After Damon left, Faith’s wife, Joan, said with a
displeased expression, My daughter Veronica is pure and chaste, but he’s asking for your sister's daughter, Rachael who is married and even has a child. What does he want? Why does he want to become a stepfather?" Joan sneered, "Who cares what his problem is? Since he wants to marry a widowed woman, let him. With this relationship with our family, almost all the big businessmen who have been competing for that contract will finally let it go. Who knows, we might even be able to join the ranks of the top families in Lake City." Suddenly, Joan said, "Rachael’s husband, how did he die? Do you think it's possible that..." Joan's face changed and he said, "Don't talk nonsense. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us." In the community, Thomas and his group entered a clothing store. Because his mother-in-law said that they were going to attend her grandfather's 80th birthday party tomorrow and couldn't dress too shabbily, otherwise they would embarrass her grandfather in front of the guests, which would be a big trouble. Their family's money was all spent on Emma’s medical expenses. They were already struggling to make ends meet. Rachael and her mother can’t remember the last time they bought new clothes. Amelia had good taste. She picked out several suitable clothes after looking around. But when she saw the price tag, she gave up. Each piece costs over 500 dollars. At this moment, a woman walked in. It was Adessa. "Oh, look who is here, isn’t this Peter the useless son-in-law. "What are you people doing here? Thomas had no patience for this sharp-tongued and crooked-toothed woman, and said coldly, "It's none of your business, get lost!" Adessa laughed, "Haha, tell me to get lost? Do you know where this is? This is where my aunt works... Auntie, come quickly! Watch out, there are some people here trying to steal something!" As soon as she finished saying that, "smack!" Thomas slapped Adessa in the face. Rachael and Amelia were also shocked, not expecting him to react like that. Adessa screamed, covering her face, with a fierce look, "You fool, how dare you hit me?" Thomas sneered, "Why not? How dare you call us thieves. "You..." At this moment, a woman in her forties ran out from inside, with thick foundation on her face, as white as a ghost, shouting, "What's going on? Adessa, what happened to you? Who hit you? You have the guts to hit someone in our store? This woman was Amanda, Adessa's aunt. Thomas said lightly, "Oh, so you're not the owner here, you're just a salesperson! Your niece called us thieves, I slapped her, do you have any objections?" Adessa fiercely shouted, "Did I insult you? Don't you see what brand of clothes these are? Can you people afford them?" Amanda said, "That's right, they look like a bunch of poor people. The clothes they're wearing can't even compare to one of ours! Their hands are also very dirty, they've even dirtied our clothes!" Adessa added, "And that's not all, Auntie. Do you know who he is? He's the man who sold his wife in the name of gambling. Rachael couldn't take it anymore and pulled Thomas, saying, "Let's not buy from this store, let's go to another one!" Adessa blocked them, "You want to leave just like that after hitting me? Thomas' eyes turned cold, "What do you want me to do? Hit you again?" Amanda shouted angrily, "You're still being arrogant? You came in here to steal our clothes and even hit my niece. Who do you think you are? Hope you know I can make this community unbearable for your family?" At this moment, a beautiful woman walked in from outside, "What's all the noise about? Amanda, who are you talking about?" "Oh, boss!" Amanda immediately greeted the woman respectfully and then pointed at Thomas and the others, "Boss, these people are notorious thieves who can't afford the clothes here. They touched everything and even dirtied the clothes. I suspect they came to steal clothes and were caught by my niece. She was even slapped by him." The beautiful woman's eyes turned cold, "Is this true?" Thomas sneered, "What proof do you have that we were stealing? You opened the shop for business, don’t customers have the right to touch the clothes? How am I supposed to know if they fit without trying them on? Do you want to sell or not? Adessa snorted, "Alright, alright, stop pretending. Everyone knows who you are. Thomas called over another young female salesperson in the store and pointed to the two sets that his mother-in-law had just selected, as well as two other clothes that he thought were good and fit for Rachael as well as his daughter, "Please give me these few sets, in their sizes. I want them all!" Then he turned to the female boss and said, "Miss, can we include her commission for the clothes we're buying?" The boss looked at Thomas with a sense of awe. Rachael quickly grabbed Thomas's hand and whispered, "Peter, are you crazy? Have you seen the price tags on these clothes? They're very expensive, and we can't afford them." Thomas patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I can afford it! Rachael, you've worked hard these past few years, and I promised to give you a life of luxury. I will keep my promise, it's just a few pieces of clothing." Rachael looked at him in a daze, feeling speechless. Soon, they picked out the clothes. Both Amelia and Rachael had great figures, and the clothes looked good on them. "Sir, the total is 10,000 dollars!" The young lady said. "What? So expensive?" Rachael shouted. She thought it would be around 2000, which was already expensive. However, she didn't know that the clothes Thomas picked out were much more expensive than the ones they had originally picked out. As for Amelia, she didn't want to say anything to Thomas anymore. She just watched coldly, not believing that he could afford it. She thought he was just trying to show off in front of Adessa and had put himself in a hopeless situation. "It's okay, it's just 10,000. In the future, I will buy you clothes worth more than that!" Thomas said confidently, taking out a card. Adessa sneered and sniffed, daring to brag so much! Rachael covered her face and couldn't bear to watch. She knew very well Thomas was not having any money on that card. Just a few days ago, she had checked the balance and there was no money left... Sure enough, there's always something more humiliating than the most humiliating thing! When the card couldn't withdraw any money, that would be the real shame. She already knows how Adessa would mock them. By then, the whole community would surely know.Latest Chapter
