Chapter 211

“Crack!”

The soft sound had everyone in the living room shuddering in fear. Beads of cold sweat formed on everyone’s foreheads, and they covered their neck with their hands, gulping

With this crack, old Master Daniels suddenly stopped struggling and his limbs fell to by his side.

Everything had happened too quickly and by the time the Daniels family realized what was going on, Old Master Daniels’ neck had already been broken.

“Dad!”

“Old Master Daniels!”

“Clinton Zimmerman! How dare you kill my dad!” Tungsten questioned, his eyes red.

“Why? Do you want to attack me too, Mr. Daniels? Do you really want the Daniels family bloodline to end with you?” Clinton asked indifferently.

He acted as if killing Old Master Daniels was an insignificant thing to him.

That was not too far from the truth, since he always looked down on second-rate families like the Daniels.

If not for the fact that Morris was Silva’s lackey and Silva’s displeasure might affect his ten year appointment, Clinton would have gotten rid of the Daniels family with ease.

“You… Pfft…”

Tungsten spat out a mouthful of blood in anger and almost fainted He did not dare to attack Clinton.

Even if he did, he would only end up like Old Master Daniels. It was a suicidal act.

However, he still had to do something since Clinton had killed his father before his eyes. He had to take revenge as a filial son.

At the same time, Clinton had also lost his patience.

“My word still stands, Mr. Daniels. You have one day to dismiss the family and I will not kill all of you. Otherwise, you can say goodbye to continuing the Daniels family bloodline. Do not try t o fight back or escape, as I’ve never failed to do anything I wanted to here in Springfield.

Well, of course, you’re free to try anyway.”

After this, Clinton turned to leave the Daniels family home, leaving behind eyes that were filled with terror and the dead body of an old man.

Tungsten fell backward onto the sofa and stared at the ceiling blankly once Clinton left.

The people in charge of his companies and projects quietly left the Daniels family. The family was screwed, and as employees, they had to cut ties with the Daniels family as soon as possible.

While they had earned quite a lot of money working for the Daniels family, they valued their lives as well.

Extended families and relatives of the Daniels also quickly detached themselves from the main branch and left Springfield with their personal savings.

Overnight, the entire Daniels family crumbled to ashes. They were a somewhat known family within Springfield, holding hundreds of billions of dollars worth of assets. Now this family had broken apart and disappeared before everyone’s eyes.

No one has entertained the thought of taking revenge against the Zimmerman family, since none of them had a death wish.

Meanwhile, David, the true culprit behind all this was currently snoring away in the ten-star Starry Night Hotel

He lamented when he checked into Starry Night Hotel’s grand luxury suite last night and got into the room.

As expected of a ten-star hotel, it was much more luxurious than his eight-star one.

He even thought about purchasing the hotel. He wondered if the owner was willing to sell this hotel to him.

David was then woken up from his sleep by a call.

He picked up his phone and realized that it was from Pearl.

“Hello? Miss Pearl, is something wrong?” David asked. “Mr. Lidell! The project that was put on hold because of Gunther has now resumed. I also heard that the Daniels family was completely destroyed and removed from history!” Pearl said excitedly over the phone.

“Oh? Already? I thought Clinton said he’ll give me a more definite reply tomorrow. Quite efficient, hmm? Well, then, if that’s the case, don’t waste time. Seek out and invest in more projects! No one will dare to cause trouble anymore.”

“Alright, Mr. Lidell!”

After ending the call, Pearl started arranging for people to get to work. They had to put all negotiations on hold after Gunther had interrupted their development.

Gunther had sent out word that no one would further cooperate with these businesses if they proceeded to partner with East League.

Now that the Daniels family had toppled, no one was around to threaten them anymore and they could continue working peacefully. Everyone rejoiced.

Chapter 212

As expected of their boss, Mr. Lidell had managed to solve everything in just a day.

The employees knew that they had a bright future waiting for them as they worked under such a superior.

Not too long after David ended the call with Pearl, another call came in.

David did not recognize this unknown number.

“Hello? Who is this?” David asked.

“David! I’ve already removed the Daniels family as you requested. What do you think of it?” Clinton’s voice sounded from the other end of the line.

