Even knowing Adrian Law’s extraordinary background, Chloe Alden couldn’t shake off her annoyance!
With her princess-like temperant, if she’s not happy, she naturally doesn’t want others to be happy either.
"Playing the gigolo, living off a woman, sir, don’t you find it disgraceful?"
Seeing that Adrian Law completely ignored her sarcasm, Chloe Alden spoke more anxiously, trying to attract even a bit of his attention.
Yet Adrian Law didn’t glance at Chloe Alden even once; instead, he took Cecilia Vaughn’s hand and slowly traced the lines in her palm.
Chloe Alden was utterly floored!
She wasn’t really stupid; she provoked Adrian Law this way because she was sure that no man of privilege could endure such belittlent, convinced he would stand up and reveal his true identity.
She was too eager to find out who exactly Adrian Law was!
...
Cecilia Vaughn, grinning, let Adrian Law trace her palm lines. She wrapped her arm around his waist and declared with regal authority.
"Eldest Miss Alden, what’s the matter, am I not allowed to pay for my man?"
"I just like spoiling him, do you have a problem with that?"
The words caused a stir all around.
Chloe Alden was choked silent, and even Fiona Vaughn was taken aback, while the nearby cashier had her mouth shaped like an O.
From Cecilia Vaughn’s words, could Adrian Law really be a gigolo?
...
Facing curious glances from others, Adrian Law didn’t bother to defend himself.
He was wholly focused on tracing Cecilia Vaughn’s palm lines, as if they held so rare treasure.
The man stood tall and handso, like a living mannequin.
Many boutique clerks were stealing glances at him; initially, they envied Cecilia Vaughn for snagging such a handso guy. Now they realized that girls striking it rich were no worse off than wealthy n!
Finding a man as good-looking as Adrian Law, even if you spend money on him, shower him with gifts, so what!
It’s an era that celebrates male beauty!
They also wanted to get close to their idol!
Besides, Adrian Law was better looking than male celebrities on TV; Cecilia Vaughn surely got her money’s worth!
...
The clerks began to side with Cecilia Vaughn, even though they completely misunderstood Adrian Law’s identity.
"Yes, miss, you’re absolutely right. Your boyfriend is so handso; I think the money you spent is worth it. Shall I charge your card now?"
"Sure."
Cecilia Vaughn nodded with a smile, as if praising her for her keen eye.
This sent Chloe Alden into a half-dead rage.
"You actually condone a man living off a woman without any sense of sha!"
Cecilia Vaughn gave her a half-smile glance and didn’t refute, but the less Cecilia spoke, the more Chloe Alden seethed with anger!
It was like punching cotton, having all this strength with no place to use it!
...
Why didn’t this man defend himself at all, letting others misunderstand him?
Clearly, last ti in the old town, Director Warner practically groveled to Adrian Law; his identity couldn’t be ordinary!
Chloe Alden stared at Adrian Law in a daze, seeing his expression remain calm and those phoenix eyes only focused on Cecilia Vaughn, her hatred deepened...
Why!
Even a woman like Cecilia Vaughn, touched by countless n, was worth his attention!
Seeing Cecilia Vaughn had paid and was about to leave with Adrian Law and the engraved gingko leaf watch, Chloe Alden’s intense jealousy raged and eventually consud her!
...
Chloe Alden, eyes red with fury, recklessly stepped forward, snatching the just-wrapped watch box from the clerk and smashed it on the ground!
In an instant, the Patek Philippe n’s watch fell onto the marble tiles, shattering to pieces.
"What junk! No sensible person would want it!"
As if not satisfied with the damage, Chloe Alden lifted her foot and stomped on it, crushing it ruthlessly.
As she stomped, she glared at Cecilia Vaughn with veiled insults, as if the shattered watch wasn’t just a watch but Cecilia Vaughn herself.
...
The female clerk at the Patek Philippe counter was the first to burst out in anger!
She never imagined that a girl dressed in designer brands could be not only verbally venomous but physically vicious!
This was a 500,000-dollar Patek Philippe new model!
Although not their highest-end line, a watch of this price wasn’t sothing an average family could afford, yet Chloe Alden smashed it just like that!
The saleswoman imdiately walked out from behind the counter, directly blocking Chloe Alden, her expression furious.
"Miss, regardless of any grievances you have with our female custor, you shouldn’t have smashed our counter’s watch! Please compensate now!"
As the esteed daughter of a mayor, Chloe Alden was used to adoration, how could she tolerate a lowly employee showing her attitude!
"Get out of my way! I’ll pay, it’s not like I can’t afford this worthless thing!"
She arrogantly pushed the saleswoman hard.
Due to mall regulations, all saleswon had to wear high heels, and not expecting Chloe Alden’s audacity, the clerk lost her balance and was about to fall.
Cecilia Vaughn quickly extended a hand to catch her.
She gently asked, "Are you okay?"
The saleswoman gratefully shook her head, "Thank you, otherwise I would’ve fallen badly."
"It’s nothing, no need to thank ."
...
Cecilia Vaughn stepped in front of Chloe Alden, her expression cold.
"Eldest Miss Alden, I know you have money. That watch was only 500,000, you probably don’t care, but the boutique has a policy: destroying rchandise requires compensation at three tis the market price!"
"I think soone as wealthy as Miss Alden should be able to pay right now, right?"
Chloe Alden was stunned, not expecting the departnt store to have such a rule!
After making her family pay three million, now another large sum was due, and if her father found out, he’d definitely freeze her card!
...
Chloe Alden’s face turned from red to white, her bold words from earlier now reduced to a feeble retort.
"I don’t believe it! There’s no way you’d hike the price like this on the spot!"
Cecilia Vaughn chuckled coldly; the clerk had already contacted mall security. She gave a signal, and they quickly surrounded Chloe Alden.
"Miss Alden, are you refusing to pay?"
"Then it’s simple, we’ll report it as theft, and you can prepare to spend ti in custody!"
Sweating bullets, Chloe Alden helplessly turned to Fiona Vaughn for help.
...
Just then, the mall manager rushed over, and after surveying the situation, he was shocked and bowed deeply to Adrian Law.
"BOSS! Are you here for an inspection?"
Suddenly, everyone fell silent...
