Chapter 211
"Y—Yes! Yeah, we know!" Dana was so excited that her voice shook as she spoke. This particular model is very expensive; it is good enough if they can see one of them per month.
Although quite a number of people buy Porsche cars, they still cannot regularly sell models that cost above 2 million. More importantly, Jack asked for the same two models.
"Do...did I hear wrong?" The other salesman's jaw loosened. He looked at the credit card in shock. "No, wait," he said. "What card is this? Why haven't I seen her?"
Jack's lips turned into a wry smile. "This is a custom made card. There are probably less than five of them in the world. It would be even stranger if you've seen it before! I guess I'm the only one in Daxia who has it."
The salesman suddenly grinned humorlessly when he heard that. "You lied. Less than five in the world? We don't know if you can swipe that card with that kind of money. If you are really the only one in Daxia who has this card, then no one will recognize it, but that also means no one can prove that it is real as well. Don't you? You're pretty smart, aren't you? What a lie!"
Selena held back her laughter with her hands covering her mouth; her husband overestimated her wealth to another level. Fewer than five of those cards are in the entire world, and he is the only one in Daxia who has them? He really had an exaggerated opinion of himself. The lie is so bad that even the gods will hate it.
"You're the best, Dad!" Selena felt embarrassed as Kylie looked at Jack with great admiration, her eyes practically sparkling.
"Alright, let's take the bill. Both cars will cost a total of 5.4 million dollars." Selena said to Jack, a stiff smile on her face.
"Sir, right... Aren't you going to bargain with us? We can offer you a special offer!"
The salesman's expression was panicked. This was the first time he had seen someone spend over 5 million dollars in a single go, and he had not even tried to bid!
"Hmm? No, thank you. It's too troublesome. It's very late, and we have an appointment tonight. How about this: just give us a toll card!" Jack unscrupulously bid after he thought about it.
"alright. I'll give you a toll card worth 20 grand!" Dana practically jumped for joy. He quickly handles the necessary paperwork before taking Jack to the payment counter.
The faces of the sellers who had looked down on Jack suddenly darkened. Sales were over 5 million, and Dana grabbed this big customer.
“Pak, Miss, the insurance will take effect soon, but you will not have a number plate if you drive a car now. It will take a few days before the plate will be removed, but we will supply the temporary plate. " Dana spoke with a small smile as her heart leaped in excitement. He could never have imagined that this man would become such a rich tycoon.
"Alright, then we'll throw him out first!" Jack nodded his head, and the couple drove the car from the store. They stopped at a nearby gas station to refuel their car before returning to a dilapidated park.
"Wow, Porsche 911!" Ben is resting in the park. He opened the door to look at the two new cars, and he immediately shouted, "This is definitely not a model with lower specifications. Heh. It should be at least 2 to 3 million per car!
"Who's driving them? Why do I feel like they're driving in here? Don't tell me Jack offended some more tycoons and they're here to make trouble for us." Xena also stood up, gulping.
Shortly thereafter, the cars went straight in, parking within the confines of the park fence.
"Mom, we're back!" Selena grinned, pure happiness emanating from her expression.
Chapter 212
For the past five years, their families have suffered together. At the time, Selena was constantly thinking about how wonderful it was to live a good life or drive a good car. Unfortunately, he didn't have much of a choice at the time. He could only grit his teeth and continue to survive.
It was only natural that he was dizzy as he could finally drive a luxury car worth over 2 million.
"Huh? I—It's Selena!" Fiona rushed out of the house. He notices that Jack and Selena are getting off the car, and he suddenly yells at the house, "Andrew, come here! Lookie! This is our daughter. Oh my goodness, what a beautiful car. It must be quite expensive.just a penny."
"Selena, what ... what happened?" Ben walked over to him. "It must be expensive, and it looks new. Oh, my God, don't tell me this is yours?" She asked.
"Yes ..." Selena glanced at her husband, frowning. He doesn't know how to explain this.