“Clinton! It’s wonderful, absolutely wonderful! It’s great doing business with you, Clinton. Don’t worry, I won’t forget what I promised you either. If there’s anything you need me to help with, please contact me,” David replied.

“You’re an easy man to negotiate with, David. If that’s the case, then I won’t disturb you any longer. Do look for me if there’s anything you need help with in Springfield,” Clinton said.

What Clinton needed most was the promise from David.

After ending the call with Clinton, David laid on the bed fell deep into thought.

After this incident with the Daniels family, David truly understood the importance of a person’s strength.

The Daniels brothers were far from weak, they just happened to encounter the Zimmermans, who were even stronger.

The latter was so strong that they did not have the chance to fight back at all.

They did not even belong in the same higher SCC tiers. Morris may have been an old core member, but Clinton was one of SCC’s founders.

Under the incentive of future benefits, the founder decided to get rid of the core member.

While the other founder who was supposed to step up as Morris’ support and stop Clinton had remained ignorant throughout the whole incident.

This meant a deal must have been stricken between the two founders.

Or they had traded some sort of benefit.

David also knew that Clinton would not have helped him at all if he had not shown such great strength.

It was also because Clinton needed David’s strength that the former offered to help him get rid of the Daniels family.

Everything happened because of strength, so he needed to continue enhancing himself.

This was the most important thing.

On the other side.

Pearl and Rhonda were staying in a high-class apartment.

with a body that could make any man nosebleed, Rhonda laid in bed as she talked on the phone.

A moment later, she put the phone down dazedly.

She had just learned of the Daniels fate.

She realized that she had underestimated Pearl’s superior. In a mere day, the Daniels brothers were crippled, Old Master Daniels was dead, and the Daniels family had been gotten rid of.

The most unbelievable part of it all was that Clinton, the founder of SCC, was the one behind all of that.

She wondered how David had managed to persuade Clinton to help get rid of a core member in his own organization.

Furthermore, Morris was Silva’s lackey, and she could not wrap her head around why Silva did not interfere.

Rhonda had too many questions about what happened.

It was too illogical, yet that did not stop it from being the truth.

She would have to find a time to ask Pearl for answers.

She wanted to know what happened when they went to meet Gunther yesterday and just who David Lidell was.

Chapter 213

The demise of the Daniels family was an insignificant incident in the international metropolis that was Springfield. Coupled with the deliberate blockade on gossip by the Zimmerman family, only a select few knew the truth about what happened.

East League International’s team resumed normal operations, doing their best to help David spend money by investigating and negotiating. David lost all drowsiness after he was woken up by the calls, so he went directly to East League International’s temporary office.

He was going to meet the landlord of this office building this afternoon and try to purchase this building before he headed to the Capital City. After what happened with the Daniels family, there should not be any more blind fools seeking to trouble East League International.

David planned to visit Clinton again just before he left and ask the man to help him keep a lookout for troublemakers since the latter needed his help.

He might as well make the best of this arrangement.

However, almost everyone was out of the office when he arrived. There were only a few ladies i n the financial department working in the office.

David’s arrival attracted the attention of these ladies.

They greatly admired such a superior since he was handsome, wealthy, from a powerful background, but not arrogant about it.

The man had only taken a day to solve the long-term issues the company had been facing.

He was too perfect and so, he became their dream man.

“Hello, Mr. Lidell!”

“Hello, Mr. Lidell!”

The ladies immediately stopped working and greeted David when they saw him enter.

All of them wanted to leave a good impression on this young and handsome superior.

“Hello! Thanks for the hard work! Where’s everyone else?” David asked, looking around the empty office

“Oh, Mr. Lidell, they’re all out to meet with clients. Because of the issue with Prosperity Properties a few days ago, most of our projects were put on hold. Now that Prosperity Properties is no longer obstructing us, all our projects have resumed so everyone’s going to be rather busy these days.”

“Alright. Thank you for your efforts. Have Miss Pearl bring you guys out on a paid vacation after this wave of work is over. Go anywhere you want, it’s on the company!” David said spiritedly.

“Then I’ll thank you on behalf of the company, Mr. Lidell!” One of the ladies said happily.

“Oh, right. Is Miss Pearl out as well?” David asked.

