“Pfft! Little girl, you’ve been fooled.” Gerald burst into laughter.

“I know his financial state.

“He’s the Murphy family’s loser son-in-law!

“He works like a maid at home!

“His wife doesn’t allow him to touch her!

“His monthly salary is a mere three thousand!

“He buys cheap off-the-rack clothes!

“Do you seriously think someone like him can afford a Ferrari worth 9.6 million ?”

Gerald said jokingly as he looked at Clarence, “Clarence, you gotta choose your battleground wisely, even if you wanna pretend. Do you know what kind of place this is? It’s the biggest luxury car dealership in Mediterranean City. Aren’t you afraid of getting kicked out?”

Clarence said lightly, “Can’t a matrilocal son-in-law afford a Ferrari?”

Gerald said playfully, “Some matrilocal sons-in-law might be able to, but not you.”

“What if I can?” asked Clarence.

“Okay! Pay up first. We’ll give you the contract afterward.” Cynthia sneered and looked at Clarence.

Jane was surprised and said, “Cynthia, isn’t it customary to sign the contract before paying?”

“Shut up!” snapped Cynthia.

“What do you know? That rule where the contract is signed before payment applies to other customers, but for some people who pretend to be rich when they actually have no money, it’s better to make them pay up first.”

With that said, Cynthia snatched the contract from Jane’s hand.

“Pay up!” Cynthia was haughty and spoke in a condescending tone as she looked at Clarence.

Jane looked at Clarence. “Mr. Howard, why don’t you… pay first?”

Clarence frowned. He did not have any money on him now.

“What’s the matter? Clarence, do you have no money? If you really want to buy a car, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to pay first, right?” Gerald smiled as if he had seen through Clarence.

“Just wait a little longer.” Clarence shook his head.

“You have no money. What’s there to wait for?” Cynthia glared at Clarence.

She tore up Clarence’s contract in front of everyone and shoved it into the shredder.

“Jane, be more alert in the future. Why bring contracts for people who can’t afford cars? Don’t you know that paper costs money too?

“This paper costs a dollar per piece. A contract has more than 30 pages, so that’s more than 30 dollars! I’ll deduct it from your salary this month.” Cynthia looked vicious.

Jane was aggrieved.

More than 30 dollars… she had worked half a day for nothing.

Just then…

Cecilia hurried over and noticed the weird atmosphere. “What’s wrong?”

“Hehe.” Cynthia sneered, but did not answer.

Cecilia frowned. “Lil Bro, did you pick out a car like I asked you to?”

“Yes, but someone tore up the contract.” Clarence shrugged.

“Someone tore up the contract? What happened?” Cecilia’s pretty face darkened.

Clarence explained what had just taken place.

“What’s wrong with your car dealership? This customer wants to buy a car, yet you asked him to pay first, and then even tore up the contract?” Cecilia looked mad.

Cynthia shook her head in amusement. “Do you think he can actually afford it?”

“I’ll pay, okay? Get your manager here!” Cecilia’s face was grim.

“Sorry, the manager has no time. You can just talk to me.” Cynthia looked haughty.

“Ah, so he’s a boy toy now! Nice, Clarence. I can’t believe you found yourself a rich lady while being a loser son-in-law.

“I envy you! You can make money just by lying down!” Gerald understood everything now. It turned out Clarence was choosing a car, and Cecilia would be paying for it.

Lily laughed along. “Gerald, what’s there to envy? You’re making ten million a year as a manager for the Wonder Group. Can Clarence make more than ten million as a boy toy?”

“Wonder Group? How come I don’t know any managers from the Wonder Group who make over ten million annually?” Cecilia frowned.

Lily said proudly, “Tsk! What do you know, you hillbilly? Of course you can’t make more than ten million on your salary alone, but you can get some extra money from kickbacks.

“Coupled with some social engagements and bonus payment from clients, isn’t it easy to make more than ten million a year?”

Cecilia frowned. “What’s your boyfriend’s name?”

“Gerald Lambert. What’s the matter? You wanna go to Wonder Group and check if he really works there?” Lily had a proud look on her face.

“Stop talking.” Gerald nudged Lily.

Gerald recognized the suit Cecilia was wearing. It was top-of-the-line Chanel, worth millions.

‘What if Cecilia knows someone high up in Wonder Group? Will she blow my cover?’

There was an old saying that trouble issues from the mouth.

“Oh? Gerald Lambert…”

Cecilia nodded, took out her phone, and made a call. “Hello? Check right now if there’s a Gerald Lambert in the company.

“Yes. By the way, check his salary and financial transactions too. I suspect he’s taking kickbacks from clients. Whether that’s true or not, fire him right now!

“We’ll decide whether to pursue legal action after seeing the results!”

Cecilia was swift and decisive, hanging up after saying just a few words.

“Yo, you’re really taking this too far.” Lily looked disdainful.

‘Do you know who my boyfriend is? Even in Wonder Group, he’s in middle management. Is one word from Cecilia seriously enough to fire him?’

However, Gerald had a bad feeling about this.

Just then.

Gerald’s phone rang.

“Hello?

“What? What did you just say, Sir? I’m fired?!” Gerald’s voice was as shrill as a cat with a trampled tail.
