Rosalie smiled coquettishly and said, "Oh, you're so amazing!"
"The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't have a chance to call you. Besides, Norris was there too—I was afraid you'd be upset if you saw him!"Henry gave her waist a pinch and laughed, "You're quite thoughtful!"
Rosalie quickly rubbed her chest against his arm,
"Henry, will you please buy me a BMW X6?"Henry smiled and said, "Here's the deal: first, come to my place later.
Let me 'feed' you properly a few times, and then you break up with Norris. Tomorrow, I'll come buy you the BMW X6!"Rosalie asked excitedly, "Henry, are you serious?
Will you really buy me the X6 tomorrow?""When have I ever lied to you?" Henry sneered. "But first, you need to make sure I'm thoroughly satisfied!"
Rosalie immediately batted her eyes seductively and said,
"Don't worry, Henry. As soon as we get to your place, I'll serve you perfectly!"With that, the two turned and left the 4S store.
Furious at the despicable pair, Alan immediately took out his phone and called Norris.
As soon as Norris answered, he exclaimed cheerfully, "Alan! What's up? Is there anything wrong?"Alan said coolly, "Just calling to check in. What are you busy with right now?"
Norris replied, "I'm helping out in the restaurant kitchen. It's almost noon, and we're about to open for business."
Alan asked, "Do you work at the restaurant every day?"
Norris said, "Yeah, the restaurant just opened, so there's a lot to do. Besides, Rosalie's father invested more than half of the money. If I don't work hard, her family will look down on me."Alan asked again, "How much did you invest?"
"I put in $50,000 – that's all my savings since graduating from college."Alan continued, "Who's the owner of the restaurant?"
Norris replied, "It's me!" Alan asked, "Is it registered under your name with the industry and commerce bureau?" "Not exactly – the industrial and commercial registration is under Rosalie's father's name. Since Rosalie and I aren't married yet, it wouldn't be appropriate to put my name on it when they're the ones who invested the money."After a pause, Norris added, "But her father said that after we get married, he'll transfer the actual ownership of the restaurant to me."
Alan shook his head inwardly – what a fool, being used without even realizing it!
Rosalie was treating him like a slave, making him hustle at the restaurant in the development zone while she cheated on him with wealthy men and planned to dump him. Right now, the restaurant's legal registration had nothing to do with Norris. If Rosalie turned on him, he'd be left with nothing – all his hard work would be for nothing, and his $50,000 investment would be gone too!Thinking of this, Alan felt even more disgusted with Rosalie. He bluntly asked Norris, "What's Rosalie doing right now?"
Norris smiled and said, "She went to get a beauty treatment."
Alan sneered, "A beauty treatment? That's what she told you?" "Yeah!" "And you just believe her?" Norris asked in a puzzled tone, "Alan, what exactly do you mean? Just say it straight, no beating around the bush." Alan said, "Fine, I'll be direct.I saw Rosalie at the BMW 4S store, and she was hugging a man named Henry. She kept calling him 'darling' too—you might be getting cheated on."
"No way!" Norris blurted out. "Rosalie isn't that kind of person!Are you sure you mistook someone else for her?"
Alan insisted, "I didn't mistake anyone. It was definitely her." "I don't believe it!" Norris snapped coldly. "Alan, we're good friends, but you can't badmouth my fiancée just because of our relationship!" Alan said sharply, "Norris, wake up! Your fiancée is already with another man.That Henry even promised to buy her a BMW X6. Right now, Rosalie is going home with him, and she's planning to break up with you tonight!
As an old classmate, I advise you to prepare for this."
Before Norris could respond, Alan added, "You'd better move that painting I gave you out first.Keeping it gives you capital to make a comeback. But if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
Norris grew agitated and shouted, "Alan! Stop spouting nonsense here!"Rosalie is my fiancée. I know her character best - she would never betray me!
If you slander her again, I'll break off our friendship!
Alan frowned and said calmly, "Alright, as a friend, this is what I should remind you.If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Good luck!"
With that, Alan hung up the phone directly. What a fool who's been carried away by love! I should have secretly recorded a video and sent it to him just now! At this moment, the manager of the BMW dealership knocked on the car window and said, "Sir, are you satisfied with this 530?" Alan nodded. "It's good. I'll take this model. Please transfer a new one from the warehouse for me." The manager immediately beamed with joy. "Please wait a moment. I'll arrange for someone to bring the car over right away!" Alan smoothly swiped his card to pay, picked up the car, and drove away swaggeringly. On the way back, his father - in - law and mother - in - law took turns calling to ask if he had returned. When Alan arrived downstairs, he found that his father - in - law and mother - in - law were already waiting there. Seeing that Alan had indeed bought a BMW 530, the old couple beamed with excitement. The father - in - law walked around the BMW several times and sighed, "What a great car! What a great car! I never thought I'd ever get to drive a BMW!" Alan smiled and said, "Dad, you might even get to drive a Rolls - Royce in the future." The father - in - law laughed heartily. "That depends on your capabilities!" The mother - in - law was also overjoyed beside them, and her attitude towards Alan had improved significantly.The father-in-law got into the car for a test drive and said after returning,
"This car is truly excellent, and it drives smoothly. But it's too long, so it's not very easy to maneuver. Alan, be my driver this afternoon and accompany me to run some errands. I made an appointment with someone to go take a look at something." Alan nodded, "Okay, Dad."The mother-in-law chimed in excitedly,
"Later, be my driver too and take me to afternoon tea with my friends! Let them see that I also get chauffeured around in a BMW now!" "Okay, Mom!"After lunch, the father-in-law, Gilmore, dressed neatly and urged Alan,
"Alan, get ready quickly. Drive our new car and take me to the Antique Street. There's a shop that just got a Tang Dynasty official kiln vase in stock, and I need to go appraise it."Alan couldn't help but advise,
"Dad, are you getting into antiques again? We don't have a lot of money. Isn't buying antiques a bit too extravagant?"Gilmore had no real talent for making money but harbored many get-rich-quick dreams.
He loved wandering around the Antique Street in his spare time, dreaming of making a lucky bargain. But over the past few years, he'd mostly been scammed. He had laid low for a while before, but now it seemed he hadn't quit entirely—instead, his obsession had reignited.Annoyed that Alan dared to question him, Gilmore snorted and said,
"Stop talking nonsense and just drive me there already."Alan sighed but didn't dare disobey, so he drove his father-in-law to the Antique Street.
Along the way, Gilmore sat in the new BMW, utterly smug. Instead of the passenger seat, he chose the spacious back row, barking driving instructions at Alan while demanding he play music through the car stereo.Soon, they arrived at the Antique Street, and Gilmore hurriedly ordered,
"Find a parking spot quickly and park the car. Don't make me late for my appointment to view the goods!"Latest Chapter
Chapter 686 Meeting Uncle Omba (Part 2)
Huh?The husband and wife were both stunned speechless the moment they heard this.Alan looked equally awkward and said earnestly, I’m so sorry, Uncle Omba, Aunt Nancy. I’ve let Juliet down, and I’ve failed the engagement arrangement made between your family and my parents all those years ago.Omba sighed, patted Alan on the shoulder, and said solemnly, Alan, I don’t know everything you’ve been through these years, but I can tell you’ve had an extremely tough time. You were only eight when you were forced to wander alone in the world. You must have had no say in many things. Let’s put the engagement aside for now. Tell me in detail how you survived all these years.That’s right, Nancy chimed in with a nod. We can take our time to talk about the engagement later. Let’s sit down and have lunch first, chat while we eat.Omba took Alan by the hand and seated him beside his own chair.As soon as they sat down, he warmly urged Alan, Alan, let’s eat first.

