Chapter 775: 245: Does a good-for-nothing deserve it? (Second Update)
Mrs. Tiarks was very enthusiastic, pulling Rachel Barton towards the car, “Rachel, do you know that you should eat less junk food? Especially for girls like you, those barbecue and milk tea sold outside are all junk food. Eating too much can make you ugly and won’t help you grow tall!”
Flora Tiarks was speechless, “Mom, haven’t you seen Vio? Viola Thompson drinks two cups of milk tea a day, is 1.76 meters tall, and looks so good!”
Mrs. Tiarks: “…” She was at a loss for words.
Rachel Barton could only follow Mrs. Tiarks to the car.
Mr. White and Flora Tiarks followed behind.
Mr. White got into the passenger seat and ordered the driver, “Go to the Financial Tower.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Tiarks frowned slightly, “Marcus, you’re going to the Financial Tower now?”
“Yes.” Mr. White nodded slightly, “There’s a meeting in the company.”
“So you’re not going to dinner tonight?”
Hearing this, Rachel Barton felt a bit disappointed.
If Mrs. Zacks hadn’t appeared just now, would Mr. White have gone to the barbecue with them?
For a moment, Rachel Barton regretted getting into Mrs. Zacks’ car.
The Financial Tower was some distance away from the Tiarks’ villa.
The driver took a detour to the Financial Tower, “Mr. White, are you in a hurry?”
“Not in a hurry,” Mr. White leaned back in his seat, slightly closing his eyes, “Just be there within forty minutes.”
“Alright.” The driver nodded.
Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the Financial Tower.
The Financial Tower covered an area of three acres, all of which were 88-story skyscrapers. The locals in Capital City knew that this area was all owned by the White family.
Mr. White was really stingy.
But he was also really rich!
The car stopped, and Mr. White casually took two sandwiches from the car refrigerator, “Sis, I’m taking the sandwiches.”
“Okay,” Mrs. Zacks first nodded, then said, “Can you make do with sandwiches for tonight? Or should I have Uncle Fu bring you some food?”
As his older sister, she was very concerned about his health.
“It’s fine, as long as it’s enough to fill my stomach.” Sixty years later, due to famine, many people fell to the point where they had no grass roots or tree bark to eat, and there were even incidents of ‘eating each other’s children’.
Therefore, Mr. White’s requirements for food were never high; as long as it could fill his stomach, it was enough.
Mrs. Zacks couldn’t help but say, “Marcus, you don’t really need to be . Money is for enjoyment. Look at you, not willing to eat or drink, what’s the point of earning so much money?”
Madam Zacks was also very puzzled.
Who did her brother take after?
And certainly not his sisters.
Marcus White seemed to be the odd one out in the family.
Moreover, ever since he was a child, Mr. White had been at home.
During their teenage years, while other parents were trying every means to make their children save money.
Her parents were racking their brains to make Marcus spend more money.
Mr. White smiled and looked back, “Earning money is a process of constantly overcoming one’s own weaknesses.” Men have a sense of conquest rooted in their bones.
Of course, there’s also the desire to win at play.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zacks was speechless.
She and her brother never had much in common.
After saying this, Mr. White pushed open the door and got out of the car, “Sis, I’m leaving first.”
“You go ahead.” Mrs. Zacks nodded.
Mr. White carried the sandwiches and walked into the tower.
Not until Mr. White’s figure disappeared into the tower did Mrs. Zacks instruct the driver to start the car.
Twenty minutes later, the car finally arrived at the Tiarks’ villa.
Rachel Barton was not new to the Tiarks’ house.
She was also quite familiar with the Tiarks’ family.
Even the Tiarks’ servants recognized Rachel Barton.
“Miss Si, please have some tea.”
“Thank you.” Rachel Barton took the teacup with both hands.
Mrs. Zacks ordered, “Nanny Bruce, tell the kitchen that we have an important guest tonight and to prepare more food.”
Mrs. Zacks sat on the sofa, looked at Rachel Barton, and then asked, “When are you starting school, Rachel?”
“Tomorrow.” Rachel Barton answered.
Mrs. Zacks nodded and smiled, “The Normal University is nearby. Come over and visit our house whenever you have time.”
“Alright, Auntie.”Mrs. Zacks didn’t seem to have any snobbishness or meanness that Rachel had seen on other wealthy socialites in novels. On the contrary, she seemed very kind and treated everyone equally, without making distinctions between the poor and the rich.
“By the way Rachel, have you ever been in a relationship?”
Hearing these words, Rachel’s eyes were filled with a dim expression.
She hadn’t been in a relationship.
But her chastity was long gone, and she even carried someone else’s child once…
Quickly, Rachel recovered and smiled, saying, “Not yet.”
She couldn’t admit it.
She absolutely couldn’t admit to that humiliating past.
Mrs. Zacks nodded and said with a smile, “You’re still young, don’t worry about relationships yet. Let me find someone good for you.”
Was Mrs. Zacks talking about her brother, Mr. White?
At the thought of this,
Rachel’s heart began to beat faster and her cheeks reddened slightly, “Thank you, auntie.”
As soon as Flora Tiarks heard this, she enthusiastically chimed in, “Mom, find someone for me too! I want a handsome guy who’s at least 6’2″ tall, has a six-pack, and looks as handsome as Nick!”
“You?” Mrs. Zacks sneered, “Even if you were to wash Nick’s feet, he’d still think you’re not good enough.”
Flora Tiarks: “…” Is she really my mother?!
An assistant comes to Haruna Yukawa’s room.
Haruna Yukawa glances at the assistant, “Did you get it?”
The assistant hands Haruna Yukawa a file bag.
Haruna Yukawa tears open the bag to reveal a red invitation inside.
The invitation is covered in gold foil, reflecting beautiful light under the illumination of the lamp.
It’s an invitation to a cocktail party hosted by Mr. Sanders.
Mr. Sanders is a famous mathematician and cryptographer… and holds an unparalleled status internationally.
It’s said that he came to Capital City to find someone.
The cocktail party is filled with influential people.
Even Terrence is said to be attending.
Of course, Haruna Yukawa wouldn’t miss this opportunity, so she went out of her way to secure an invitation.
As a princess of Jaban Country, there is nothing she can’t have if she doesn’t want it.
7 o’clock in the evening.
Dressed in her finest attire, Haruna Yukawa attends the cocktail party.
As a princess of a country, Haruna Yukawa is somewhat famous internationally.
So as soon as she arrives, people come up to her to greet her.
Like an unattainable flower on a high cliff, Haruna Yukawa doesn’t show even a slight smile from beginning to end.
At that moment, a deep, magnetic voice resonates in the air.
Just by the sound of it, one would think that this must be an incredibly handsome man.
Haruna Yukawa takes a step back and gazes up at an astonishingly handsome face.
The man in front of her,
Wears an immaculate white shirt, with every button meticulously fastened to the very top, exuding an air of restraint and class.
His eyes are like a pair of exquisite, flawless phoenixes, deep and unfathomable.
One dares not look directly into them.
Even Haruna Yukawa, a princess who is used to seeing beautiful men, is slightly stunned.
Haruna Yukawa recovers.
The man before her is Viola Thompson’s good-for-nothing fiancé.
He’s River City’s infamous parasite.
How could such a waste be at such a high-class cocktail party?