If he had told his mother that Jack had a lot of money to buy these two cars, he would have thought that Jack had refused to take his money to replace the 3.8 million dollars he stole. He wouldn't be so happy then!
Jack shared this thought and was just as surprised as his wife.
Fiona quickly stepped forward when Selena did not immediately reply. "so... Jack, you little bastard. Did you get back 3.8 million from me?" he grunts. "And you just took the money to buy these two sports cars? That's too much! That's my money! How can you use it to buy your car without my consent? These cars are too expensive; all they do is burn a hole in your car. It's okay if we're rich, but we won't even be able to feed ourselves otherwise!"
"Luckily Jack and Selena are making a lot of money now. That won't be a problem!" Andrew chimed in from the side. He stared at the handsome new cars, a layer of red paint that flashed all over their bodies. The sight made his spine shiver.
"Where did you find the money? Tell me, Jack, did you find my 3.8 million? I told you to find it for me, not use it to buy a new car." Fiona glared at Jack, gasping in anger as she asked a question. That's his money— his life.
Jack thought about it for a while, and soon after, he chuckled. "Mom, how can it be?" he said with a smile. "It's not your money at all!"
"Then is it yours? You dickhead. You still have that kind of money? How much do you still have? Take it out and give me 3.8 million..." Fiona poked her hand towards Jack while asking for money.
Jack smiled an unpleasant smile. "It's not my money either. Tanya bought me a car. Heh!"
Selena also breathed a sigh of relief. "really. Tanya did everything without thinking about it" he added quickly. "He just gave each of us a car after he found out that we didn't have a car. That's so we have our own transportation to work!"
"So Tanya gave it to you? That's just amazing! He gave such an expensive car to us just like that. Geez, our luck may be running out!" Andrew was very excited. He stepped forward and carefully stroked the car as if he was touching the immaculate skin of children. "How much is this one? At least a million? It's a Porsche, right?"
It's clear that Andrew doesn't know the car.
"Dad, this is a Porsche 911. The cheapest model costs at least 1 million, but this doesn't look like a 1 million dollar model!" Ben spoke while directing his gaze to the car.
"Ask a very nice person!" Joan just emerged from the kitchen. She had heard the entire conversation and gracefully spoke, "I don't know how we can thank Miss Tanya! He's our savior; he's helped us a lot before, and now he's given us such a fancy car."
To make everyone believe that Tanya had given the cars away, Jack continued after he thought about it for a while. "These cars are not actually ours either; they belong to Miss Tanya. He just bought it so we could drive it, so it's basically his. We're only given the chance to drive him around, but we'll have to resign if I resign."
Chapter 213
"Just right! That's how it is!" Selena managed to put on an awkward smile. If his mother found out that Jack had used his money to buy two cars worth more than 5 million, she would probably have told Jack to reach into his wallet in front of her.
Luckily, Jack stood up quickly. He had just handed over the responsibility to Tanya.
"The Drake family is really rich. They let you two drive the company car, and they're also very fancy models!"
"How much did he spend on this?" Ben asked Jack excitedly.
"Not much, about 2.7 million per car!" Jack grinned.
"2.7 Million per car... As I thought: A car like this would cost at least 2 million, and actually 2.7 million per car. Oh, my God, this is amazing. This is a car that a man must drive!" Ben was so excited that he jumped up a little. His body was practically shaking from pleasure.
"Then don't tell me that two cars total more than 5 million? My God, the world of the rich is unimaginable!" Xena was also dumbfounded. He swallowed a bitter gulp.
He intends to see if he can get along with the upper classes through Ben. After all, he was a noble. Of course he has been kicked out of the family, but who knows if Old Master Taylor sees the light someday. He never thought that for those who were truly rich, 5 million was a drop of a bucket.
"Jack, Selena, that Miss Tanya is James Drake's daughter, so she is the richest woman in all of Eastfield," Fiona blabbed in joy. "The Drake Family is probably even richer than the Four Great Families! It seems Miss Tanya really appreciates the two of you, so I told you not to do anything stupid. Just do a good job and keep your position, okay? "
"I know that, Ma. We will definitely work hard, because Miss Tanya is very kind to us!" Selena smile.
