When I graduated from college, the president's fiancée held a grand engagement party for me and also issued me a secondary card that I could use as I pleased.

I decided not to touch this card.

She got angry:

"Vivian, you will be my husband from now on. The money I earn is your money. Just spend it as much as you want. If you don't spend my money, does that mean you don't love me anymore? Or do you want to break up with me?"

She begged me with bloodshot eyes to spend her money, otherwise she would not be able to sleep or eat.

I just ordered two FoodDash meals just for fun.

But when I wanted to buy her a luxurious loving lunch, the waiter told me that the card was maxed out.

I sent her a message to confirm the credit limit, and found out that it was a secondary card with a credit limit of 500,000.

I was afraid that she was a forgetful person and would forget that she had swiped the card, so I didn't mention it.

Just wait until the credit limit is restored next month, and then give her some money.

Unexpectedly, she came to my workstation with a bunch of bills and started to scold me:

"Alexander Sterling! Why are you so moneyworshiping? I told you to spend as much as you want, not to spend 500,000 in three days!"

"You refused to swipe my card a long time ago because you thought the limit was too small! For a spendthrift like you, it's a good thing I haven't married you yet, otherwise you would have squandered all our wealth in two days!"

She wanted to break off the engagement with me and asked me to return the money.

I took out a red note and handed it to her:

"Then cancel the engagement! You don't have to give me the extra money, save it for buying a coffin!"

She thought I was going to default on my debt, so she hired a top lawyer to settle the score with me.

After checking the accounts, her face turned green.

"Alexander! What do you mean? You dare not admit it, and you curse me to death?"

Vivian Crawford refused to take the hundreddollar bill I handed over, and her face turned red with anger.

I shrugged, took out another one, and said calmly:

"I only used your card to pay for two meals, totaling $29.9, and you asked me to pay you $500,000 right away. I didn't call the police and report you for extortion, so that's all good."

"What? Not enough? Then I'll give you another one. Please get out of my sight right now!"

She was so furious that she didn't believe that I only spent less than $30.

She threw the supplementary card bill in my face:

"Why are you pretending? How could there be something wrong with your bank statement? Look at what you bought! I've never seen a moneyworshiping gigolo like you!"

The long bill fell to the ground and I was too lazy to even look at it.

A colleague who was extremely curious picked it up, gasped after reading it, and looked at me in disbelief:

"Alexander, your spending power is comparable to that of a moneyeating beast!"

My colleagues passed it around, and I could hear clearly what was on the bill.

Luxury goods counters, jewelry stores, highend hotels...

More than a dozen transactions were made within three days, and the 500,000 yuan limit was completely used up.

I snatched back the bill, glanced at it, and pointed directly at the amount of the two FoodDash meals at the bottom:

"These two are the ones I made. The others have nothing to do with me."

Seeing that I didn't admit it, Vivian looked at me with a sneer as if she had heard a huge joke:

"Alexander, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! The card is in your hand, and you signed the bill, but you told me it wasn't you who paid for it. Did I pay for it?"

"I am the CEO. Any order I sign is worth more than 500,000. Do I have to cheat you out of your money in this way?"

That’s what I wanted to ask too.

I asked the same question in return.

She was so angry that she laughed, and shouted at the subordinates who were watching:

"Family disgrace should not be made public, but some people are shameless and want to take advantage of it. So I ask everyone to be my judge!"

"As you know, Alexander was the childhood sweetheart that my grandfather arranged for me. After he graduated, I held a grand engagement party with him as promised. To show my love for him, I gave him my supplementary card to use at will. He refused to use even a penny of my money at first, and tried to trick me into asking him to spend my money. But—"

She shook the bill in her hand and said in a cold tone:

"As you can see, he spent over 500,000 in three days, all on luxury items!"

"Even if I have mountains of gold and silver, I can't stop him from doing this!"

Vivian is the future boss, and because of her beauty, she has always been popular among her subordinates.

Now that this kind of thing has happened, her employees naturally stand on her side.

Because of her fiancé's identity, my colleagues who had been fawning on me a few minutes ago all looked at me with contempt.

"Vivian, I think he is just pretending to be a saint even though he is a whore. He said he won't spend your money just to force you to beg him for money. This way, when the truth comes out, he will have an excuse to bite you back!"

