Is Lux Arden buying a gift for her? She was instantly conflicted. But before she could speak, Nicolas spoke first. "Kid, with Dora's background, what hasn't she seen? What kind of decent gift can you afford as a poor guy like you?" "If you think you can win Dora's heart with this move, you're barking up the wrong tree and asking for trouble." The crowd also joined in the teasing. "That's right, don't you know what kind of person you are?" "You can't even afford a full outfit for less than 200 dollars, and you want to learn how to give gifts like others?" "Hey, don't do that. Even if she has a talent for making paper flowers, it's still expensive to make ten thousand of them. Why don't we all chip in and help him out?" After hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter. Lux Arden was confused and said, "When did I say I wanted to give her a gift? I want to give it to my fiancee." "What's wrong with you guys? I asked a question and you're all talking nonsense. Did I ask y

He was usually a well-respected figure, wherever he went people would call him "Young Master Nico" with deference and respect. But today, he had fallen from grace. Pinned to the ground by John Howard, a fierce dragon from across the river, he didn't even dare to speak up. Nicolas stared at Beatrice, hoping that she would at least help him out for the sake of his father. But Beatrice said, "Why should I help you? Just because you mentioned your father, you think I'm afraid of you?" "Let me tell you the truth. John Howard is a VIP guest invited by the Black Dragon Society to visit Marlowe. Even I have to treat him with respect." "You guys have offended John Howard tonight, so it's only right that you pay the price." "Even if it was your father who angered John Howard tonight, I would say the same thing." Nicolas was completely hopeless after hearing this. He never expected that his last resort would be useless. Dora's body trembled violently as her suspicions wer

"Okay, I thought you were Donald's close friend, which is why you were able to get Deputy Director Jace to speak for you and make me angry." "I didn't expect both you and Deputy Director Jace to be fooled by him!" "Donald is now a rising star, a dragon among clouds." "What qualifications do you, a discarded child of the Arden family, have to compare with Donald?" Beatrice's face regained its arrogant look as she looked down on Lux Arden. "Don't let me warn Donald, I should be warning you not to use Donald's name to deceive people outside!" "Today, you are lucky that Deputy Director Jace helped you because of Donald's face." "But next time, you may not be so lucky!" "You'd better leave now and never step into the Lucky Bar again!" After speaking, she snorted coldly and walked away, completely ignoring Lux Arden and disregarding Deputy Director Jace's warning. Dora shouted at her back in disbelief, "This is ridiculous! Who is Donald anyway?" "My brother Lux Arden doesn't need

"Besides, you're already at the manager level now. If you don't drive a better car, won't you be mocked by those ignorant people every time you come and go?" "Don't worry about the money, I can handle it," Ava tried to persuade Lux Arden again. "I don't care about those rumors. They're just bored people. Let them say whatever they want," Lux Arden replied firmly. "Besides, I know your intentions, and that's enough for me." "You're in a difficult situation now, and we both know it. Where would you get the money to buy a car?" "You don't have to do this in front of me." Lux Arden insisted, "Believe me, I have enough money to buy a car." Ava thought that Lux Arden's pride was too strong, and he didn't want to lose face in front of her, so she refused to give in. She decided to silently pay for the down payment when the time came, to save Lux Arden's face. The car quickly arrived at the largest and most complete Oceanview store in the city. After Lux Arden parked the ca

Ava's face was extremely embarrassed, biting her lip without saying a word, on the verge of tears. Just as she was about to pull on Lux Arden's sleeve and leave, a middle-aged man in a high-end suit and brand-name leather shoes walked over. "Hello, sir. My name is Brown, and I am the manager of this Oceanview store. I am sorry that your card was declined just now. We have tried all the machines in the store, but they all reported errors because their security levels were not high enough. On behalf of the store, I apologize for the bad shopping experience you had. If you still want to buy a car, I wonder if we can provide other payment methods? We will definitely provide the maximum discount to make up for the unpleasant experience we caused you just now." Manager Brown respectfully asked Lux Arden. Talia and everyone present were dumbfounded. "I have never heard of such a thing in my life, that a card could be declined because the machine's security level is not high enough?
