Veronica held onto the arm of the man beside her, her face full of affection as she said, “This is myboyfriend, Soren Stone. We met in the first-class cabin on a plane. We share the same interests andhobbies, like enjoying afternoon tea at the Bulgari Hotel and shopping at the same luxury stores.”
Immediately, Veronica’s gaze turned to Alex. Although he was quite good-looking, he was dressed incheap clothes from head to toe, not to mention he was not even wearing a watch. At first glance, heseemed like a penniless pretty boy.
“Not bad. You two seem like a great match. I wish you everlasting love and that you’ll live happily everafter.” Jessica said perfunctorily.
Ever since they were young, Veronica never liked playing with Jessica and always seemed to beagainst the latter. Jessica knew it all too well. Even as they grew older, Veronica still enjoyed puttingher down at every opportunity.

“I started a small company, and it’s going pretty well so far,” Alex uttered casually.novelbin
Veronica suddenly covered her mouth and laughed. With a snort, she said, “Is there no threshold forstarting a company these days? Everyone has the guts to call themselves a boss these days. I bet thisshabby-looking doll in Jessica’s arms is a gift from you, right? I can’t believe you’d even give hersomething like this.”
At that moment, Veronica’s boyfriend, Soren, straightened himself with a smug look on his face andsaid, “Exactly! How could a man give his girlfriend such a cheap gift? At the very least, he should giveher something like a designer handbag, right? Only then would it be presentable.”
Sensing her opportunity, Veronica proudly showed off the designer bag she was carrying in front ofAlex and Jessica. “This bag was a gift from my boyfriend, and it’s worth twenty to thirty thousand!”
“He’s really good to you, and you two are such a great match,” Jessica praised reluctantly, though shepreferred the Barbie doll in her hand compared to designer handbags.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going then. Alex and I have other matters to attend to. Let’s chat nexttime when we get the chance. Goodbye!” Jessica, cager to leave, pulled on Alex’s arm. It was torturouslistening. to others show off.
Just then, Soren grabbed Alex’s other hand and said amicably. “Why are you guys in such a hurry toleave? I feel like I get along quite well with this young man. Besides, I have a wide network ofacquaintances, and since you run a company, maybe I can even help you secure some big clients.”