"So, if you don't quit your job, those cars are basically ours!" Fiona crows. "If someone else asks you whose car this is on the street, just say it's yours. Understood it? Just tell them you bought it. Other people will not know the whole situation, so they will definitely trust you. We'll have it's undeniable reputation!" Fiona's arrogance suddenly surged within him. "Heh. I also want to get in this car someday. I have to go down the street in it!"
"Alright, alright. Don'worry. We'll tell everyone that we bought it ourselves!" Selena looked at her husband and gave him a smile without humor; she did not know whether to laugh or cry. After all, those cars are theirs.
"Alright, alright. Why don't you go in and rest first? Dinner will be ready after the rice is over!" A smile adorned Joan's face. Everything will be fine as long as his son lives a good life.
He always believed that his son would not disappoint the Taylor family. Fiona and Andrew— as well as other Taylor family members— will surely acknowledge her son in the end.
"Oh, right. Did you help find my money this afternoon, Jack?" Fiona asks questions when the hype has subsided.
Jack's lips curved into a stiff smile. "We did look around for a while, but there were no clues until now. Miss Tanya called us back then and asked us to pick a car. At first, I thought he'd take us to pick out a regular car, but who knows that he'll actually take us to the Porsche shop."
"Then, you should start looking harder. I did give you seven days. You can find the money, or you can pay me that amount. Understood?"
Chapter 214
"Don't worry, Ma. Jack will definitely get your money back." Selena gave him a tight smile and replied, "Alright. Jack and I will go to the class reunion later. Some of my old classmates invited us to go out drinking and singing together at the bar! they're forever, so I gotta go."
Jack and Selena take a break before they go to take a shower, and they then get ready to get out when it's time.
"Huh? Mom, where's the car?" Selena's expression darkened as she looked at the empty terrace. He had heard the sound of the car starting when he was taking a shower but assumed that it was coming from the road. He never thought that Porsche would be driven out.
"Oh. Xena and your sister took the car out for a walk" Fiona said briefly.
The corner of Selena's mouth twitches. "Ma, can't they just drive one car if they really want to drive?" he said to Fiona. "Why did they both leave? They knew that I had to leave to make an appointment. Why didn't they leave one car for me? What should Jack and I do now?"
"Ah, your sister just wants to go out and show off in front of her friends!" Fiona immediately replied, ignoring her daughter's worries. "He asked you and Jack to call a cab wherever you should go first and let them drive the car, and you can call them when you're about to go. He and Xena will take you."
Selena was made silent. Jack had risked his life on the battlefield to earn money for them, and he even bought him a luxury car so he could stand proudly in front of his classmates. She never imagined that her own little brother and Xena would take the car out while they were taking a shower.
In the end, all he could do was smile sadly. "It seems like we can only call a taxi now," he spoke sadly.
Jack shrugged his shoulders, the same smile was also on his face. "Cannot be. Who knew that you had an inconsiderate younger brother?" He pondered. "By the way, your old friends at university are cultured, right? I hope they're not as arrogant as Rachel."
When he said that, Jack looked as if he had just thought of something when he added, "Oh, yes. Did something happen between you and Rachel during your college days? Why is he treating you so badly? respect after all these years, right?"
Selena felt overwhelmed at the time. "She always thought that she was prettier than me at university, so she thought that she should be a prima donna in class. But..."
"Oh," Jack concluded, "so it's because she's not as pretty as you, but she still thinks she's prettier than you. And he envies you for that. So now that she's married to a rich man, she's trying to eradicate your presence!" Jack quickly caught the underlying message. "Don't mind these people" he added, "he actually has very low self-esteem!"
"Fuckin' thick!" Selena offered a friendly smile to her husband before his gaze fell on Jack's clothes.
