“Stella?”
Yves immediately dialed Stella’s number without hesitation. There was no need to hide it since he was in front of Oliver, so Yves put the call on speaker.
“Stella, let me ask you, did Oliver buy cars from you?”
Hearing that, Stella had no choice but to be honest since Yves had discovered it. “Yves, I didn’t know Mr. Eastwood was your classmate, let alone Isabel’s ex-boyfriend. He bought eight luxury cars in our store for 7.46 million dollars, all paid in full and with no loans. He’s really wealthy. The female employee of his company even chatted with me that Mr. Eastwood has bought a store and office building on Gerton Plaza’s first and second floors, which covers more than 10 thousand square feet, all paid in full. It cost him 8 million dollars!”
7.46 million dollars for luxury cars and 8 million dollars for a store and office building!
Both Yves and Isabel were dumbfounded upon hearing that.
If they had any doubts at the beginning, Oliver dispelled them by sending a series of monetary gifts totaling 68 thousand dollars in the class group chat. No one in their right mind would put up a pretense to randomly throw away 68 thousand dollars.
Oliver was indeed rich and did not care about such sums. Around 20,000 dollars to him was like pocket change, and Oliver was using the money to slap Yves in the face!
Yves was very embarrassed.
Furthermore, Oliver had just instructed his people on the phone to go to the hotel to pay for the wedding expenses.
Their family booked a total of 100 tables at Happiness Hotel, priced at 260 dollars for each table, totaling 25,760 dollars. Then they spent 12,000 dollars on the wedding ceremony, making a grand total of 37,760 dollars.
Oliver simply threw away 105,760 dollars’ worth of monetary gifts, clearly intending to humiliate Yves.
Moreover, Yves was rendered speechless because Oliver casually spent more than 100 thousand dollars to embarrass the former. There was no way Yves could fork out the same amount to fight back.
Isabel was filled with bitterness and regret. If she did not break up with Oliver, those luxury cars and a company worth a few -million dollars would have been hers. And who knows how much money Oliver had in his bank account?
In Yves’ family, the figures Isabel had heard were usually around 20,000 dollars. A car that was around 20,000 dollars, an expenditure of around 20,000 dollars, and grand occasions that were around 20,000 dollars.
However, Oliver, whom she had dumped, was operating on a level of a few million dollars. He had outperformed Yves by a wide margin.
What puzzled Isabel more was how Oliver became so wealthy.
It had only been a short period of time!
But regardless, it was true that Oliver had made a fortune. He gave out 68 thousand dollars in monetary gifts and presented gifts worth 36 thousand dollars. No one would borrow money to show off their wealth. Only a fool would do that.
Looking at Oliver’s indifferent expression, Isabel suddenly understood something. “Oliver is definitely not a fool! He’s using money to embarrass me!” she said to herself.
On the other hand, Yves was furious as he had been showing off in front of Harold, only to be contradicted by his cousin’s words.
Besides, based on Harold’s mocking expression and recent behavior, it was evident that he had known about this and intentionally led Yves to show off and be humiliated.
“Damn it, this bastard!” Yves silently cursed at Harold.
The wedding car began to depart. This time, it was not going back to Yves’ house at Juset Riveria Residences but to Happiness Hotel.
As soon as they arrived at the hotel, Yves and Isabel stood by the red carpet, waiting for the wedding host to begin.
At that moment, a middle-aged man came out of the hotel and respectfully said to Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, all the expenses for the wedding at the hotel have been paid, totaling 37,600 dollars.”
Oliver nodded, threw the car key at him, and said, “You drive. Let’s go back!”
Yves, Isabel, and Harold stared blankly as Oliver got into the wedding car driven by Wayne. The six vehicles then drove away in a convoy.
All six luxury cars belonged to Oliver!
Suddenly, Yves felt a sense of emptiness. His wedding no longer had any joyous feelings.
Isabel, too, was in a daze. Without even thinking, she knew there must be a rift between her and Yves.
But could she still go back to Oliver?