"Yes! That must be it!"

"I couldn't spend 500,000 in three years, but he spent 500,000 in three days. This is still not the spending power of a CEO's husband. If we really get married, won't we squander all our family fortune?"

"Vivian is so pitiful, having such a fiancé..."

"If you ask me, just cancel the engagement! Child marriage is a feudal dregs!"

Vivian's assistant, Jordan Summers, looked at me with disdain and shook her arm to persuade her:

"Vivian, young people nowadays just can't stand the test. Just think of it as spending 500,000 yuan to get to know his true colors. Otherwise, if you really get married, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep the company, and we'll all be unemployed..."

As expected of Vivian’s good employee, her sarcastic remarks penetrated her ears like poisonous snakes.

I clenched the pen in my hand until my knuckles turned white.

Vivian looked at the crowd's support for her with satisfaction, and put her arm around Jordan's shoulders in front of me:

"Alexander, if you need money you can just tell me. Why do you have to secretly max out my credit card? Now, either pay me back immediately..."

She paused, her eyes contemptuous:

"Either we cancel the engagement, or you pack up and get out of my company."

The whole office was silent, and everyone was waiting for my reaction.

I looked her straight in the eyes and sneered:

"Don't worry, the marriage will be cancelled, but I can't pay a penny..."

Seeing my bad attitude, everyone gasped.

Jordan was full of excitement and added fuel to the fire:

"Oh my god, how can there be such a shameless gigolo like you in this world? Luckily, Vivian unintentionally found out your true identity!"

"Otherwise, if we really get married, I will be sucked dry by a vampire like you sooner or later!"

No matter what he said, I took out my FoodDash order and said calmly:

"Let me reiterate, I only charged you $29.9, don't even think about blackmailing me!"

"As for this crappy job, I don't care about it!"

"Vivian, I'm firing you! Consider this half month's salary a gift to you. If your company goes out of business in a few days, you can buy a few more FoodDash meals to fill your stomach."

I took a screenshot of the order and sent it directly to the company group, then quickly left the group and left with my bag.

Seeing that I ignored her, Vivian's face darkened and she grabbed my wrist:

"Alexander! Don't think you can get away with it by pretending to be dead! If you don't pay up the money today, this matter will not end!"

I calmly pulled my hand back and said:

"Vivian, I've already sent you the bill. Please check it carefully before you come back to me."

After saying that, I left without looking back.

I thought the matter ended there, but unexpectedly, Vivian actually posted this matter online.

They even linked me to the school and launched a joint attack on me.

Soon, the scandal about me became a hot topic.

#The high school Summa Cum Laude turned out to be a shameless moneyworshipping man#

Chapter 3 Preview

#Who would dare to marry a moneyworshipping man who made 500,000 in 3 days? #

#The beautiful CEO is so miserable, she is treated as an ATM by her childhood fiancé! #

The overwhelming insults in the comment section poured into my phone as my personal information was dug up.

"How could your parents raise someone like you? You are such a disgrace! Go to hell now, and don't bring shame to the school!"

"As expected, education has nothing to do with character. For a man like you, no one would dare to marry you even if you offered him money!"

Someone even dug out my student ID and instructor information and went to the school to demand that I be cleared out.

The next day, I received a call from my counselor.

"Alexander, the school leaders take this matter very seriously. Your Summa Cum Laude title... may not be kept."

I clutched my phone tightly, my throat was dry:

"Teacher, I didn't pay for those purchases..."

The instructor sighed:

"But public opinion can no longer be suppressed. The school's reputation has been damaged, and there are people putting pressure on us..."

I understood instantly.

Vivian's company will soon cooperate with the school laboratory, and there will be targeted training among graduates.

Now is a critical period for job hunting, and I cannot ruin other people's future because of me.

I accepted the result calmly.

Whether it is Summa Cum Laude or not doesn’t have much impact on me.

Anyway, the school is not so ridiculous as to cancel my diploma and degree certificate.

But Vivian didn't plan to stop there.

She used her connections in the circle to ban me.

All the resumes I sent out fell into the sea, and I didn’t even get an interview opportunity.

