If Joel really fancied Cecilia, he could have confessed to her at any other time, but he chose her 20th birthday party.

Clearly, he had an ulterior motive.

But it was true that not everyone present could be so insightful.

Many young women in their twenties were impressed by Joel’s behavior and were rather bewildered by Cecilia’s decision to reject him on the spot.

“Seriously, isn’t Cecilia being a little too heartless? Joel has already said all of that, and he even specially chose to confess to her on her twentieth birthday. Isn’t it really romantic!?! Why did she turn him down?”

“Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Joel is from a top-tier family! If he proposed to me, I would definitely say yes to him without a second thought!”

“Hey, Miss Lancaster is just too condescending, and her standards are too high. If even a man like Joel can’t impress her, what kind of man does she want? She really doesn’t know how lucky she is.”

Most of them were young women who were hopeless romantics who cared onl

  • 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

  • Give me the card

    Nessa turned her head and said to Bill, “Honey, you must have taken the wrong card just now. The one million on this card should be the spending money for me, right? Give me this card and quickly take out your other card with a large balance! Hmph, it’s merely a few million. It’s peanuts to you!”Then Nessa hurriedly snatched that bank card from Jane’s hand and held it tightly with sweet bliss written all over her face.A few days ago, she had coquettishly asked Bill for some spending money after they had been intimate with each other.He had agreed to give her a card with a million for her to spend as she pleased.She thought that he was trying to give her a surprise by hiding it from her even though he had already prepared it.Nessa indulged in her thoughts happily.Celia couldn’t contain her amusement any longer and burst into laughter.She wasn’t trying to be rude, but rather, Bill’s current expression was just too hilarious.It was almost as if he was full of resentment as he sta

  • A 2.8 million dollar vase

    Facing Nessa acting like a mad dog barking, William and Celia didn’t bother to pay any attention.From now on, Celia would no longer see Nessa as her best friend. Besides, their situations were completely unlike what Nessa said, so she obviously wouldn’t care about what Nessa said.“Sir, I’m sorry, but the balance in your bank card is insufficient to pay for the vase…” Jane suddenly returned from the cashier with Bill’s bank card, looking rather awkward.“What? How is it possible that the balance is insufficient? I have a million on that card! How can it be insufficient for that stupid vase?” Bill immediately shouted angrily.Jane said with an apologetic look, “If you really only have a million on your card, it’s indeed insufficient because the vase you two just broke is a blue-and-white porcelain vase from the Ming Dynasty, which is extremely rare and precious. Its retail price is 2.8 million dollars, and the balance on your card is quite far from this.”Bill and Nessa widened their

  • Admitting defeat

    William once again reached out to stop Jane. “I appreciate your attitude toward customers, and that’s why you’re now the general manager of the Emerald Garden. However, that’s also why all your words and actions now represent the Emerald Garden and no longer just yourself personally.“Today’s incident is their fault in the first place, so they should compensate for breaking the vase in the store. If you really give in and submit to someone humiliating you and the Emerald Garden, it means that the Emerald Garden is stooping low to bow down to them. In that case, how can the Emerald Garden’s image be preserved in the hearts of the customers? Will there be more and more people coming here to cause trouble and take the opportunity to trample all over you?“I know you’re putting up with this today for the sake of settling this matter peacefully, but others may not think so. They’ll only think that you and the Emerald Garden are weak pushovers!“If he accidentally dropped his bank card, it

  • Falling out

    Anyway, she had shown off enough to Celia, and she was already getting ready to leave now.So she didn’t bother to pretend to be extremely close to Celia anymore, and her words became harsh and sarcastic.Celia didn’t expect Nessa to suddenly fall out with her and even speak in such a callous manner.At first, Celia was actually elated to see Nessa, her former best friend in high school.But as she continued to chat with Nessa, she began to find her intolerable.Given the way Nessa behaved, she clearly didn’t have any intention to chat with her at all.Instead, she was just flaunting.Celia had been tolerant toward her on account of their friendship.But now, Nessa had not only taken the initiative to fall out with her, but she even nitpicked on William and humiliated him greatly.She was not a good-tempered person in the first place, and at this moment, she was exasperated.“Enough! Nessa, what are you putting on airs and flaunting in front of me for? What does my life have to do wit
