Stanley continued to taunt Vincent aggressively and said, “What is it? Are you here to tearfully ask my aunt for a refund? It’s alright—it’s just a car. I’ll just go up right away and ask her to return the money to you. You don’t have to worry since she’s very fond of you. After all, she is your great-aunt.”

The 100-million luxury car used to be the apple of his eye, but it was now a disgrace to him. He still remembered how the car’s price had been driven up to an exorbitant price of 100 million!

Sean knew that Vincent had suffered a blow to his pride on that day, and he found it rude to deal the latter with another blow while looking at Vincent’s pitiful appearance. He comforted Vincent by saying, “It’s alright. Sophia has joined the Michel Family after Uncle Cooper, but she’s still your great-aunt no matter what. She’ll surely return the money to you since you’re a younger member of the family.”

He seemed to be comforting Vincent, but the note of ridicule in his voice was evident.

Vincent had been in the same grade as Sophia and the others back at Bayside University. They even went through military training in the same reinforced battalion, but Vincent wasn’t on familiar terms with Sophia back then.

However, Vincent was reaching for the stars back then. He kept a low profile at university, devoting himself to his studies and taking part in the Mitchell Family’s affairs early on. Also, he distanced himself from Stanley and Sean, whom he viewed as two good-for-nothings who only knew how to play online games. Contrary to his expectations, everyone’s circumstances had changed after so many years.

In the end, Vincent left the building as he wiped the tears away from his reddened eyes. After going back, he got himself drunk. Feeling that his life had been turned upside down, he’d never be able to recover from the shock. Seeing that he was hit badly, Sandra abandoned him in disgust.

What a useless thing—he ended up like this just because a woman scammed him out of a bit of money!

Sandra was burning with anxiety right now. Knowing that she had fallen into a scam and offended Alice, she knew that she had to make up for this.

D*mn it! I was scammed out of so much money by a con artist!

 

In the Michel Group’s office building, Sean, Derek, and Stanley laughed and joked as they commented on how embarrassed Vincent looked just now while going up to the 18th floor to see Linus.

Plum Technology and Michel Group were joining hands to launch a cutting-edge gaming laptop, and the two companies were now discussing the contract.

 

On the 18th floor, Sophia was extremely pleased as she recalled how Vincent had left tearfully in deep dejection just now.
