Claude remembered that there were 100 million dollars on the black card. "So, I do come from a rich family?"

Claude looked at the store in front of him, it had been a long time since he had given a present to Olivia-his beautiful wife would definitely be very suitable for a good gift. Claude took a breath from his mouth, this was the first time he had walked into an expensive store, so he was a little nervous that he might make a mistake.

The salesgirl at the store he passed by greeted him kindly. "Good afternoon, please have a look around, sir. We have some nice things."

Claude continued to walk around, looking at bags, shoes, and clothes with famous brands. He didn't know those big brands at all. Claude couldn't decide which one to choose for Olivia's birthday present.

"That's very pretty." Claude stopped when he saw a ring in the jewellery store window.

Claude walked into the jewellery store and approached the display case with two employees chatting there. "Excuse me, I'd like to buy this ring. May I know how much it is?"

The salesgirls there gave Claude a glance, then ignored him. The clothes he was wearing looked rumpled and inexpensive. They were busy chatting as if Claude wasn't there.

"Excuse me." Claude greeted them again, but the two clerks were still chatting.

One of them whispered. "Isn't that guy dangerous if we just leave him alone?"

"Leave him alone. He's just a poor man who likes to watch from a distance. How could he possibly buy jewellery here anyway?" The other employee whispered back sarcastically, sneering at Claude, who still looked tacky looking at the jewellery display.

Claude felt awkward, but also irritated, but he tried to hold it down because he still wanted to get the gift for his wife. "Excuse me, I want to buy that ring. Could you please take it out?"

The two employees behind the counter looked at Claude sarcastically. They looked Claude up and down. "This ring is the most expensive one here. You won't be able to afford it."

The long-haired woman with the annoying face stood up. "Maybe you entered the wrong place. That place suits you better."

The salesgirl pointed at the accessories shop across from the jewellery store. They laughed at Claude.

Some of the employees there also laughed. "Yes, there you can buy a lot of jewelry accessories that are priced within your wallet!"

Claude exhaled, their condescending gazes making his expression cold.

"I walked into the right shop and wanted to buy the ring, you should have given me what I wanted right away."

"You're out of your mind. There, just go! We don't have time to serve you!"

They left, leaving Claude to serve the man who had just come in better dressed. Claude exhaled harshly at their attitude. Is it so difficult to buy something here?

Then his gaze was drawn to another waitress not serving a customer.

"Excuse me, I'd like to buy this ring." Claude pointed at the ring again.

The salesgirl seemed reluctant to serve Claude. She took out another ring from the display case and handed it to Claude without saying anything.

Claude shook his head. "No, but that one." Once again, he pointed at the ring he wanted.

Again, the salesgirl picked up another ring. "This?" Her tone sounded annoyed.

Claude again shook his head with a smile. "No." Claude was already pointing at the correct ring. "This ring."

The salesgirl was getting annoyed. "Are you trying to prank me on purpose? I've already picked up the ring you pointed to twice!"

"You took the wrong ring." Claude answered,staring at her coldly.

The salesgirl snorted in annoyance. "Do you have the money to buy a ring in this shop?"

The salesgirl in the shop laughed. "It's obvious from his appearance that he's poor. He can't afford to shop here."

"Poor people are so insecure!" The salesgirl threw the receipt book rudely in Claude's face.

Claude shook his head,. "You shouldn't be rude to your customers. "

"Customers?" The salesgirl grinned. "What kind of customer should I serve? If you don't have money, you should just leave!"

Another salesgirl arrived, wearing glasses with short hair, her hands clasped together in front of her. She had a sweet face with a whole body that looked sexy, many men liked her, and the other salesgirls were jealous of her. 

She now looked nervous when facing Claude,but still smiled kindly. "Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you? Our shop stocks a wide range of jewelry. Everything is of the finest quality. I saw you pointing to this ring in the display case. May I know which ring you want?"

Claude nodded his head while pointing back towards the ring he liked. "I want to buy this ring."

The salesgirl smiled kindly. "Okay, just a moment, I'll take it out."

Claude watched as the salesgirl politely served him. The badge attached to the left side of the clerk's clothing read Asley's name.

Asley picked up the right ring pointed out by Claude. "Is it this one?"

Claude nodded his head,smiling, "Yes, it is. How much is it?"

"The price of this ring is ...." Before Asley could tell Claude how much the ring cost, her coworkers who were there laughed loudly, making her turn his head towards them.

"What a freak. Have you gone blind? Look at that guy's appearance. It's terrible. You can't pick the right customer!" One of the women ignoring Claude seemed content to mock Asley for serving Claude politely.

