Before I could speak, I heard someone say over the phone sarcastically, "Isabella, that friend of yours won't be able to help, so don't count on that fella."The expenses at Lumiere Grand Hotel could go up to thousands of dollars per night while holding a party would cost tens of thousands. Who would spend money for you like that?" the person continued.Isabella was not the only one offended by those words. I was, too! I frowned instantly as I said coldly, "Wait for me. I'll be there in ten minutes."At the same time, I also had an extremely poor impression of Lumiere Grand Hotel's staff. How dare they stop my girl from entering? It seemed that this hotel was not as good as I thought.I sped in the Mercedes-Benz S600 that I planned to give to Isabella as a gift toward Lumiere Grand Hotel.I reached my destination about seven minutes later. After parking the car at the entrance, I walked into the hotel with a frown.After entering, I saw a group of peopl

Isabella quickly nodded, but she still appeared hesitant."David, I can accept the car, but not the money. I will feel bad taking your money."I laughed. "If you don't take my money, Waldor's gift will be worth more than mine. Are you sure you want me to lose to him?""David, stop kidding. You won today. Whether Isabella takes your money or not, I lost fair and square. At least I won't give Isabella a million dollars." Waldor appeared troubled as he admitted, "Now it seems that I'm the one who doesn't trust Isabella enough. Perhaps I am afraid that she will run away after taking my money, but you don't seem to even consider that. On this point alone I admit that I lost."I admit my defeat. From now on, I promise I won't harass Isabella anymore." He forced a smile though he felt bitter."There will be better women for you in the future. Don't worry," I comforted him. After all, he was likely to be my business partner in the future. It was better to maintain a

I went to see the dean of Sugar’s College and then arranged for her to transfer to a leading college in Firenze. Of course, Larry was also instrumental in getting this done smoothly.Today, I realized that I had made most of the necessary arrangements and there was nothing left to deal with in Larsburg. I instructed Joy and the others to start packing up, and we would head for Firenze.Victor said he would settle the rest of the shipment here before joining us at Firenze. I didn't think too much about it, but with Victor's connections, wisdom and resourcefulness, there should not be any issues that he could not handle.Once they were ready, we would leave, and it could be ages until we returned to Larsburg. After all, I had no deep emotional ties with this place.It was totally different when we reached Firenze. We were riding in the Rolls Royce provided by the villa management. Joy and Sugar were with me, but Isabella and Sofia said that they would come to

"No worries, let's go. I'll take you to the Maple Leaf Hotel," I said while walking toward the door. Elsa stood in place for a moment before she snapped to her senses and quickly ran after me.The Maple Leaf Hotel was in the western part of Firenze. The compounds of the hotel spanned an enormous area. Their rooms were all in the form of a single courtyard and each courtyard had a small swimming pool. The courtyard formed a large arc and within the arc was a large swimming pool.The reason why the hotel was named Maple Leaf was because maple trees were planted all around their courtyard. During autumn, the maple leaves would turn golden in color and the entire place would look extremely beautiful.After arriving at the Maple Leaf Hotel, I took Elsa toward the restaurant. The restaurant at Maple Leaf Hotel had been awarded Michelin stars and served a world-class gourmet experience which was the reason for the exorbitant prices. It could be said that it was Firenze&rsquo

"Mr. Governor, I’m sorry to emphasize this point to you once again. The lady beside Kendall is not his fiancée but my girlfriend. She told me that Kendall had previously forced her to get engaged to him.""I came here today to sort this out amicably with him, but I did not expect him to order his guards to attack me. That's why I would like to resolve this matter before I can have dinner with you. I hope you can understand," I said apologetically and looked at Kendall, secretly rejoicing in my heart. With Governor Haley on my side, I was certain that Kendall would not be able to retaliate, at least tonight. It was better to take advantage of this opportunity to solve Elsa's matter in one fell swoop.The governor froze when he heard what I said. He frowned, looked at Kendall, then looked back at me, and finally at Elsa.Kendall was fuming at this point and hid his arms from Governor Haley by putting them behind his back. However, from where I stood, I coul
