Norris was also extremely grateful and sincerely said, "Allen, I really can't thank you enough for this."
Allen smiled, "You're being too polite to thank me like this."The scar-faced man now looked at Hamlin, who was unconscious from the beating, and said with a terrified and worried expression, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Allen! I hit your friend..."
Allen said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. He's not my friend, and we have no connection." After a pause, he added, "Take him to the hospital. Don't let him ruin our meal here." The scar-faced man immediately nodded, "We'll take him to the hospital right away!Please continue your meal, Mr. Allen. We won't disturb you anymore!"
With that, he quickly gestured to his men, hoisted the unconscious Hamlin onto their shoulders, and fled in a hurry.The way everyone looked at Allen had shifted from disdain to astonishment, then from astonishment to awe.
No one knew why Allen held such enormous influence. This son-in-law who had married into the family seemed to have transformed into a completely different person overnight!
At the banquet, many people rushed to flatter Allen—including Rosalie, who had been the first to look down on him.
Now, Rosalie regarded Allen as a true deity, repeatedly thanking him and even offering permanent free meals.
Allen didn't care much about this; he was simply doing Norris a favor and resolving a minor problem for him.
But in the eyes of others, his actions today had already taken on a somewhat magical hue!
Everyone wondered what exactly had happened to this dependent son-in-law who had married into the family.
Mia was also curious about what had happened today.
First, why was Allen's BMW 520 twice as fast as Hamlin's BMW 540?
Then there was Allen's ancient painting that cost only $10000!
Additionally, why did Allen know people in the criminal world, and why did those people show him so much respect?
On the way back, Allen explained to her.
He told Mia that this BMW 520 was a modified test drive vehicle from the 4S store. In order to make users mistakenly believe the car had powerful performance, they had made some modifications.
Mia didn't know much about cars, so she gullibly believed him.
As for the ancient painting, he had already explained before that someone had transferred it to him at a low price as a favor, and out of reciprocity, he had given it to Norris.
However, the matter of the scar-faced man was trickier.
After all, the man had been so obsequious in calling him "Mr. Allen," and Allen didn't know how to explain it.
In the end, he could only say that the scar-faced man's boss was a relative of a friend of his. They had met at a friend's gathering before,
and the man was showing him respect only because of his friend.
Mia felt something was off, but seeing how certain Allen was, she knew there was no point in pressing further, so she didn't ask more questions.
Caroline had been observing Allen and increasingly felt that he was no ordinary person.
She decided to pay more attention to him in the future and find out what secrets he might be hiding!
It is said that Hamlin was in a terrible state, unconscious when he was rushed to the hospital.
His father was fired by the Delaney Group and then exposed for abusing his position for personal gain. He was immediately arrested by the public security authorities after being sued by the legal department of the Delaney Group. It can be said that the Hamlin family was completely ruined. However, the Hamlins had little fame in Plath City, and no one paid much attention to their fate.What truly captured everyone's attention was the god-level rich man on the short-video platform,
and the mysterious big shot who was about to book out the Ritz-Carlton Sky City. Everyone was eager to find out who they were and whether they were the same person!Soon, the day of the wedding anniversary arrived.
Since Allen had already told Mia he would give her a surprise, he insisted that she change into an elegant white evening gown before they went out. Mia agreed reluctantly, muttering as she did so, "It's just a dinner. Why do I have to wear such formal clothes? Even if today is our wedding anniversary, is all this formality really necessary?" Allen smiled and said, "Today is our third anniversary. Of course, we need to do things properly. I've already booked the restaurant, and I promise tonight's arrangements will satisfy you." He had kept the details strictly confidential these past few days, so his wife hadn't suspected a thing. Mia smiled softly, touched by his efforts. For the first two anniversaries, they had spent the day at home casually. Although ordinary, even when Allen had no money, he would always prepare thoughtful little gifts to please her. This year, however, Allen was acting unusually mysterious, leaving her unable to guess what new surprise her husband had in store.A short while later, they got dressed and took a taxi to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Allen stepped out of the car and looked at Mia standing beside him.His gaze was incredibly gentle as he said, "Mia, let's celebrate our third wedding anniversary here tonight. What do you think?"
Mia's expression instantly turned strange. Was the restaurant Allen had booked tonight really here? She blurted out, "You're not kidding me, are you?" Allen smiled and said, "Of course not!" He added, "I made a reservation here a few days ago. If you don't believe me, we can go in and check the booking information." Mia shook her head. In their three years of marriage, Allen had never lied to her, especially not on such an important day. "No need, I trust you," she said. Then she asked, "You didn't book a table in Sky City, did you? I heard someone important has reserved the entire place today." Allen quickly replied, "I booked a table next to Sky City. We can see inside Sky City from there. Maybe we'll get to see who the important person is who reserved it, don't you think?" Mia laughed. "I'm not as curious as you!"The two then entered the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. As they were about to go upstairs, they suddenly heard a woman exclaim:
"Wow, Mia! What are you doing here?" Mia looked up and saw a young couple approaching.The man was wearing an expensive suit, clearly a wealthy young master from some family.
The woman was decked out in designer brands, with a glamorous makeup look, though her eyes held a hint of arrogance.
Her overall style was slightly vulgar, as if she were posing to attract attention.
Mia recognized the woman: Daisy, her college roommate.
Though they had shared a dorm, they hadn't been in the same class.
Their relationship had always been lukewarm. Daisy was overly self-important and highly jealous.
She had always believed Mia unworthy of the "campus belle" title and thought she herself deserved it instead.
In reality, however, Daisy fell short of Mia in looks, figure, presence, and intellect in every way.
Daisy's one "advantage" was her ability to cozy up to wealthy men.
It was said she had dated many rich guys in college, and they had paid for all her expenses during those four years.
Mia frowned, but out of politeness as former classmates, she forced a greeting: "Daisy, long time no see."

Alan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Four years already. Time really flies.Does it feel fast? Mia said earnestly. To me, time hasn’t passed quickly at all. So many things have happened in these four years, and you’ve changed more than anyone.Alan scratched the tip of his nose. Oh? Have I changed?Mia nodded. Of course you have! Your whole demeanor, aura, and bearing are completely different from when we first got married.She murmured softly, It’s strange though.
