The two staff began counting the money.

After some time, one of them pronounced, “Sir, it is exactly eighty–two thousand dollars. No more, no less.”

Everyone’s mouths hung wide open at that proclamation.

“Holy sh*t! He’s filthy rich!”

“I know, right? That Shuri lady is in trouble now!”

“She thought he was just a construction worker, but it turns out he’s someone she shouldn’t have offended!”

The onlookers continued to chatter amongst themselves, waiting to see what was going to happen to Shuri.

Samantha was slightly shocked. She had not expected Adrian would be able to get so much cash with just a phone call.

Meanwhile, Shuri was so embarrassed she could not utter a single word. If possible, she would have loved to dig a hole for her to hide in.

She never expected that the man she deemed a poor miser would turn out to be so wealthy.

“Since the amount is right, does that mean this bag belongs to me now?” Adrian asked with a smile

“Yes, sir. This bag belongs to you now,” one of the staff said.

Adrian nodded and grabbed the bag before handing it to Samantha. “This bag is yours now, sweetheart. Go ahead and touch it or admire it however you please.”

Samantha trembled as she accepted the bag. She looked at Adrian and said, “Adrian, I..”

Adrian merely shot her a smile before turning to Shuri. “I’ve bought the bag now, haven’t 1, pretty lady?”

Shuri could only nad in agreement, not knowing what else she could say.

Seeing this, Adrian said, “Since I’ve bought it, this means that it no longer matters to you whether my wife drops the bag on the floor now, does it?”

Once again. Shuri nodded her head in embarrassment.

Adrian smiled again and said, “Since the bag being dropped has nothing to do with you, insulting my wife puts you in the wrong, doesn’t it?”

Without any other choice, Shuri nodded again.

“If insulting others is wrong, the person who insults should be punished, right?” NôvelDrama.Org © content.

shuri nodded her head yet once again.

However, Adrian swung a slap at her face right after she nodded.

“Aah!”

Shuri screamed and fell onto the floor in a panic. Her face was swollen by the time she got back on her feet.

The onlookers and Samantha all gasped in shock when they witnessed this, while Shuri was in tears when she looked up

Adrian looked at Shuri and laughed. “Those who look down on others have a price to pay. You may think I’m boasting, but I’m deadly serious when I tell you there’s nothing in this world you can think of that I can’t afford.”

After that, Adrian slapped Shuri in the face once more.

“Now, apologize,” Adrian said.

With a face filled with tears, Shuri looked at Samantha and cried, “I’m sorry.. I’m sorry for looking down on you! Please forgive me!”
