"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
"So this young man knows Lord Darius well? That's something I didn't expect." As far as Christopher knew, Lord Darius was not someone who would open up to others that easily, because he was a very rich man so most people approached him because they wanted his money. That made Lord Darius not trust people easily.Christopher Smith smiled slightly after hearing Lord Darius' confession. "Oh, I haven't heard about that. I didn't know that anyone had ever saved your life."Lord Darius raised one eyebrow with a smile. "Yes. I've never said that to anyone. However, I don't have the right to always cover it up either. This young man saved me once when I was drowning in a lake. I don't know what happened, but he obviously rescued me from the lake and took me to the hospital. What's even more surprising is that this young man didn't even recognize who I was. Aren't honest young men like this becoming rare? "Christopher Smith smiled doubtfully after hearing that. Not only did Shawn not recogniz
People slowly opened their eyes. When they looked toward the stage, they found that many large pieces of metal had fallen right onto the spot where Lord Darius was standing. It turned out that there were two people who were hit by the pile of heavy iron. Everyone shouted and tried to help, but the name they shouted was Darius'. "Lord Darius! Are you alright?" "Lord Darius! Answer us!" All the shouting sounded faintly in Darius' ears. He slowly opened his eyes. His vision was a little dim and blurry. When he held his forehead, there was blood flowing and dripping. "Huh? I hurt my head?" He vaguely heard the sound of heavy breathing nearby, as well as some metal scraping. Lord Darius closed his eyes and took a deep breath so that his vision could return soon. When he opened his eyes, he could clearly see what was happening. As it turned out, the sounds of heavy breathing and metal scraping were coming from Shawn. The young man was holding the metal using his back to keep it fro
After about 3 hours of surgery, Shawn finally passed the critical period. The doctor said that Shawn would wake up a few hours later. This made Rachel and Lord Darius relieved to hear it. Until the second day, Shawn had not regained consciousness and Rachel continued to wait for Shawn there since Shawn was moved to the infirmary. While Lord Darius went back and forth visiting as if he was also uneasy about Shawn's condition. Earlier Verena returned home then the morning of the second day she returned to the hospital and saw Rachel still there. She went to Rachel and complained about her head. "Rachel, you don't have to push yourself, you're so pregnant you shouldn't push yourself to wait for Shawn. We can take turns." Rachel shook her head while smiling forcefully. "I'm fine mom, I have to wait here until the year comes to its senses. I've left the office to Jerome, so I can focus on waiting for Shawn to wake up." Verena let out a long breath. "You need to pay attention to you
