Samuel’s expression froze when he heard the owner’s words. There was no surprise—but there was a problem. It was a serious conundrum, having to explain everything to Yvonne.“Do you have any experience with hiding your inheritance, sir?” he asked the owner. “How would you explain it if you got found out?”The owner suddenly cackled aloud. “You’ve come to the right person,” he said. “It requires great skill to hide your inheritance. And I have no experience in this field of expertise.”Samuel rolled his eyes. He had been taking the old man seriously, and he was just pulling his leg.The owner’s expression turned just as awkward as his. “Why do we men earn money? It’s to let our wives spend it,” he continued. “How could anyone do such a heinous thing like hide their inheritance? Take me for example. I never had a thought like this cross my mind.“We slave our entire lives to make our woman happy, no? In the past, King You of the Chinese Zhou dynasty waged wars against warlords for the sa
Only one person had booked the entire restaurant before. Two years ago, the son of a wealthy family chose to propose to his girlfriend in the Crystal Restaurant. The event had been a huge sensation, and many women had intently admired his girlfriend. This incident was also a stark contrast against how Samuel had married into the Sues, and plenty of people had compared the two episodes.“No problem. Do you have any special requests in mind?” the manager replied happily. The restaurant was a business that was out to make a profit. Since this customer said that money was not a problem, naturally everything else was not a problem.“Can you arrange a piano to be in the middle of the restaurant?” Samuel asked.“No problem at all,” the manager replied. “So long as you are able to pay, we will fulfill your every need and want.”Samuel stayed for a while, discussing details with the manager. He only left after he paid the deposit.The waiters in the restaurant could not help but recall the inci
Linda's pent-up anger was boiling after seeing Yara covering her mouth and giggling sarcastically."What's wrong with the twenty-second? Does that day even represent anything?" Linda asked.Yara deliberately used that to mock Yvonne, but even if Linda took over the conversation, Yara would certainly not let go of the opportunity to continue ridiculing Yvonne."It doesn't signify anything, but this is the sheer difference. After all, it happened on the same day, and even if I don't say anything, I can't stop outsiders from remembering the twenty-second from three years ago," Yara said."Plenty of things happened on that day but all you can do is watch yearningly. Does it even have anything to do with you?" Linda retorted.Yara snorted coldly and said, "I don’t really care whether or not it has anything to do with me. At least I don't have such a useless man. You can’t even begin to imagine how rich my future husband’s family will be."Linda heard from Yvonne about those betrothal gifts
Ten days later, the vibe in the Crystal Restaurant became increasingly intense. Since the person who booked the restaurant was not revealed, countless people were very curious about it and even guessed all the local rich boys in Cloud City. After all those rich boys dispelled the rumors one by one, greater doubts were cast over that matter.As for the Sue family, they were unsurprisingly brought up again and it became an after-dinner joke for many people. The timing was too coincidental and it was difficult not to recall what happened in the past.The Sue family’s relatives were all angry. If it were not for Samuel, they would not have become another person’s joke. Almost everyone in the family had turned down recent banquets. Even the old lady of the Sue family did not leave home—she planned to wait for all the publicity to pass before going out again."It's irritating. What does that piece of trash Samuel have to do with us? People keep talking about the Sue family and make it look l
Linda asked suspiciously, "Who’s this?""Samuel."Linda was initially rather startled when she heard his name, but she subsequently had a cold sneer on her lips. She tried her luck with Samuel before but he treated her as though he had face blindness. She thought he was not interested in her beauty, but it surprised her that he would give her a personal call.Sure enough, men were all trash."A fox will show its tail sooner or later. You finally can't take it anymore?" Linda said coldly."I want to ask a favor from you," Samuel said. He already expected Linda to misunderstand his call, but after explaining his intentions, he believed he could dispel any misunderstanding."Samuel, Yvonne has suffered so much in your hands and now you’re thinking of hitting on her best friend? People like you should be slashed a million times." Linda did not believe that Samuel looked for her because of something important. She was certain that his heart had turned fickle and he wanted to ask her out."D
Could it be... Could it be that Samuel was the mysterious figure who booked the entire Crystal Restaurant?Yvonne had a stupefied look at that point too. Crystal Restaurant, on the top floor, had been booked by someone half a month ago. Even if Linda had a tremendous amount of self-respect, it was impossible for her to hold a party at Crystal Restaurant. "Linda, does this have anything to do with Samuel?" Yvonne thought of only one possibility and her breathing became inexplicably urgent.Linda's brain had lost all cognitive ability. Although she was very much in disbelief, were there any other possibilities aside from that explanation? "Yes Yvonne. Samuel was the one who asked me to bring you here," Linda admitted. An inexplicable feeling of envy surfaced in her heart. If it really was Samuel who prepared that gigantic surprise for Yvonne, would she not become the happiest woman in the entire Cloud City that day?It was then that the elevator reached the top floor. Both women were l
"Don’t you know that they’re all calling you useless?"Don’t you know how uncomfortable I feel after hearing those words?"Samuel held Yvonne tightly in his arms and said softly, "I know."Beside them, Linda was moved to tears. At that juncture, she felt that all the grievances her best friend endured were entirely worth it. Regardless of how Samuel managed to plan everything, at the very least, Yvonne would be happy right then and invoke feelings of jealousy of Cloud City’s women.‘But, why? Why did you have to be the piano prince?’Linda knew that her dream had been completely shattered.This night, rose petals floated throughout Crystal Restaurant the entire night. Compared with the sensational declaration of love two years ago, the only dissatisfaction with the present occasion was that no one managed to find out who the people involved were.That night, when Samuel slept on his floor mattress, Yvonne suddenly asked from the bed, "Are you cold?"It was early summer, and women who s
Hex Capital Nightclub.It was around mid-morning and a few thuggish-looking people were standing at the door, smoking cigarettes and chatting. A place like that was usually closed for business during daylight, but at that moment, an Audi stopped at the entrance.Samuel got out of the car.When they saw Samuel, those thugs stood up one by one."What are you doing? We're not open for business yet," one of them said to Samuel."I'm looking for Johann Lynn," Samuel spoke curtly.Several of those thugs looked at Samuel with a sneer when they heard that. Johann was the boss of Hex Capital and was also the big shot in the underbelly scene of Cloud City. He was certainly not someone who could be asked to meet on a whim."What kind of joke are you? The first thing that comes out of your mouth is you want to see our boss. Some tone you’ve got there.""Don’t you see how many fists we have?"Several of them began to fold their sleeves as if about to start a fistfight."Tell him Samuel is here."
