Lola never expected that she would suddenly become a billionaire in the blink of an eye. From then on, no one in Novare would be able to pit themselves against her. But why didn’t her dearest husband believe it? Lola was truly rich now!

I don’t want him affecting my friend’s business here."Morris quickly instructed two of his men to move Darcy away. Then, he bowed at Lola. "Since you don’t have other instructions for me, I shall leave with my men now."When Morris and his gang were gone, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, they wondered how a full-time housewife like Lola had the influence to bring a gang of thugs to their knees.After the banquet started, many of them came up to her in an attempt to get on her good side. Anna squeezed through the crowd and raised a glass for Lola. "As a thank you for throwing out those thugs for us, all your future expenses at our restaurant will be on the house!"Lola smiled and replied, "There’s no need for that. I didn’t do anything much just now anyway. You’re being too nice."Lola was not trying to be pol
Darcy was left clutching his phone awkwardly, and there was a ball of fire burning in his chest.Under the intense scrutiny of the many pairs of eyes, he did not have a choice but to excuse himself. He bit the bullet and dialed another number.Although his next contact was not as powerful as Wyatt, he was considered influential in Novare and an acquaintance of Darcy’s dad.When the call went through, Darcy quickly explained the situation he was in.Hearing that, the person on the other end deliberated with a little concern. "You might have run into Morris; he’s Beck’s guy. My advice is not to get yourself into further trouble.""Can’t you lend a hand here?""You should know who Beck is. I wouldn’t want to go head-to-head with him."It was at that moment that Darcy finally panicked. He pleaded, "How about helping me to put in a word? Have him go easy on my former classmate and me.""I’m sorry. That’s beyond my ability."Visibly frantic, Darcy yelled, "Don’t you remember all the help tha
Darcy stared at the various gifts, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.He knew that if he did not apologize today, Lola would never let him off so easily.To save his own skin, he could only let go of his pathetic pride and say to Lola with his head down, "I’m sorry about today. I was too impulsive. I sincerely apologize to all present."He looked up toward Lola. "About the bet… Could you let it go since we’re classmates?"The fact that Darcy was willing to yield surprised everyone greatly.But on second thought, Darcy had indeed gone overboard with all the things he did today. Moreover, he could not possibly eat all the gifts. What else could he do if not apologize?Watching how defeated Darcy was compared to his previously condescending behavior, the crowd could not help but laugh.Some of them stepped forward to smooth things over. "Lola, since he’s already apologized, just let it be. Let’s not pursue the matter further."Lola actually had no intentions of forcing Darcy to hono
The oil painting that Lola gave Edward had been obtained with Micheal’s help.Although the painter could not be compared to the likes of Vincent van Gogh or Leonardo da Vinci, he still had quite a reputation in the art world.Besides, Micheal was a serious and careful man. He would never introduce fake or imitation paintings to deceive Lola.Unable to stop Lola, Jerry could only sigh helplessly to himself.Barrett was also a little surprised because Lola was too calm about this whole situation. He carefully recalled everything he went through with Lola after getting to know her and suddenly felt that she was very mysterious.That day at Sol Hotel, the famous Buck actually treated Lola with respect. Barrett never figured out the reason why, but he was sure that Lola was hiding a huge secret!Darcy could hardly wait for the next scenes to unfold for fear that Lola would back out of the bet. Rubbing his hands, he said, "All of you are witnesses to our bet. Let’s quickly call Anna’s father
What Lola said was trivial, but it sounded sweet and homely, especially with how Jerry gazed at Lola. It was a gaze full of appreciation and love, which caused many to admire them involuntarily.Marital harmony was also a kind of blessing.Darcy’s provocation fell short of its desired effect. It made him feel like he had nowhere else to vent his anger.Clenching his fists, Darcy sneered. "I didn’t think you’d be so happy to fill the role of a parasite at home. Aren’t you worried that Jerry will abandon you one day?""Nope."Lola leaned against Jerry’s shoulder sweetly. "Our relationship has always been good and stable. He also respects me. It’s not like I ever did anything that would let him down. Why would he abandon me?"Lola’s steadfast tone made everyone feel even more envious than before.After all, Jerry was rich and handsome. Even if he decided to abandon his partner someday, being with a man like him was not bad.Lola was really lucky to be married to Jerry!Darcy was struck sp
Lola blushed a little from the teasing.Jerry naturally wrapped his arm around Lola’s shoulder and smiled at Edward. "It’s your restaurant’s opening day today, so stop poking into our private lives, will you? We’ll let you know at once when we have good news."Edward nodded. "By then, I’ll make sure to prepare a generous gift for your kid!"They were having a nice chat when the strong smell of perfume pervaded Lola’s senses.She turned to where the scent was coming from and saw a well-dressed, average-looking woman walking over to them in heels.The woman hooked her arm into Edward’s and asked, "And they are?""Let me introduce you. This is my college classmate, Lola. The one next to her is her husband, Jerry."Edward then pointed at the woman and said, "This is my fiancée, Anna.""Oh, so she’s the one who’s disliked by the Chelsea family?"Anna did nothing to hide her scorn for Lola.Lola did not want to make a fuss about this matter with her, so she acted as if she did not hear Anna’
When Darcy heard the number, he could hardly hold back his smile.His car was the latest BMW model. It would be too easy to win against a female driver.Lola had better be ready to write him a check!Worried that Lola may back out at the last minute, he immediately shouted to the people nearest to him, "You guys hear that? She agrees to pay two million dollars if she loses the race. If she dares to renege, then I’ll take the car as payment!"The men nearby who were enjoying the show immediately laughed and booed. The others who were already in the restaurant came out to see what was going on when they heard the commotion.For a moment, the restaurant doors were packed with people who were staring at Lola as if she was stupid.How could a regular Porsche compare to the latest BMW?Besides, Lola was clearly new at driving. How lucky Darcy was to easily get two million dollars!Jerry gazed worriedly at Lola. "It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. Your safety is more important."Lola smile
Lola knew these people. They were all her classmates from college.However, they weren’t friendly to her because they thought she wasn’t worthy enough to be in their classes due to her status as an orphan. They even thought that her relationship with Jerry was of a contractual nature.They also went as far as to encourage their female friends to pursue Jerry in an attempt to separate him from Lola.Lola still remembered the name of the one who was leaning against the BMW. His name was Darcy. He was a very popular rich kid in class back then. It was said that his family was extremely wealthy, so much so that he was the richest kid in class.He had yet to learn about Lola's identity when she had just started college. He wanted to have a one-night stand with her and flirtatiously approached her, demanding that she be his girlfriend.But Lola rejected him, and this caused him to hold a grudge against her because he thought that Lola made him look bad.Darcy was currently leaning against th
