Samantha picked up a few bags to get a closer look and feel of them.Suddenly, her attention was drawn to a beautifully-designed LV bag. It was love at first sight.She stretched out her hand and picked up the bag to have a closer look.As she was inspecting it, a loud shout rang out, “What are you doing?! Put down that bag right now!”Samantha was so startled by the unexpected voice that she accidentally dropped the LV bag on the ground.“Oh my god!” a raging shout came from nearby.Samantha was scared out of her wits and quickly snatched up the bag in a panic.“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’m really sorry about that!” Samantha hastily apologized.A woman wearing a name tag identifying her as the store manager walked over with a cold, angry expression on her face.The woman’s name was Shuri Jung and was the manager of the store.Shuri walked over and snatched the bag from Samantha’s hand.“Have you lost your f*ck*ng mind?! Do you know how much this bag costs?! Can you even f*ck*n

The onlookers turned to look at Adrian right after he said that.When Samantha saw Adrian walking toward her, all of the grief she felt turned into tears that flowed down her cheeks non-stop.Adrian pulled her into his embrace and looked at Shuri. “Do you know what happens to those who look down on others, pretty lady?“Answer me this… How do you know we can’t afford the bag?”Shuri folded her arms and sized Adrian up before smirking coldly. “You’re her husband, aren’t you? You should keep your woman in check and make her stop touching things she can’t afford. I doubt she’d be able to cover the cost of dirtying my bags even if she became a prostitute.”Shuri had an expression of pure disgust, while Adrian began to laugh.“You keep going on and on about how we aren’t able to afford the bag. Why don’t you just tell me how much it costs?”Shuri could not stop herself from letting out a cold sneer. “You sound like you’re actually going to buy it. If I tell you the price, you might g

The two staff began counting the money.After some time, one of them pronounced, “Sir, it is exactly eighty-two thousand dollars. No more, no less.”Everyone’s mouths hung wide open at that proclamation.“Holy sh*t! He’s filthy rich!”“I know, right? That Shuri lady is in trouble now!”“She thought he was just a construction worker, but it turns out he’s someone she shouldn’t have offended!”The onlookers continued to chatter amongst themselves, waiting to see what was going to happen to Shuri.Samantha was slightly shocked. She had not expected Adrian would be able to get so much cash with just a phone call.Meanwhile, Shuri was so embarrassed she could not utter a single word. If possible, she would have loved to dig a hole for her to hide in.She never expected that the man she deemed a poor miser would turn out to be so wealthy.“Since the amount is right, does that mean this bag belongs to me now?” Adrian asked with a smile.“Yes, sir. This bag belongs to you now,” one

What happened back there?” Samantha asked, no longer able to contain the curiosity she felt inside.Of course, Samantha was overjoyed that Adrian had helped her regain her dignity. But the money spent as a result was just…However, Adrian simply looked at her and smiled. “I'll be honest. It took me years to accumulate all that money.”“What?”Samantha was shocked, while Rue looked at her son in confusion.“How did you manage to save that much money?” Rue asked.Adrian explained by saying, “As you both know, soldiers get paid quite well. I’v

I’m sure Riley and the others are there by now.”“Okay!”***Samantha, Adrian, and Rue soon arrived at the hotel, where they found Riley, Elara, and the management group had already been waiting for a while.When Elara and Riley saw Samantha walking in, their gazes immediately fell on her new LV bag.After all, women loved bags, especially branded ones.And now, they had a topic to talk about.When Elara found out that Adrian was the one who bought Samantha the bag, she brought out her own and compared it with Samantha’s.

He had a powerful, masculine temperament with the intimidating presence of a veteran fighter.Jaden shuddered when he saw him and said, “I’m really sorry the plan failed, War Legate Hydra. Something went wrong in Swallowston and War Legate Draco was here. Nobody saw this coming!”The man called War Legate Hydra squinted his eyes.Luposia’s military ranks reflected that of Navia—made up of ten battle warr

Hundreds of people began closing in on Barry from all corners.But the young man was as agile as a monkey, so much so that nobody was able to catch him. On top of that, any of the bodyguards who were not careful ended up being knocked to the ground by him.However, despite his nimble feet, Barry knew he could not stay there any longer and headed downstairs after making a few openings for himself.“Out of my way! Out of my way! D*mn it… Get out of my way if you value your life!” Barry yelled furiously as he flew down the stairs.The bodyguards that entered the stairs from the bottom floor quickly had Barry surrounded, but he sent them all flying with a single flying kick and continued his escape.“F*ck!” Jaden cursed when he saw this.“Why the hell am I paying you guys? Get him and beat him to death.“Don’t let him escape or we’re done for when he leaks our whereabouts.“Go, now!”The bodyguards relentlessly chased after Barry like madmen, causing him to rush downstairs at an e

Samantha and Rue were shocked upon hearing the gunshots.“Where did that come from?” Samantha reflexively turned toward the source of the sound.Rue panicked and said, “Now’s not the time, Sam. We need to get out of here.”Samantha quickly started up the car and was just about to drive off when Adrian suddenly grabbed the steering wheel.“Don’t move!”Samantha turned her head in confusion and asked, “Why not?”Adrian opened the door and got out. “Wait here. There’s surely something happening if there are gunshots this late at night. I’m going over there to check it out.”“Why are you going there? Are you crazy?!”“Get back here this instant, Adrian!”Rue and Samantha shouted but Adrian was so focused on the gunshots that he ignored them.He dashed off and disappeared into the distance. It was not until he was really far away that they noticed that he was already gone and had disappeared from their sight before they could say anything more.The women had no choice but to sit
