One of their schoolmates was sharp and immediately exclaimed. âHoly sh*t! Aston Martin? Thatâs a
luxury brand! Any one of their cars would cost millions at the very least!â
Barry was shocked and rushed over to take a look as well.
It was indeed the keys to an Aston Martin!
Barry looked back at the coupleâs clothes. He was sure that their clothes didnât cost more than a
thousand and mocked Alex once more. âYouâre a funny guy, Alex. Do you think itâs fun to bribe a valet
to
bluff in front of us?
This is probably the keys to a motorcycle, but you had someone alter it to look like
Aston Martinâs car keys, right? I remember seeing such services on Amazon, you can easily imitate any
brand!â
The valet was enraged. âBullsh*t! Do you think Iâm that easy to bribe? Mr. Rockefellerâs Aston Martin is
downstairs! Open your eyes wide and look out the window!â
One of their female schoolmates was already at the window and pressed a button from Alexâs Aston
Martin keys.
After hearing the beep, she came back to them and said, âItâs true, that is his car. He wasnât bluffing.â
She turned to Alex, shocked. âWerenât you kicked out by the Rockefellers? We heard that youâve gone
bankrupt. Was Chloe trying to ruin your reputation by spreading these rumours?â
The schoolmates that attended the wedding actually lived overseas. They left California as soon as
they
graduated, so they didnât know what had happened to Alex in recent years.
Alex shook his head. âThose werenât rumours.â
Barry bursted out in laughter. âSo itâs true! What are you bluffing about then? You probably rented this
car, right? Who are you trying to trick here, huh?â
Alex took a glance at him, he didnât want to waste any more energy explaining to him. He took
Dorothyâs
hand and whispered into her ear.
Barry started to get annoyed.
âYouâre nothing but a f*cking loser who was kicked out by your own family. How could such a beauty fall
for you?â
âIâm a goddamn boss but Iâm still single!â
Another idea popped into his head. âI heard Amandaâs husband is a manager in Yowell Group and
pretty
wealthy. But I heard that his family looked down on the poor, so they werenât all that fond of Amandaâs
family. Thatâs why I gave them a large gift, so we wonât be looked down upon by her husbandâs family.
Otherwise, theyâd say weâre just here to get free food.â
âHey Alex, since youâre driving an Aston Martin, you must be some big shot. How much did you give?
You didnât come here empty handed, right? Assex gave a gift too, or are you really just here for the
food?â
His words were extremely insulting.
Dorothy felt as if the frustration that bubbled with in her was enough to kill her hunger. âBarry Carlson!
Stop saying such nonsense! So what if you have some cash? My husband brought a gift too, you
know?
How much did you give anyway?â
Barry was arrogant. âEight thousand dollars! What about your husband? Does he even have eight
hundred dollars in his pockets?â
Dorothy had no idea how much Alex provided, hence she didnât know how to answer.
Barry started getting more cocky. âI see that youâve fallen silent. Thereâs an easy way to find out.â
He stood up and walked up to the reception. He took a picture of the name list and rushed back to the
table, laughing hysterically. âLook, itâs all here! Let me find your name⦠Alex Rockefeller, I found it.
Hah!
Oh my god, did you really give them a rusty box?â
Everyone leaned in to take a look, the words ârusty boxâ were indeed written next to Alexâs name.
A woman with dimples smiled. âAlex, how could you give them a rusty box? Is there something inside?
Is
it money?â
Alex nodded.
Barry cackled again. âIs that your piggy bank? How much cash do you have in there?â
Alex took a sip of his tea, paying no attention to Barry and closed his eyes gently.
Barry chuckled coldly. âIâll go look for it.â
In just a few moments, he found the box. The receptionists were slightly annoyed as soon as they saw
the box as well.
âWhy are you looking for a rusty box? I wanted to throw it away just now. Wait, is that
your friend? How poor is he?â
Barry pried the box open.
Just then, everyone at the reception gasped loudly.
The box was filled with bundles and bundles of hundred dollar bills.
