The mouth of one of the nuns from Joyful Heart Shelter fell open, her eyes glistening. She smiled, almost struggling to find her words.“Hey, bro,” Eric patted the shoulder of one of the boys, “Go call all the shelter staff to come have ice cream. There’s going to be an ice cream party here!”Immediately, the air was filled with the children’s cheers as they jumped around. They pulled the teary-eyed nun into their circle to jump along with them.From Eric’s experience in the past few days as a rich man, this was by far his best moment. There was something in the corner of his heart that felt warm, seeing the shelter children so happy.Once everyone at the shelter gathered, they split the tasks. First, the gate was opened and Eric’s ice cream van drove into the yard. The male staff kept the children in line, making them queue up neatly to receive their cones, while the nuns helped fill them.The excitement of the impromptu ice cream party quickly attracted the attention of people nearb

The rude salesgirl and Aurora both turned toward the car Eric had pointed at. Unlike the other cars in the Bugatti-only outlet, the Bugatti Centodieci was placed inside a locked glass showcase, meaning that any customer who wished to view it could only do so from behind the glass barrier. The key to that showcase was personally kept by the Inventory Manager.That was only natural considering the Centodieci was a limited-edition Bugatti, with only ten units ever produced in the entire world. In that country, this showroom was the only place it could be found. Many had come before, claiming they wanted to buy it, but after hearing the staggering price, they turned around and walked out to other outlets.In an average month, the inventory manager unlocked that glass case for a visitor no more than once. In the past three months, it had not been opened at all. Many requests to see the car up close were turned down unless the visitor could prove they were wealthy enough to even consider bu

Angela clenched her jaw. She assumed Aurora’s pale face was because she was scared, maybe Eric had said something harsh or threatening, forcing her to let him stay in the showroom even if he could not afford to pay for the car.“Why are you still here? You should get out of this place!” the woman snapped again in a sharp tone.Aurora gripped her arm. “Angela, stop. Don’t—”“Stop!” Angela yanked her arm free from Aurora’s grasp. Leaning in close to her friend’s face, she spoke with heavy emphasis. “You’re still defending him? Naïve!”Angela started to walk away, but Aurora held her back. “Where are you going?”“Let go of me! I’m going to call security again. This time the manager will definitely support me, he must be regretting telling security to stand down earlier.”“Angela, don’t. Please, don’t do that. Just listen to me first.”The sharp-tongued saleswoman ignored her. She took a few steps after shooting Eric a scornful look.“Tuan Muda White has already paid in full!” Aurora shou

In the parking lot of a famous shopping mall called Grand Arc Mall, Eric stood at a distance, eyeing his brand-new car. He had just finished shopping for supplies to prepare for his university life. His hands were full of paper bags, but he delayed putting them into the car.At the moment, four young women were busy taking pictures with his Bugatti Centodieci. He figured he’d wait a bit, giving them time to take a few more shots. After all, they were all beautiful with perfect figures. As a normal, single guy, of course, he was interested.However, after several minutes passed, the women showed no sign of stopping. They switched poses, leaned against the car, hugged it, even kissed it. Their enthusiasm didn’t waver for a second.Finally, realizing they would probably keep at it until hours passed, Eric decided to approach. He walked slowly toward his car. The women’s laughter and chatter grew clearer.“Whoever owns this car must be super rich. If it’s a guy, I’d happily be his girlfri

After Edward reluctantly returned to his car still brimming with anger, Violet officially introduced herself to Eric.Her name was Violet Jung, a well-bred young woman from one of the city’s most prestigious families. She was the same age as Eric. With her striking beauty and her gentle, elegant demeanor, Violet always managed to capture the attention of every man who laid eyes on her.“This is my card. And here’s a down payment for your repairs. Please contact me for the remaining costs later. Also, extend my apologies to your employer.” Violet handed him both cash and her name card.Eric looked at her smile and said, “Wait a moment. I won’t be long.”Violet frowned, unsure of what Eric intended to do, but she chose to wait.From the front, Edward’s impatient voice rang out faintly. “What’s taking so long?”“Just a moment!” Violet’s nerves spiked. She worried Edward might step out again and clash with Eric. If that happened, another scene would explode, and frankly, she was exhausted
