At the private room, they drank multiple rounds after the meal. Godfrey and Lydia were slightly tipsy, and Flora took the opportunity to remind her husband of his job. “Lydia, I need your help with something,” Ferdinand said.Lydia waved her hand. “Whatever it is, just tell. I’ll definitely help you if I can,” she said carelessly.“My wallet’s been a bit tight lately. Since Yvonne is so successful now, I want to borrow some money,” he replied.Flora quickly chimed in, “We wouldn’t ask you if we had any other way. You have money now, Lydia. Surely you’ll help us?”Lydia immediately became more conscious when she heard the words ‘borrow some money’. She was well-aware of her brother’s characteristics. It was a 99 percent probability that she would not get her money back once she ‘lent’ it to him.“How much do you want to borrow?” she asked.Her brother raised two fingers.“Two thousand?” she said.“What are you thinking, Lydia? Would I ask you if it was just two thousand?” Ferdinand said

“Don’t even dream about it.” Yvonne’s expression contorted in anger. This had absolutely nothing to do with her, yet the fatty dragged her into it.The fatty flashed a devious grin and raked his eyes over her. “Not a bad figure. Not bad at all. Who knows how it’ll look like once it’s naked.” He clicked his tongue. “Little lady, you don’t have the final say here. I advise you to obey quietly. Not a woman I have my eyes on has managed to escape from me.”“Don’t speak such nonsense. She’s a granddaughter of the Sue family. We’ll never forgive you for this.” Lydia could not let her daughter be sullied by this fatty at all costs. If the old matriarch of the Sues found out about this, Yvonne’s future would be finished.“The Sues?” The fatty frowned. They kept talking about the Sues, yet he had zero recollection of the existence of this family. He asked, “Who the h*ll are the Sues? How great can they be?”“How are you even living in Cloud City if you don’t know of the Sues? She’s Yvonne Sue,”

The fatty was being beaten into a bloody pulp, and he still had no idea what was going on. All he knew was that he could not dream about offending the young man before him. Johann treated the young man with absolute reverence. This indicated that he was of an even higher status than Johann.However, from the fatty’s eyes, he could never imagine the kind of person Samuel truly was.Of course, he would also never imagine that the man before him was Cloud City’s legendary good-for-nothing trash who married into the Sues.In the other room, Lydia was practically dancing on her feet, seeing that Samuel had not made an appearance even after so much time had passed. “Yvonne, I told you that you can’t trust Samuel! He should have arrived by now even if he ordered a cab. He’s probably hiding away at home and refusing to come out. How could you trust him?” Lydia said.“You’re dragging all of us through the mud just because you trust in that good-for-nothing,” Steven said shamelessly. It was a

Samuel had just finished his final gulp of soup when Yvonne returned to the room. She blocked him when he got up and wanted to throw the cup away.“I’ll help you throw it.”Before Samuel could react, Yvonne had already snatched the empty container from his hands.He noticed her shame-filled expression. He smiled and asked, “Is there anything you want to tell me?”Yvonne dipped her head. She could not get the two hundred thousand her mother needed from the company. The Sues were her family, but even her grandmother suspected that she had filled her pockets with the company’s profits to buy the Audis, although she would never do such a thing.That was why Yvonne decided that she could only borrow the money from her husband after she made the promise to Lydia.“You sleep on the bed tonight. I want to sleep on the floor,” she said.Samuel looked at her, a wry smile twisting his lips. “Just say whatever you want to say,” he said.This was the first time throughout the three years of their m

Seeing that Samuel was not back yet, Yvonne decided to call him. Flora and her family were already at their place, and Lydia was urging Yvonne to quickly think of a way to get the money to them.“I have the money. I’m on my way back,” Samuel said.Yvonne still felt sorry about the entire situation, especially since they had not brought Samuel out when they had gone to the hotel for dinner last night, and he had stayed home alone eating cup noodles. Furthermore, she troubled him to go to the hotel to help her out.“Don’t make dinner tonight,” she said.Samuel smiled and said, “What will Father and Mother eat if I don’t make dinner?”“It’s not like they’re handicapped. Let them make their own dinner,” Yvonne said, stewing.“All right then.”When he got back, Flora snatched the packet from his hands without even asking, sure that it contained money. She peeked into it. It was bursting with crisp, gorgeous notes. Only then did she break out into a smile.“Where did you go? Why did you take
