Chapter 5 Overnight-millionaire temperament

Cindy had no idea that she was about to be doomed. After turning off her phone, she began to think how to get out tonight.

There were so many guests outside. She could not walk through the front door. The window was too high to jump out, unless she wanted to break her legs.

As she was struggling, Joyce's voice was sounded outside the door.

'Send the costume to her.'

Cindy, wondering why Joyce appeared so kind to her, looked up and saw the costume - a huge marten coat, brought by the maid. Now it's June - the height of summer. Everyone would consider her as a completely idiot if she wears this.

She glanced at Joyce and found that she smiled slightly and looked very complacent.

'Do you have any other choice? Cindy, stop being so shameless. This marten coat is more expensive than your cheap status.'

Cindy curled her lips and put the coat on. She wore pajamas inside which made it hotter. Her nose was brimming over with sweats. Joyce was amused at this.

Plainly, this kind of coat is not fit for young girls. It seemed so thick on Cindy and smelled of the temperament of an overnight millionaire. Joyce wanted Cindy to be a foil of her daughter tonight.

Mary stood behind Joyce out of nowhere. She tittered like a swan who just won a fight.

'Ok. It's time to leave. The two of you, walk with me.'

Joyce just couldn't wait to watch Cindy being humiliated.

'Sister, is this the most expensive clothes you ever wear?'

Mary approached and asked. Cindy kept silent. It's true that this is the most expensive clothes she ever wears.

Joyce, seeing clearly of their little fight, didn't bother to stop them. After all, her daughter never took a beating from Cindy.

When the three of them came downstairs, there's a beam of light shooting at them. All the guests, seeing the marten coat on Cindy's body, rolled their eyes.

They thought that this daughter of the ex-wife is just like before, in the grip of the overnight-millionaire temperament. She's just so hopeless. Joyce is so generous to accept her. Mrs. Smith is open-minded.

Joyce got a glimpse of sneer from the people around and smiled slightly. She held the hands of Mary and Cindy and found every chance to talk with other noblewomen.

Smith Family, with a high status in city G, is barely able to enter the upper class. However, Smith Family is not so impressive among those prestigious families.

Everyone admits that the most mysterious and powerful family in city G is Brook Family. Brook Family, possessing powerful resources, dominates in the commercial circles, which is the well-deserved prestigious family in city G.

However, over these years, everyone is scared, when it comes to Leo. He is heartless and cruel, violent and ruthless. Hardly no one could challenge him in person. Besides, this guy has kind of influence abroad. Nobody knows exactly what kind of overseas business he engages in.

Due to his evil reputation of violence, the old Mrs. Brook had no idea but declared that Brook Family would make a deal of 1 billion with any family who marries their daughter to Leo. Then four women were sent to Brook Family, but they all disappeared without a trace.

The prestigious families in city G value most the solid resources possessed by Brook Family, instead of 1 billion. As long as they could do business with Brook Family, it's not just money that gonna be involved. In fact, they wanted to take advantage of the name of Brook Family and promoted their status.

City G is a vanity fair. The fights among the rich and powerful families are inevitable.

'This daughter of the ex-wife wears like an overnight millionaire. It is not a surprise that Johnson dislikes her.'

'How can she match Smith Family! She's not elegant at all. Mrs. Smith is so kind to raise her to be so delicate and marshy. The marten coat she wears must be expensive - at least 3 million.'

There were whispers among those guests. They didn't bother to lower their voices, so Cindy heard everything.

She looked down the marten coat on her. 3 million? Not worth a shit!!

Suddenly, with some excitement on her face, she wrapped up the marten coat. 3 million, if she sells this coat, then she won't need to worry about the costume anymore.

However, such behavior made others looked down on her even more.

Joyce's face was full of detesting. What a loser! It's such a disaster that she's in Smith Family.

'Joyce, will this marten coat be presented to me? '

Cindy asked in front of everyone because she's afraid that Joyce would take it back after.

She's not being suspicious. How can Joyce give her something worth 3 million?

Over these years, Smith Family take all possible means to tame her and never gave her any pocket money. Thereby, she hadn't owned any huge sum of money.
