Chapter 16

Charlie reached out his hand to rummage through Oliver’s trouser pocket as he said and really found

the car key.

“Come on, let’s see if Oliver is driving a two-wheeled motorcycle or an electric trike…”

Charlie took out the car key and displayed it, only to be struck with disbelief upon laying eyes on it.

The car key bore an unmistakable Porsche emblem. He was momentarily stunned before he mocked

again, “Hey, is this a fancy lighter?”

He attempted to press the key, but it remained unyielding. There appeared to be no distinction between

the one in his hand and an authentic car key. While he couldn’t be certain if it was indeed the genuine

article, it certainly wasn’t a mere lighter!

Oliver grabbed the car key back and put it in his pocket. He said with a sullen face, “We are

classmates. You don’t have to ridicule me like this. I congratulate you if you want to show off your

wealth and success. I won’t stay any longer. Please

excuse me!”

Charlie was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Oliver didn’t try to prove himself, Charlie hurriedly

grabbed Oliver and shouted, “What do you mean? Don’t leave. If you don’t drink today, it means you’re

looking down on me!”

Oliver couldn’t help sneering as he thought, “So what if I look down on you? It’s not like I rely on you for

anything!”

He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly a figure came in. She reached out her hand to

pick up Oliver’s glass and said, “I’ll drink it for him!”

Everyone including Oliver was stunned.

It was the boss, Hailey, who barged in and took the glass of wine for him.

Hailey’s beauty instantly captivated the few dozen classmates. Among them, Isabel was widely

recognized as the epitome of attractiveness and held the title of the school babe in her class. Isabel

was really beautiful and sexy.

However, when compared to Hailey, who drank for Oliver, there was an evident gap in Isabel’s appeal!

When comparing beauties to less attractive women, it was natural for the former to appear more

beautiful. However, when

two beauties were compared with each other, the differences between them became evident.

Isabel had sharp eyes and could tell that Hailey’s bag was Hermes. The latter’s outfit was Prada, and

she was wearing a huge diamond ring on her right index finger.

If they were all authentic, her ensemble would be valued at over 200 thousand dollars.

Furthermore, Hailey’s appearance and demeanor were so impressive that they could outshine Isabel’s

a lot.

Charlie was jealous and angry. He asked Hailey, “Who are you? Why are you drinking for him?”

Hailey stretched out her hand to pull Oliver over, holding the glass with her right hand and hooking his

elbow with her left hand. She said in a rhetorical tone, “I’m his girlfriend. Do I have the right to drink for

him now?”

“Girlfriend?”

Everyone was surprised.

Isabel was even more surprised.

She had just dumped Oliver. He was a poor loser. She assumed it would be difficult for him to find a

female friend, let alone another girlfriend-especially one who possessed such beauty and high

standards.

No one believed it, but the reality was a beautiful woman was right in front of them and was gently

holding Oliver’s elbow, claiming that she was his girlfriend.

“Is there any other woman who will come from nowhere just to claim herself as Oliver’s girlfriend?” they

thought.

Observing the disbelieving and astonished expressions of the onlookers, Hailey cast a quick glance in

their direction before focusing her gaze on Charlie’s face. She repeated her question once more,

“Oliver is about to drive. Is it all right if I drink the wine on his behalf?”

Charlie nod his head but Isabel, who was beside him, couldn’t help but cut in, “Girls these days are so

vain. If it were someone unfamiliar, we might have overlooked it. But we know exactly what kind of

person Oliver is. Did you expect us to be shocked and envious by flaunting all these branded items?

Hermes bags, Prada outfits, Longines watches, and even a meticulously prepared Porsche car key

belonging to Oliver. Tell me, which store online did you purchase them from?”

Hailey looked at her with a smile and asked, “So you think I’m wearing counterfeit items? I’m not as

superficial as you are. If you claim they are fake, then let them be fake. I have no desire to prove

anything to you…”

Then she turned to Oliver and said, “Oliver, let’s go. Your classmates… There’s no need to keep in

contact with them. They’re not real friends.”

Charlie and Isabel also had the same thoughts, so he sneered, “Beauty, I think you’ve lost your mind,

too. There are so many

good men in the world yet you choose to be with a loser like Oliver. Did he give you all those branded

items? I promise he was lying to you, or do you want me to introduce you to a real rich man?”

“A real rich man?” Hailey suddenly showed interest and asked Charlie with a smile, “I think you are like

a real rich man. How about… Can you introduce yourself to me?”

Charlie was immediately delighted. He showed himself off proudly regardless of Isabel being next to

him. “My name is Charlie Quinn. I’m the high school classmate of your pretending-to-be-rich boyfriend,

Oliver. My father, David, works in engineering. Our family is involved in interior decoration projects for

the largest company Manstar Property Group in this city. I’ve always been sincere and generous. Shall

we exchange telephone numbers?”

Isabel’s face darkened as Charlie asked for Hailey’s telephone number.

“Manstar Property Group?” Hailey repeated it and suddenly felt interested. She put the glass on the

table, took out her phone, and dialed a number.

“Xavier, I was bullied. What should we do?”

“Will you be bullied? You’d better not bully others!”

Hailey observed Charlie’s smug expression and responded calmly, “Xavier, I happened to have a meal

at the Great Fortune Restaurant, where I had an interesting encounter with a man named Charlie

Quinn. He advised me that if I wanted to find a boyfriend, I should pursue a wealthy man like himself.

He also suggested that I avoid wearing counterfeit items. By the way, he mentioned that his father,

David, is involved in interior engineering for your Manstar Property Group. Are you familiar with him?”

“David? Yes, there is indeed an individual by that name who has taken on a few interior projects for

Manstar Property Group. The scale of the projects is not substantial, totaling only a few million dollars

per year. Why? Did his son mistreat you? All right, since David’s workload is relatively small, I will

promptly put a stop to it!”

Hailey hung up the phone and said to Charlie, “Okay. Thank you, Xavier, for helping me release my

frustration!”

Seeing Hailey make this call, Charlie couldn’t help but laugh, “Beauty, you are absolutely stunning. But

why do you insist on impersonating Oliver? How can you handle negotiations with the senior

management of Manstar Property Group? Do you think it’s as simple as grocery shopping? Can

contract terms be easily severed as you suggested on the phone? Ha-ha, Oliver…”

After Hailey came in, the door of this private room was open. A middle-aged man who had passed by

glanced at Hailey and was stunned when he saw her. Then he came in and asked her, “Hailey, why are

you here? Are they your friends?”

Seeing this middle-aged man, Charlie was also stunned. Charlie hurriedly greeted the man respectfully,

“Mr. Walker!”

Charlie recognized the man as Jared Walker, the deputy CEO of Manstar Property Group and a

shareholder of Great Fortune Restaurant. This explained why Charlie and David would frequently bring

their guests here, hoping to establish connections with Jared.

“Charlie.” Jared nodded, but he still looked at Hailey.

Hailey shook her head lightly and replied, “I don’t deserve friends like that. Earlier, this gentleman here

claimed that I was wearing fake items and suggested I should find someone as wealthy as him. He

mentioned his father’s name is David. Mr. Walker, are you familiar with him?”

Jared was dumbfounded. He glanced at Charlie and nodded to Hailey. “Yes, but we’re just

acquaintances. He has business contact with Manstar Property Group.
