Was this man crazy?

Was he really going to spend ten thousand dollars on this book?

Jessica and Vivian were stunned. This man was crazy!

The manager looked at James’ chilling eyes and politely took the bank card.

Before Sophia could stop him, she heard a beep. The card was successfully swiped!

After swiping, the manager handed the card to James and said awkwardly, “I’m sorry, sir. It was my fault just now. As the bookstore manager, my stance was not firm enough. I was almost blinded by external things.”

After a pause, the manager continued, “You’re right. In doing business, we should be honest and follow the principle of first come, first served. Therefore, I’ll still sell the books to you at the original price. This is your card. Please keep it.”

What the hell!

Hearing that the only book was bought by Sophia’s husband at the original price, Jessica and Vivian were furious!

However, James ignored the two of them. He took the book from the manager and left with Sophia.

…

Not long after the two of them came out of the bookstore, Sophia’s phone was bombarded with group messages.

Vivian said in the group, “I’m so lucky today that I can buy a lottery ticket. I actually met our class belle, Sophia!”

“She and her husband are buying books. According to her, they are also buying them for the GM jewelry competition!”

As soon as he said this, as expected, the group exploded.

“Hubby? She was married? She was a saint when she went to university. She said that she wanted to be an independent woman in the new era, rely on herself, be financially independent, and not get married!”

“That’s right! How long had it been? You got married?”

“Sophia is really resourceful! She wondered which man had taken the bait!”

This was exactly what Vivian wanted. She smiled and quickly sent a message in the group “Don’t say that. Her husband is very handsome. Although he doesn’t have a house, a car, or savings, the two of them should be true love.”

“Whoa! That must be true love! A man without any products! Sophia has really made the girls in our design class proud!”

A girl in the group said sarcastically!

However, she was right. In the design class, not to mention the boyfriends and husbands, they were all women with houses and cars.

Although they had always been better off than Sophia financially since they entered school, Sophia was always better off than them in terms of professionalism and beauty. Therefore, when they heard that Sophia’s husband was a three-way man, they could not help but take the opportunity to mock her!

“Yeah, you still have the face to participate in the GM competition? She has the nerve!”

The sneer in Vivian’s eyes deepened as she continued, “Don’t say that! She must have been preparing for it as well. After all, the last book in the bookstore was Magical Metal Clay Jewelry. I was about to pay for it when she and her husband snatched it away.”

“F * ck! Sophia actually dared to snatch your book! You’re going to win an award and clear the name of our design class! Why is she so disgusting!”

“That’s right! She even ganged up with her husband to bully Vivian. She was shameless and a b * tch!”

…

The messages in the group continued, and Sophia was already speechless at these so-called classmates.

She wanted to leave the Group chats, but after thinking about it, she temporarily blocked the group chat.

Seeing Sophia frowning at her phone, James couldn’t help but ask, “Have you been busy recently?”

Hearing this, Sophia smiled. ” No, I just joined a boring group and forgot to block the news.”

How far could a group of people who relied on slandering others to gain a sense of superiority go?

After saying that, she blocked the group chat and put her phone in her pocket. She smiled at James. “Thank you for today.”

“But are you really planning to spend ten thousand dollars on this book?” Sophia suddenly remembered James’ reaction at the bookstore and asked hurriedly.

This person went to work early and returned late every day, even though she had never asked about his salary.

However, judging from the decoration of the room, he must have saved up a lot of money to buy a house, but he planned to spend 10,000 dollars to buy a book for himself!

Hearing this, James said indifferently, “It’s only ten thousand dollars. Didn’t you say that this book is very important to you? It’s worth it!”

“It’s worth it!”

When she said this, Sophia almost couldn’t help but cry on the spot!

Ever since her mother passed away, no one had ever told her what she deserved!

They would always feel that all good things and good things should not belong to them.

But James actually said that he was worth it!

Sophia felt a lump in her throat and realized that she was about to cry. She quickly held it in and joked, “What do you mean by ten thousand dollars?”

“You’re talking as if you’re a rich man! Ten thousand dollars is nothing in your eyes?”

“Did I see wrongly? You’re actually the overbearing CEO of the richest place? Or the highest-ranking officer in the military camp?”

Hearing this, James was stunned. He looked at Sophia and asked seriously, “What if I’m the overbearing CEO or the highest-ranking officer of the wealthy?”

Sophia smiled, but her expression became serious. “If you really are, then I have to think about it. The story of the prince and Cinderella will wake up one day! I don’t want to wake up from my dream and realize that everything is just an illusion.”

James frowned. “But, if I were a rich man, you wouldn’t have to suffer Jessica’s humiliation and be beaten by your father. They’d all rush to please you.”

Sophia smiled faintly. “I can tell that you’re not from a rich family. Do you think you can rest easy just because you’re married into a rich family?”

“Although I can’t deny that the benefits you mentioned will happen! However, there were two sides to everything. I received compliments from Jessica and the others, and my vanity was satisfied, but I also had to endure the rules and regulations of the rich and powerful, as well as all kinds of complicated relationships.”

Sophia shook her head and continued, “I admit that I can’t deal with the bitterness and hatred of the wealthy families, so I’d better rely on myself.”

“Moreover, after a man has money and power, he will almost always abandon her. I don’t want to become a shrew who tears apart a mistress, or a resentful woman with deep hatred, or even a pitiful person who is heartbroken because of a man.” Sophia said, her eyes cold.

Because she thought of how her mother had been heartlessly abandoned by that man back then, and how she had been humiliated by that man for her!

The grief on her mother’s face seemed to be carved into her body like a knife.

James looked at the coldness on Sophia’s face and felt a little complicated.

He didn’t expect Sophia to think of wealthy families like this.

She was indeed different from other women.

However, she was so resistant to rich families. If she knew the truth, would she still be able to maintain this relationship?

After thinking about it, James swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

“You’re right, I think so too, that’s why I didn’t work hard. Otherwise, I’d be a noble family now.”

James laughed out loud.

Sophia was also amused by him.

Perhaps only James himself knew that at a certain moment just now, he was suddenly afraid that Sophia would leave, so he did not tell her the truth that he was the CEO of a wealthy family.

“I know that you’re willing to give up 10,000 dollars to help me. But you can’t do this in the future. It’s ten thousand dollars! It’s not worth it to lose a month’s salary in order to compete with someon. The gains do not make up for the losses!” Sophia suddenly became serious and said to James seriously.

James raised his eyebrows and said, “Now that you’ve saved ten thousand dollars, is there anything else you want to buy? Let’s go buy it!”
