로그인There weren't many others waiting in the luxuriously decorated lounge, as the first-class lounge was separate from the guest lounge. The latter was meant for everyone else, whether flying economy or holding the airline's VIP card. In contrast, the first-class lounge was only open to the guests who spent hundreds of thousands for a transoceanic flight.After Charlie, Claire, Elaine, and Jacob showed their tickets, a young waiter led them to the couch inside.By sheer coincidence, both Mr. Larcelle and Mrs. Larcelle were there too, having breakfast.Grudges were never easily forgotten, and Elaine started toward them as soon as she saw them, rolling up their sleeves.Mr. Larcelle was himself surprised to see Charlie and the others, as flying first-class from Aurous Hill to the Maldives costs up to 70,000.In his mind, he was even cursing—it really hurt his wallet to spend 140,000 Oskian dollars on two first-class tickets. And yet, all four of those losers could afford first class?
Jacob was himself sulking after being humiliated.But there was no helping it when Mr. Larcelle had already left, giving him no chance to salvage his dignity.He hence had no choice but to take the loss and head into the airport with Charlie and Claire.Elaine was sulking too, muttering, "Shit, I never had to suffer such an insult before! Not even back in the day, when we all just opened our windows and yelled at our neighbors… But that prick had to rub it in! It's killing me!"Claire knew her mother's temper and hence quickly reasoned, "That's enough, Mom. It's no big deal in the first place—don't obsess over it. Remember, we're all supposed to be having fun."Elaine groaned, "I overheard them saying they're going to the Maldives too… Are they going on the same flight?"Charlie shrugged. "It's not like there's direct flights from Aurous Hill to the Maldives every day. This is also the season for tropical vacations, and that means there'd be a flight on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sat
Beside them, Elaine was not about to take that crap.Glaring at the middle-aged man, she stood akimbo as she bellowed, "What are you getting so smug about? You're just driving a Bentley! My husband used to be the vice-president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so you can ask the members if he drives a 2B Cullinan!""Not 2B—it's BB! It's a BB Culinnan!" Jacob promptly cried.Elaine waved him off impatiently. "It's all the same. What's the point?"However, Mr. Larcelle clearly wasn't worried about Elaine, and wheeled on Clarie with a grin, "I'm sure they're your parents? Why don't you tell them to stop being so vain when they're already this old?"Then, turning to the charming woman beside him, he beckoned, "Come on, darling. Let's head over to the first-class lounge already."Mrs. Larcelle was just feeling proud that her husband managed to rub it in their faces, and purred, "Okay, darling. I always told you to have some standards—you'd never win struggling with the poo
Jacob was never one to pass up any chance to show off—and would do it even if the timing was poor.In his mind, Mr. Larcelle just lost.After all, the man tried to frame his Rolls key for being a fake, so now he showed it off, proving that it was the real deal.Still, as Mr. Larcelle took the key, he fiddled with it a couple times, pressing some buttons and suddenly snickered.Throwing it back at Jacob, he snorted in disdain, "They really can make it look real these days. Where did you get that from? Amazon?"Jacob didn't expect Mr. Larcelle to throw it, and clawed the air to catch it frantically as if he would miss.When he did catch it, he promptly snapped at Mr. Larcelle, "Where are your manners, man? I'm showing you a Rolls key since you don't have one, but you're throwing it like a baseball?! Are you going to pay for it if you damage it?!"Mr. Larcelle snorted in disdain. "What, you think I can't afford to pay for bootleg crap?"That was when Elaine bellowed furiously, "Op
After Mr. Larcelle alighted, the chauffeur took out their Louis Vuitton suitcases and handed them over respectfully. "Enjoy your honeymoon, Mr. and Mrs. Larcelle!"Mr. Larcelle had his hands in pockets, looking around and noticing a lot of people staring as he got out of his Bentley—including Jacob and Elaine, who stood nearby.Hence, he barked haughtily, "Bosley, send my Bentley to service later. Remind them that I want the best engine oil."Bosley nodded respectfully. "Don't worry, sir! I'll get it done."Mr. Larcelle then added, "Oh, and get the Alpha when you pick us up when we come home. The missus would have bought a ton of stuff from Dubai.""Yes, Mr. Larcelle. No problem!" The chauffeur nodded repeatedly.Mr. Larcelle nodded, satisfied.He made sure to be loud enough to draw everyone's attention, and couldn't resist gloating to Mrs. Larcelle, "I remember the days when I always traveled on private jets, but they are doing a maintenance check Stateside, so it's just first-
Early in the morning before the Oskian New Year, Charlie, Claire, Elaine, and Jacob had all packed their bags, heading to the airport for their rare vacation. Jacob's suggestion was to drive the Cullinan to the airport and park it there. They'd just be gone for five days anyway, and they could just drive home with it when they return.In the man's own words, it afforded them the perk of not having to get a rental—with so much luggage, it would be troublesome.However, Charlie knew full well that his father-in-law had been driving everywhere in that Cullinan—even to pick up cigarettes at the convenience store.One way or another, he refused to let slip any opportunity to show everyone else that he owns a Rolls.Charlie didn't think much of it because that was how his father-in-law always was, and he didn't mind playing along.On the other hand, Claire really didn't like the idea of her father bringing out the Cullinan to show off even now, because the Rolls belonged to Kathleen F
As time passed by, Kathleen’s nervousness grew. She was flustered when there was still no news from Julian even after a long time had passed. No matter what she did, she couldn’t reach his number. She was so worried that she ended up sending her grandfather, Jordan Fox, a message stating the sudden
When Claire heard this, she could not help but purse her lips and snicker as well.She also knew that there were many very feminine men in the fashion world, and this had become more and more common over the recent years. Therefore, she did not see anything abnormal about it. However, it was quite ra
When Helena heard her grandmother’s question, she was instantly stunned.Before the shyness that she felt in her heart could make her blush, she was immediately crushed by her sadness.Helena originally wanted to instinctively deny it, but for some reason, she suddenly felt a deeply unpleasant feeling
Despite Charlie’s nonchalant words, Kathleen’s tears wouldn’t stop no matter how much she tried. She kept nodding as she sobbed, “Thank you, Mr. Wade… Thank you truly!”Charlie gave her a small smile before turning to Jordan again. “Lord Fox, please cooperate with us to make this work.”A few minutes
