Royce etched on his face. He knew Tina hadto be a woman of strong personality, and with her character, how could she one who wouldn't tolerate infidelity. Yet, here she was, seemingly unperturbed by her boyfriend's infidelity?

And now that Tina's boyfriend had cheated on her, she didn't mind?

""knew? "I've answered your questions. Now, can you leave?"" Tina said coldly.

""?" Tina's voice was icy. "Tina, you...You are unbelievable,""," Royce saidmanaged to say through clenched teeth.

After saying this, Royce angrily walked away.

""Damn it! Damn it!"" Royce , he kicked the wall hard, his face turning even paler.

Royce He had originally thought that oncepresenting Tina saw thiswith evidence, she of Eric's infidelity would surely get angryincite her anger, leading to their breakup and go off on Eric.

With this evidence, he could successfully break up Tina and Eric, and Tina might even seekpossible revenge on Eric for this.

brewing within him. Why could a poor personguy like him getEric win over the school beauty? And not onlyjust that, he could evenbut also make the school beauty her willingly accept his infidelity?

Why? Why?

Royce felt extremely unwilling in his heart, even though his family background was tens of millions of times better than Eric's!

The Despite his family's superior wealth, Royce felt a gnawing sense of injustice. Meanwhile, Eric parked his Lamborghini in the underground lot of Power Plaza is currently, the most prosperousbustling square in New York.

Eric parked the Lamborghini in the underground parking lot.

"" "Eric, didn't you say you would show me the truth? Let's go in...""

"" "I guess so,""," Sharon nodded, realizing she was still holding onto her previous ideas about spending.

"" "Oh, by the way, I have a gift for you.""." Eric took out a box and handed it to Sharon.

"" "What is it?""?" Sharon curiously took the box.

"" "Just open it and you'll see,""," Eric smiled faintly.

After Upon opening the box, Sharon heard his words, she immediately opened the box.

What caught her eye was greeted by a pair of sparkling bracelets.

These bracelets were the same pair of glass-jade bracelets that Eric had bought at an auction that morning for 1.5 million dollars.

"" "What kind of bracelets are these? Are they expensive?""?" Sharon examined the bracelets closely.

Coming from a financially struggling family, Sharon never saw jade directly.had little exposure to such luxuries. She had no knowledge of itjade, let alone that these jade bracelets were worth over a million dollars!

"" "These are quite cheap. Would you still like them?""?" Eric smiled.

"" "Why not? As long as it's a gift from you, even if it's just a penny, I wouldn't dislike it,""," Sharon said.

""replied. "Okay, let's get out of the car.""." Eric opened the car door.

After getting out of Once they had exited the car, Eric, accompanied by Sharon, headed straight to the third floor using the elevator.

The entire third floor was filled with clothing stores.

Of course, the prices of the clothes there were not cheap. The lowest prices started from a thousand dollars, and the higher-end ones were tens of thousands of dollars.

Eric said he wouldhad promised to help Sharon buy a new outfit, so they wentheaded directly to the women's clothing section.

Eric didn't know much Eric wasn't particularly knowledgeable about clothing brands, so he randomly chose a larger, more luxurious women's clothing store and walked in with Sharon.

""Wow"Good heavens, these clothesgarments are so beautiful!"" Sharon exclaimed when she entered the shop and saw the simply exquisite!" Sharon's exclamation echoed through the boutique as she took in the dazzling array of clothes.

""Eric, let's go. I don't like anything here,"" Sharon said seriously.

""How come?Eric's side, her excitement noticeably dimmed."Eric, I think the clotheswe should leave. Nothing here are pretty nice.appeals to me," she stated, her tone brimming with seriousness."Really? I find the selection quite appealing. Are you concernedworried about the prices? Don't worry, todaycost? Today, we're shopping without lookinga glance at the price tags!""!" Eric said withreassured her, a playful smile.

dancing on his lips.Eric noticed thathad observed a shift in Sharon's expression changeddemeanor after she looked at had scrutinized the price tags of the clothes and then told. It was evident to him she didn't like anything here.

Based on this alone, Eric knew that Sharon was the steep prices had intimidated by the prices here.

Earlierher.Previously, Eric himself had also glanced at a few price tags. The prices he saw for two pieces of clothing wereThe figures he'd seen, $8,888 and $16,888.

In the past, it, would have been anonce seemed astronomical figure for Eric, and he couldn't even imagine a piece of clothing being so expensive. But for Eric now, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket.

""Hey, where are the salespeople? to him. The idea of a single garment costing such an amount was unfathomable. However, for the Eric of today, such sums were mere pocket change."Where are the sales associates? The shop assistants?"" Eric shouted.?" Eric's voice rang out, frustration seeping into his tone. From the moment Ericthey'd entered, hehe'd noticed that there were no salespeople to attend to him. But when Eric looked around, he saw thata distinct lack of attention from the staff. Meanwhile, other customers in the storepatrons were being warmly greetedattended to by salespeople.

After Eric shouted, he thought that those salespeople who were chatting would come over.

Howevernearby. Upon his vocal inquiry, Eric expected the idle staff to approach. Instead, they onlymerely glanced in his direction and continued to chat, completelyhis way before resuming their conversation, blatantly ignoring Eric and showing no intention of coming to greet him and Sharon. Eric furrowed his brows because he could see the The disdain and contempt in their gazeseyes.

""Forget it, were not lost on Eric, let's gocausing his brows to furrow in irritation."Let's just leave, Eric. We can find another store,""," Sharon said. Eric nodded and leftsuggested. With a nod of agreement, Eric exited the storeboutique with Sharon.

However, once again, they were servingmet with indifference from the sales staff, who were otherwise engaged with other customers.

""Eric, why"Why are they ignoring us?"" Sharon pouted.

""It's simple, they , Eric?" Sharon asked, her lower lip jutting out in a pout."The answer is simple. They're judging us based on our casual attire," Eric replied, his eyes narrowing."How can they be so prejudiced?" Sharon protested, stamping her foot in indignation."Sharon, when you're not wealthy, people tend to look down on us and discriminate against us because we are dressed too casually,"" Eric squinted his eyes and said.

""How could they be like this?"" Sharon stomped her foot angrily.

""Sharon, when you don't have money, people will look down on you,"" Eric said.
