"Who would have thought that a young man was capable? Imagine putting those rare blue diamonds that would be worth at least dozens of millions dollars inside a plastic bag! That's simply absurd.... That boy is really something." A middle-aged man filled with admiration, as he said that to his rich friend beside him. "Heh, one can't judge a book by its cover. Tsk tsk. That boy is honestly humble. He didn't even throw his weight around when he got that much money on him, unlike some people here who only know how to appear rich when in truth they aren't so capable. Isn't that right, Mike?" The middle-aged man's friend replied with a smile while poking fun at the couple who insulted Sett not too long ago. The couple had an ugly look on their faces. "Isn't he just lucky? That much money is merely pocket money for me and my wife, hmmph!" After saying that, they headed toward the door. Although they wanted to remain, their hearts were being scratched by a cat in curiosity. If those blue di
"Xander, Amanda?" Sett frowned as he realized it was his two cousins. Xander was a handsome man, and Amanda was a beautiful girl, but because of her sharp and sarcastic remarks, Sett always tried to get far away from her, like she was some kind of plague.Also, Xander had a long feud with him; his cousin Xander had always wanted to suppress him; after all, he was the young master of the Crossword family and had the same qualifications to be the next head of the family, so Xander would want to get rid of him."Oh! Do you still remember me and my overweight cousin? Don't be pretentious next time, alright? Calling someone like it's something important, ha! Stop acting, will you? But I have to say your acting is somewhat good. Giving you a title as a " Pig Actor" would be a sensation." Xander coldly chuckled. "Anyway, what are you doing here when Grandpa has already banished you two? It's not that I want to insult you, siblings, especially you Fatty, but I've got to say, after being chased
Sett and Nini, who had just taken a seat, were suddenly reprimanded by the Crossword family waitress. Sett stopped his sister from standing up, but he did awkwardly stand up from his seat. It was impossible not to feel embarrassed when most of the guests were already seated and only the waitresses and the waiter were standing up to serve the guests. "Why are you standing there? Have you no manners? You're supposed to greet your uncles and aunts. How disrespectful. The family head's decision to cut ties with your parents was the right one." Madam Claire spoke in a taunting manner, and because her voice was quite loud, as though she was afraid that everyone wouldn't hear her, as the guests' eyes were now on Sett and Nini. She had intentionally done this to embarrass them all the more. "Waiter, give this nephew of mine the wine bottle. Now, now, Sett, be a good boy and serve us some wine to drink."Sett could feel his sister's anxious grip on his shirt, and he led Nini to a seat in the
"Happy? You must be kidding me, my pig cousin. As long as you're alive, I won't let you off so easily." Xander had always hated Sett since childhood. He was often second in everything because of his cousin. Sett was good at both academics and sports, so the family elders always praised him. These invoke Xander's jealousy and envy toward him. After Sett's parents were kicked out of the Crossword family, Xander and his cousin Amanda, who also hated Sett, wouldn't let go of the opportunity to suppress him and teach him a lesson."Stop talking, the family head has arrived!"At this time, everyone stood up and clapped as an elderly man wearing sharp attire was accompanied by the Crossword family elders. He was heading toward the officials who were sitting at the guest of honor’s table. This elderly man was none other than the Crossword family head—"Francisco Crossword"—and also Sett's grandfather."Don Francisco, I wish you great health and prosperity for your Crossword family. It's tru
As the Phantom Car's doors were pushed open, a woman walked out. At that instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to her. Like she was some kind of a magnet. She was extremely beautiful in her pink gown while her hair was tied in a bun. Xander was dazed as he was struck by her naturally green eyes. The hot-blooded young men that were present had their eyes shaped into hearts. On the other hand, the woman was green with jealousy.At this point, someone in the crowd recognized the lady."Isn't she the young missus of the Laurel family? Sheila Laurel. "She's gorgeous. No wonder the guys present are drooling over her." A lady in her twenties smiled bitterly as she saw her boyfriend's idiotic face as he kept staring at Ms. Sheila Laurel."I'm really jealous of her. Not only is she considered one of the most beautiful ladies in Darian City. She's considered a princess in the Laurel family. Her family owns one of the biggest real estate businesses in Darian City. Also, their jewelry shops are kno
Although others may perceive Young Master Marco's speaking as arrogance, he indeed had the capital to be arrogant as the Rotherford family had a vast number of properties in the city center, and it wasn't limited to just hotels but also well-known bars and a grand gambling casino! "My apologies to family head Francisco for being late for your birthday. But don't worry, family head Francisco, my grandfather had me prepare a lavish gift for you! I hope you can forgive my earlier rudeness!" Marco said, in a voice that was neither arrogant nor servile. He handed a black card with an intricate design to Family Head Francisco. "What! T-This young Master Marco, isn't this the highest VIP card in your family casino? This black card entitles the holder to a variety of benefits, the most important of which is a 20% discount!" "How can you just give it away?" The family head, Francisco, was taken aback by this gesture. He was also flattered. As only first-class families can enjoy the VIP car
Young Master Marco, threats fell on deaf ears as Sett passed by him. Sett was now standing in front of the silent Sheila, who was coldly looking at him.Sett could hardly believe that his wife would have such a chilling gaze. Sett couldn't give up just yet! Who didn't know what kind of reputation the young master Marco of the Rotherford family had? Without breaking eye contact with his wife, Sett parted his dried lips. "My wife... I know you hate my guts. Yes, I'm a fat coward, a worthless piece of sh*t who can't even stand in front of his in-laws and protect the woman I love... Regardless, that's all from the past." At this point, Sett took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but as soon as he caught a glimpse of young master Marco, who was the reason his wife wanted to divorce him, his emotions started to flood out. "Sheila, you know that I always put you on a higher pedestal and treated you like a queen, and it's alright if we have a fight, as every relationship is mess
"Why are you butting in you little brat? The adults are talking, so you better shut the f*ck up... Both of you siblings are inevitably good for nothing!" Xander let out, he knew that it was his chance to crush Sett once and for all. He wouldn't let go of such a golden opportunity!In response, Sett clenched his jaws, eventually letting out a breath. "Grandfather, I'm sorry for what happened here, and for being unable to hand my gift to you personally. I will leave immediately."After saying that, Sett didn't wait for a second longer as he left. He could still hear Xander's sneering voice."Gift? It must be something worthless, coming from a pig who can't even buy himself a proper set of clothes." Xander scornfully said, causing everyone to burst into laughter. "Anyway, if I see anyone helping or keeping in touch with that disrespectful brat, I'll make sure they suffer the same fate as him! I'll personally kick him out of the family. Do I make myself clear?" Xander questions the junior
