Joan immediately flashed a smile at Mo Lan."Oh little boy, I'm his fr.." she began to say when Anthony quickly cut her off."I don't know who she is. Don't talk to strangers, the world is not a good place," Anthony chastised, carrying Mo Lan up in his arms, while walking towards Bing Yu.Joan blushed in embarrassment, clenching her fists. Lots of people witnessed her disgrace, filling her with fury. Her only consolation was that they couldn't understand Chinese, unlike her who was multilingual due to her wealthy background."Young master, who is she? She seems to know you, why did you ignore her? Did you guys quarrel?" Bing Yu asked, walking beside him."She's no one important, you don't have to worry yourself about her." Anthony quickly reassured, making Joan feel like digging a hole to hide herself.She watched as Chan Feng and the driver walked towards him, staring enviously as the driver bowed before him, before carrying Mo Lan away."Who is the little boy? Is that his son?" Joan
Anthony's face scrunched up into a frown as he noticed the caller."Why is she calling me?" Anthony mused, cutting the call."Who's that? Why don't you want to pick it?" Mo Lan asked, stuffing his face with chicken breast."It's no one important," Anthony said carelessly, enjoying the delicacies before him.Bing Yu's frown deepened."Is it the girl we met at the mall? Is she your betrothed? Did you guys quarrel? Quarreling is actually normal for young couples, but you shouldn't ignore her because of a silly misunderstanding," Bing Yu advised, making Anthony's mouth fall open at her conclusion."This is what they call women supporting women. But why are you ignoring your little lover?" The system asked naughtily, infuriating Anthony."Bing Yu, the girl we met at the mall is a total stranger to me. I have only met her once. She doesn't even have my number. And I most certainly do not have any lover or betrothed. The person that called now doesn't have an important reason for calling me.
"Haven't you both been intimate? Why are you denying her? Her reaction at getting caught that day was absolutely normal. She's just a young woman, a teenager. It makes sense that her emotions will be a mess. But as for you, you're a man, a grown adult. However, you kept acting very immature and extremely petty ever since that incident. You snap at her like she's an annoying dog trying to steal your meat. All her efforts to impress you have been equivalent to water poured on a duck's back, very useless. You kept ignoring her, letting her bang her head against the wall in a futile adventure. She keeps trying to make amends, but you always act like a grouchy old pervert who suddenly doesn't want his maid anymore, just because she refused to give in to his dirty advances. You've totally destroyed that upright image you want to build before her and her mother. Your actions have been no different from a pervert. It would have been better if you grabbed her and gave her a hard kiss, telling
"What do you mean by that? I thought there's a quintillion dollars worth of money stored in the system. So what are you talking about?" Anthony asked, his heart beating wildly."Of course, there's more than a quintillion dollars in there, but you have to be strong enough to access them . If you stop leveling up, you may lose it. Unless you're already quite satisfied with your current level of strength and wealth. However, if you prove incompetent and unable to avert the impending disaster, the system will have no other choice but to find a more suitable candidate for the job you failed to do," the system warned, making Anthony grit his teeth in fury."Why does it always seem as if you're threatening me with the loss of the system? I'm the master of the system, aren't I? Why does it seem as if I'm the obedient servant that must bow my head? I hate it when people try to control and threaten me! So If you will continue yapping and threatening me, you might as we leave," Anthony bit back
Anthony stopped in the garage, his eyes going to the new motorcycle placed on a raised platform.He walked towards the black bike and squatted beside it, examining it."Ah! I should have checked it after it was delivered. It looks expensive," Anthony cursed, touching the sleek material of the motorcycle."It might be expensive, but others won't know the price. It doesn't have a popular logo on it. Beside, there's a company that caters to middle class citizens that used this particular design for one of their products. So they will assume it's the knock off version that you bought. You don't need to worry about it at all," the system quickly said, trying to encourage Anthony to not be dismayed because of the supplier's inability to adhere to instructions."You're almost late. The quiz will be starting in twenty minutes," the system said calmly, throwing Anthony into a state of panic.He quickly wore his helmet and quickly mounted the bike driving towards the exit with all the speed he
"Anthony," someone whispered, touching him.The familiar voice sent goosebumps down his spine and he shivered in disgust, turning around to look at her.He looked up at her, his eyes two chips of ice."How did you manage to get close to me? You do run pretty fast, Clara. I wonder why you suddenly want to talk to a smelly and despicable trash. If it's because you think I have money now, better forget it. I don't have any money at all. I'm not Mr Money. As you can see, I'm riding a bike, so forget it," Anthony said, standing up to climb his bike."It's not like that, I just wanted to apologize to you. I still miss you sometimes, making me realize how stupid I was. I'm sorry. I'm genuinely sorry, not because of the money, but because I'm feeling remorseful. I'm not a gold digger. Remember that I was your only friend back then when you were working part time jobs. I'm really sorry," she pleaded.Anthony gave her a fake smile and climbed his bike, turning on the engine."Anthony!" Hailey J
Anthony stared steadily at her, confused by her speech."Wow, she's actually being honest. Most of the things she said seem to be true. I only felt a tiny emotional fluctuation from her, which might be as a result of her nervousness and fear of being rejected," the system whispered in surprise, wondering why the pretentious socialite suddenly wants to genuinely become Anthony's woman."I'm afraid you have gotten the wrong person, I'm not Mr Money. If you're looking to forge connections for a wealthy future filled with luxury, then you should definitely find him. I'm not the one you're searching for. As you can see, I came with my bike. While Mr Money only drives around in expensive limited edition cars," Anthony said loudly, making sure that other people could hear him."Excuse me? I don't know why you're trying to do this. Do you think I'm a gold digger? You're embarrassing me. Others will think I'm a terrible person since you're even willing to lie and ruin your reputation, in your
Joan smiled smugly and adjusted her hair, feeling happy for the unlikely coincidence that occured, validating her lie."Wow, he must really like you a lot. Has he given you the jewelry set he bought that day?" Miriam asked, turning to look at her.Joan instinctively wanted to shout of course. However, she knew that any mistake she commits right now will lead to her lie being found out, making her fake a pout."Not yet, he's probably waiting for me to apologize," she whispered, looking sad."Why don't you want to apologize? What did you do?" Miriam asked, feigning concern."I won't. I feel too ashamed. Besides, I can't swallow my pride, no matter how hard I try. I will just wait for him to come back on his own," she whispered 'sadly'."What if he refuses to apologize this time? What if he leaves you and chooses a humble girl that will worship and love him? What if he had bought it for his new girl instead of you?" She asked, looking sincerely at Joan."Shut up, stop saying ridiculous t
