In the courtyard of Reed Regency, Adam parked his car in the designated parking lot. He quickly took Anna's hand and entered the lobby of the property company.

The spacious room was full of marble and decorated with bright, sparkling lights. There were many staff members walking around, and some were standing guard at the reception desk.

Without wasting time, Adam went straight to the reception desk and asked about his needs. Politely, he said, "Excuse me, can I see the apartment units you have?"

Two women in neat clothes and long hair tied behind their backs exchanged glances at each other when they saw Adam.

Many people didn't know about the gossip from the elite family. But, it seemed they recognized Adam, who was known as the useless son-in-law of the McLauren family.

Their faces immediately turned sour and unfriendly, staring at Adam with disgust. Then, one of them spoke in a condescending tone, "Oh, aren't you the son-in-law of the McLauren family? What brings you here? Looking

    The woman with a sharp and intimidating gaze spoke in a condescending tone to Adam, "Are you serious? Our grandmother is too precious to receive something that has fallen to the ground. Isn't that right?" She asked her husband and other brother.The second son-in-law nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Adam, buy a new gift. Something equivalent to what we bought for Grandma. That's what it means to be an McLauren family son-in-law!"Marry chimed in again, speaking in a demeaning tone, "Moreover, a cheap vase as a birthday gift is too simple. Are you intentionally insulting Grandma in front of so many people?"Insulting? The price of that vase was actually very expensive! I almost used up all my savings!Seeing her husband cornered, Anna stepped forward and spoke firmly, "Enough! Are you insulting my husband just because of a gift?

    The chubby man who lodged the complaint spoke up in annoyance, "You are trying to deceive me. I can take legal action if you refuse to compensate me for the full amount."Adam turned to the man and said politely, "Sir, please calm down. We will examine it first."The man with a fierce expression looked at Adam as if recalling something, then spoke spontaneously, "Aren't you that poor son-in-law of the McLauren family? Oh my, haha." Suddenly, he laughed.Adam furrowed his brow in confusion. "What's so funny about that?"The chubby man continued his words after he stopped laughing, mockingly, "You know? I know some people who work at the mansion of that wealthy family. And they can't stop gossiping about you. The pathetic man living off the youngest granddaughter. If I were you, I would be so ashamed and wouldn't have the courage to show my face in public. You are truly a useless low-life. Tell me, what's the charm you use to win the heart of a rich girl? I want to try it."Adam couldn'

    Everyone there was shocked and watching, those who knew about Adam started to gossip about him."Fraud, he say? That's a criminal act!""He looks so handsome, but I never expected him to do something shameful.""Isn't the money from his wife enough? He's the son-in-law of a wealthy and renowned family, how could he stoop so low?""Don't you know? He comes from the streets, no wonder his true nature shows."Feeling encouraged by the surroundings, the chubby man started to provoke Adam again. He spoke in a condescending manner, "You're just embarrassing your wife's family. You fraudster! Isn't it enough that you're milking the McLauren fortune? Now you're deceiving people for money? How pathetic!"Adam clenched his fists in anger. He was on the verge of hitting the man and finishing him off. But he held back. He knew that violence wouldn't solve anything.So, cleverly, he called one of his employees and said, "Bring the CCTV footage when this man came to the store. Also, bring our inspe

    Edwin nodded slightly, saying, "I've contacted her, but I didn't mention your injury. I told her the store was a mess, and you stayed overnight to clean it up."Adam looked relieved, recalling the events from the party yesterday. "Anna has had enough trouble because of me. This shouldn't bother her."Edwin patted his friend's shoulder gently, saying, "I understand, buddy."Adam sighed, staring at his palm, feeling something odd. About the strange stone, Adam couldn't stop thinking about it. He then spoke to Edwin, "I feel like something is bothering me right now."Edwin looked at him curiously, asking, "What is it? Is it about the scam scheme?"Adam looked back at his friend, then replied, "No, it's about the jade statue I broke. I remember there was a large piece stuck here," he pointed to his empty palm.Edwin remembered something, then reached into his pocket. He handed a small object to Adam, "This stone? You've been holding onto it all the time. I thought it was valuable, so I ke