"Why don't you buy better clothes later? You did buy mine early, but yours ..."
Jack checked his watch. “Already, we don't have much time. My clothes are pretty clean too, and I just replaced them. We don't have to go and buy special fancy clothes., as long as you dress nice!"
"You really know your way around words!" The two exchanged words as they walked out. They immediately hailed a taxi and headed straight for The Lotus Bar.
At that moment, several people had already gathered in front of the entrance of the bar.
Hugh gave a charming smile. "Oh, right. There's a surprise for all of you today. Our class girl Selena Taylor—who has long disappeared from radar—will join us! I happened to meet him at the zoo entrance, and I managed to get him on board."
"really? We haven't seen him in years. I wonder how he is doing now!"
Chapter 215
"She's a woman from the Taylor family and has a knack for business. I remember how the results were always the best when we were still studying together. He must be a lot better than us regular white-collar workers!" a woman spoke loudly. She was wearing a clean white shirt and a black pencil skirt.
"Heh... I don't think you'll ever be able to imagine what really happened to Selena and what she's doing now, Rosa!" A man in glasses fixed his glasses on the trunk of his nose. He exuded a smart and stylish face. "Five years ago, not long after we graduated," she told Rosa, "Selena's married!"
"What's? She married?" Rosa was shocked to hear that. It is never too late for modern women to get married, especially for strong, career-oriented women like Selena. Especially when he was just 27 years old. Selena is about her age. If he got married five years ago, then his son—if he had—can already walk and run now.
"Isn't that true? I heard that rumor too!" Said another woman while smiling.
"He still has to come!"
Rachel's expression turned grim. He never expected Hugh to invite Selena to their meeting. That afternoon, even though she and her husband had left unharmed from Jack in kindergarten, the people they hired to fight for them had been severely beaten. They are all sent to the hospital and the total bill will probably reach around two to three million dollars.
Furthermore, these people need to undergo physical rehabilitation, in addition to medical expenses. She and her husband had to pay some more money to calm them down. The total amount she and her husband had to spend was enough to make them cry.
"What's up, Rachel? Why do you look so moody? Don't tell me you don't want to meet her?"
Hugh frowned. She always thought that Rachel seemed to have a grudge against everyone.
"Oh, right. Now I remember! You and Selena don't get along, do you?"
The woman named Rosa Reyes then asked, "What's wrong? Have you seen it? How's it going now? Do you know?"
The more Rachel thought about it, the more angry she became. She had been bullied by her useless husband today. More importantly, they would not dare to offend the other party again in the future. Since Jack and Selena are not around, Rachel thinks of saying something to destroy their reputation.
Thinking about it for a while, he then commented, "Don't talk about it anymore. I just met his family this morning when we enrolled our son in kindergarten. Selena's a complete hypocrite now. He had nothing.money, yet he was pacing around as if he was a tycoon. Heh. I'm sure you didn't know that she was married to a delivery man. Here's what happened: the Taylor family had to send one of their sons to the military ... "
Rachel recounted the problems Selena had faced during these five years in detail first before she finished her story. "So think about it: How much money does an unemployed, scavenger have? Her husband might as well not be long back, and he was clearly another poor soul. Even with all that, they still brought their daughter to enroll at Eastfield's. Best private TK at the moment!"
"really. Do they want the best kindergarten without money? That's all bullshit! I wonder to whom they borrowed money to pay for the tuition!" Dylan also came to the meeting, his fat figure gasping for breath. He wasn't in a good mood all day.
However, Rachel's friends at university—, especially women—all have a good figure and also have quite interesting features. Her sour mood lifted a little when she saw it. He thanked his lucky star because he came tonight; his eyes were blessed by looking at such a beautiful woman!
"Cannot be. Horrifically. It doesn't matter if they're poor, but pretend as well..." Rosa never thought Selena would be like this. Not only did she not marry a good man, she even scratched her pockets just for the sake of her arrogance. His pure impression of Selena was instantly shattered.
