"Thank you." Shawn took a packet of Croissant bread from a bakery keeper. He quickly paid for the bread and frowned. "Why would Rachel ask for bread in the afternoon like this?"Bread was usually eaten in the morning, but for some reason Rachel called him and asked for this food in the afternoon. Fortunately, Shawn could still get Croissants at the Latte Bread shop, a very famous bakery in Yihua city. Not only is this shop famous for having delicious and quality products, it is also open 24 hours. It's just that the price is quite expensive compared to its competitors. They were targeting the rich people in Yihua city.Shawn got into the car and held the steering wheel. He took a deep breath because today was quite tiring. He thought it would be a good day because Nina's photo shoot went well and everyone liked the results, but Mr. Will's incident had drained Shawn's energy.He tapped his fingers a few times. "Tough day, it's a good thing Nina's okay. I managed to save her again."Sha
"I don't know about this." Shawn turned to Rachel in confusion. Rachel rolled her eyes while biting her aunt slightly. She tried to recall the conversation last night. "Oh yeah, I didn't tell you that mom is coming with us." Rachel had been tired last night and Shawn had also gotten home a bit late, so Rachel had been less focused on talking about today's events. Besides, last night Shawn had told her about a kidnapping incident that happened to one of his artists, which added to Rachel's distraction. To the point that Rachel wasn't talking about her mom. Shawn himself became a little awkward with this, as he thought today would be a light day. However, the presence of Rachel's mother put a bit of pressure on Shawn. Moreover, the woman came without a smile even when she entered the house. Right now, she was looking at Shawn with a sharp look and lowered eyebrows. One of her lips even curled up as if she was a little annoyed by Shawn's confused greeting. Suddenly, the woman ra
"Auntie?" Taylor stared at Shawn with an annoyed look. She was calling her randomly, especially since Shawn was a commoner. "Does your son-in-law really have no manners, Verena Doves? He even called me Auntie without any respect!" Verena glanced sharply at Shawn. It was as if she was saying that she didn't want to feel embarrassed in front of this man. However, Shawn didn't pay much attention to the glare, because Taylor was the one who started patronizing him first. Taylor turned on her heel. "It seems like your status is already very clear as a lowly person. You don't even know how to address people. And you just casually said that the jewelry I'm wearing is fake. It's stupid, it's rude!" Rachel wrinkled her forehead and began to get annoyed as the insults kept coming out of the woman's mouth, but Shawn held her hand tightly. When Rachel turned to Shawn, she could see from the side that Shawn was still calm about all this, even smiling a little. Meanwhile, Verena, Rachel's mo
"I am very confident about my son-in-law. He is a man who comes from a respectable and wealthy family. He even has a very high sense of propriety. I'm very sure that my daughter wouldn't be wrong in choosing a man like him to be her husband. Unlike you who is very impolite and from a lowly family. Your mere presence makes everyone unsure of you." Taylor said this while glaring at Shawn. Shawn didn't take any of the insults personally. To him, such insults were tasteless. After all, it was just an accusation without evidence. Seeing Taylor's response, Shawn wanted to add more spice. He had to make the stakes bigger and more personal. "Oh yeah? Mrs. Stephanie Taylor has a great son-in-law who married her daughter? Should I be flattered when I see a woman being cheated on by her son-in-law? Or is it just that she's too stupid to know she's being duped with fake jewelry?" Taylor opened her eyes wide and was very annoyed by that remark. "You--you are such an insolent person! You eve
"Hi, Mr. Jack!" Taylor greeted the person waiting for the jewelry store. "Long time no see." Jack, a man who looked to be in his 60s and wore glasses, smiled when he saw Taylor greeting him. "Oh, Mrs. Taylor. I haven't seen you for a while. Have you come to buy jewelry from my shop? Or do you intend to take a look at the new products that have just arrived? I have a bag with some gold accessories." Taylor shook his head. "Oh, it's not like that, Mr. Jack. I came with my friend and her children to ask you a favor. Can I take a moment of your time to check on the jewelry?" Mr. Jack nodded his head. "Of course you may, Mrs. Taylor. Loyal customers like you are our priority. Let's see what I can do for you." Mr. Jack is someone Taylor trusts a lot. Every time she bought a bag or jewelry, Taylor used to order from Mr. Jack because he could also see the authenticity of the item by various methods. His expertise was well known in the elite community, so Mr. Jack had many connections f
"Hey! You can't be kidding me. There's no way my jewelry is fake. They're all bought overseas and cost millions of dollars! Don't make this up." Taylor said it so loudly that her neck veins popped out. She glared at Mr. Jack until her eyes wanted to pop out. Mr. Jack looked at Taylor with furrowed brows. "Madam, you know my shop best. This shop is certified to check the authenticity of precious metals and diamonds. There is no way I would give false results to my customers." Taylor remained evasive. "That's impossible. I never use counterfeit goods. You must be in cahoots with Verena Doves and her son-in-law, right? You're trying to bring me down on purpose!" Mr. Jack glared. "Mrs. Taylor, your accusations are outrageous. You may be my loyal customer, but I will not hesitate to kick you out if you behave like that. I am an honest and credible merchant. You can't accuse me without evidence like that!" Taylor hurriedly picked up her cell phone and held it while trembling. "Oh, yo
[Ding!][You succeeded in the mission! You get a bonus of 20 million dollars in your account.]Shawn smiled at the notification. He was happy with his current achievement. He was so happy that he didn't realize that Rachel had pulled his shirt several times."Shawn! Shawn!"Shawn turned to the source of the voice. "Yes, Rachel?"Rachel tilted her head. The butterfly cut woman with curtain bangs pursed her lips slightly. "I know you're great at taking on challenges in your own way like you did just now, but I don't understand how sometimes you smile while looking blankly ahead and also talk to yourself. Go see a doctor later!"Shawn chuckled. "I'm not crazy, Rachel. You'll understand someday."Rachel raised one eyebrow. She was surprised by Shawn's answer. Was his crazy-like demeanor to be tolerated? Why did Rachel need to understand Shawn's strange behavior?Shawn then pulled Rachel's hand. "Let's go shopping!"The three of them continued their shopping. After all, Shawn had gotten th
"Quite a grand first impression." Shawn looked at the building where the party was being held. It turned out to be a very grand building.Shawn saw that there was a red carpet in front. The people who entered were wearing suits and dresses that looked expensive. It was a good thing that Shawn was not the old Shawn. Now Shawn can choose good clothes to wear to a party like this. When Shawn remembers himself back then, he didn't care much about his appearance because he always thought about functionality rather than style.If Shawn bought clothes then he would choose clothes that were comfortable without thinking about whether the clothes were good or not. while other people saw it as something tacky. but Shawn at that time did not care because his money was not enough to buy expensive clothes.When Shawn had money like now, he began to understand that appearance will give a good impression to the people who interact with him, therefore Shawn now always looks good whether it's at home o