    His spirits instantly dampened, with a weary expression and a weak sigh, Edwin looked at his friend and said despairingly, "Well, I guess we'll just watch. It's impossible to get anything with him here."Adam simply nodded quietly, responding in the same despondent tone, "You're right."Meanwhile, Anna gazed at the two gloomy men with confusion. She asked her husband curiously, "What's wrong?"Adam shook his head, smiled, and calmly replied, "It's nothing. Isn't this your first time in a place like this? You'll see crazy people throwing their money away for something old." He playfully pinched his wife's cheek.Anna's fair face blushed with embarrassment. A hint of red spread to her ears. She gently punched Adam's chest, covering her embarrassment, and said, "Stop it. You're one of those crazy people too, Adam." The beautiful woman then laughed.The footsteps of the elderly man stopped next to Anna. He turned and greeted the granddaughter of the McLauren family in a flirtatious voice,

    Adam looked hesitant, remembering that he had used most of his savings to buy a gift for his grandmother's birthday yesterday. But if he borrowed money from Edwin, it should be enough.So, he turned to his friend and said, "I want to get this one, please lend me some money."Edwin looked surprised to hear that, and he said anxiously, "Are you serious? That's a lot of money, Adam! Are you sure?"Adam nodded confidently.Suddenly, the old Louis raised his number and bid high, "Two million dollars."Adam felt a bit nervous, but he still couldn't bid any higher. He raised his number and bid, "Two million one hundred thousand."People looked towards him, as did Louis. So far, no one had dared to challenge the old collector, because when he made a bid, it meant he wouldn't let go of the item for anyone, no matter the price he had to pay.Louis bid again, his voice loud, "Two million five hundred thousand."All attendees were surprised, doubting if Adam could bid higher than the elderly seni

    Rossa served Adam very efficiently, even though she was a new employee, she quickly learned during the training period. It was not difficult for her to assist Adam in completing the car sales documents and the registration for the super exclusive membership. Initially, she was hesitant, but when Adam insisted on her assistance, she gathered courage and became confident."Alright, sir. Please enter your transaction pin, and this will be done soon." She handed the card swipe machine to Adam, and Adam happily entered his secret pin.Rossa smiled broadly, although her hands were slightly trembling while holding the machine, she was very happy. Then she spoke cheerfully again, "Your total transaction is forty million dollars, including tax and the deposit for the super exclusive member card. As the highest-ranking member, you receive special benefits. You get a lifetime of free service and exclusive notifications when limited edition luxury cars arrive. You can also order your custom-desig

    Rossa, upon hearing that, immediately felt annoyed and spoke boldly, "Didn't you have a buyer earlier? Why do you now want to take what's mine?"Jane, upon hearing that, immediately became bad mood. She didn't get a single penny from the creepy fat man, instead, she was harassed by being continuously kissed and hugged without consent. Unfortunately, the man didn't end up buying a single car. This made her angry.Furthermore, Rossa got lucky out of nowhere by getting a rich client who bought expensive cars without caring about losing a lot of money. He must not be from the usual elite class, so Jane decided to snatch him so she could get a big tip.Jane arrogantly said, "What belongs to you? Important clients are usually served by experienced seniors like me. Not by interns from the countryside who don't know anything. They might end up disappointed with the service here and not make a purchase. Isn't that right, boss?" She glanced at the manager.The manager, not wanting to argue with

