Francis gave her a card. "There's two hundred million dollars in here, it's kind of an allowance I'm giving you as a brother," he remarked with a smile.

Fay gave him a joyful hug. She drove over in the cheapest Benz from the garage after obtaining the villa key in order to maintain a low profile.

"Miss, I have never seen you around here," the security guard said as she reached the gate. “Before entering, please go outside and confirm your identity."

“Alright." Fay got out of the car, grabbed her access card from her bag, and was about to tap it on the scanner when she heard a voice that was both familiar and sarcastic.

"Well, isn't this Fay, the gold digger? What are you doing here? Come on, this is Blu City's famously wealthy neighborhood, Golden. Do you truly believe that someone as impoverished as you should be admitted?”

It was a mocking voice. When Fay looked around, she saw Lara Ward, her former mother-in-law, with a contemptuous and piercing expression.

Lara had never been friendly to her since she married Teddy. Fay had previously put up with Lara’s abuse and hurtful remarks in order to be with Teddy. But now there was nothing left for her to put up with.

"Well, now that I'm here, I obviously have the right to enter," Fay shot back. “But does it really matter to you if I enter or not? You appear to have a lot of spare time these days and are constantly interfering in other people's affairs." Her caustic comment clearly annoyed Lara.

"You... I've always known that your obedient and kind manner was a façade. Thank god you’ve were divorced my son, Teddy. If not, we have no idea how long your fake façade will fool us.”

"Oh, so you were aware that Teddy and I had already split up? So why do you continue to interfere in my affairs? You seem to have far too much free time.” Fay smirked as she met Lara’s hostile gaze with her arms crossed.

"You have truly been underestimated by me. I didn't realize you had such a harsh tongue,”

"I know her very well," Lara said, turning to the security man after realizing she couldn't outtalk Fay. “She must be up to no good for coming into this posh neighborhood! My belongings would always disappear while she was in my house. Do you think you can make up for the resident's losses if you don't stop her from entering now and they lose something and blame you for it?

There is no denying that the people who live in Golden are powerful or affluent, and many of their belongings are priceless. It would be disastrous if something actually disappeared.”

The security guard pondered and gave Fay a suspicious glance. He said it strongly. "Miss, you are only permitted to enter if you are a real resident. Outsiders are not allowed. Please leave right away, or I'll have to apply some severe punishment."

"Who says I don't live here? Who declares me to be an outsider?” Fay tapped her access card at the entrance's access system after passing the security guard.

With contempt in her eyes, Lara raised her chin, eager to watch Fay make a fool of herself. To everyone's astonishment, however, the gate system access system opened and beeped!

"Why... Why do you have the access card for this place?" Lara asked, her eyes widening in shock as she turned to face Fay.

"Can I go in now?" Fay asked the security guard, ignoring her.

"Of course, you can," the security guard said with a terrified grimace as he suddenly snapped out of it.

“I didn't expect this young lady to be a legitimate homeowner here," he thought anxiously. “I hope she wasn't offended by what I did just now. What if this causes me to lose my job?”

Fay, however, ignored the security guard. Rather, she climbed into her vehicle and drove directly into it.

Lara, meanwhile, gazed in shock at Fay’s leaving taillights. "That pauper actually has an access card for this place," she thought bitterly. Could she be employed as a maid or something? This made Lara want to follow Fay and find out for herself!

After pulling out her access card and tapping it, Lara quickly followed Fay as the gate opened. However, after pursuing her for some time, she was unable to locate her, much less catch up to her.

"It's okay. In any case, I frequently visit this place. One day, I'll catch that little brat!" With a sinister murmur, Lara turned to go toward Villa No. 15. But just as she was ready to walk away, she heard a door open.

When she turned to face the sound, he noticed that Villa No. 9 was the source. The largest villa in Golden was Villa No. 9. Money was not enough to purchase this unique home. They ended up with Villa No. 15 when Teddy failed to purchase villa 9 at an auction.

"Whoever resides in Villa premium is undoubtedly not your typical individual. In order to build cordial ties with my neighbors, I should go over and introduce myself. Who knows, maybe it will help Teddy’s business later on.” Grinning, Lara trotted over, ready to introduce herself. But as soon as she saw who was leaving Villa No. 9, her smile vanished.

Her  expression changed from one of warmth to one of intense disdain. "Why is it you?"

Fay just glanced at her.  Without saying anything, she just tossed the trash and went back inside.

This condescending demeanor did not sit well with Lara. Refusing to give up, she accelerated her speed. "What? Are you at a loss for words? You heard me, didn't you? Do you respect your elders this way?”

There was a spark of cunning in Fay’s eyes as she grinned. The door slammed loudly in Lara’s face as she approached.

"Ahh!" Lara barely escaped being struck by the door. If she hadn't retreated in time, she would have suffered severe injuries. She was furious and thought, "Fay, you bitch and gold digger, how dare you treat me like this?"

She became enraged. She shouted through the closed door while standing with her hands on her hips, "Fay, you bitch! Having a daughter-in-law like you must have been a curse for my family! Your actual nature is now coming to light now that you and my son are no longer together, isn't it? I should really bring my son to witness your evil deeds! I won't allow you get away with it if you don't come out and apologize to me in person! Get out of hiding there. Now come out here!"

Until Fay emerged, Lara persisted in berating her while hammering on the door. Fay could still hear Lara’s constant pounding despite the villa's superior soundproofing.

Fay was unable to enjoy her TV show because of the loud noise. Then she slowly rose from the couch, plugged in Francis tens of thousands of dollar headphones, and cranked up the volume on her television program.

