“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.
***** A greedy look instantly appeared on the middle-aged man's face as he feast voraciously at Fiona with his eyes which was instantly seen by Christiana, then she became angered yo the core.Within the blink of an eye, her face became completely dark.‘Thankfully, my boyfriend only have me in his eyes, or else this whore would have also enticed him.’Just as Christiana thought this, she casted her gaze to John, then she became dumbfounded for a while before her eyes widen and her heart began to tremble as she saw her usually innocent boyfriend currently gazing dreamily at Fiona, then she lost it.If it wasn’t because she doesn’t want to cause a drama right now, Christiana would have screamed furiously at Fiona and chase her out.Fearfully, Christiana stepped beside to her boyfriend and suddenly pinched him hard on his arm.Feeling the sudden pain, John's eyes immediately regained clarity, but just as he was about to yelp in pain, he sa
***** His body trembling all over, Alan Bottoms gazed at Curtly fearfully, then killing intents began to flash in his eyes.Suddenly, he breathed out heavily, then his eyes began to bore deeply into Curtly's, he uttered quietly while gnashing his teeth against each other. “This thing you are doing, aren’t you scared it could send you to your demise?”Feeling the undisguised threat in Alan Bottoms' voice, Curtly only continued smiling without showing any expression of being scared on her face.“Well… well, young master Bottoms, as I said earlier, the choice is yours to take.” Still smiling brightly, Curtly said to Alan Bottoms professionally before pausing slightly.“Oh, also. Meeting you tonight is actually a coincidence, well, a good coincidence, because I was only thinking of how to meet you in a faked coincidental way before, who would have thought you are going to make that possible and even easier for me without trying.”Finished fearlessly,
**** “Is… is that a real diamond?” With her eyes suddenly filled with flying stars, one of the ladies present suddenly questioned no one subconsciously “Wow! This diamond is real! It must have cost a lot of fortune!” Even Christiana and her mother couldn’t help but become filled to the brim with shock as they gaze at the ring. Christiana watched with her mouth wide open as John took her hand gently and inserted the ring into her engagement finger which fitted in perfectly. Suddenly, someone clapped, breaking the deep silence within the hall. Hearing this, everybody also joined, then in no time, the hall became filled with clapping sounds. As for Nancy right now, her entire being is presently filled with joy. “Hahaha, my daughter has made me proud, this is great!” She began to jump around the hall and show off to her friends who began to congratulate her excitedly. All of a sudden, just as she was about to skip happily past Sally and
**** “I’m very sorry that I’m late!” At first, the place descended into a heavier silence after this unexpected voice sounded, but after a while, everybody spun toward the door, gazing judgmentally at the unexpected visitor. But the moment Fiona, Sally, and Christiana saw the visitor, their eyes widen in shock. Suddenly, an excited voice rang within the heavy silence. “Sister Curt!!! Is that you, when did you get back?” Like a little huge squirrel, Christiana suddenly rushed to the beautiful lady smiling at everybody after the door. Just as she reached her, Christiana jumped like someone who has a spring under the sole of her shoes into the beautiful lady's arm. “Sister Curt, you didn’t tell me that you would be back today even though we still communicated last week?” She pouted. Right now, the smile on Curtly's face has changed entirely and has become harmless and very beautiful. Hugging Christiana who is presently in her arms tightly,