    Exclusive and expensive cars, as well as some limited editions from renowned brands, were neatly lined up in a room with bright and dazzling lights. The cars were sparkling and looked very elegant. Even Anna, who was from an elite background in this city, was amazed by what she saw.Meanwhile, Adam was speechless, mesmerized, and did not speak for a while as he continued to admire the beauty of the human-made vehicles.Rossa, who had only been to this VIP place a few times, was somewhat worried. There were actually many unwritten rules about employees entering this area. One of them was not to bring just anyone in to look around, as there might be a risk of cars getting scratched or other unpleasant incidents. If any damage occurred, the employee would be immediately fired.But Rossa quickly brushed off her worries and returned to smiling, serving Adam and his wife.She said politely, "Sir, we have some super rare collections here. I can help you see them if you'd like."Upon hearing

    Rossa wasn't usually one to stand up against others. However, she knew that Jane had crossed the line as a staff member, so she spoke up firmly, "Miss Branches, please do not behave like that. Even if Mr. Adam cannot buy in cash, they can still finance the car they desire."Jane scoffed cynically and retorted, "Rossa, what you should be looking for are wealthy individuals who are willing to buy cars in cash with generous tips. That way, you'll receive a substantial bonus. Unlike installment plans, which only give you a small amount when they make payments. It's too long and not worth it."Bravely, Rossa replied, "That's fine. I don't mind if my clients choose to finance the car they want. I'm not as greedy as you."Angrily, Jane sneered and spoke in an irritated tone, "Oh, look who's talking, a loser from the countryside. If you've forgotten, I'll remind you. Some limited edition cars cannot be financed. So, make sure they don't touch what they can't afford."Rossa was furious, as was

    Adam and Anna arrived at the latest car showroom, where Rossa warmly showcased each collection. Adam looked amazed, as he had never seen such sleek and elegant cars displayed there before. Surely, the prices were not cheap!He gazed at his wife, who also seemed pleased, and joyfully said, "Darling, let's choose one. Which one do you like among these cars?"Anna looked puzzled, afraid of making a wrong choice and causing Adam to lose a lot of money. But, this was the first luxury item her husband had given her since their wedding ring. She couldn't miss this opportunity.With confidence, Anna exclaimed after seeing a shiny red car and pointed towards it, saying, "Darling, that one is very nice. Don't you think so? Can I choose that one?"Rossa enthusiastically explained the specifications of the car Anna chose, saying, "A great choice, Madam. That is the latest BMW XM model of this year. It costs five hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Very elegant and suits you well."Adam nodded agr

    Adam smiled broadly, he rarely saw Anna this happy, so he spoke again with enthusiasm, "Of course I'm serious, dear. How about now? Do you want to buy a car? Or a house? Just say it." Adam looked confident.Anna, still in disbelief, immediately put her spoon on the plate and stood up in a hurry. She said joyfully, "I will dress up first. Wait for me dear." She then hurriedly went to the room.Adam laughed at his wife's funny behavior, like a girl going on a first date, so enthusiastic and full of spirit.While waiting, Adam ate his food. He finished all the food Anna made on the table.He then saw a notification on his phone screen, a personal message came in.Adam opened the message, and it said,"It's me, Aaron. Can you come to my place tomorrow?"And Adam quickly replied, "Yes, of course."After finishing their lunch, Adam took Anna to the most exclusive car showroom in Reed city, Royal Car. The place was very luxurious and spacious, and of course, the most popular. The elite alway

    After meeting Lucy, Adam returned to his small house on the outskirts of Reed near the Barbaros River. The housing where he lived could be considered remote and far from luxurious. Most of the residents there were retired war veterans and teachers with low pension funds.Adam chose to live here since he was expelled from the McLauren family a month after his marriage. Fortunately, Anna had a little money saved from her late grandfather. So, they could open a store and pay off this house in installments.The cost of living in this city is not cheap, sometimes when the store is quiet, Adam cannot pay the house installments. They were almost evicted some time ago, but fortunately, someone was willing to lend them money.Now Adam doesn't have to worry about the house installments and his and Anna's livelihood. He can easily pay off the house with the money given by his aunt. Or maybe, he can buy more than that. Why not? He has a lot of money now.As Adam entered, he saw his wife cooking l
