Eric and Aurora satfollowed suit, sitting down together.

As Michael sawwatched Eric sitting with Aurora, he couldn't help but turna pang of envy turned his face a sickly green with envy.

take that coveted spot. If it were someone else, he would have...

Aurora couldn't help but laugh when she heard Michael's remark. She knew very well that Eric was the chairman of the New York branch of the Power Group!

"""Who could he be? Just a poor man,""," Michael saidscoffed disdainfully.

At that momentJust then, a waiter approached them with a smile. """What would you like to order?"" the waiter?" he asked.

"""You order,""," Michael said with a smirk, looking at Eric. He was certain that someone like Eric, a poor man, had never been to such a fancy restaurant before. He believed Eric wouldn't know what to order, and he intended to embarrass him.

"""A 1982 Lafite, Kaluga caviar, and three medium-rare fillet mignon,""," Eric calmly replied.

calmly.Eric used to be, once poor and had never tasted caviar, but heunfamiliar with such luxuries, had read about this combination in novels before.

. The waiter was instantly surprisedtaken aback by Eric's request., and Michael's face turned even more unpleasant. Michael didn't expect thatdarkened further. He hadn't expected Eric could easilyto order the most expensive and sophisticated dishes.

"" with such ease."Do you know how expensive these are?""?" Michael gritted his teeth.

Michael was well aware that he was the one who invited Eric, so he should be the one paying.

"""Of course, I know. But you won't tell me that you can't afford it, right? If you can't, it's okay, I can pay for you,""," Eric said with a smile.

Michael's facial muscles twitched, and his face turned pale.

"", his facial muscles twitching."How could I not afford it! Please just submit the order!""!" Michael said through clenched teeth.

Although Michael felt a pang in his heart, as thisthe cost of the meal would cost him was equivalent to half of a Porsche Cayenne, heMichael had to maintain his dignity in front of Aurora. He had no choice but to tough it out.

Michael's initial intention in letting Eric order was to play a joke on him. He never expected that he would end up embarrassing himself. Aurora couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she saw Michael's pained expression.

Eric gave a cold smile. This was what he called getting what you deserve. Michael, however, clenched his teeth and became even more determined to humiliate Eric.

After the waiter left, Michael mocked, ""“Do you know how much your order cost? Hundreds of thousands, and I can afford it!""

!”He continued sarcastically, ""“And you? You definitely can't come up with that much money. In the future, when you go out to eat with Aurora, you won't even be able to afford a single meal! Can you-

"""Still want Aurora to pay? You can't give Aurora happiness at all!""

!” Immediately, Michael took out his Porsche Cayenne car key.

""“Do you know what kind of car this is? It's a Porsche Cayenne! Costs over a million! What about you? Riding a bicycle? Will you ride your bicycle with Aurora in the future?""?” Michael said arrogantly said.

.Seeing Michael's show-off of his wealth and his fancy car, Aurora covered her mouth and couldn't stop giggling.

Eric also laughed and said, ""“Is a car worth over a million really expensive?""

""?”“Of course! A poor person like you couldn't possibly have seen so much money in your entire life, let alone afford such a nice car!""!” Michael boasted proudly.“That's not necessarily true,” Eric said with a mischievous smile.

""That's not necessarily true,"" Eric said with a mischievous smile.

Then, Eric pulled out a bunchEric casually retrieved a cluster of car keys from his pocket.

""I think my car should be much more expensive than your piece of junk,"" Eric said as he placed the Lamborghini car key on the table.

""...Lamborghini!""

Upon seeing the Lamborghini car keys, Michael's smile abruptly disappeared, and he shuddered in shock.

Michael never dreamt that Eric would suddenly produce a bunch of Lamborghini car keys.

""You...Are these knock-offs you bought to show off?"" Michael gritted his teeth, unwilling to "My vehicle, I believe that Eric could afford a Lamborghini.

""Whether it's real or fake, you can verify it yourself,"" Eric said with a smile.

Michael immediately grabbed the Lamborghini car keys from the table and inspected them.

