“Dear, what’s wrong?” Clarence looked at Miranda in surprise.

Miranda snarled, “What’s wrong?! You’re doing something so disgusting, and I’m not allowed to be grossed out? Be her new brother? What the f*ck kind of deal are you guys making under the table?

“Clarence, this can’t go on any longer. Let’s get a divorce immediately!”

Clarence quickly explained, “Dear, that’s not true. Cecilia and I…”

“Cecilia this! Cecilia that! Cecilia, Cecilia, Cecilia! Look at how affectionately you say her stupid name.” Miranda was bursting with jealousy.

She did not like Clarence, but she could not stand her husband being so close to another woman.

“You’re not allowed to see her from now on.”

“Give her the Ferrari back, and we’ll get a divorce immediately if I find out you’re still in touch with her after today.”

With that said, Miranda turned around, hailed a taxi, and left by herself.

Clarence was left standing awkwardly, passers-by pointing at him.

While Clarence felt helpless, he was a little pleased. Judging by her behavior, Miranda actually cared about him, at least a little.

If Clarence had had anything to do with another woman back then, old Miranda would not have cared a single bit.

Clarence glanced back at the Ferrari a little reluctantly.

He really liked this Ferrari!

What man would not like a car?

However, Clarence had to give it up for Miranda’s sake.

Clarence called Cecilia. “Cecilia, I don’t want the Ferrari that you bought me anymore. I’ll send you the keys by courier. The car’s parked downstairs, under the Thousand Birds Building. Find someone to drive it away and bring it back to you.”

“Huh? Lil Bro, why…” Cecilia had just started to speak.

Clarence hung up the call.

Then he blocked Cecilia’s number, hailed a taxi, and headed for Miranda’s parents’ house.

He would be scolded again if he were to arrive late.

By the time Clarence arrived at Armstrong and Peony’s house, the family was already eating.

There were a few others there besides the main Murphy family.

Clarence knew all of them. They were related to Peony’s sister, Chantelle Wanda. Including Armstrong’s eldest daughter, eldest son-in-law, second daughter, and second son-in-law, a dozen people occupied the table.

There was no room at the table when Clarence arrived.

Everyone watched in amusement as Clarence walked in.

“What took you so long?” Armstrong put down his spoon and knife.

“Dad, there was a traffic jam. I…” Clarence was just about to explain.

“That’s enough. You always have an excuse. I just heard from Miranda that you accepted a Ferrari from someone?” Armstrong was impatient and looked at Clarence coldly. “Do you think you’re losing out by being the Murphy family’s son-in-law? Are you already looking for someone else to bankroll you?”

“Clarence, do you know who Cecilia is? She’s the daughter of the Wonder Group’s president—and do you know who owns Wonder Group? Mr. Richard Shelby!” Kaysen looked at Clarence, chuckling.

Clarence was a little surprised. ‘Cecilia is Richard’s daughter?’

‘Why didn’t I realize earlier?’

Belle looked at Clarence playfully. “Clarence, you don’t really think you can leave the Murphy family by just hooking up with the daughter of the Wonder Group’s president, do you?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

George shook his head. “Who knows? There’s no knowing what’s in a man’s heart. He was born an orphan, the Murphy family kindly gave him food and drink, and now he’s turning his back on us.”

Kaysen’s wife Melody sneered too. “Kaysen nailed a two billion Sunshine District deal, but he still drives a million-dollar Mercedes, and you’re driving a Ferrari worth ten million?”

“Three thousand dollars a month with a Ferrari? Can you even afford the petrol?”

“Didn’t I get Kaysen’s deal?” Clarence was a little surprised by the onslaught.

“You still think that? That deal was Kaysen’s, you just intercepted it halfway.” Melody looked coldly at Clarence. “Are you trying to get an affair going, by accepting her Ferrari?”

“I’m not,” defended Clarence.

“You’re not? Why would she give you a Ferrari if you’re not having an affair with her?” Melody laughed coldly.

“It’s because I saved Cecilia’s life.”

“She gave you a Ferrari just because of that? Why haven’t I ever run into such a lucky coincidence?” Melody was still unwilling to accept the situation.

Kaysen said with a smile, “Forget it, Dear. We can’t convince him of anything if he keeps pretending he’s blind to reality. He knows what’s really going on, but he doesn’t want to admit it. We can see through him, but pointing it out is no use.”

“You’re right.” Melody nodded.

Miranda sat there with a cold look on her face, not even trying to defend her husband.

Clarence was upset.

“Miranda, be careful. He might be looking for another one.” Chantelle had a peculiar look on her face.

“Mom, forget it, let’s not talk about him. Kaysen, you just said you wanted a loan from my company. Let’s continue with that topic,” Chantelle’s son, Tony Zachary, changed the topic.

Chantelle was very interested. “Yes, yes. Let’s talk about the loan. Will it be a huge loan for a two billion deal?”

“Yes, Aunt Chantelle. It’ll take about 500 million to get started and 500 million more for two years. I’ll need Tony’s help too,” Kaysen said with a smile.

Kaysen and Melody were treating Tony and the rest to dinner today.

Kaysen had been blacklisted by the banking system, so he could not borrow from banks and could only loan from the private sector.

500 million was mere pocket change for where Tony worked, at the Mediterranean City’s largest financial company.

Chantelle looked proud. “That’s no problem! My son works for the largest financial company in Mediterranean City. With his position, it won’t take long to settle a 500 million loan! However, about the kickback…”

“Mom, we have an outsider here,” Tony exclaimed after a quick glance at Clarence.

Clarence was just an outsider to them.