At the same time, Vivian took Jordan to various business receptions in a highprofile manner.

On the social platform, Jordan showed off his latest highend men's watch with the caption:

[Thank you boss for your kindness~]

It is positioned as a toplevel The Halcyon Club.

Vivian liked and commented:

【You deserve the best. 】

That night, I received a text message from her:

"Alexander, if you want to continue to be the CEO's husband, you have to pay off the 500,000 first, then sign the Prenuptial Agreement, and finally promise to stay at home and take care of the children as a fulltime rich husband after you marry into the family."

"As long as you are obedient, I can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing in your life, and you will be respected in front of others."

"Otherwise, you'll never find a job in your life."

I stared at the screen and suddenly laughed.

Vivian probably doesn't know that, considering my status, marrying me would be beyond her reach.

Even if I never work for my whole life, I can still have enough food and clothing and be respected by others.

I was too lazy to pay attention to her and gave her a rude word:

【roll!】

Unexpectedly, Vivian came to my house with four bodyguards that night.

The doorbell rang loudly, and I opened the door slowly. I saw Vivian standing at the door with a gloomy face, and four blackclad bodyguards behind her looked aggressive.

"Alexander, do you think you'll be fine if you just hide at home?"

She sneered, pushed me aside and rushed in.

I leaned against the door frame with my arms folded, watching her roam around my house like a robber.

Her eyes swept over the jade ornaments and antique porcelain in the living room, as well as the famous paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall, and her expression became increasingly uglier.

"Oh, I was wondering how you dared to blatantly max out my card. It turns out you learned this from many sponsors!"

She pointed at those valuable things and said sarcastically:

"How many people did you deceive to fill your house with stuff?"

I raised my eyebrows and said nothing.

She walked to the tea table again, picked up a blue and white porcelain cup, looked at it, and sneered:

"After all this time, you've only used fake goods to show off your products!"

Chapter 4 Preview

"It's a very good imitation, but the glaze is too new. It's obviously a fake."

I couldn't help but laugh:

"Vivian has good eyesight."

This is the only fake set in my house.

Vivian thought I was mocking her, and her eyes became even colder:

"Alexander, I don't have time to play word games with you! You must pay back the 500,000 today and sign these agreements, otherwise our engagement will be void."

"When the time comes, your dream of becoming a rich man is shattered, don't regret it!"

"Also, your parents don't have any pension, so I won't take care of their retirement..."

Before she finished speaking, the bodyguard behind her suddenly whispered:

"Vivian, does this look like the top lot from Christensen's auction a few days ago?"

Vivian was stunned, and turned her head to look at the porcelain bottle along her hand.

It was a plum vase from the official kiln of the Song Dynasty. My dad saw that I liked it, so he took a picture of it and gave it to me to play with.

Vivian stared at it for a few seconds, her expression changing several times, and finally she sneered:

"Alexander, you are really good at picking out fakes. You even dare to imitate the popular models that have just been sold at the auction?"

Looking at this woman who is three years older than me, I can't help but feel fortunate that I haven't reached the legal age yet, otherwise according to the agreement made by our elders, I would be her husband now.

If such a scheming woman who appears generous but is actually stingy and has poor taste were to become my wife, it would be a stain on my life.

I sighed and ordered them to leave:

"Vivian, I don't blame you for being blind, but if you insist on embarrassing yourself in front of me, I won't keep you company."

Her face darkened:

"What do you mean? Do you really think I must have you?"

"Let me tell you, what I despise most is moneydiggers like you who make money by selling your body!"

"Your reputation is ruined now. You can't find another husband except marrying me! If it weren't for the friendship of the older generation, I wouldn't waste my time talking nonsense with you!"

I was too lazy to explain, so I just picked up the plum vase and turned it over to the bottom in front of her:

"Look carefully, this is Christensen's identification number. It is the only one in the world and was sold for $120 million."

"Do you think I'd be short of your 500,000?"

"For the sake of our friendship, I can give you 500,000 yuan for free, but I just happen to hate gold diggers who want to get something for nothing!"

"As long as you take your people and get out of here right now and never show up in front of me again, I won't pursue your slander and cyberbullying of me."

Vivian's expression froze.

