Chapter 1
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 money-worshiping? 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 hundred-dollar 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 money-worshiping 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 money-eating beast!"
My colleagues passed it around, and I could hear clearly what was on the bill.
Luxury goods counters, jewelry stores, high-end 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—"
Chapter 2
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 money-worshipping man#
Chapter 3
#Who would dare to marry a money-worshipping 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 high-profile manner.
On the social platform, Jordan showed off his latest high-end men's watch with the caption:
[Thank you boss for your kindness~]
It is positioned as a top-level 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 full-time 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 black-clad 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!"