Chapter 685 Meeting Uncle Omba (Part 1)
Among the scarce standalone villas located in the city proper, Oceanfront Mansion ranks as one of the most exclusive high-end villa compounds.Every villa here is priced at no less than two hundred million US dollars, grand and extravagantly furnished.Even so, it still cannot hold a candle to the Smith Family’s mansion.In Alan’s memory, the Smith Family residence was not a luxury villa built by real estate developers, but the former royal mansion of a Qing Dynasty prince.It embodied true understated luxury and magnificent grandeur. Alan recalled that the dozens of golden nanmu pillars alone inside the mansion were priceless treasures.It was said that as early as more than a decade ago, a single such pillar was already valued at over a hundred million on the market.Juliet drove the car back home. The courtyard gate and the garage door slid open automatically.A maid in her forties hurried into the garage, opened the car door for her, and asked respectfully, Miss, Madam has finishe
Chapter 684 Reunion with Juliet
Luckily, he had run into Juliet again at just the right time. If their reunion had waited until after Omba passed away from his severe illness, there would have been nothing he could do to save him.He then comforted her gently, Don’t worry too much about this. I’ll sort everything out for you once I arrive.Juliet said in a choked voice, Thank you, Brother Alan. Just having you come to see Dad will make him so happy!Not wanting to talk too much and risk Caroline beside him catching any important details from the conversation, Alan said, I’ll let you go for now. The plane is about to take off, and we need to turn off our phones.Juliet replied quickly, Alright, Brother Alan. I’ll wait for you in Neon City!After Alan hung up the call, Caroline beside him couldn’t help but smile and tease, You’re really something now, Alan. No wonder everyone calls you Master Alan. From the way you were talking just now, it sounds like someone’s waiting for you to rush over and save the day!Alan gave

Avi nodded with an ingratiating smile and said, Then make sure you stay safe on the way!Watching Alan walk out the door, she quickly called out after him, Dear son-in-law, if you come across anything nice in Neon City, bring me a little gift back by the way!Mm, alright.Alan gave a perfunctory reply and stepped out of the house.Plus City AirportAlan had no luggage with him, so he went straight to get his boarding pass and passed through security.Since Claude had booked him a first-class ticket, he headed directly to the VIP lounge after clearing security.The flight was scheduled to take off at 10 a.m. At nine twenty, a lounge staff member personally escorted him to board the plane ahead of time.Alan was the first to get on board.

The seats could be fully reclined into a flat bed, allowing passengers
Chapter 682 Departure for Neon City (Part 1)
She couldn’t help walking over to Alan, snuggling gently into his arms. Gazing up at the twinkling stars scattered across the sky, she said with a look of pure happiness, After the New Year, it’ll be our fourth year of marriage.Yeah. 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. When I think about it, the changes are huge… yet at the same time, it all feels so natural. It’s as if you were always meant to be this way.Alan let out a soft sigh and said to her, By the way, honey. The feng shui consultation trip to Neon City is all set. I’m leaving tomorrow morning.