It's easy to distinguish between cheap car keys and genuine car keys, especially for luxury cars like this, where the key manufacturing cost , is high and there is significantly more valuable than your pitiful heap of metal," he declared, placing a Lamborghini key onto the table with a flourish. "Lamborghini!" The sight of the Lamborghini keys caused Michael's smile to vanish abruptly, replaced by a shudder of shock. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined Eric producing a set of keys to such a luxurious vehicle. "Are these counterfeit keys you've purchased for the sake of flaunting?" Michael ground out through clenched teeth, refusing to accept that Eric could afford such an extravagant car. "Real or fake, the verification is yours to make," Eric replied, a smirk playing on his lips. Without hesitation, Michael snatched the Lamborghini keys from the table, scrutinizing them closely. Distinguishing between cheaply made keys and genuine ones was a simple task, especially when it came to luxury vehicles. The manufacturing cost of such keys was high, resulting in a noticeable difference in quality.

As long as someone has Anyone who had seen a real Lamborghini car key, it's easy to tell the could easily identify a fake ones apart.

"".... "These are actually genuine Lamborghini keys!""

After Michael's examination, his face turned pale instantly.

He discovered that not only were these real Lamborghini car keys, but they were also for !" The realization hit Michael like a punch to the gut, draining the color from his face. Not only were the keys authentic, but they were for a Lamborghini Aventador, which costs $500,000 in its a car with a base price!

""How about that? of half a million dollars! "Surprised? My car should easily outshineoutclasses your junky car,""sorry excuse for a vehicle," Eric said with ataunted, his smile.

""... widening. "How... How do you haveown a Lamborghini? Who are you? Who are you, really?""?" Michael's expression turned gloomy.

darkened, his mind racing. At that moment, Aurora, who washad been standing beside them, smiled and said, ""quietly by their side, chimed in with a smile, "Michael, I wantedmeant to tell you earlier. My boyfriend's nameboyfriend, Eric, is Eric, and he is the newnewly appointed CEO of the Power Group's New York branch of the Power Group!""

." Michael couldn't help but gulp down his saliva. He realized that this position was much more powerful than his father, let alone him just being a second-generation rich kid.

Aurora continued, ""Byswallowed hard, the way, he implications of Aurora's words sinking in. The position Eric held was far more influential than his father's, let alone his own as a mere heir to wealth. Aurora continued, her voice steady, "He also has another identity. He isHe's the grandson of Chicago's wealthiest man, Sean.""

""What?... , the wealthiest man in Chicago." "Sean Williams' grandson!?"" Michael!?" Michael's eyes widened his eyesin shock, his voice trailing off.

Michael'sbarely a whisper. His expression became unusually sharp and filled with sharpened, a hint of panic. Although creeping into his eyes. While both Michaelhe and Eric belonged tohailed from wealthy families, Michael was merelysimply the son of a local companybusiness owner, and the gap. The chasm between being someone's grandsontheir statuses, especially with Eric being the grandson of the richest personman, was vast and seemingly insurmountable.

"" "If you don't believe doubt my identity, you can checkfeel free to verify it yourself,""," Eric said , crossing his arms nonchalantly, his arms crossed.

. This time, Michael did not doubtdidn't question him, his mouth dry from swallowing.. The mere fact that Eric could afford a Lamborghini was proof enough to proveof his impressivehigh status, and Michaelhe knew Aurora wouldn't lie.

Realizing The realization that he had just boasted aboutflaunted his wealth to the richest person's son, Michael felt a wave of embarrassment and wished he could find a hole to hide in.

At that moment, Eric embraced Aurora and, in a commanding tone, said to Michael, ""Michael, let me tell you solemnly, Aurora is mine, You have no right to touch her! Stay away from Aurora from now on, understand?"""
Chapter 053 Take photos"Though Eric's voice was not loud, it carried an unquestionable dominance. As Eric held Aurora in his arms, she trembled and blushed immediately. No man had embraced her like this before. Despite that, she did not resist but instead let Eric hold her. She knew he was doing this to make the act more convincing.

Watching the woman he longed for being held by someone else, Michael felt jealous. It was something he had always dreamed of, yet he couldn't do anything about it.

""Did you understand what I just said? Answer me!"" Eric continued to question Michael coldly.

""I...I understand, Mr. Phillips,"" Michael nodded through gritted teeth.

After all, Eric was much more powerful than him. Would he dare to compete with the grandson of the richest man for a woman? Absolutely not.filled Michael with embarrassment. He wished he could disappear into thin air. At that moment, Eric wrapped an arm around Aurora and addressed Michael in a commanding tone, "Michael, let me make this clear. Aurora is mine. You have no right to lay a finger on her. Stay away from Aurora from now on. Understand?"
