"I don't care whether he takes it seriously or not. I'm not going to some crowded place. Tell him to find somewhere quieter to meet." Thomas didn't even bother looking up as he spoke. David let out a helpless sigh. He already knew this would happen. Pulling out his phone, he called Mr. Keira. The call connected almost instantly. "David! Where are you guys?" Mr. Keira asked excitedly. David glanced at Thomas before answering. "The Young Master doesn't like crowded places. Can you arrange somewhere more private?" After a brief conversation, the call ended. Immediately, Andrew stepped forward. "Well? Where are they?" His face was full of annoyance. "Don't tell me they stood us up after making us wait in the sun." Mr. Keira rolled his eyes. "Why are you more worried than me?" Andrew threw his hands up, "I'm not worried. I'm annoyed we're billionaires, Dad." "Who makes people like us wait around like this?" Among the younger generation, Andrew was used to being the center of attent

Zia's eyes lit up the moment she saw the card. Before anyone could react, she rushed forward and snatched it from Thomas's hand. "Wow!" She held it up dramatically. "You actually brought out a membership card?" She turned toward the others with a playful smile. "Looks like we're all getting treated today." "Don't forget to thank Thomas later." Then she glanced at Ava. "Although, judging by her face, I don't think Mrs. Bailey even knew her husband had a card like this." Several colleagues immediately laughed. The teasing looks they threw at Ava only made things worse. Ava's face tightened. Part of her wanted Thomas to save the situation. The other part couldn't believe he would bring out something so ridiculous. A membership card from a place like this? How? She had lived with him for years and had never once seen him come here. Was he trying to embarrass her on purpose? Meanwhile, Thomas stood quietly with his hands in his pockets. He didn't seem bothered by the comments

Just then, a black Rolls-Royce stopped by the roadside. The car door opened, and a tall, beautiful woman stepped out. Everyone froze. Their eyes followed her automatically. To their surprise, she walked straight toward Thomas. Beatrice had acted the moment she received Thomas's call. Worried that something might have happened to him, she quickly looked him over from head to toe. Only after confirming he wasn't injured did she finally relax. The people around were stunned. Luxury cars filled the street. Rich young men had shown up one after another. And now even a woman arriving in a Rolls-Royce knew Thomas. Even Avril was shocked. She stared at Thomas in disbelief. Wasn't this supposed to be her useless brother-in-law? How did he know so many wealthy people? At that moment, Beatrice spoke. "I'm the principal of the school where Thomas works." "If there's a problem, you can discuss it with me." The crowd exchanged looks. Principal? Wasn't Thomas just an ordinary teacher? Wh

It’s not worth much, but if Uncle likes it, then it has its value," Lucian said, causing Mr. Bailey to smile even wider. Around him, his old friends chimed in, "Jack, you must have accumulated a lifetime of good fortune to have such a devoted child. This group of friends completely disregarded Thomas, openly making remarks that were out of line. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what they were doing.Lucian quickly waved his hands with a smile, saying, "Uncles, you're mistaken about that." He seemed to glance intentionally at Thomas, who was sitting in the corner. The others scoffed, their faces filled with disdain, showing no respect for Thomas at all. At that moment, Emily Bailey, as if trying to provoke Thomas, called out loudly, "Brother-in-law, I saw you brought a gift for dad, why don’t you present it now? Hearing her words, the crowd turned their curious eyes toward Thomas, their expressions filled with amusement, as if they were waiting to see what he would pull out. Aft

"This is our store's VIP card. If you come back to the shop next time, you can enjoy a 40% discount." Jack Bailey was so excited at that moment that he didn't know how to react. With trembling hands, he accepted the card. A membership card was not something just anyone could have. The most basic membership required spending over a million to obtain, and here he was, holding a Diamond VIP card. It was beyond his wildest dreams. However, after Mr. Keira presented the gift, he noticed the curious looks from the people around him and straightened up in his seat. Jack, slightly puzzled, asked, "Excuse me, are you looking for someone?""Is Mr. Brown not here? I came because I heard he was in this private room," Mr. Keira replied.Mr. Brown? The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. None of them bear that name, except for Thomas, who had already left early. Even if he were still around, why would he be looking for someone like him? He was just a poor guy, what could he possibly want with som