CHAPTER 152: WHEN APPEARANCE DECEIVES
The woman was in her mid-twenties, tall and slender with delicate features. Despite wearing casual clothes, her alluring curves were still evident. However, her face showed signs of exhaustion and weariness, with a hint of anger in her furrowed brows as she glared at Garrett.Without a doubt, she was Ophelia.Garrett was taken aback and quickly spoke respectfully, "Madam, you have misunderstood. I am worried about your son and would never make fun of him. That's why I invited Professor Gray all the way from Indian. I was even surprised that Director Thelma recommended such a young doctor who claims to be divine. Which divine doctor is so young? He even dresses like adeliveryman." Ophelia glanced at Thomas andimmediately furrowed her brows. Thomas' clothes were indeed shabby. In the eyes of someone from a wealthy family like hers, he looked no different from a beggar. Her gaze turned cold as she looked at Thelma, "Director Thelma, I know you and Director Garrett are competing for the
CHAPTER 151: WHEN EXPERTISE COLLIDES
"His name is Mason, he's four years old this year, and was diagnosed with heart disease three months ago. At first, we performed the surgery and everything was fine, but recently it has taken a turn for the worse. All kinds of medical treatments have been used, but he’s still not getting better." Thomas frowned, "This situation is really strange." Mrs. Thelma looked at him, "Are you sure?" Thomas smiled, "I haven't even seen what the patient looks like, how can I conclude?" Thelma then said, "Peter, this matter is a favor that I'm asking you for. The thing is that Ophelia, and I don't actually have a deep relationship, but she is a famous socialite in Lake City, with a prominent background. There's something I need her help with, and I want you to help me with this favor. If you help me, I'll owe you big time." Thomas was taken aback by her words. He thought to himself: "Could this be some kind of hint?"Thelma noticed his strange expression and seemed to realize that her words were
CHAPTER 150: NEGOTIATIONS AND DISTRACTIONS
After Thomas finished his phone call, Andrea anxiously asked, "You mentioned Ophelia just now, what's the situation?" She was becoming increasingly curious about Thomas. Unconsciously, her interest in him had grown, and she didn't even realize that her previous disgust towards him had disappeared from her eyes. Thomas didn't explain anything and said, "I have a way to solve the Ophelia issue. Do you have a bottle of the Cream with you? Give me one first." In preparation for the marketing plan, Thomas had previously made a batch of the cream with exquisite packaging, but he didn't have any on him.Andrea became even more curious and asked, "You tell me first, how did you solve it?" "Why do you need to know? You just need to know the result.""I want to know, otherwise I won't give it to you.""You...this is business. Do you think we're playing house? Until the matter is resolved,everything is confidential. Do you understand? You used to be a marketing manager. Andrea didn't get an an
CHAPTER 149: AN UNEXPECTED CALL
Red muttered under his breath, and in the next moment, he jumped up and rushed out of the ward. He was going to find Mr. Kelvin and ask him what was going on. Blossom picked up the flowers on the ground and threw them out of the door, cursing, "Red, you bastard, you deserve everything bad happening to you and more for the rest of your life!"The members of the Owen family were even more displeased with Amelia. Cindy directly insulted Rachael, calling her a seductive fox spirit. If it weren't for her, Red wouldn't have suddenly changed his mind. Cindy took the money that Red had left behind. The family couldn't stand being in the hospital room any longer, so they left. Amelia said, "Grandma will have surgery tomorrow, so we have to stay here. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble might arise." Thomas suggested, "Let's book a hotel first." There is a hotel next to the hospital, and Thomas booked two rooms. Just as they settled in, Andrea called Rachael’s phone, saying that she was i
CHAPTER 148: THE PRICE OF CROSSING THE WRONG MAN
Thomas wasn't angry. In his eyes, Red was no different from an ant. Besides, he would soon learn about the realities of society. However, Blossom was about to go crazy. The Owen family was on the verge of losing their minds. Blossom hysterically shouted, "Red, are you even human? We've been together for a year, living together for half a year, and now you want to break up just because of Rachael, a married woman you've only known for a short time?" Red remained unmoved, still kneeling on the ground. "It's not about how long we've known each other. It's love at first sight! Blossom, to be honest, I didn't really like you at first. It was you who forced yourself onto me. It was your cousin who made me fall in love for the first time. I must marry her and give her the best! Peter, divorce Rachael, and I'll give you one million. How about it?" Thomas sneered, "You should first pay us the money you owe us. If Mr. Kelvin finds out that you still haven't paid us, who knows what he'll do?"
CHAPTER 147: RED’S SHAMEFUL CONFESSION
Just then, someone walked in. It was Red. He had changed his clothes and was holding a large bouquet of bright red roses, as if he were about to propose. Lazarus and Cindy breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn't afford to let this man slip away. It seemed that he had gone to buy flowers!Although Blossom still had a stern expression on her face, her eyes had softened, indicating that she was still pleased. Bonnie nudged her sister and whispered, "Sis, don't be angry anymore. Your man has come back with flowers to make it up to you. If you push him too far, he might really leave."Blossom then walked slowly towards Red. "Hey, I thought you had really left. You'd better come back obediently." Beside them, Cindy quickly said, "Hey, Red, you're so thoughtful! This bouquet must have cost a fortune, and it represents true feelings. Blossom, hurry up and take it!" Even the old lady on the bed smiled and said, "With such a son-in-law, I have no regrets in life! Rachael, look at the man Bloss
