Semua Bab She's No Gold Digger, She's the Real Deal: Bab 1 - Bab 7

Just as I was done speaking, a grimace appeared on Sophia Damer's face, contorting it for a second.She was the mother of my boyfriend, Jayson Simpson.However, the grimace lasted for only a split second. After all, she was a seasoned pioneer in the business world, and she quickly regained her haughty composure after a while.She looked disdainfully at the black card on the table and chortled."Ten million dollars? Young lady, don't you know that you can't lie about things like these? Did you really think that you could just throw out a random card and pretend you were some rich heiress in a drama?"I'm sure that a black card like that is very easily obtainable from the roadside credit card sign-up kiosks. Your empty threats and intimidation will never work on me!"Behind her stood my half-sister, Crystal Richmond. She and I shared the same father but had different mothers.Crystal held Sophia's hand and said shakily, "Sophia, please don't blame it on this lady here… I think… I

Jeff stood in front of Sophia, sweating profusely and standing so straight that his posture was almost obsequious. "Please don't be mad, Mrs. Simpson. The mall will investigate the matter and give you a satisfactory explanation for this."Would you like to call the police? Or—""The police?"Sophia scoffed coldly and set down her teacup before glancing at me. "Handing her to the police would be going too easy on her. If she gets a criminal record, my son will also be dragged into the matter."People will judge him for having dated a thief in the past. And the Simpsons will not allow that to happen."She paused for a while, not bothering to hide the evil glint in her eyes."Search her. I will expose her to the world and make them see how filthy and lowly this pathetic liar really is!"Search me? That would be massively humiliating. An uneasy look appeared on Jeff's face at once."Mrs. Simpson, we can't do that. We don't have the right to search her—"Sophia interrupted him at

Time seemed to stop after I revealed my full name, letting it echo in the otherwise empty VIP lounge room.The first person to react was Jeff, who had been gloating under my nose just a while ago.His legs turned to jelly, and all color drained from his face. His lips wouldn't stop trembling either as he stared at me with fear and despair in his eyes."M-Ms. Richmond…"Jeff finally forced the words out of his throat in a squeak. "Y-You're the Richmond Group heiress?"Chevy International Mall was a company under Richmond Group, and everyone in the upper management knew that the Richmond family's most beloved daughter, who often spent her days overseas, was named Cheryl Richmond.I gave him a side glance and said, "At least you're not dumb enough to forget your own boss' name."After I confirmed my identity, Jeff fell to the ground on his knees in shock. He then crawled up to me and cried, saying, "I'm sorry, Ms. Richmond! I was blind and couldn't recognize you from a mile away! I

Conrad Richmond.I opened my eyes, a flash of mockery appearing in them. I knew it."He has always been jealous of you. He thought that if it weren't for you, he would have been the rightful heir to the Richmond family. And since Crystal asked him for help, he jumped at the opportunity to humiliate you and also give you a hard time as a warning," Cecilia said."What a clown," I said coldly. "Since he wants to perform onstage so much, we'll make it so that he won't even have a chance to get off the stage.""Understood," Cecilia replied with a nod of her head. "Also, about the Simpsons…""What about them?"Cecilia looked at me in the rearview mirror, and seeing how calm I was, she reported, "Just now, after your father gave out his decree, the stock prices for Simpson Group plummeted just half an hour later, triggering a circuit breaker."The major banks have now issued official statements demanding that the Simpsons repay all of their loans immediately."The financial news is
