h