Even the couple being served by the two female clerks seemed to hate Claude and were unhappy with Claude's presence there. "So pretentious to ask the ring's price, when you don't have the money to buy it."

"Poor people have a lot of attitude." They acted arrogantly with haughty faces.

"Anyway, why did the security let a guy like him into the store? Did that man want to steal under the pretense of buying? Creepy." Other customers complained and were uncomfortable with Claude's presence.

"I can't believe it. The security in this store is so low that they let him in like that." The husband of the middle-aged woman who bought the jewellery looked sarcastically at Claude.

Hearing what those people said,Claude snorted and looked at Asley,. "Never mind them. Wrap up the ring for me."

Asley nodded her head politely. "Yes, sir.",then picked up the receipt book.

Claude, who was standing in front of Asley, spoke again. "I want to see your manager. Call him immediately."

Asley was a little surprised to hear that. "Ma-manager?"

"Yes. I'd like to see the manager of this shop," Claude repeated.

Asley nodded his head respectfully. "Yes, sir. I will call for you immediately. Please wait a moment." Asley left Claude's presence.

Meanwhile, the salesgirls there laughed and sneered at Claude. "What is that insane person going to do?"

"He wants to see the manager. What a lunatic."

Not long after, Asley arrived with the store manager. The store manager immediately approached Claude. "Can I help you?"

Claude looked at the manager. "I want to buy this store."

    Anne was surprised to see the brand of jewelry on the gift box. "That's a famous jewelry brand that my friends often brag about. It's costly. You can't possibly afford it. It must be a fake ring, right?" Claude shook his head. "No, it's a real ring, ma'am. I bought it directly from the shop for Olivia." Anne snatched the jewelry box from Claude's hand and examined it. "It must be a fake!" She put the box on the dining table. "You insolent son-in-law. You're trying to fool us, aren't you? Do you think we don't know what a real ring looks like? You idiot!" "But this is a real ring, ma'am." Claude defended himself by showing Anne the ring. Anne ruffled her feathers in annoyance. "What do you think we are? It's worth tens of millions of dollars. Do you think we'll believe you? Where do you think you have the money? Just to buy vegetables, you still ask my daughter!" Olivia sighed. She got up and looked at the ring. "Claude, that's not a real ring because I know you can't possibly have

    Claude looked coldly at Marley. "I would never envy someone like you." Marley again pointed his index finger at Claude's face. "Then why are you acting like that?" "I'm the owner of the shop where you bought the jewelry," Claude spoke calmly, not hesitating to face the man in front of him. Anne and Marley laughed again at this. Anne gave Claude a sharp look. "Never mind, stop lying. You'll only embarrass me and Olivia." "I'm not lying, Mom." Claude reiterated to his mother-in-law that he was telling the truth. Marley laughed as he girded his loins. "You think we'll believe you?" He shook his head with a grin. "If you were telling the truth, I'd be licking your feet. Now, where's the proof?" Claude smiled as he pulled his cell phone from his pants pocket and dialed Asley. "Asley." "Yes, sir? Can I help you?" asked Asley kindly from the other side. Claude gave Marley a cold look. "Send me the ten most expensive pieces of jewelry in the store to my house. I'll send you the address

    Marley still did not believe everything Asley said. Even though Marley saw the evidence she brought and the seriousness on the woman's face, she still wouldn't believe it easily. Owning the famous jewellery store was certainly an impossible thing for Claude. Even Marley, who felt he was a great man, could not easily own the jewellery store. And right now, Marley thought Claude was just trying to scare her. If not, it was possible that Claude had dirty tricks or was doing something illegal. Marley, who had been very tense, grinned at Claude and Asley in turn, after which Marley said, "You think I'm a fool and will be scared by your threats? I'm sure you guys have something devious behind all of this." Marley smiled momentarily and then said accusingly, "Have you done something dirty and illegal?" Marley pressed Claude and hoped that he would confess immediately. But he only saw the calmness on Claude's face. "You've been talking big by trying to threaten me, but right now, I'm about