“I think Ms. Warner contacted another company that’s seeking investors and went to investigate the company this morning!”

“Alright. Don’t let me disturb you, I’m just here to look around.” Then, David walked into the general manager’s office. Because this was just a temporary office location, there was no chairman’s office for David.

He sat at the office desk and flipped through a few documents. Feeling uninterested, he pulled out his phone and started playing with it.

The high school class group chat seemed rather lively today.

Someone seemed to have tagged him.

David tapped on the group chat to read the messages.

In a quick moment, he finished reading the hundreds of messages.

He felt rather sad.

Apparently, there was a classmate in his high school class who lived quite close to Sarah.

Then, around two to three years ago, Sarah’s parents had brought her home. There were rumors that it was because she had depression and tried to kill herself once at school only for her dormmate to find her in time. After this, the schools contacted her parents to fetch her home.

Chapter 214

After she was brought home, Sarah did as she was told but she never spoke, as if she had gone mute. She did not say a single word even after returning home for a couple of days.

Her parents were frantic.

They were about to go to the school and demand an explanation.

Sarah was fine before, so they wanted to know what caused the sudden change.

The classmate who lived close to Sarah had heard of what happened from her family.

So now she was asking the class group chat if anyone knew the full story.

Naturally, the group chat ended up discussing this matter with fervor. In the end, they found out that David and Sarah used to study in the same school and were a couple during high school.

This resulted in many people tagging David and asking him if he knew what was going on with Sarah.

Many classmates even joked that David had dumped Sarah because he found someone else in university and this was why Sarah was depressed.

Then a few classmates who were rather close with Sarah directly called David a playboy.

Of course, there were also a few classmates who defended David and said that there was no way David would dump Sarah considering how much he liked her then. They were sure there was more than met the eye in this matter.

David’s lack of a response meant that the conversation then diverged from the issue of Sarah’s depression to meeting during the summer holiday.

The class had not arranged for a reunion ever since they graduated, and everyone was already about to graduate from university now. This suggestion naturally received the majority’s support, so everyone started discussing when to meet.

David gave it some thought and decided that he should indeed explain himself before everyone thought of him as a playboy. While this issue did not affect him too much, he did not like being blamed for something he did not do.

“Sarah and I actually broke up a long time ago. She was the one who dumped me, not the other way around because she fell for a guy from a rich family. But I heard that the guy’s family went bankrupt recently, so that’s basically what happened. You can ask around SRU if you

don’t believe me. The news should have spread quite widely by now.” People immediately started discussing the matter after David sent the message.

“So, in other words, Sarah had this coming? She dumped Dave for a rich boyfriend, and then couldn’t take the shock when this rich boyfriend’s family went bankrupt?”

“I think so. I trust Dave’s word. I knew it, there’s no way Dave would dump Sarah! He liked her so much in high school!”

“I thought Dave was the playboy, but it’s actually Sarah that’s the playgirl? Sigh, her situation’s so pitiful, though.”

“So what if she’s pitiful? She has no one to blame but herself! Dave was so good to her back in high school, so many of us girls were envious of her for having such a nice boyfriend. I can’t believe she dumped Dave for a rich guy! She had this coming!”

Then David texted again, “Alright, guys! Let’s not talk about this anymore, everyone has the right to choose whatever benefits them the most. I don’t regret anything, that’s enough for m e.”

Since David had spoken, everyone stopped talking about the matter as well.

As David said, everyone had the right to choose whatever benefited them most. However, once you had made your choice, then you should also have to bear all the consequences of it.

Everyone started discussing the reunion again and soon asked David whether he was going to attend.

David agreed and told them to just text him the address once it was decided.

This shocked everyone because from what they remembered about David, the man would always spend his free time during part-time work.

The class had gone out for many gatherings before and he did not attend any of them, not even for the graduation. Therefore, they had only asked him out of curtesy and were shocked when he agreed this time.

Chapter 215

In a mountain villa in Capital City.

Celia was currently resting in her room.

Today was Saturday and she did not need to go to school, so she decided she would sleep in today.

Only for her phone to buzz non-stop early in the morning.

Celia scrolled through her phone and realized that the high school class group chat was discussing an ex-classmate.

