Joel initially thought that by confessing to Cecilia in front of everyone at her birthday party, she would definitely be touched and say yes to him immediately.

He had assumed that she was a hopeless romantic, like most young girls her age.

He thought that even if she disagreed on the spot, she would at least give him some response.

He would then find some people to convince her, and they could finally establish their relationship.

But Cecilia actually didn’t save him from any embarrassment even though they were in front of so many people.

Most of the people in the banquet hall were children from various wealthy families in California.

Now that Cecilia had blatantly rejected him in front of everyone, he felt that he would be too embarrassed to speak to them in the future.

But Cecilia hadn’t finished saying her piece. “Also, Joel, I seem to remember telling you before that I never want to see you again. I don’t remember inviting you to my birthday party either. Why are you here? You ow

  • A thick skinned woman without shame

I was dumped mercilessly by that shameless man, and all he gave me was some worthless garbage. I became a laughing stock in front of everyone. Did you enjoy the show?“Celia Rodriguez, we’ve been best friends for years, yet you actually wanted to see me make a fool out of myself. You felt pleased to see me getting deceived and laughed at like a clown, didn’t you? You vicious wench!”The extreme rage, envy, and indignation made Nessa’s mind twist and her face distorted.“You shameless bitch!” She suddenly raised her hand to slap Celia on her face!When William saw this, his face instantly darkened, and he wanted to stop her.But the next second, he suddenly stopped moving.Celia was not to be trifled wit

  • A great man indeed

    Lucas refused to accept William’s money.Seeing Lucas really not wanting to accept the money, Jane helped persuade, “Mr. Belmont, since Mr. Clement sincerely wants to give you these two emerald pendants, you should accept them!”Lucas said with a pleading look, “Mr. Belmont, accept them. Or else, I won’t be able to explain to my grandfather!”William shook his head, “If I wanted them for myself, I wouldn’t be polite with you. But these are gifts meant for my family.”If Lucas wanted to give something to William for free, he wouldn’t mind accepting it.But he thought that it was insincere to gift his family things someone else gave him.After figuring this out, Lucas stopped persuading him and quickly said to Jane, “Wrap the two pendants up for Mr. Belmont immediately and give him a twenty percent discount!”William didn’t decline the 20% discount, which meant he would only be paying the cost price.“Yes, Mr. Clement!” Jane carefully took the Black Diamond Card from William with both h

  • Black Diamond Card

    After seeing the gold pattern on the black card William took out, many people exclaimed in astonishment, “It’s actually a Black Diamond Card!”“Oh my God. I’ve always only heard about this Black Diamond Card, but I’ve never heard of anyone actually owning one. I got to see it in the flesh today. It’s exactly what it looks like in the photos online!”“Who is this young man? How can he possess a terrifying Black Diamond Card?! Even the people of the top three families of Avalon haven’t been able to get a Black Diamond Card!”Even those who didn’t know what the black card signified found out from the exclamations just how prestigious this card was!For a while, countless gazes of shock, envy, and intrigue were cast on William.In particular, Bill’s and Nessa’s eyes were about to fall out of their sockets.They couldn’t believe this at all!William was clearly just a penniless man who couldn’t even afford a decent set of clothes.How could he suddenly take out a Black Diamond Card that wa

  • Watching the drama

    Bill’s face turned pale, and he felt devastated.Meanwhile, Lucas had already walked up to William and asked cautiously with great respect, “Mr. Belmont, this commotion hasn’t affected your mood, has it?”He had just been chatting happily with some business partners in an adjacent area under the guidance of his grandfather.But he was suddenly informed that someone was causing trouble in the Emerald Garden, and William was there again.Lucas was almost frightened to death!Just yesterday, William had visited the Clements’ Emerald Garden for the first time and had been provoked by some foolish employees.Lucas hurried over to teach them a lesson and promoted Jane, whom William recommended.He also admonished all the employees of the Emerald Garden.But one day later, there was yet another slip-up, and William had encountered an unhappy incident in the Emerald Garden again.Lucas felt that he was too embarrassed to face William again.He was also particularly worried that William might

  • Left completely dumbstruck

    “I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! You… said so many sweet nothings to me and gave me so many gifts. You clearly still love me! I don’t believe it!” she yelled hysterically.Bill said in annoyance, “How can you be so stupid?! If you don’t believe me, then take off the ring and bracelet you’re wearing and let the staff of the Emerald Garden authenticate them. I wish you’d hurry up and die so that you’ll stop pestering me!”Hearing this, Nessa hurriedly got up from the floor as if she had found a straw to clutch at and rushed to the service desk nearby.She frantically took off the diamond ring, emerald bracelet, and earrings she was wearing and pushed them to the jewelry appraiser in front of her.“Sir, quickly help me authenticate them and tell me if they’re genuine or not. Tell me if they’re from the Emerald Garden,” she said with great panic..The bespectacled treasure appraiser pushed his glasses up his nose bridge and picked up the emerald bracelet.He took a few glances at

  • Criticized relentlessly

    “I’ve long had enough of you, you incorrigible, foolish, and shameless wench! What else do you do daily besides pouting, whining, acting coquettish, and pestering me to buy you clothes and jewelry or give you money?“If you hadn’t thrown yourself at me and climbed into my bed, do you think I would have given you a second glance? People always say the ugly ones are the greatest troublemakers, but why do you still think you’re some angel? Why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror and see if you still look decent without makeup?“What else do you see besides money? How much money I have has nothing to do with you. Have you ever earned a single cent yourself? You’re just like a bloodsucking leech who only knows how to pester me to buy you this and that!“I was just toying with you, you hideous and shameless woman. Do you think I’d really spend so much money on you?“Hmph, I might as well tell you the truth. Your emerald bracelet, earrings, ring, clothes, and handbag are all high