While driving, Wayne asked Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, do you know the couple that are getting married today?”
“I don’t expect it to turn out like this. The groom and bride are my high school classmates, and most groomsmen and bridesmaids are my classmates too. Moreover, the bride is my ex-girlfriend!” Oliver replied with a wry smile, He did not hide the truth from Wayne.
Wayne fell silent for a while before saying, “Mr. Eastwood, your classmates are very snobbish!”
“Yes.” Oliver nodded in.
response.
Before reaching home, Oliver heard a notification sound from his phone. He glanced at it and saw that it was a text message from Isabel. She wrote: [Oliver, I’m sorry. Can you forgive me?]
Oliver contemplated for a moment, typed a few words, and then deleted them.
“It’s time to turn the page. I should leave the past behind,” he told himself.
Now that he had the beautiful Sienna and possessed the skill to identify things without limits, it was time for him to live his
life to the fullest.
When Oliver arrived home, Sienna was there with a large travel bag. Since she had heard the former saying they might be going to a mountainous area, so she did not bring a suitcase.
Sienna looked at the stairs and said to Oliver, “I’m not going back tonight. I’ll stay here with you.”
“R-Really? Your parents allow you to stay with me?” Oliver felt inexplicable joy when he saw Sienna, and he became even more delighted when the latter said she was not going back home.
Sienna pursed her lips and answered, “Both of them went for a drive. It’s because you bought them such a nice car. That’s why they just left me with you.”
“Don’t worry. I will take good care of you,” Oliver quickly assured her while patting his chest.
Sienna glanced at him and asked with a half-smile, “What kind of good care are you talking about?”
Hearing that, Oliver was stunned and could not come up with a response.
Sienna looked upstairs again and asked, “Where am I staying? I’m tired. I want to rest for a while.”
“You can stay in any room upstairs. The two rooms on the left side of the second floor are where my parents and sister stay.”
With that, Sienna did not say anything more and went upstairs.
Oliver wanted to follow her, but he held himself back.
At the thought of Sienna’s enchanting eyes and radiant face, his heart began to flutter again. He could not help but remember their first meeting and the blind date situation.
No matter how hard Oliver thought, he still could not remember what had happened in the hotel that night.
“If I slip upstairs, will Sienna beat me?” Oliver thought.
He guessed that if she really made a move, he might not be able to win against Sienna, considering she had professional training at the police academy.
In the evening, Oliver took a nap on the sofa in the living room. When he woke up, he saw Joanna bringing a plate of sliced
fruits.
Sienna also brought a few glasses of drinks and gave a glass to Oliver. “This is freshly squeezed orange juice. Try it.”
Oliver took a sip, frowned, and complained, “It’s so sour!”
“Huh? That’s impossible. I tasted it. It’s very sweet…” Sienna looked surprised, took the glass from his hand for a sip, and said,
“It’s sweet. You…”
She looked up, saw Oliver’s smile, and realized that she had been tricked. novelbin
Oliver glanced outside the window while picking up his phone and asked, “Did I sleep for so long? It’s already dark outside.”
He received many text messages and over a dozen missed calls.
The messages were from Isabel. She wrote: [Oliver, I’m back at my parents’ house. Yves and I had a big argument at the wedding. The wedding is off. Where are you? I really want to see you! I asked Stella for your phone number, but you never picked up. Oliver, please, don’t be angry with me anymore, okay?]
All the missed calls were from Isabel too. Ever since she dumped Oliver, she never called him.
That was unexpected. Stella definitely could not have anticipated it either. She invited Oliver to provide some wedding cars, but as a result of his presence, it ended up ruining Yves and Isabel’s wedding.
While Oliver was pondering, his phone vibrated again. Isabel was calling again.
Oliver glanced at Sienna. Looking at his phone with big bright eyes, she turned around and asked Joanna, “Who is Isabel?”
“Oliver’s ex-girlfriend. She left him because she thought he was poor. I don’t like her at all!” Joanna answered without hesitation as she pursed her lips.
