Henry didn't have a good impression of Patricia. Due to his relationship with Maurice, Patricia's attitude toward Henry, while not exactly friendly, was not as hostile as it was toward others.However, both during college and after graduation, every time Patricia sought out Maurice, it was after she had spent all her allowance and salary. Frankly, in Patricia's eyes, Maurice was her ATM.Henry and Charles were well aware of this and had subtly warned Maurice, but he completely ignored them.There was no helping it; people caught up in a whirlwind romance are just that blind.When Henry was dating Jane, Maurice and Charles had also tried to advise him, but he hadn't listened then either."So, this is what a bar's private room looks like..." Henry shifted his gaze from Patricia, his face filled with curiosity as he looked around. It was his first time in such a place, and everything seemed novel.After Maurice twirled Patricia around twice, she finally se

Meanwhile, in Henry's private room, a tall, beautifully dressed woman walked in wearing high heels."Helen, you're finally back! Let me introduce her to you all. This gorgeous woman is Helen Taylor, a graduate of the art academy. Back when she was studying, she was one of the top four campus beauties, and now she's considered the most beautiful woman in our company!""Let me tell you, both in the past and now, Helen has had countless men pursuing her! I'm Helen's best friend, and she's only here this time because of me!" Patricia stood up as soon as Helen entered, pulling her in front of Henry and the others, introducing her with a proud expression. It was as if being friends with such a beautiful woman was something to brag about.Henry was drinking and then put down his bottle, looking up to examine Helen carefully. She was indeed worthy of being a campus beauty from the art academy—not only was she prettier than Patricia and Audrey, but her body was also top-

"Who are you? Why are you looking at me like that?" Helen frowned slightly, displeased by Jane's intense gaze.Jane sneered, pointed at Henry, and said haughtily, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Jane, his ex-girlfriend!"Helen looked surprised and glanced at Henry. 'Could it be that Henry's ex-girlfriend still hasn't given up and is bothering him? Did she mistake me for Henry's new girlfriend and come to cause trouble?'Helen subconsciously imagined a scene of women fighting over a man. Just as she was about to explain, Jane continued, "We're both women, and in the spirit of 'girls help girls,' I can't let you be deceived by this loser! To be honest, I'm not only his ex-girlfriend but also his college classmate. This guy was notoriously broke in college!"She added, "For four years, he didn't buy a single new piece of clothing or a pair of new shoes. He wore hand-me-downs! Because he was broke, he only ate one meal a day. He even ran errands for people like a dog f

Henry and his two friends left their private room, summoned a waiter, and went to the lobby to settle the bill.The total came to 6,800. Henry reached for his wallet, but Maurice and Charles stopped him."We agreed to just introduce you to a girlfriend, not have you pay for everything! Let us take care of this," they said."Yeah, if you feel bad, you can treat us next time. Don't forget to bring your fiancée to meet us then!" Maurice and Charles added, pooling their money together.Henry smiled, said nothing, returned the 3,000 they had given him earlier, and excused himself to the restroom.After washing his hands, the alcohol haze cleared from his head.As he turned, he bumped into a girl exiting the women's restroom."It's you again!" Henry and the girl exclaimed simultaneously.The girl was Phoebe, the same one he had encountered and clashed with the previous day.She wore a short black halter dress that barely covered her bott

Henry walked to the scale model, his gaze sweeping over the miniature buildings. He noticed that the prices and other information were marked on the model.Apartments varied in price depending on location and floor. The cheapest was one million, while the most expensive was one point eight million.Henry examined everything carefully, his brow furrowing.The price, of course, was nothing to him. He could buy the entire building without blinking.The problem was, with his wealth, he wouldn't live in an apartment.He needed a villa, at the very least."Heh, open your eyes and look at the prices! Now you know that the apartments here aren't for just anyone," Lisa sneered, arms crossed, mistaking his frown for disapproval."Sir, thank you for your time. I'll see you out," Susan said, the flicker of hope in her eyes extinguished. Without blaming Henry, she gently tugged at his sleeve, trying to give him an escape from the humiliation."Apartments a
