“He should have been arrested, right?”Presently, Alan Bottoms could be seen sunbathing beside a swimming pool, even though the sun has already set.“It should have been Six pm already, right?”His face suddenly furrowed, then instantly, he sat up straight.Stretching like a lazy cat, he picked up his phone which was on a stool beside him, and checked its screen.“Wasn’t it 5:20 the last time I checked, how could it still be 5:25, why is time extremely slow today?” He murmured disappointedly to himself before he returned the phone and laid himself down again.‘Getting to the venue earlier would make it look like I’m desperate, and that doesn’t befit my status.' Alan Bottoms thought with a slight smile on his face, then he shut his eyes again to enjoy the after-sun heat.Suddenly, Alan Bottoms heard rushed footsteps approaching him, but apart from only straining his ears, he acted as if he heard nothing.“Young Master, you are here,”*****“I’m honestly disappointed in you,” he began emotionlessly.“I’ve thought you were already a disappointment since you couldn’t achieve anything with your life, but female?” His voice suddenly became filled with disgust.“Females that are so useless, you couldn’t even get them? It wasn’t even one from a powerful family, but a third-rated family. You are such a disappointment.”Hearing his father’s words, it was as if Alan Bottoms was getting sliced slowly with a dead-edged knife.Unexplainable pain, anger, and unwillingness filled him, but he couldn’t do anything other than listen.Of cause, the middle-aged man noticed all this, but he doesn’t give a single damn.After making his second son realize how extremely useless he is and would be with hundreds of words, the middle-aged man finally calmed down and sighed heavily.“I’m giving you only one week, you must get that girl and marry her.”Alan Bottoms, “_”He finally couldn’t
***** Rex Magnus couldn’t help but become confused after hearing his mother-in-law's strange question and seeing the strange look she was giving him, then he scratched his head awkwardly.“Of cause not, mother. I know clearly that we are attending a gathering of your friend's daughter’s wedding proposal ceremony”Immediately Sally heard this, a contemptuous look appeared on her face, then she thought for a while before smiling mockingly.“Well, you dressing like this is not necessarily a bad thing, it would only make people know clearly your position,” she uttered jovially before skipping to her room, leaving behind the confused Rex Magnus.Not understanding what his mother-in-law meant, Rex Magnus checked himself from his chest to his feet, then he shook his head speechlessly.“She was initially an extraordinary being, why would I even bother myself understanding her in the first place?” Rex Magnus muttered sarcastically to himself before he f
“Sister Nancy, your daughter surely is extremely lucky to have got herself hooked with such a wealthy man,” A woman who was dressed in a weird-looking evening gown with heavy makeup on her face and strong perfume on her body suddenly sang dreamily to the woman beside her. Hearing this, the woman addressed as Nancy became excited, but still, she acted like it was nothing much. “You surely are praising my daughter too much, elder sister Jama,” Nancy waved dismissively. “Sister Nancy, please don’t stand on ceremony. I also envy your daughter's luck to be able to find herself such a wealthy man. How I wish my little brat was able to find herself such a wealthy man like your daughter instead of the ordinary civil servant she married.” Nancy's lips abruptly twitched after hearing the speaker. Turning her gaze to the woman, Nancy's eyes flashed slightly. “Why would you also mock me, Elder Sister Kara? How could you call your son-in-law who's a leader of his un
***** “I’m very sorry, John. We were delayed by traffic, but you shouldn't worry, we would be there very soon.” The moment Christiana heard this, her heart trembled and her eyes widen, then she quickly pointed at the Old Man with his mouth wide open. Seeing this, the middle-aged man didn’t understand what message Christiana was trying to pass to him, so he gestured for her to wait for him. After talking for several minutes, the middle-aged man eventually dropped the call, then without waiting for him to speak, Christiana was already asking her question. “Was… was that my… my boyfriend?” The middle-aged man instantly smiled apologetically before explaining. “Yes. He told me to help him take you somewhere, but since you were too beautiful, I couldn’t control my urge, so…” He smiled embarrassedly. “It's okay then, I guess we should go get dressed.” Christiana who heard the middle-aged man telling her how beautiful she was immediately smiled brightly, then
*****“They should be here already, right?”At this moment, Alan Bottoms who was inside his red Ferrari car could be seen gazing intently at the gigantic skyscraper before him with his brows tightly furrowed in deep thought.Alan Bottoms arrived more than an hour ago, but because he doesn’t want to look desperate, he stayed inside in his car to consume time, but he couldn’t sit still anymore.“More than an hour has already passed since the stipulated time anyways, so I shouldn’t look desperate to her anymore, right?”He thought for a while before he eventually made up his mind.“Whatever, I would just call and ask if they are here already, then I would decide whether to stay or go.”Muttering this to himself, Alan Bottoms' tightly furrowed brows released, then he picked up his mobile phone, but before he could search for the person he was going to call, Alan Bottoms heard a knock on the window beside him.Utterly startled, Alan Bottoms raised
****" “Wow!!! This is really an 8-star hotel!!” Right now, Sally who was seated at the back of the new car could be seen gasping in amazement as she gazed at the building before her in utter wonder. Gazing at Sally as she looked around with unrest, it was as if she was only barely holding herself back right now from rushing toward everything, making Rex Magnus who was driving the car speechless after seeing his mother-in-law like this through the rear mirror. ‘What’s so special about this building though?’ Rex Magnus gave the skyscraper before him a bored glance before shaking his head. ‘If mother-in-law is acting like this after seeing this little mice house, what would she do if she was to see the heavens' ladder in Celestial Capital?’ Recalling the place, Rex Magnus suddenly couldn’t help but start looking forward to the day. Then while looking for where to park, Rex Magnus couldn’t help but look at his wife also through the real mirror, then he
****Back outside.Right now, the area near the entrance has become several times more crowded than earlier, with everybody gazing interestingly at what is going on.“I say we don’t welcome drivers tonight, you can come back tomorrow or wait outside for your boss.”The security guard mocked Rex Magnus again for the umpteenth time today, but Rex Magnus doesn’t say anything again.Although this, Rex Magnus' eyes have turned completely cold and emotionless right now.He watched as the guard before him continue taunting him while his mind continued thinking of the several things he could do in his mind.After a while, he took in a deep breath before calming himself. “How many times do you need me to tell you I’m not a driver, that rather, I'm here with my wife and mother-in-law?”Hearing this, everybody watching the scene right now immediately glanced at Rex Magnus with disgust in their eyes.‘Ever since I’ve been coming here, this is the fi
***** Sally, Fiona, and Rex Magnus, including everybody inside the hall immediately became dumbfounded when they heard Nancy's, but due to different reasons.Hearing the question which was just asked by Nancy, the people inside instantly inched forward to check things themselves, then the moment they saw the duo behind Sally, their eyes widen.“Did she just bring her entire family to the gathering she was invited?”One of the women presents asked with a shocked face.“Hahaha, what sort of shamelessness is this?”“Why would someone bring their entire family to a place like this?”“Perhaps, she thought of using this opportunity to show them what real wealth is and to widen their eyes to great things.”Some people muttered to themselves in shock while others mocked without any care in the world amongst themselves.As for Sally who was being mocked and talked about, right now, she was busily staring at Nancy with her mouth wide open.