    "Did you hear that? Even he doesn't mind. You should know that all this jewelry will never be able to replace the living expenses while 3he lives in this house." Anne gave Olivia a sharp look. She started closing all the jewelry boxes and arranging them. Afterward, she turned back to Olivia and said, "After all, before this she also said that all of this was a gift for you. I will keep it." Olivia seemed to sigh very heavily. She glanced at Claude and saw her husband, who nodded until finally Olivia felt resigned and accepted all the jewelry until she no longer stopped the actions of her mother, who was now grabbing all the jewelry boxes and taking them away from there. After Anne left, she remembered that she had an appointment with her friends, and then Olivia looked back at Claude. "I'm going to a party my friends are throwing to celebrate my birthday."Claude frowned, then asked Olivia. "Where are you going? Am I going with you?"Olivia immediately nodded. "Of course," Olivia s

    Claude let out a long sigh, and afterwards, he immediately took his eyes off the man after Claude knew that the man was a man who admired his wife.Meanwhile, Erick was still laughing at Claude, who had nothing to be proud of. It was very different from him, who was now wearing very luxurious clothes and a watch wrapped around his hand with a famous brand.Claude took another step to immediately enter the restaurant, but suddenly, Erick took his hand out of his car as if showing the luxury watch he was wearing. Unintentionally, Claude glanced at the arrogant man."I know you must be very jealous of me because you don't have luxury items like me right now." Erick laughed again. He deliberately did not leave his car immediately because Erick wanted to show that he had a luxurious vehicle and was very different from Claude, who did not have anything.Meanwhile, Claude had to hold his steps again, only he didn't look at Erick, who was deliberately blocking his steps. He knew that a man li

    Erick made the announcement on stage. He was still looking at Claude with a smirk on his face because he knew that Claude didn't have anything to donate. Or even if he only contributed a small amount of money, which would certainly embarrass him."Claude, please come to the stage and tell everyone that you'll be donating to this event as well." On the stage, Erick looked at the people below one by one. At this time, Erick could also see Olivia's face, which was filled with sadness. Then he looked back at Claude. "Isn't it your wife's birthday? I think you can make a small donation here."Erick looked at Claude with a sharp and mocking gaze. Especially when Claude remained silent, it made him even more certain that Claude would not be able to contribute anything to this event. Even now, Claude was looking at him with a cold gaze."Why are you just silent and looking at me like that? Come and get on stage and tell everyone if you have money to donate. At the very least, let everyone kno

Even without Seina's knowledge, Bastian was planning something."Bastian, what should we do?" Seina felt panicked. Moreover, the gaze from Bruce seemed to intimidate her."You don't have to worry. This woman and that man will be eliminated at once." Bastian grinned faintly.Of course, he knew Claude would not let Olivia go alone. He would escort Olivia even if Olivia went out with her friend or cousin. He had proven it before.

    By this time, Olivia and Seina had arrived at a large shopping centre in the city. They started walking around the shopping centre and looked very happy.Olivia and Seina walked around, looked at several shops, and chose some items. At first, Olivia offered to pay Seina for some of Seina's shopping, but Seina refused."Olivia, I can pay for it myself. And you don't need to bother doing that at all. Didn't I say I have a black card and can pay for it? Even if you want, you can also take what you want, and I will pay for it for you." Seina assured Olivia. Of course, Saina didn't mind paying Olivia's bill because she was sure that after this, she would take Olivia's place as the queen of the Drakena family. And she would get much more than what was spent on Olivia. Meanwhile, Olivia shook her head. "Oh, that's not necessary at all. I'll pay for it myself."Olivia felt happy and thought that Seina had really changed. She only regretted her mother because her mother still thought that Se

    Seina was currently feeling very upset. How could it be that after what she did, Claude wasn't tempted by her at all? Claude continued to look at her with a sinister look. And without hesitation, Claude also spoke in a coarse voice to her.But Seina recalled her purpose for coming to this house. And, of course, she would not waste her time until she continued to try to get Claude, and of course, Seina was currently still acting very sweetly."Alright, I'll get out of this room. But don't forget about my offer to you, Claude." Seina spoke in a very soft voice. She even winked her eyes and wanted to attract Claude's attention again. But it was useless because the cloud did not feel tempted by what Seina was doing. The rest of it just felt so disgusted with Seina."Claude, I'm ready to be your second wife. Once again, I will assure you that you will feel fortunate to have two beautiful wives at once. I assure you that you will not regret making me a second wife. I am not only a beautiful

It was already very late, but Claude couldn't sleep, so he went to his office and did some work.Claude sat in his chair and stared at the computer screen in front of him with a severe face until the door of the room opened, and it was Olivia who came in.Cloude stopped the movement of his fingers that previously looked agile on the computer keyboard. Then he looked at Olivia and spoke, "Olivia, why are you here? Haven't you been sleeping?"Olivia shook her head. Then she walked over to her husband and held Claude's shoulders. Then she spoke, "Why are you here? You should go to bed, Claude. You have been doing a lot of work all day, and it will surely make you feel tired."Claude shook his head. He smiled and spoke, "I had fun doing some of this work, and I don't feel tired at all, so there is no need to worry."Claude held Olivia's hand. She looked at Olivia and looked up slightly. "Olivia, it's late, and you should get some rest now. It's not good