Celia lived in the Capital City, but she had gone to high school in the small county of Shu City. She had transferred to Shu City during her second year of high school.

This was because her father had transferred to Shu City then, and her mother, a powerful businesswoman, was always running around and out of the country for work. As a result, she followed her father to Shu City. However, a year later, her dad had made a name for himself in Shu City and was transferred back to Capital City. Back then, she insisted that she stay in Shu City until she graduated.

She told him that she had grown up and should learn to be independent and that changing schools constantly was not beneficial to her studies. From then onwards, seventeen-year-old Celia lived alone in Shu City.

She would go to school herself, learn to wash her own clothes, make food, clean the house, and adapt to the feeling of loneliness.

She did all this for one person.

Someone who gave her a second chance at life.

Despite the years that have passed, she could not forget this person that had deeply engrained himself in her heart.

She would never forget that weekend when she had just arrived at Shu City with her father. It was a rainy day, and she was crossing the road when she slipped and fell in the middle of the road.

At that moment, a lorry had lost control and had been speeding right at her. She was too petrified to move, but just as she closed her eyes and accepted her fate, she was engulfed in a warm hug. Instinctively, she hugged the person back with every ounce of energy she had.

A huge crash was heard and she opened her eyes only to realize it was a boy who was hugging her. She looked at the side of his face to see that he was well-kept and handsome.

She realized that the boy had carried her to the side of the road while the lorry had crashed into a building that was under construction a few dozen meters away from them.

She could only imagine what would happen to her if this boy had not saved her. It was possible that she would have been flattened by the lorry and gone to another world.

At that time, this boy had been delivering fast food.

To save her, the boy’s bicycle been thrown to the side and more than a dozen fast-food orders had gone to waste.

She wanted to compensate him, but he rejected her and said that anyone else would have done the same thing.

Yet, there were so many people in the street and he was the only one who risked his life to save her.

The next day, she realized that this boy was her classmate.

She was extremely elated by this.

From then on, she started paying attention to him.

The boy might never know that there was a pair of eyes secretly paying attention to his every move at school.

The boy was strong, motivated, optimistic, and cheerful.

No matter how bad his family conditions were, he never made a single complaint.

Whenever he was free, he would do part-time jobs to help reduce his family’s financial burdens.

He did not have much spare time to study, but his grades were always good.

Before she came to this school, this boy was always in the first place.

When she came to this school, there were times when she would purposefully make a few mistakes in her exams so that he could take first place again.

With this, they became good friends who cherished each other. Their grades always alternated between first and second places.

This was only possible because she intentionally made mistakes though. A year later, her father left Shu City but she insisted on staying because she did not want to leave him so soon.

Not too long after her father left, he found a girlfriend. She was a pretty girl from class. They suited one another, and the classmates teased that they were a match made in heaven.

She congratulated them, but once she returned home, she could not stop the tears from running down her face.

She spent a long time crying under her blankets. She had despised how cowardly and weak she was.

Chapter 216

She hated herself for not daring to confess her feelings.

Perhaps if she had made her intentions known earlier, she would be the one standing by his side.

She would be the one her classmates called the golden girl.

She thought long and hard that night before finally understanding.

She would be content if he could be truly happy.

Perhaps true love was not about possession.

She felt that her state of mind had upgraded at that moment.

Even so, she continued to pay attention to him.

He was happy with that girl.

She did not expect him to be such an attentive man who would do everything for the girl.

He would prepare breakfast in the morning, takeaway lunch at noon, send her home after school.

This continued until graduation. After which, they entered South River University together.

She was no longer modest in the exam this time. She was admitted to

Greenwood University in her hometown Capital City as the top scorer in her class, district, city, and province.

She also became the first provincial top scorer in the history of Shu City High and the first to b e admitted to the number one university in the country.

They had not kept in touch since university, and would only text their blessings to each other during holidays.

She wanted to get over him and move on with her life.

Three years had passed, yet he was still hiding in the deepest part of her heart.

That person was David!

When Celia saw the topic and characters her high school class group chat was discussing, she jumped out of bed, instantly awake.

It was because the female student Sarah they were discussing was David’s girlfriend.

‘How is that possible?

‘Why did Sarah turn out like this?

‘What about David?

‘What happened to him?

