“I’ve long had enough of you, you incorrigible, foolish, and shameless wench! What else do you do daily besides pouting, whining, acting coquettish, and pestering me to buy you clothes and jewelry or give you money?“If you hadn’t thrown yourself at me and climbed into my bed, do you think I would have given you a second glance? People always say the ugly ones are the greatest troublemakers, but why do you still think you’re some angel? Why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror and see if you still look decent without makeup?“What else do you see besides money? How much money I have has nothing to do with you. Have you ever earned a single cent yourself? You’re just like a bloodsucking leech who only knows how to pester me to buy you this and that!“I was just toying with you, you hideous and shameless woman. Do you think I’d really spend so much money on you?“Hmph, I might as well tell you the truth. Your emerald bracelet, earrings, ring, clothes, and handbag are all high

Bill’s face turned pale, and he felt devastated.Meanwhile, Lucas had already walked up to William and asked cautiously with great respect, “Mr. Belmont, this commotion hasn’t affected your mood, has it?”He had just been chatting happily with some business partners in an adjacent area under the guidance of his grandfather.But he was suddenly informed that someone was causing trouble in the Emerald Garden, and William was there again.Lucas was almost frightened to death!Just yesterday, William had visited the Clements’ Emerald Garden for the first time and had been provoked by some foolish employees.Lucas hurried over to teach them a lesson and promoted Jane, whom William recommended.He also admonished all the employees of the Emerald Garden.But one day later, there was yet another slip-up, and William had encountered an unhappy incident in the Emerald Garden again.Lucas felt that he was too embarrassed to face William again.He was also particularly worried that William might

Lucas refused to accept William’s money.Seeing Lucas really not wanting to accept the money, Jane helped persuade, “Mr. Belmont, since Mr. Clement sincerely wants to give you these two emerald pendants, you should accept them!”Lucas said with a pleading look, “Mr. Belmont, accept them. Or else, I won’t be able to explain to my grandfather!”William shook his head, “If I wanted them for myself, I wouldn’t be polite with you. But these are gifts meant for my family.”If Lucas wanted to give something to William for free, he wouldn’t mind accepting it.But he thought that it was insincere to gift his family things someone else gave him.After figuring this out, Lucas stopped persuading him and quickly said to Jane, “Wrap the two pendants up for Mr. Belmont immediately and give him a twenty percent discount!”William didn’t decline the 20% discount, which meant he would only be paying the cost price.“Yes, Mr. Clement!” Jane carefully took the Black Diamond Card from William with both h

Celia pushed Nessa away expressionlessly and said coldly, “It’s already too late. You’ve just said it yourself that we’re no longer friends! From now on, there will be nothing between us!”Hearing what Celia said, Nessa immediately froze on the spot.She didn’t expect Celia, someone she had taken advantage of for years, would turn her down without mercy!If Celia didn’t help her, what… was she supposed to do?She would never be able to afford the compensation of 2.8 million dollars!Although Bill’s family would probably be able to afford it, she was the one who had broken the vase at the end of the day.Bill's family definitely wouldn’t let her off, and they would definitely make her pay them back!When the time came, she probably wouldn’t be able to pay them back even if she was sold to them as a slave and slogged her guts out for the rest of her life.At the thought of this miserable situation, Nessa felt cold all over.She was terrified and in utter despair.But she only had hersel

After leaving the Emerald Garden, Celia still felt amused by the scene. “William, did you see it?... Nessa’s face was so ugly. I’ve never seen her so upset since we were best friends. It’s incredible!”“Uh… You don’t feel bad that your former best friend ended up in such a plight, do you?” William asked hesitantly.Celia gave it some serious thought before saying casually, “At the beginning, I did feel a little sad. But after everything that’s happened today, I’ve completely seen Nessa’s true colors. Now that I think about the things that happened in high school, I realize she probably never genuinely treated me as her friend!“So, she’s merely shown her true colors now. I was never really her best friend before, and now, we have nothing to do with each other. I didn’t really lose anything. After thinking about it like this, I feel more relaxed!”Celia waved her hand, seemingly throwing away the unpleasant memories of the past, and then suddenly laughed. “But speaking of which, she ha
