All Chapters of I Went on a Blind Date for My Best Friend and Became the Mafia Heir’s Favorite: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The moment the words left my mouth, the private room fell deathly silent.Lucas Chandler, the assistant standing behind the wheelchair, nearly bugged his eyes out.He stared at me as if I were crazy.Who in Riverdale didn’t know Gus Cooper?He had power in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. He was ruthless and killed without batting an eye.If it weren’t for that $200 million, I wouldn’t have dared approach him even if someone had given me the courage.The comments went wild before my eyes.[What the hell?! Has this supporting female side character lost her mind? How dare she talk to the heir to a mafia family like that?!][This is bad! Gus hates gold diggers. He’ll definitely have Lucas dump her in the river to feed the fish!][Where’s the person who said he’d pay her $200 million to leave? Come out and take your beating! This is clearly a death sentence!]My heart tightened as I read.Had the comments lied to me?Did Gus have no intention of throwing money at me? Did he want to

“What do you mean?” I stared at the card, completely baffled.“You don’t have to work for it.”Gus closed his eyes again, his voice returning to its usual cool indifference.“Spend whatever you want.”I sucked in a sharp breath.An unlimited black card!The legendary kind of card that could buy an entire island!I was so excited I nearly jumped. I hugged the card and planted a big kiss on it.“Thank you, my hubby! You’re so handsome!”The corner of Gus’ mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, but he ignored me.The comments drifted past.[Oh my God! The big shot fell for her that fast?][$200 million wasn’t enough—he had to throw in an unlimited black card too?][In the original story, the female lead didn’t get this black card until the very end. How did the supporting female side character get it on day two?][There’s something inexplicably lucky about this supporting female side character.]I hugged the black card, practically bubbling with joy.Early the next morning, I headed straigh

Sutton pointed at me, her voice so shrill it nearly pierced my eardrums.“You stole my boyfriend, and now you have the nerve to ride in his car?!“You shameless gold-digging bitch! What gives you the right to stand here dressed up like that?!”The crowd of onlookers erupted.Every eye turned toward me, filled with shock, contempt, and curiosity.“She stole her boyfriend? Is that true?”“She’s pretty. Who’d have thought she’d do something so low?”“You can never tell what someone’s really like. Gold diggers these days will do anything for money.”I looked coldly at Sutton as she made a scene.The lace around the neckline of her so-called designer dress was already pilling.The stitching around her waist was crooked, too. It was obviously a cheap knockoff.She had the nerve to wear that ragged thing and pick a fight beside Gus’ supercar?Before I could say a word, the translucent comments before my eyes went completely wild.A flood of vicious insults swallowed me whole:[What the hell!

Sutton sat sprawled on the ground, still making one last desperate attempt to fight back.Her hair was a mess as she pointed at me and shrieked hoarsely.“Stella Hayes is a shameless slut! She was kept by some man back in college! She’s not good enough for Mr. Cooper!”The bystanders exchanged uncertain glances. Gus had just shown them proof, but Sutton sounded so certain, and so crazed, that people still began to doubt what they’d seen.I let out a cold laugh.She really wouldn’t quit until she hit a wall.I calmly adjusted the suit jacket around my shoulders and took a step forward.By now, the comments before my eyes had become my personal intelligence network.People felt guilty about misjudging me earlier, so they started digging up every bit of dirt on Sutton.[Stella, don’t worry! We’ve dug up everything on this gold-digger!][Check the link I posted! Sutton stole your assignment in college and entered it in a competition!][And that merit scholarship in your sophomore year! She

And every day, my favorite pastime was watching Gus put on his cool, aloof act while the comments let me peek into his wildly beating, lovesick heart.Tuesday morning.I was killing time at the office, twirling a pen.On a whim, I sent Gus a sticker on WhatsApp: a white Ragdoll peeking around a corner to watch someone.Then I tossed my phone aside.A full ten minutes passed before Gus finally replied with one incredibly aloof, almost dismissive word:[Mm.]I stared at the message and pursed my lips. This man really had no romantic bone in his body.The next second, translucent comments flooded across my vision:[Holy crap! Gus is losing it in the executive conference room!][He was just chewing out the CFO when he saw that cat sticker and completely froze!][The whole room thought he was about to flip the table, but he stared at the sticker for a full ten minutes! He was practically grinning from ear to ear!][He imagined Stella was being cute with him! He thinks she’s like that Ragdol