‘What is he doing now?

She saw the group chat discussing that Sarah turned out this way because David dumped her for someone new.

Celia’s face instantly went red with anger.

Having known David for two years, there was no way he would do that.

He was not the kind of man to be fickle in affection.

She thought it was possible that Sarah was the one who dumped David.

However, she had been lurking in the group chat all this time. She knew that the conversation would turn to her if she said something. Therefore, she just watched the conversation silently, expecting David to show up and eventually say something.

David said nothing even though many classmates had mentioned him.

She even wondered if something had happened to David.

Celia stared at her phone all morning, scared of missing David’s reply.

Just before noon, David finally spoke up in the group chat. Celia was relieved to see David’s explanation. Sure enough, it was pretty much what she speculated. Sarah had chosen a rich heir over David.

She did not understand why Sarah would do that when David had been so nice to her.

‘Is money really that important?’

‘So what if two people who love each other have no money? Can’t they live happily ever after all the same?’

Such things were bound to be incomprehensible to a girl who had never lacked money since she was a child.

Chapter 217

‘Wait a minute!

Celia seemed to have recalled something!

‘Sarah dumped David?

‘So, David is single now?

‘And he must be upset right now, right?

‘Should I comfort him?”

Celia sat on the bed, her pretty face twisted together, while a fierce argument played out in her mind.

‘Should I send David a message to comfort him?

‘What if he thinks I like him?

‘But I do like him!

‘I should confess my feelings to him now!

‘Or he’ll eventually get another girlfriend!

‘Since I can’t get over him, I should try to pursue him.’ Having made up her mind, Celia took out her phone and sent David a message with trembling hands.

However, she typed and deleted the simple message. She deleted it and typed again. In the end, she had changed it more than ten times before clenching her teeth and sending it to David.

She only sent a few words.

Celia: (David! How have you been?]

After sending the message, Celia stared nervously at her phone. Her beautiful big eyes were wide open until they were sore.

You could see how she was feeling.

Springfield

East League International’s temporary office.

David was sitting in the general manager’s office as he chatted with everyone in the group chat.

A text message appeared on the phone screen.

Celia: (David! How have you been?)

David tapped on the text message and learned it was from his high school classmate, Celia.

His mind flew back to that afternoon years ago.

The girl he rescued at Shu City’s intersection.

It was dangerous. A girl slipped in the middle of the road, and a heavy truck uncontrollably rushed over.

He was working part-time as a delivery boy. Without thinking twice, he threw his bike aside and ran to carry her to the roadside.

When he carried the girl to the roadside, the truck roared past them and soon crashed into a building under construction not far away.

If he had hesitated at all, the girl would have been hit by the truck. It would be almost certain death if a truck like that hit someone.

It was also raining, and there was a construction site around the intersection, which made the road slippery.

If he had also slipped in the process, both of them would have been killed by the truck.

Therefore, he was terrified even though he had saved the girl.

After saving the girl, he realized it was his new classmate, Celia. Because of that rescue, more than a dozen of his takeaways orders had been knocked down. His boss even deducted him of half a month’s salary. He still remembered Celia’s first day at school, and she immediately caused an uproar among almost all the boys in school.

Everyone started experiencing love in high school, and Celia satisfied almost all the boys’ image of the perfect goddess.

Her white dress, blonde hair, and perfect delicate features made her look as if she had walked out of a painting.

David was impressed with her too, but he did not pay much attention to her.

During high school, he was busy every day, intending to make more money to relieve the burden on Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana’s family. Ever since he saved her, the two people slowly grew familiar with each other, eventually becoming close friends.

It was not until he got together with Sarah that he began to distance himself from Celia because Sarah was so jealous that she did not want him to hang out with Celia.

As a man, David could feel how Celia treated him differently. However, he dared not accept it. Celia was like a beautiful cloud on the horizon, visible but unreachable.

His parents died when he was young, and he was often abused by Uncle Bobby until he moved t o Aunt Sally’s house in high school. Therefore, he had low self-esteem.

Chapter 218

It was impossible!

However, he tried to pretend as if nothing had happened to hide the inferiority buried deep in his heart.

Besides, he was afraid Celia treated him that way out of gratitude!

He thought she was pitying him.

