    “Pfft! Little girl, you’ve been fooled.” Gerald burst intoughter.


    “I know his financial state.


    “He’s the Murphy family’s loser son-inw!


    “He works like a maid at home!


    “His wife doesn’t allow him to touch her!


    “His monthly sry is a mere three thousand!


    “He buys cheap off-the-rack clothes!


    “Do you seriously think someone like him can afford a Ferrari worth 9.6 million ?”


    Gerald said jokingly as he looked at rence, “rence, you gotta choose your battleground wisely, even if you wanna pretend. Do you know what kind of ce this is? It’s the biggest luxury car dealership in Mediterranean City. Aren’t you afraid of getting kicked out?”


    rence said lightly, “Can’t a matrilocal son-inw afford a Ferrari?”


    Gerald said yfully, “Some matrilocal sons-inw might be able to, but not you.”


    “What if I can?” asked rence.


    “Okay! Pay up first. We’ll give you the contract afterward.” Cynthia sneered and looked at rence.


    Jane was surprised and said, “Cynthia, isn’t it customary to sign the contract before paying?”


    “Shut up!” snapped Cynthia.


    “What do you know? That rule where the contract is signed before payment applies to other customers, but for some people who pretend to be rich when they actually have no money, it’s better to make them pay up first.”


    With that said, Cynthia snatched the contract from Jane’s hand.


    “Pay up!” Cynthia was haughty and spoke in a condescending tone as she looked at rence.


    Jane looked at rence. “Mr. Howard, why don’t you… pay first?”


    rence frowned. He did not have any money on him now.


    “What’s the matter? rence, do you have no money? If you really want to buy a car, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to pay first, right?” Gerald smiled as if he had seen through rence.


    “Just wait a little longer.” rence shook his head.


    “You have no money. What’s there to wait for?” Cynthia red at rence.


    She tore up rence’s contract in front of everyone and shoved it into the shredder.


    “Jane, be more alert in the future. Why bring contracts for people who can’t afford cars? Don’t you know that paper costs money too?


    “This paper costs a dor per piece. A contract has more than 30 pages, so that’s more than 30 dors! I’ll deduct it from your sry this month.” Cynthia looked vicious.


    Jane was aggrieved.


    More than 30 dors… she had worked half a day for nothing.


    Just then…


    Cecilia hurried over and noticed the weird atmosphere. “What’s wrong?”


    “Hehe.” Cynthia sneered, but did not answer.


    Cecilia frowned. “Lil Bro, did you pick out a car like I asked you to?”


    “Yes, but someone tore up the contract.” rence shrugged.


    “Someone tore up the contract? What happened?” Cecilia’s pretty face darkened.


    rence exined what had just taken ce.


    “What’s wrong with your car dealership? This customer wants to buy a car, yet you asked him to pay first, and then even tore up the contract?” Cecilia looked mad.


    Cynthia shook her head in amusement. “Do you think he can actually afford it?”


    “I’ll pay, okay? Get your manager here!” Cecilia’s face was grim.


    “Sorry, the manager has no time. You can just talk to me.” Cynthia looked haughty.


    “Ah, so he’s a boy toy now! Nice, rence. I can’t believe you found yourself a richdy while being a loser son-inw.


    “I envy you! You can make money just by lying down!” Gerald understood everything now. It turned out rence was choosing a car, and Cecilia would be paying for it.


    Lilyughed along. “Gerald, what’s there to envy? You’re making ten million a year as a manager for the Wonder Group. Can rence make more than ten million as a boy toy?”


    “Wonder Group? Howe I don’t know any managers from the Wonder Group who make over ten million annually?” Cecilia frowned.


    Lily said proudly, “Tsk! What do you know, you hillbilly? Of course you can’t make more than ten million on your sry alone, but you can get some extra money from kickbacks.


    “Coupled with some social engagements and bonus payment from clients, isn’t it easy to make more than ten million a year?”


    Cecilia frowned. “What’s your boyfriend’s name?”


    “Gerald Lambert. What’s the matter? You wanna go to Wonder Group and check if he really works there?” Lily had a proud look on her face.


    “Stop talking.” Gerald nudged Lily.


    Gerald recognized the suit Cecilia was wearing. It was top-of-the-line Chanel, worth millions.


    ‘What if Cecilia knows someone high up in Wonder Group? Will she blow my cover?’


    There was an old saying that trouble issues from the mouth.


    “Oh? Gerald Lambert…”


    Cecilia nodded, took out her phone, and made a call. “Hello? Check right now if there’s a Gerald Lambert in thepany.


    “Yes. By the way, check his sry and financial transactions too. I suspect he’s taking kickbacks from clients. Whether that’s true or not, fire him right now!


    “We’ll decide whether to pursue legal action after seeing the results!”


    Cecilia was swift and decisive, hanging up after saying just a few words.


    “Yo, you’re really taking this too far.” Lily looked disdainful.


    ‘Do you know who my boyfriend is? Even in Wonder Group, he’s in middle management. Is one word from Cecilia seriously enough to fire him?’


    However, Gerald had a bad feeling about this.


    Just then.


    Gerald’s phone rang.


    “Hello?


    “What? What did you just say, Sir? I’m fired?!” Gerald’s voice was as shrill as a cat with a trampled tail.
