Chapter 143 One Hundred Percent Intimacy
Scarlett initially wanted to blame Kevin, but upon seeing the interior of the car, she too became momentarily rooted to the spot in awe.
Indeed, this Mercedes was a killer of the feminine heart. Not a single woman present could hide their envy, including Clara, who gazed on with full-faced longing.
"Kevin, you're incredible; I've never seen such a luxurious car. Mercedes must be very expensive, right?" Hannah approached Kevin timidly, her eyes filled with admiration as she spoke, "Kevin, I'd like to learn how to write books from you when you're free. I want to be as successful as you."
"Of course you can, Hannah, but you must make sure it doesn't interfere with your studies. You should prioritize learning right now. Making money is not something you should worry about at your age. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me, and I'll solve them for you," Kevin responded with a smile, patting Hannah's head gently.
"Kevin, I've decided not to hold previous misunderstandings against you. I've decided to follow in your footsteps and write novels, too; you won't reject me as your disciple, will you?" Lily also shamelessly approached Kevin and greeted him with a smile.

Seeing Lily's intimacy level shift from disdain to friendliness, Kevin inwardly sneered.
This group of people was so opportunistic. They changed their attitudes so fast. Truly, they were the same.
"Why would I mind? It's perfectly normal for you to have doubts, considering the ebook industry is still emerging. Your skepticism is certainly understandable, Lily. You're very talented, and if you learn from me, you're bound to surpass me one day," replied Kevin with an amiable nod and understanding smile.

"Really? That's great! Kevin, then you are my teacher now!" Lily's attitude towards Kevin had changed drastically.
Previously she was dismissive, but now she was eagerly flattering and approaching Kevin with no hint of embarrassment.
‘This woman is indeed practical,’ Kevin thought to himself, shaking his head. He already had an idea of how to handle someone like Lily. With her, Kevin wasn't concerned about her being materialistic and vain or loving money. It was the cold and indifferent women, not tempted by money, who were the challenge.
It was clear that Lily was a very practical woman, or she wouldn't have been involved with a good-for-nothing scion like Cody, whose only redeeming feature was his family's wealth. Kevin could tell that Lily was short of money and loved it deeply.
"Sofia, are you planning to monopolize mom's car? Step aside and let mom experience her new car," Kevin jested with Sofia, who was soaking up the premium sound system. He then added with a laugh, "You don't need to envy mom. Once you graduate, I'll buy you an even better one."
"Seriously? Kevin! You can't lie to me! Really, will you buy me one? I don't want any other car; I just want one like this," Sofia exclaimed in excitement, almost jumping into Kevin's arms, who naturally stepped back, avoiding her impulsive embrace, and gently patted her shoulder. "When have I ever lied to family?"
"Sofia, stop it! Kevin is not your husband. It's right for your brother-in-law to buy a car for your sister, not you. Naughty girl, step aside; let Mom try out her new car!"
Lillian, beaming with satisfaction and excitement, pushed aside Sofia, her plump and pert derriere carefully settling into the car seat.
Although Lillian had her driver's license for some time, she rarely drove.
Touching the smooth wooden steering wheel and the high-tech dashboard, Lillian, who had always coveted a Mercedes, was utterly enraptured, her eyes brimming with excited tears.
At that moment, Lillian was overwhelmed with a profound sense of happiness and pride.
After all these years, Lillian felt she had never been so pampered and so honored! Kevin had given her everything she ever wanted.
Now, looking at Kevin, who seemed to Lillian to be the Prince Charming she had dreamt of since girlhood, she felt as if she had seen her destined prince arriving on a cloud of many colors.
Kevin's romantic gesture reminded Lillian of her youthful aspirations. At that moment, she was intoxicated, as if she had entered a dream and returned to her vibrant twenties.
"Kevin, you can't back out; I'm waiting for you to buy me one, too," Sofia coquettishly whispered in Kevin's ear, her voice shy and low.

[ Sofia's Intimacy Level: +2 (97% Intimate)]
Kevin glanced at Sofia's intimacy level with himself, and his spirits lifted imperceptibly. He was only 3% away from reaching a level of infatuation with Sofia, his captivating younger sister-in-law. Now, he was so close to breaking through that last 3%.