Therefore, what little pride and reason he had left told him that girls like Celia were beyond his reach.

After he got Sarah, he slowly forgot about Celia.

Three years had passed. Besides exchanging a couple of words when they sent their blessings during holidays, they barely talked.

He did not expect her to text him out of the blue.

She must have read the message he sent in the group chat!

He sent a message back.

David: (I’m fine! What about you, Celia?] On the other side.

Celia stared at the screen of her phone as it finally received a response.

She was instantly overjoyed.

She typed another message and sent it to David.

Celia: (I’m fine too! David, when are you coming to Capital City? I’ll show you around the international metropolis! Capital City’s interesting and has many tourist attractions!)

David: (Sure! It just so happens that I might be coming to Capital City in a few days! I will be bothering you then because I’m not familiar with

Capital City.]

Celia froze when she saw David’s message.

‘David’s coming to Capital City?

‘And in a few days?

‘I didn’t dream it, did I?’.

Celia: (Really? Are you sure you’re not teasing me?)

David: [Of course!),

Celia: (We have a deal then. Contact me when you come to Capital City!) David: (Okay!)

Celia: (David!]

David: (Hmm?]

Celia: (I heard you broke up with Sarah.]

David: (Yeah! You must have seen it in the group chat! But I didn’t expect her to turn out like this!]

Celia: (Don’t feel bad. It’s not your fault! You’re a victim too!)

David: (I’m fine. The worst is over. I’ll welcome the future with a smile.)

Celia: (Okay! I’ll be here for you!)

After Celia sent the message, her cheeks turned bright red. It was so good-looking!

At the same time, she was extremely nervous as she began to breathe quickly. She did not know how David would respond to her!

It was pretty obvious what she meant when she said that, right?

David was stunned by the message.

Frankly, it would be a lie to say that David was not attracted to a girl like Celia.

However, he had strong self-control. He would not think about or touch what was not meant t o be his.

He and Celia had been two parallel lines that would never meet. In the end, he chose Sarah. Back then, he did not think there was that much difference between him and Sarah.

However, it was different now.

He had a system, and the two parallel lines had reached a meeting point.

Therefore, David decided to go with the flow and not deliberately avoid it.

However, he had just broken up with Sarah and was not ready to open up to someone else and move on just yet.

Sarah had hurt him so much.

He ended up with this result after four years of hard work. If he had not gotten the system and changed the trajectory of his life, what would have happened to him?

The laughingstock of SRU, the object of Leo’s humiliation, and even something for Sarah to brag up.

He would never be able to hold his head up in school!

Chapter 219

How Sarah ended up was sad!

However, it was unworthy of David’s sympathy.

Mainly because she had hurt David too much.

There was nothing wrong with breaking up when two people stopped loving each other. However, Sarah even humiliated him to please Leo after breaking up, which David thought was too hurtful.

Before he returned to normal, he decided not to respond to Celia’s hints and wait for a while. first.

Therefore, he said, “I’ll contact you when I’m in Capital City!” On the other side.

Celia waited anxiously, and David finally texted back.

However, she was somewhat confused by the contents of the message!

‘What the hell does that even mean?

“Am I not making myself clear enough?

‘Why is he as dense as a tree?

‘Do I have to say ‘David, I like you and want to be with you. Could I be your girlfriend?’ for him to take the hint?’ ‘It’s hard enough for a girl to say that, okay?

‘Oh! He’s such a pig.’

However, Celia cheered up when she remembered that David would be coming to Capital City soon and they could meet each other. ‘Okay! I’ll just tell him right away then. He said he would contact me anyway.

‘I won’t settle for anything less than a definite answer.’ At that moment, there was a knock on Celia’s door.

Her mother-Mindy Graham’s voice came from outside the door. “Celia, it’s almost noon. Why are you still asleep? Get up! We have guests! Aren’t a big girl like you ashamed?”

“Oh, Mom! It’s Saturday. Just let me sleep in a little longer.”

“Sleep? I told you we have guests. Hurry downstairs and greet them.”

“That’s your guests. I don’t know them. Why should I go downstairs?” “You will never know them if you don’t come downstairs. Hurry downstairs after washing up! Don’t make me call you again!” Mindy turned and went downstairs after she finished talk.

