"What? What would I do if you bought the villa?" Emily, the manager of the sales office, was stunned and furrowed her brows. She could not understand what Callum meant."Emily, I said that I’d resign and leave the company only if Mr. Bowman can’t afford to purchase this villa. If he really can afford it, what will you do?" Nancy instantly understood what Callum meant and shouted at Emily while glaring at her with burning eyes.Emily did not know how to respond. She knew that Nancy wanted to make a bet with her, but she did not agree to it immediately and was a little hesitant.After all, Emily did not know Callum at all. How could she possibly be as confident as Nancy?Thus, Emily turned to look at Margret and asked in a gentle tone, "Margret, are you sure this guy is a vagabond who earns money by picking up bottles?"Margret replied with certainty, "Yes, Emily. I’m sure about it. He’s such a loser. When we were at the bar last night,

Upon hearing the young man's words, Nancy quickly stood up, pointed to Callum who was standing next to her, and said in a sweet voice, "Hello, Mr. Bowman is right here."The young man wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly walked over to Callum. He spoke to him in a very respectful tone. "Hi, Mr. Bowman! Nice to meet you! I’m Gary White, the account manager of Solbury Commercial Bank."Catching on to what Gary had said, the salesladies in the sales office were all taken by surprise. They began to wonder if Callum really was a wealthy man.Only Margret and Emily were looking very disdainful."Oh, I didn't expect Callum to get such an excellent actor to assist him in his act. This guy seems really great at playing the role of being an account manager of a bank." Margret peeked at Gary, who was dressed like a professional manager. She curled her lips slightly, her words dripping with sarcasm."Yeah, Callum really put in a lot of effort to deceive Na

Upon hearing what Alfred had said, Gary was startled and gazed at him, puzzled."Mr. White, don't you remember me? I'm Alfred Black. You attended to me when our company got a loan from your bank. I said that I’d treat you to dinner," Alfred said to Gary with a grin.After hearing what he said, Emily, Margret, and the other salesladies in the sales office were all dumbfounded, their eyes full of disbelief.Bank? Loan? The one who attended to Alfred?Judging by those words, even a fool could tell that Gary really was a staff member of the bank.A spasm of fear flitted across Emily's face as she glanced at the check that she had just thrown on the ground. Damn it! Is he really the manager of Solbury Commercial Bank? Then, is this check real? Oh, God! What did I just do?Margret, who wanted to call the police to arrest Callum and Gary, stood glued to the ground in a daze, too shocked to say a word."Oh, Mr. Black! I’m so sorry. I should&rsq

Emily was breathing fire and fury. She knew that Callum was forcing her to resign.This job was actually not that significant to Emily. After all, she had latched onto a rich and powerful boyfriend. Even so, she did not want to resign this way as it was just way too humiliating for her.Even at this point in time, she still could not believe that the check Gary gave to Callum was valid.She did not believe that Callum had that much money.Margret too was at a loss for words as she stared blankly at Callum. Everything seemed so improbable to her that she felt like she was dreaming.The night before, Carol and some others told her that Callum was a poor student who earned money by picking up bottles in school. After returning to the dormitory, Jasmine also told her the same thing.In the face of their accusations, Callum never refuted them. It meant that he himself admitted what they said was true.Margret wondered how Callum could suddenly afford su

Noah could not help but sneer, "Hah, you sure are arrogant.''''Callum, I warn you. Don't mess with us, or you’ll be sorry. Do you know who Emily’s boyfriend is? Do you know who you’re talking to? Don't expect everyone to be nice to you just because you can afford a villa, you loser!'' Margret shouted at Callum as she gave him a death stare."Yeah, don't be so full of yourself. You can purchase that villa, but so what? I was just joking with you earlier on. Do you really think I’d resign just because of that joke? Oh, grow up!" Emily ridiculed Callum, thinking that no one would dare offend her in front of her boyfriend, Noah.After all, Callum did not seem that wealthy in their eyes. Noah, on the other hand, was the young master of the Duke Family in Solbury. He was prominent and had a wide set of connections. Emily and Margret did not think an upstart like Callum could compare with Noah."You promised you’d resign as long as I bough