"Ah, finally, I can't hear any of that noise anymore," she thought joyfully.

Excellent!

Lara kicked the door in exasperation as she continued to swear at it and became more and more irritated with Fay’s refusal to come out.

"Shameless little bitch, just you wait and see!"

    The manager straightened his posture and gave Nina a harsh look. “The Roy Group owns our hotel, and I think everyone in this room is aware of Roy Group's standing in Blu City. To us, these two bottles of wine are insignificant.Do you believe that the Roy Group was unable to pay for them? Why should we get fake when we are capable of buying it?”Nina was immediately afraid when she heard the manager bring up the Roy Group. Recently, she and Tom were negotiating a big deal with the Roy Group. Because it may give them a bad reputation, they thus couldn't afford to make a scene in one of their hotels. She had to swallow her pride after giving it some thought."Yes, the Roy Group is capable. I forget to say that, did I?” Fay responded. “I still don’t believe that Faye can afford such a pricey wine despite her unattractive appearance. This has to be fake. I mean just look her, does she look like someone who can buy even one bottle not to talk of there?” Tom asked.Without going into additi

    "All right, I'll do it. Are you certain I wouldn't dare?" With a look at her, Nina snatched her phone out of her pocket and dialed 911. "We're all classmates, Nina. Faye doesn't need to have it difficult,” The once class monitor moved up to arbitrate, softly saying, "Just put your phone away." Nina gazed at the class monitor with a deep, disappointed expression. “She is dressed like a beggar, as you can see. She cannot possibly come up with this $80,000 all at once. Why do you continue to support her?”The class monitor, who was somewhat embarrassed by Nina’s serious demeanor, muttered in a voice that only the two of them could hear. "That's sufficient. You don't have any proof. What would you say if you called the cops directly and they showed up and asked for prove?”After a brief period of hesitation, Nina concluded that the class monitor's remarks did make some sense. "You're correct. Then I won't make a police call." She wouldn't let Fay go that lightly, though. With these id

    Fay took a step back, pulled her hand away, and examined the bottle of Louis XIII that had been given to her. "You bought it, so you open it, not me." Nina walked over to her and kept trying to give her the Louis XIII bottle. "Faye, hurry up! Everyone is anticipating your opening of this bottle of wine. You truly want to make us look foolish, don't you?”Tom and Mina joined in as well. "Just open it, Faye. Hurry up!""Everyone is still waiting, so hurry up and open it." Some of their classmates who were anxious to watch some drama started to speak up as they pushed her. "Faye, just open it. Everybody wants to taste this new Louis XII's flavor.”Vaguely aware of Nina’s intentions, Fay scowled. But before she could think any longer, Nina took advantage of the brief attention to shove the Louis XIII bottle into her palm. The wine bottle almost slipped through her fingers before she could respond. She reached for the bottle out of instinct, but it was too late. There was a loud "bang" s

    Mina approached Fay and Nina, and she looked scornfully at Fay with mocking eyes. "You already receive a compliment and some respect when you are referred to be the campus belle. You have no right to agitate Nina.“"Nina enjoys the finest luxuries with me, driving Ferraris and Lamborghinis casually," Tom said with a sneer as he instinctively threw his arms around her shoulders. “Regarding you..." He purposely stopped and gave Fay a disdainful, up-and-down stare. "Do you regret not agreeing to be together with me back then?" Fay couldn't contain her laughs. "Narcissism is a sickness that requires medical attention! Your appearance suggests that you are severely affected by it. I suggest that you get checked out as soon as possible at the hospital. Delaying it for too long could make your problem worse.”“You.." Tom’s expression clouded abruptly. He wanted to respond, but Nina cut him off. Speaking in a voice only they could hear, she leaned in closer to him. "Slow down. Do you no long

    "Did Fay take the cab? Really?" Nina stood on her tiptoes, looking about with a mischievous thrill in her eyes. "Where is she? Where is she?" Fay had always been better than her in school. In addition to leading a horrible existence, Fay was now so impoverished that she had to come through a public cab. This was simply too good! She shouldn't be the only one enjoying such a fantastic display! All of her classmates and Tom had to be called in to see it. "There, didn't you see?" Once more, Mina gestured toward Fay. Repressing her eagerness, Nina followed Mina’s eyes. As expected, she noticed Fay approaching them while wearing a simple white shirt and pants. She wore no makeup on her face and was wearing regular clothes. There was only one term that could adequately characterize her current condition, despite the fact that she looked even more stunning than she had at university: destitute! Nina turned to Mina at her side and smiled, saying, "Go and tell Tom to bring everyone ove

    Teddy was analyzing documents in the Ward study. His tall form was highlighted by a shadow cast from the side by the faint light. Suddenly there was a knocking sound. Teddy paused his page flipping and said toward the door, "Come in.”Holding a document that needed to be signed, Hector opened the door and entered. "The finance department sent you this document, Mr. Ward. It requires your consent, they stated.”“Okay."Quickly scanning the document, Teddy signed his name at the bottom. "Done." Hector handed it to him and added, "Mr. Ward, Mr. Fuller from Fez Construction Company invites you to have dinner at Diamond Restaurant tomorrow evening at eight o'clock to discuss matters regarding the suburban project."Teddy nodded, "Okay." Hector gave a small nod. "Alright, I'll reply to Mr. Fuller immediately."Teddy said, "Hmm," and lowered his head to resume concentrating on the papers. ***At the Golden building the following day. Fay gave Roxy a glass of juice. "Here, drink up." Ro
