The private booth's door swung open, and the overweight Elon barged in, flanked by two burly bodyguards. Oscar's face lit up, and he quickly stood, his tone dripping with flattery. "Mr. Golding, you're here!" Elon barely grunted in response, not even sparing a glance at the Stevens family. To him, they were just a bunch of small-town nobodies, not worth his time. Oscar turned to the Stevens family with a smug grin. "Mr. and Mrs. Stevens, Aspen, allow me to introduce someone. This is Mr. Elon Golding, of the Goldings, one of the Five Apex Families!" Zephyr quickly stood up, eyes wide with a mix of surprise and disbelief. "Oscar, Mr. Golding is your friend?" Oscar's grin stretched even wider. "Mr. Stevens, you flatter me!" Then, he turned to Elon and added, "Mr. Golding, you're so kind to drop by! Please, have a seat." Zephyr also quickly gestured to an open seat. "Please, Mr. Golding, have a seat!" The other Stevens family members scrambled to make room, fully aware that

Oscar said, "There's a lowlife strutting around like he owns the place, and I can't stand it! So, I figured I'd ask you to swing by, Mr. Golding, and show this clown what real power looks like. Help me put some respect on my name, you feel me?" Elon replied, "Alright, since you've served me well before, I'll come over!" Oscar was overjoyed, grinning so wide his face almost twisted. "Great! I'll be at the hotel waiting for you, Mr. Golding! That little punk tried to steal my girl! Mr. Golding, don't hold back when you see him! I want him humiliated so bad he'll wish he never showed up!" Elon scoffed. "Got it. Just showing up is enough to make anyone back off. Whatever effect you want, I'll make it happen!" After hanging up, Oscar sneered, rubbing his hands together. He just needed Elon to show up, and his moment to shine would finally begin. … In the private room, they were well into the meal, with multiple rounds of drinks and various dishes served. When Oscar returned and

Esther's gaze at Andrew had unknowingly turned cautious. Just as Zephyr had warned, Andrew was not just a small fish in a pond—he was a monster in the deep sea. Zephyr's thoughts ran even deeper. He quickly ran the numbers in his mind, comparing Andrew's assets to those of the Bridgefields' Stevens family. The Stevens, an established family in their own right, had a combined net worth of around 20 billion. Yet, when stacked against Andrew, it was barely a third. Sighing, Zephyr raised his glass and offered a toast. "Mr. Lloyd, you're truly remarkable. Even without Aspen as a factor, I'd still have immense respect for you." Andrew lifted his glass with a relaxed smile. "You're too kind, Mr. Stevens. I've said it before, I owe my success to your precious daughter." After Zephyr's toast, the rest of the Stevens family quickly followed suit, standing one by one to raise their glasses. None dared be left out, each exchanging warm words and friendly banter with Andrew. Meanwhile

Looking closer, it was obvious that each gift bag alone appeared incredibly high-end and luxurious. Esther hurriedly said, "Aspen, Mr. Lloyd, what are these? How could you spend so much money? This is too extravagant!" Aspen snorted and replied, "Mom, Dad, Judith, please accept these gifts without worry! Besides, I didn't pay for these gifts. My boss here is the generous one who spends lavishly!" This statement immediately caused Zephyr, Esther, and everyone in the Stevens family to look at Andrew in unison. Andrew calmly picked up his tea and drank it, maintaining his composure without changing his expression. Being the most excited and active, Judith had already started rummaging through the gifts. Esther was about to stop Judith, but the little girl suddenly exclaimed in shock, holding the receipt, "Oh my goodness, these things actually cost 198.88 million dollars…" She turned to Aspen and Andrew, adding, "You guys are like next-level rich, aren't you?" Esther asked in