Upon hearing what Gary had said, Callum smirked and said in a soft voice, "Oh? His uncle is not someone to be trifled with? Why? What's the big deal about the Duke family, anyway? I don’t care who they are. Either way, I won’t let them off the hook until Emily resigns."Gary gazed at Callum, who was standing next to him, with a wry grin on his face. He could not comprehend why Callum suddenly became so aggressive though he had been silent all along.Nancy had her eyes glued to Callum as well. It seemed like he was a new person, completely different from the quiet man he was earlier on. Nancy grew a little anxious, afraid that it would be hard to smooth things over if Callum made a big deal out of it.Alfred hesitated for a moment and hurriedly walked over to Callum, whispering in his ear, "Mr. Bowman, why don't we just let them go? If we make a big deal out of this, things may not turn out well for us in the future. Trust me! We can't afford to offend Noah

A ripple of excitement spread through Noah as he saw the middle-aged man walking into the sales office with his bodyguards. He quickly walked toward the middle-aged man with a grin and uttered with puppy dog eyes, "Uncle, thank God you’re here. They were bullying me. If you didn't come, I wouldn’t have been able to leave.""Oh, boy! Can you stop stirring up trouble all the time? I've told you so many times. Keep a low profile, please!" the middle-aged man coldly reprimanded him with a poker face."Uncle, you’ve got me wrong. I didn't provoke them. They made things difficult for me for no reason. I had no choice but to ask you for help."Before Noah could finish his sentence, the middle-aged man's body trembled slightly as he gazed at Callum with a flabbergasted look on his face."Uncle, what's wrong?" Noah asked the middle-aged man, perplexed.The middle-aged man did not pay any attention to Noah at all. Instead, he quickly walked up to Cal

Once Callum heard Margret ask him for his phone number, he let out an awkward smile. He could not comprehend how Margret still had the nerve to ask such a thing.If not because she stirred up trouble earlier, those misunderstandings would not have occurred."Margret, you’re just as shameless as your cousin! You’re still young. Don't be misled by her!" Nancy stood up and scolded Margret with disdain before Callum could say anything, pointing her finger right toward Margret's nose."Then, just say sorry! Why do you want Mr. Bowman’s number?" Nancy clamored with a withering look, glaring at Margret with burning eyes. "How can you still have the nerve to ask Mr. Bowman for his number? It was you who mocked him and said that he was a loser who earned a living by picking up bottles. But now that you know he’s rich, you want his number. Hah! You want to seduce him, don't you? Oh, God! I can't believe how shameless you are."Believing that Callum

When Alfred realized that Callum was going to give the villa to Ivory, he stammered in reply, "I see, Mr. Bowman. I'll contact Miss Holland in a moment.""Thank you!" Callum gave a slight nod and then continued, "By the way, I also want to buy the three-hundred-million-dollar villa. Go and prepare the contract. Just tell Gary the amount. After signing the contract, I’ll get him to transfer the money to your company's account. Is that okay with you, Gary?""Sure thing, Mr. Bowman." Gary nodded without hesitation.Upon realizing that Callum really intended to buy the most expensive villa, the crowd was seized by shock again.After all, that villa was known as the most luxurious villa in Solbury. Even the media paid attention to this villa and wondered which rich man would get their hands on it.It had never occurred to them that the villa would end up in the hands of such a plainly dressed man like Callum.Not to mention that it did not even seem th

Margret kissed Callum. Callum never saw it coming nor did he expect it.The moment her red, tender, and attractive lips were against his lips, she smelled so fantastic that Callum’s brain just went blank.Although Callum and Carol had been together for a long time, they had never done something this intimate together. It had never occurred to him that he would share his first kiss with a woman in this way.Margret's lips were tender and smelled lovely. Callum felt very comfortable while he was being kissed by her.He had never experienced such an amazing feeling before, and therefore, did not want to let go of the soft and delicate woman in his arms.Regardless, Callum still felt a little humiliated. After all, Margret did not ask if he wanted to do so. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and pushed Margret away from his arms.After being pushed away, Margret was taken aback. She then asked Callum with a shy expression, "Callum, what's w
