Chapter 81
Callum sat in Nancy's Mercedes-Benz car and stared at Frank, who was down on one knee in front of Celia. He was sure that Frank was confessing his love for her.After all, Celia believed that Alan had come to apologize to her because of Frank's help. Therefore, she seemed rather grateful to Frank.At the sight of it, Callum felt upset and uncomfortable because the one who had helped Celia solve all her problems was in fact him, and not Frank. Into The Wind was Callum's screen name, and it was also Callum who had asked Alan to apologize to Celia. However, Frank took all the credit, and Celia even deemed Callum a coward.Callum felt terrible to be misunderstood like this.Nancy noticed Callum's sullen face, and so, she asked him in a low voice, "Mr. Bowman, are you all right?""No worries. I'm fine." Callum shook his head and had no intention of telling Nancy about what happened between him and Celia.Recalling Celia's cold attitude toward him and what sh

"Hah! So, what? What can you do?" Callum could not help but sneer after hearing what Frank had said. Damn it! You bastard! I ought to teach you a lesson. How dare you threaten me!In fact, Callum had intended to secretly deal with Frank without Celia's knowledge. After all, Celia was just an innocent victim in Callum's eyes, and he did not want her to get hurt any longer.However, it never occurred to Callum that Frank would become so impatient and confess his love to Celia so soon. Callum presumed that by the time he received evidence regarding Frank’s true identity, that liar would probably have already deceived Celia and gone to get a room with her. By then, it would be too late for Callum to do anything.Therefore, Callum took out his mobile phone, planning to call Jim and ask him to deal with Frank.Just then, Celia suddenly shouted at Callum in a cold voice, "Callum, what the hell are you doing? Leave! Now! Whether or not I date Frank is none of your
Chapter 83
As Frank took Celia into the taxi, Callum looked at them in low spirits, feeling regretful.If Callum had known that his account would cause so much trouble, he would not have sponsored Celia when she was doing the live streaming. In that case, none of this would have happened in the first place.However, due to that big misunderstanding, Celia now firmly believed that Frank was Into The Wind and the person who had helped her in secret.With that thought in mind, Callum felt down in the dumps, not knowing how to make it all clear to Celia.What’s more, Celia did not want to listen to his explanation at all.On that account, Callum could only pin his hopes on Jim, hoping that he could find Frank as soon as possible. As long as Callum could get his hacked account back, things would become easier to solve."Mr. Bowman, what's your relationship with that woman?" Nancy walked toward Callum and asked in a soft tone."We’re just friends," Call
Chapter 84
Dean walked toward Callum and asked with a polite smile on his face, "Mr. Bowman, why are you here?""I came to have dinner with a friend, but it's a pity that your restaurant seems to be full now. I was just about to leave," Callum looked at Dean and replied with a straight face.As the crowd heard the conversation between Callum and Dean, they were all at sixes and sevens. After all, Callum was plainly dressed and absolutely did not look like a wealthy and influential person. The crowd wondered how such an ordinary person like him managed to acquaint himself with the manager of Jacques Restaurant.Of course, it was a bolt from the blue predominantly for Frank and Celia.Celia muttered with an astonished and confused expression, ''What? How does Callum know the manager of this restaurant?''Upon hearing Callum's words, Dean was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat and apologized to Callum nervously, "Mr. Bowman, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that you
Chapter 85
In order for Frank to continue his act of being a filthy rich man in front of Celia, he had spent a lot of effort just to borrow a membership card of Jacques Restaurant from his friend.He assumed that he could just show the waiter the membership card and get away with it. However, what he did not expect was that Jacques Restaurant’s staff had the information of every single member recorded down and that the manager here was so familiar with all of their members.What was worse, according to the rules of Jacques Restaurant, whoever borrowed or stole someone else’s membership card would be hit with a fine of one hundred thousand dollars.In order to win Celia's heart, Frank had sponsored her while she was doing her live streaming the past few days. As a result, he had spent tens of thousands of dollars every day. On top of that, he had even rented a BMW and an expensive suit.The money Frank had spent was all borrowed from his friends, so he had long b