The bodyguard took a breath and whispered:

"Vivian, he's so arrogant, could there be some misunderstanding? And this plum vase... seems to be real."

Vivian's face turned pale. She snatched the plum vase and looked at it over and over again. The more she looked at it, the uglier her face became.

She took out her cell phone and called Jordan.

"Jordan, isn't your sister an employee at Christensen's auction house? Ask her to find out who bought the last standing bid for the top lot!"

"By the way, bring the top lawyer I hired to Alexander's house!"

"He has been stubborn and has not used my card until now. I have to make him give in today! Otherwise, he will shit on my head after we get married."

Since Vivian wants to be slapped in the face, I am willing to wait.

Ten minutes later, Jordan showed up at my house with the news and his lawyer.

"Vivian, I asked, that plum vase was bought by the richest man and was going to give it to his son as a vase to play with."

After hearing this, Vivian looked as if she knew it.

Jordan picked up the plum vase and admired it, then sneered at me:

"Alexander, you're willing to spend a lot of money to show off your wealth, even making a highend imitation so realistic?"

The top lawyer looked unhappy at the sight of the bottle.

She rushed forward, pushed up her goldrimmed glasses, and was about to take a closer look.

Jordan suddenly raised his hand——

“Bang!”

The crisp sound of shattering echoed throughout the living room.

The Song Dynasty plum vase worth 120 million yuan was smashed to the ground by him and shattered completely.

I was stunned.

Vivian was stunned for a moment, then glared at Jordan in dissatisfaction.

"Jordan, stop messing around! Even if it's a highend replica, it's worth a lot of money!"

Jordan pursed his lips and said with red eyes:

"Vivian, Alexander is obviously not going to pay you back the 500,000. I smashed a fake item for you to vent your anger, why are you blaming me?"

In front of me, Vivian coaxed him in a gentle and doting voice:

"I'm not blaming you! I was just trying to get him to cough up the 500,000 so I could buy you a small apartment to live in."

"My capable employees deserve the best!"

"I hope some people can see the difference between him and me and sign these agreements. After all, the people lining up to be my husband can go around Newcrest City."

She glanced at me meaningfully.

I rolled my eyes as if I was looking at a mentally retarded person, and said disdainfully:

"Vivian, please find out who spent the $500,000 first, otherwise the people who want to empty your family's assets will be able to go around Newcrest City."

Jordan felt guilty when he heard that, and tears suddenly started to fall.

This made Vivian panic.

I don't want to see them showing off their affection in front of me, so I interrupted coldly:

"Vivian is so compassionate to his subordinates, I guess you will help him pay for this 120 million plum vase, right?"

Vivian raised her foot and prepared to crush the fragments.

"Is a fake worth my money? Why, are you heartbroken? Didn't you say it's a genuine product? Didn't you say you have money? Then why don't you buy another one?"

Jordan immediately burst into laughter and looked at me triumphantly like a rooster that had won a battle.

The top lawyer fell to his knees and just barely stopped Vivian's feet.

"Vivian, this plum vase, if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid it's real..."

At this point, Vivian and Jordan were both stunned.

I didn't expect that the top lawyer Vivian hired had such good vision.

In just the next second, Vivian pushed the person away and crushed the broken pieces of the plum vase:

"Lawyer Mike, you are a top lawyer, not a jewelry appraiser. You also heard that the real piece was bought by the richest man in Newcrest City and given to his son as a vase. How could it possibly end up in our Bayview City?"

Jordan opened his mouth wide and exclaimed:

"Unless Alexander is bold enough to rob the richest man's house?"

"Or maybe he even hooked up with the richest man in Newcrest City?"

I couldn't help but laugh at their ignorance.

"I won't hide it from you, the richest man in Newcrest City is my dad..."

Vivian immediately looked at Jordan and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

"Oh my god, Alexander, I know everything about your family background. Your father is the richest man. He might be your godfather, right? It turns out you are popular with both men and women!"

"Since you are able to hook up with the richest man, I will reluctantly not break off the engagement with you, and you don't have to pay back the 500,000 yuan."

"You just need to sign these agreements and promise to ask the richest man to take care of my Crawford Family's business every year. I will definitely cover for you and the richest man."