Andrew raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Mr. Stevens, it seems you've come prepared and aren't exactly welcoming me." Zephyr, already alarmed by Oscar's rashness, turned pale and quickly apologized with a forced smile. "Mr. Lloyd, it's a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding! Oscar is young and impulsive; he doesn't know better. Please don't take offense!" Turning to Oscar, he scolded, "Oscar, sit down now, and don't be disrespectful to Mr. Lloyd!" Oscar snorted coldly, already satisfied that he had made his point. He straightened his expensive suit and sat down leisurely, not forgetting to add a warning, "Fine, since Mr. Stevens has spoken, I won't take this further with you, Andrew. But remember this—I'm here today, and if you dare to act out of line, you'll be facing the music!" Andrew could not help but laugh at the idea that a small-time guy from Bridgefields was threatening him. However, a hint of menace appeared in his expression. Seeing this, Aspen quickly ran over a

"She's living the life of a rich heiress, like a wealthy socialite!" Judith exclaimed. Through the window, Zephyr and Esther quickly glanced down. They indeed saw their daughter getting out of the Ferrari with shopping bags. She looked radiant, free of any sign of suffering or mistreatment. Zephyr and Esther exchanged surprised glances, both somewhat stunned. This was far different from what they had imagined. Oscar pulled back his gaze, burning with jealousy, and sneered, "Sure, she looks glamorous on the surface, but it's just a show put on for your benefit! I've seen this kind of thing many times—people living miserable lives behind closed doors, but when they meet family, they suddenly act wealthy and fashionable. That Ferrari might even be rented, just to deceive you both!" When Esther heard this, her momentarily relieved heart tensed up again. She asked worriedly, "Zephyr, could it really be as Oscar says?" Zephyr's expression was hesitant, clearly unsure if Oscar's a

The Bridgefields' Stevens family members were staying at the Veridian Hotel. "Zephyr, didn't you say Aspen was coming over? Why isn't she here yet?" asked the elegantly dressed woman with concern. She was Aspen's mother, Esther Bowles. Zephyr appeared tense, but he still replied, "Let's wait a bit longer. Perhaps Aspen is busy right now. Don't worry, Andrew probably isn't being too harsh with her." Esther sighed, feeling heartbroken. Her precious had fallen into someone else's hands and was at their mercy—how could that end well? Moreover, she knew Aspen's personality and beauty all too well. She feared Aspen was already battered and bruised. Esther did not want to think further, but she could already imagine that she had lost her once pure and obedient daughter. The well-dressed man beside her let out a cold snort, his polished exterior belying the menace in his voice. "If Aspen has suffered any harm, even a scratch, I'll make sure Andrew pays with his life." Zephyr wa

Aspen climbed into the car as Andrew was about to leave. Irene shouted, "Andrew, I'm giving you one last chance! If you change your ways and come back to Christie to rekindle your relationship, our family will treat you well. I'll definitely regard you as my son-in-law!" Andrew chuckled dismissively and said, "Please get out of my way. You don't really want me as a son-in-law, do you? What you're actually after is my connections and my money. Unfortunately for you, while you're interested in my money, I'm not interested in you." Irene opened her mouth but could not respond, feeling furious and nearly losing control. Andrew had easily exposed her true intentions, making her feel humiliated. Turning to Christina, Aspen covered her mouth and giggled, "Christie, here's a little secret—Andrew and I have already kissed. How should I put this? We're very compatible! He's given me everything I could want—and a few things I didn't know I needed." After saying this, she ignored Christi

Leroy muttered, "He used to drive a Mercedes G-Wagon, but now he's driving a LaFerrari in Blumedale! Andrew's doing incredibly well—he's like a top-tier family's scion! If he were my brother-in-law, would I possibly get to touch the steering wheel of that LaFerrari? God, it hurts… I want to cry…" Looking at the luxury sports car he would not dare dream of owning, Leroy was overwhelmed by envy. Irene was no better. Although she did not care much about sports cars, she was practically salivating at the sight of luxury clothes, handbags, and jewelry. She exclaimed, "Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci… Goodness, all top luxury brands, and so many of them! Aspen, Andrew, where did you get so much money? Tell me right now!" Shamelessly, her overweight body moved with surprising speed as she rushed in front of Aspen, nearly grabbing the bags from her. Aspen sneered. "Could you please get lost? Where our money comes from is none of your business!" Seeing the greedy expressions on Christi