Celia angrily got out of bed and began to wash up.

She had no choice. If her mother came up here a second time, she would flip the covers off her.

Celia went downstairs after washing up. She saw a mother and son talking to her mother in the living room.

Her father, Jon Young, sat beside them, reading the newspaper.

“Dad! Mom!” Celia shouted as she went into the living room.

“Celia, hurry over. Let me introduce you to my business partner, Aunt Caitlyn, and this is her son Joshua Houston. Joshua’s a top student who just came back from studying abroad. You should talk to each other,” Mindy said to Celia with a smile.

“Aunt Mindy, I’m no top student. I heard that Celia goes to Greenwood University, a world famous university. Celia’s the one who’s a top student,” Joshua said humbly.

He looked at Celia, his eyes almost popping out of his head.

Celia’s face was still wet from washing up after getting out of bed. She wore no makeup and had on baggy pajamas.

As a top rich heir, Joshua was a good catch. He was over 1.8 meters tall and had pretty good looks. He had also dated many women over the years. 1

However, in terms of level, none of the women he dated were one-tenth as good as Celia without makeup. At least he thought so. With good looks reaching about a 6 or 7, any woman could become an 8 or 9 after applying makeup.

It was rare to meet a 9.5 without makeup, such as Celia.

His mother had brought him here today to introduce him to the daughter of one of her business partners, who was also a top student at Greenwood University. He was initially resistant to the idea.

a top school like Greenwood University had to be nerds who wore glasses. He had no interest in such women. He wanted to fool around for many more years!

Chapter 220

However, he had no choice as his mother said she would cut him off financially if he did not come.

She had seized his weakness.

How could he have fun without money?

How was he going to spend all night in pubs with his buddies?

How was he going to obtain the latest sports car?

How was he going to drive around in sports cars pursuing girls?

Therefore, he was put under financial pressure.

However, he fell in love the moment he saw Celia.

He had once bragged to his buddies that he would never give up the sea for a fish.

However, he would not hesitate to give up tens or even hundreds of seas for Celia, let alone one.

“You’re both top students, so you youngsters have more to talk about!” Mindy said with a chuckle.

“Hello, Aunt Caitlyn and Joshua!” Greeted Celia as she sat down.

“Hello, Celia!”

“Hello, Celia!”

Celia was disgusted by the look in Joshua’s eyes.

They were full of possessiveness just like the other guys.

The only one she liked was the way David looked at her.

It was a look of appreciation without a trace of desire.

The two families did not talk for long before having lunch. After lunch, Celia made up an excuse to leave, saying that she was going shopping with her best friends.

She did not want to talk to them anymore.

She knew what her mother was up to-she wanted to set her up with the son!

It could strengthen their cooperation.

At the end of the day, profit came first.

“That’s great! Take Joshua out while Aunt Caitlyn and I discuss some business!” Mindy said to Celia.

“Mom! I’m going shopping with my besties. They’re all girls. It won’t be appropriate to bring a guy,” complained Celia.

“What’s wrong with a guy? He could help you carry your things!

Otherwise, can you carry everything you buy by yourself?” Retorted Mindy.

“Yes, yes, yes! I can help Celia carry things. Don’t worry, Celia. I’m in good health, and I exercise regularly. I’m perfectly fine with carrying 100 kilograms. You can buy whatever you want,” Joshua said quickly.

He would love to go shopping with Celia!

It would be even better if they were alone!

However, it would be nice to have a few girlfriends around.

With Celia’s good looks, how much worse would her girlfriends be?

The thought of being in a mall surrounded by beautiful women ranking higher than 9 and seeing the envious looks of men around them made Joshua feel full of excitement.

Celia stopped talking and turned away. She knew there was no point in saying anything more.

Joshua hurried out after her.

Once they were outside the villa, Celia told Joshua to wait for her car.

Joshua stood there and waited excitedly.

He thought they were going to share a car, but Celia made him wait to ride with her.

A girl who let a man ride in her car was like allowing him to enter her bedroom.

It seemed that Celia was slowly accepting him.

It gave Joshua a burst of confidence!

He thought to himself, ‘With my charm, even a top beauty like Celia will soon be mine.’
