Translator: 549690339
Is one million dollars a lot? Of course it is! For many people, they may never actually see one million in their lifetimes, even though the total money they earn might surpass that number, but for some others, one million is really not a big deal.
Flame Nation has a lot of wealthy people. Over the past few days, Kay Lee has come to deeply understand this reality; it was outrageous, especially those middle-aged women, they could be described as crazed without exaggeration. Kay Lee didn’t even know how these women got her phone number, and when they called, they started by politely addressing her as Miss Lee, and not long after, they would start to consider her as their own little sister.
“Argh! I’m going crazy!” Kay Lee fell back onto the bed and voiced her inner turmoil.
“Hehe, um, Kay Lee, you see… I’m out of money.” Sarah Wood approached the bed, quickly massaging Kay Lee’s leg with a grin.
Kay Lee rolled her eyes: “What?!”
“Um… did you ask Finn Lewis to send a pound of tea to your house, I can’t afford it! One million per teapot! He’s even more conniving than an African!” Sarah Wood exclaimed dramatically.
Kay Lee rolled her eyes again, “I’m saying, do you want to be more shameless? Who was it that said yesterday that Finn Lewis was selling too cheap? Have you changed your tune today?”
“Well… can you blame me? Look at those women, aren’t they crazy?! Besides, his selling price might be a bit cheap for others, but for me, your best friend, isn’t his price too high! After all, I’m your best friend, right?! Shouldn’t there be some kind of internal discount?!” Sarah Wood quickly asked.
Kay Lee was left speechless. Truth be told, Sarah Wood was shocked by what happened in the store yesterday. Recently, Kay Lee had to go to the store every day as there were people who needed her to help process Purple Crystal Cards. Sarah Wood naturally tagged along every day too. However, yesterday, Sarah Wood saw a woman in her fifties at the store.
This woman was the wife of a top-tier tycoon, one of the first group of people Finn Lewis invited. Back when he first invited the woman who was approaching her fifties, she didn’t seem that impressive.
However, after drinking Cloud Mist Tea for several days in a row, magic happened and she literally experienced a return to youth! The woman was never very fat to begin with and her skin was already well-maintained, but then again, she was almost 50 years old, with some wrinkles and age spots on her face, needing countless layers of makeup whenever she went out. But after drinking the Cloud Mist Tea for a few days, not only did her skin become incredibly firm and fair, but her age spots also vanished.
She looked as if she had become twenty years younger. It must be said, to be the wife of such elite tycoons, their looks certainly wouldn’t have been bad in their youth. Now, with her youthful return, her mature femininity simply outshone everyone. Even Kay Lee, with her pure and young beauty, was overshadowed.
Then Sarah Wood was affected. This is a woman about to turn fifty? Damn it!
And without doubt, this woman was the biggest walking advertisement for Moon of West Lake. What kind of social circle would the wife of a rich man belong to? Of course, it would be wives of equally wealthy men.
At their age, what can they show off? Wealth? Forget it, everyone has roughly the same amount of money. Their children? There’s nothing impressive about that. But this newfound youthful beauty was something no one else could compete with! After this woman had shown herself off in her social circles for a few days, her friends sought her at Moon of West Lake, and nearly chewed up
Kay Lee when they found her.
That was pure madness!
“Ring ring ring” Kay Lee’s phone rang again, Kay Lee could not help but groan, patting herself on the forehead: “Here they come again.”
Even so, she was both in pain and joy as she picked up her phone, but when Kay Lee saw the caller ID, she immediately jumped out of the bed. Sarah Wood, who was sitting next to Kay Lee, was startled, “What’s wrong?
“It’s a call from Finn Lewis.” Kay Lee jumped up from the bed and ran towards the living room while answering the call.
“What are you doing?” Hearing Kay Lee pick up the call, Finn Lewis immediately asked with a laugh.
“I’m at home.” Kay Lee replied with a smile, “What about you? Have you returned from Fragrant River?”
“I’m back, just left the airport, hence I am calling you. Have you been busy these days?” Finn Lewis, staring out the window at the receding airport, responded with a smile.
“Yes, but I’m also quite happy. It’s much better than being idle before.” Kay Lee replied cheerfully.
“That’s good. I’ll be there soon, let’s have dinner together at Moon of West Lake, it just happens that I haven’t eaten yet. I’m on my way now, and I will pick you up later.” Finn Lewis replied.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you at home.” Kay Lee nodded and confirmed.
After hanging up, Finn Lewis turned to Fishy Wells, who was in the driver’s seat, saying, “Head over to Kay Lee’s place, I’ve told you the address before. Besides, you go home first and bring Olivia here.”
The car that Finn Lewis is currently riding in isn’t Olivia. Olivia is parked at home. Although Olivia has autopilot, and the autopilot is much superior compared to human driving, there’s nobody at home. All five of Fishy Wells, Ruby Frank, Davis, Chloe Flowerfield, and Zoe are accompanying Finn Lewis. It wouldn’t be appropriate to let Olivia drive itself out.
If that happens, passersby might get scared and wet their pants. Olivia might even get detained by the traffic police officers. So, the car Finn Lewis is currently inside is one of the vehicles prepared by Fishy Wells. Finn is riding in a luxury configuration of Ice Horse Fashion costing close to 10 million. The two cars front and back are Flying Horse S600, the same cars that Zoe Flowerfield was forced to compensate for.
Upon receiving Finn’s command, Fishy Wells immediately altered their direction and headed towards Kay Lee’s house. Fishy Wells and the others were well aware of who Kay Lee was. Although Fishy Wells may not harbor any such thoughts, Ruby Frank and the others do have their little plans, but of course, they dare not say much.
After changing the direction, Fishy Wells called Ruby Frank and others, telling them to head home first and then drove Finn Lewis to Kay Lee’s house.
Whilst driving, Fishy Wells looked at Finn Lewis in the rear-view mirror. Why Finn Lewis went to Fragrant River was something Fishy Wells was very much aware of – he went to buy a gift for Kay Lee.
“Why are you looking at me? Focus on driving, they’re repairing the overpass up ahead, be careful.” Finn Lewis chided with amusement.
“Oh.” Fishy Wells immediately returned her focus to driving. As the overpass was under renovation, traffic was slower. Fishy Wells also drove at a slower pace. Finn Lewis shook his head helplessly, and then buried himself in his phone. There were some documents sent over by Olivia, regarding follow up cooperation with the T Company, as well as other matters, and also some documents that Finn needed to go over.
Just as Finn Lewis was engrossed in reading, suddenly there was a loud “bang” that startled him. He jumped in his seat, while Fishy Wells, after being momentarily stunned, let out a sharp scream and subconsciously stepped on the accelerator. With that, there was another “boom”, as if the car had hit something, causing it to violently jolt before coming to a halt..