Once Ivory found out that the caller was Alfred Black, the general manager of Splendid Property, a flicker of confusion crossed her face.After a moment of hesitation, she asked in a gentle tone, "Hello, Mr. Black. What can I do for you?""Ms. Holland, I was told that you came to our sales office earlier today and had a look at some of the villas, am I right?" Alfred asked with a grin.Just then, Ivory could roughly guess why Alfred had called her. She assumed that he probably wanted to ask her if she took a fancy to any of the villas and whether she would purchase them, or something like that. Ivory had gone to many sales offices recently to take a look at the villas, and so, she had received numerous calls like this.However, it was the first time Ivory had ever received a call from the general manager of a sales office."Yes, I did visit your sales office this afternoon. The villas look really amazing, but I’m not going to purchase any of them. I'll
Chapter 87
Back when Ivory bumped into Callum at the door of the sales office, Callum declared that he would purchase the villa she favored for her.Regardless, Ivory thought that it was just a joke and did not take it seriously. She even went along with it and joked that she would marry him whenever he wanted to if he really purchased that villa for her.Did Callum really purchase the villa for me? How did he get so much money, though? Did he win the lottery or something?After making sure that Alfred was not a swindler, Ivory was both confused and shocked, lost in thought. After all, it seemed too good to be true."Ms. Holland, are you still there?" Alfred asked in a soft voice.With that, Ivory recovered from the shock and quickly replied, "Yeah, I am. Are you really the general manager of Splendid Property?""Ms. Holland, if you still don't believe me, you may come to our sales office now and have a look. I promise we won't ask you to pay anything, and we won'

It never occurred to Alfred that Ivory would refuse to accept the villa. He quickly caught up with Ivory and said with a wry smile on his face, "Ms. Holland, I really can't tell you who bought the villa for you. I would have told you if I could. I’m really sorry!"Ivory said lightly, "It's okay. I won't sign the contract, then.""So, are you going to give up on this villa?" Alfred asked, looking upset."No, but I won't accept it unless you ask the buyer to come and talk to me in person. I have to know why he’s giving me this villa before considering whether I want to accept it or not. I won't casually accept gifts from others for no reason."Although Ivory desired the villa very much, it did not mean that she could accept it without figuring out what was going on and who gave it to her. She had her principles.That was the difference between her and other women.If it were another woman, they probably would have just signed the contract and
Chapter 89
In the fast-food restaurant, Celia stared at Frank with her big beautiful eyes wide open in a state of shock. She never expected that he would ask her to go to a hotel with him.Celia might have not thought that it was strange if they had already been together for a long period of time. After all, it was a matter of time for lovers to sleep together.However, Celia had only known Frank for less than a week and had just agreed to be his girlfriend earlier today. They had not even held each other's hands yet, but now, Frank already wanted to take her to a hotel room. Celia thought that it was unbelievable.Frank knew that it was rude to ask Celia to go to a hotel with him so soon, but he had no other choice. He could not wait any longer. It was not easy pretending to be a rich man. He had to spend a lot of money.In order to win Celia's favor, Frank sponsored her with tens of thousands of dollars every day when she was doing the live streaming. In addition, it cost
Chapter 90
Celia felt a little lightheaded, and she instantly realized what was going on. Right after she took a sip of the water given by Frank, she immediately felt unwell.The only possible reasoning was that something was wrong with the water Frank had given her. The moment Celia thought of his mysterious smile, she was certain that Frank had drugged her."Frank, you shameless scumbag! How could you drug me!" Celia stared at Frank with a withering look and shouted at him in a fury, her temples throbbing.Upon hearing that, Frank turned to look at Celia with an evil grin and gave no reply.He had finally shown Celia his true colors. Celia finally realized that he did not have a thing for her at all. Instead, he had gotten close to her just so he could get her money and have sex with her.At that moment, Celia felt deeply remorseful. She regretted not listening to Callum and not staying away from this jerk, Frank White.Frank turned to look at Celia, who was on