    After enjoying some dishes, Seina cast her eyes over every corner of the room. There were several small items that were very beautiful. And she was very sure if those items had a costly price. She even saw small items that came from a diamond, and some of them were also plated with gold. This is a very extraordinary thing. Everyone was admiring everything in front of him.Olivia saw her cousin, who seemed to be interested in all the furniture in the house. So she spoke, "Seina, do you want to look around the house? I could take you around and see everything here." Olivia made an offer.Seina, of course, nodded her head. She was so excited that she said, "Yes, of course I want to. Everything here is so amazing, and I've never seen it before. I'd love it if you'd show me around. Let's go right now." The woman was so enthusiastic. She quickly exited her spot and couldn't wait to see everything inside the Drakena family's main house.Olivia nodded, and they all got up and left the room. T

    That night, Seina received a message from Olivia, and she said that Olivia had convinced her husband. And her husband had allowed Seina to come to his house. This, of course, made Seina feel very happy.She looked at her cell phone and was still reading the messages from Olivia. Then she spoke, "Olivia, you're foolish. Look at me coming and snatching your husband very quickly."The next day, Seina was ready early in the morning. She couldn't wait to get to Dracena's house. By now, she had imagined how marvelous Dracena's house would be. She had often heard about it, and some people said that Dracena's main house even exceeded a palace.Then she called Olivia. After the call was answered by Olivia, she immediately spoke, "Olivia, I have prepared. I can't wait to meet you and meet your mother. That way, we can talk. And I think it's going to be a lot of fun." She spoke with great enthusiasm.But of course, the main thing that made her feel impatient was that she wanted to get the action

    Seina met Bastian again. They met in a very private place. Of course, that was all Bastian wanted. He didn't want anyone from Claude to know that he had escaped the deserted island.They are currently sitting and facing each other in a dimly lit room. And, of course, since yesterday, Bastian had not shown his true face. He used some fake things to cover his true identity. Because if his true identity got out again and he was seen wandering around in crowded places, of course, it would make him known to Claude again. And Bastian certainly didn't want that.Bastian settled towards Seina, and then he spoke, "Tell me, have you done it very neatly? And make sure that the woman still believes in you." Bastian said in a firm voice."Take it easy. I have done it just as you said. But I'm sick of pretending to be nice to that woman. Because I hate her so much, but fine, to destroy that woman, I will do everything very well." She spoke very confidently.Bastian, who was in front of her, nodde

    She had been watching Olivia from a distance. Until the moment when she saw Olivia, who returned alone, Seina smiled with a sly face."Olivia, soon you will get your reward. You will have a life of suffering because I will soon become your husband's wife. And after that, I will ensure you will be wasted." She smiled bitterly.The thought of becoming Claude's wife made Seina's face very eager to destroy Olivia. She had even imagined being able to live like a queen who everyone would serve. And, of course, after that, she would get whatever she wanted just by mentioning it.The woman smiled again. Then she spoke, "Olivia, just wait. You will pay so dearly soon."The woman walked very carefully and stood in front of Olivia again. "Hi, Olivia?" her cousin greeted Olivia very gently.Olivia turned her eyes to stare at the woman who had just arrived. She looked at her with a cold face. Then Olivia looked away and spoke, "Did you come because you want to fight with me again?" Olivia said in

    At this time, Saina saw Olivia, who was alone, so she immediately walked to approach Olivia. Olivia, who realized the arrival of her cousin, immediately smiled very kindly. "Hi seina. I'm thrilled to meet you."The woman smiled sarcastically. She knew that right now, whatever Olivia was showing was just a pretense. She hated Olivia so much that even though everything Olivia did looked good, of course, she didn't want to be fooled by Olivia's innocent face."Olivia, how about your current life? Are you spending so much money and enjoying life that you don't care about your big family? Even you have completely forgotten them." Her cousin deliberately mentioned Green's family. And, of course, her cousin knew about the enmity between the Dracena family and their extended family.Olivia watched her cousin. She didn't understand why her cousin was deliberately talking about her extended family. Finally, Olivia understood that maybe her cousin wanted to provoke Olivia's anger.Olivia continu
