Mei's eyes widened in shock. "A new house?" she repeated, barely able to believe what she was hearing. "Yes, Auntie Mei," Eunice confirmed. "It's all part of the plan." Mei raised her hands in a gesture to halt them, her suspicion still evident. "Wait, wait. Which charity organization are you people from?" Eunice smiled warmly and replied, "Actually, we're from Gemstar Platinum." "Gemstar? Hmm, which company is that?" Mei asked, her brow furrowed in confusion. Eunice chuckled softly, "Auntie, Gemstar is a company in Sandalwood. It's actually the leading company there.” "Sandalwood?" Mei's face lit up with a smile. "My son stays in Sandalwood. He must know the company then." Eunice nodded but didn't elaborate further. Even she didn't know that Mei's son, Ambrose, was the chairman of Gemstar. "That's great, Auntie Mei. We're here to help, and we'll make sure everything is taken care of.” Eunice looked at Mei with a reassuring smile. "Auntie Mei, you shouldn't worry abo
Ava, feeling embarrassed and flustered as bystanders began to gather around, nodded nervously. "I'm sorry, very sorry. It was a mistake, my fault, I understand.” The lady scoffed, unrelenting. "Your apologies mean nothing. You're a careless driver, endangering others on the road. I could have you reported and your license revoked. Do you understand the consequences of your actions?” "I didn't mean to," Ava stammered, trying to diffuse the situation. "I'll take care of the repairs, I promise.” The lady turned back abruptly, her expression firm and unwavering. "I'm not interested in repairs. I just bought this car early this morning, and now look at it!" She gestured angrily at the damaged front light. "You're going to buy me a new one." Ava's heart sank as she realized the magnitude of the request. The type of Audi the lady owned would cost nothing less than $100,000, far beyond what she could afford. Panic began to set in, her mind racing for a solution. "I-I don't have that kind
The lady chuckled and said, "You made her leave trying to protect her? Well, I don't care. You'll pay for it then, and if you don't, there's no way you're leaving here. Trust me."Ambrose nodded and said, "You're right. Making her leave was just my duty as her husband, trying to protect my beautiful, loving wife. As for your car, don't worry. It's not even expensive; I'll fix everything.""What do you mean by it's not expensive? Are you blind to know that it's an Audi R8? Do you know the cost? Or do you think it's the same value as the old car you people hit mine with?”"Look, I don't have the energy to be dragging things with you. You said your car is new and you need a new one instead of a fix, right?" Ambrose asked."Yes, I did say so, and you are going to do it before you leave," she said."Relax. If I decide not to do it, there's nothing you can do about that. Don't worry, I'll do as you want," he said with a
William added, "We've always said he wasn't good enough for you, Ava. This just proves it."Ava felt tears welling up in her eyes. "I can't believe you two. Ambrose has done nothing but try to make things better today. He was worried about me and made me leave rather than staying to take the blame. You don't know him like I do.”Ava rubbed her hand through her hair, her voice trembling. "What do I do?"Elizabeth, her face lined with concern, asked, "How much does an Audi cost?"Ava sighed heavily. "It would be more than $100,000, which we can't afford."Elizabeth's eyes widened in shock. "Oh God, what do we do now?"Elizabeth, still holding Ava, asked again, "Wait, aren't you supposed to just repair the car? Why does she want a new one?"Ava shook her head, frustration evident in her eyes. "The lady demanded a new car because hers is brand new. She said a repair wouldn't be enough.”
The rich lady stood there, watching the Audi R8 disappear into the distance. She was stunned, her mind racing. "Who is this guy?" she muttered to herself, her anger and frustration now replaced with curiosity and bewilderment.She glanced around at the onlookers, who were equally baffled and impressed. "He looked so simple," she continued, shaking her head. "Until his wife left, I had no idea he was capable of such a grand gesture."The murmurs from the crowd echoed her thoughts. "Whoever he is, he must be incredibly rich," one person speculated. "Did you see how easily he handled that situation?"The lady, still in a daze, sighed deeply. She realized she had underestimated Ambrose entirely. "I suppose I should count myself lucky," she thought, "to have crossed paths with someone so extraordinary, even if it was under such unusual circumstances.”Meanwhile, after driving away from the crowd to a quieter place, Ambrose stopped the car and turned to the sales lady. "Thank you for your
Ambrose hesitated for a moment, realizing he had nothing to physically prove his claim. "I don't have a card with me, but I assure you, I'm expected."The driver sighed deeply. "Without proof, I can't risk it. You need to understand, this isn't just about you. If I take you there without any evidence, it could mean big trouble for both of us.”Ambrose watched the driver start to pull away, then called out, "Wait!"The driver stopped and looked back. "What is it now?""How much do you make in a month?" Ambrose asked.The driver looked puzzled but answered, "I make about $1,000 a month. Why?"Ambrose nodded thoughtfully. "Good. If you drive me there, I'll give you that monthly salary as your payment. $1,000 for one trip.”The driver's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you serious?""Completely serious," Ambrose said, pulling out his phone. "I'll transfer the money to you right now if you need proof."The driver hesitated for a moment, then noddedAmbrose took out his phone and began tappin
The two men in military uniforms quickly recognized Anna's voice and gulped before one of them said, "Hello, Madam Anna, he's here but we wanted to confirm.""Let him in. How dare you stop him? Do you know who he is?" Anna's cold voice pierced through the speaker.The men nodded, slightly shaken, and handed Ambrose his phone back before they both saluted and said, "You can go on.”The driver was shocked. Although he hadn't heard the conversation, seeing Ambrose being saluted was enough to tell him that he had indeed been allowed in. Could it be that Ambrose truly had an invitation? But why would they salute him, even if it was just a normal invitation? The driver questioned himself.Ambrose opened the car door, sat down, and said to the driver, "Drive forward."The driver nodded and began driving towards the big mansion itself. He looked at Ambrose and asked, "You really did have an invitation?”Ambrose nodded. "Well, I
A white Corolla pulled up and entered the Ainsley Manor compound, coming to a stop in the driveway. Jonathan Hale stepped out of the car, dressed in a well-fitted Chinese outfit that exuded elegance and class. His attire was complemented by a sleek watch and stylish shades, adding to his polished appearance.Jonathan walked to the front door and knocked. When the door opened, he stepped inside, drawing the attention of everyone in the room. Grandma Margaret and the others were visibly stunned."Oh, Jonathan, you are here," Grandma Margaret said, standing up with a delighted expression. "You didn't even inform us you were coming. Ah, you look very handsome."Jonathan nodded and smiled. "I hope you all are well. Actually, I'm here to pick Ava up for lunch."Hearing this, Elizabeth frowned. "My daughter is very busy. She was involved in something that has made her busy, so I don't think she'll agree to lunch.”"
