Victory in Life
Chapter 10
The man was wearing casual clothes, but he was wearing an impressive Cartier man's watch on his wrist which was also precious.
As for the woman next to him, he asked her to buy him a bracelet.
“Felix, why didn't you buy this for me? The price is not expensive. Just a little over 30,000. You spend more than that in card games.”
Felix ignored the woman next to him and stared intently at Wendy.
"Wendy Schuler?" Felix called.
Felix did not expect that after graduating from High School, he would still meet his dream lover here.
He and Wendy were classmates in high school. At that time he chased after Wendy desperately, but it was a pity that Wendy did not give him a chance.
After college, Wendy went straight to the capital to study at a university with excellent grades. Although Felix's family also had money, they were unable to send him to such a university, so he went to school abroad.
After years of not seeing each other, Wendy became very beautiful. Although Wendy was a little older than she remembered, the woman was more mature and feminine!
Felix's heart surged. He wants to get Wendy right away.
Staring at Felix, Wendy frowned slightly and then said something that made Felix very depressed.
"Who are you?"
Without a doubt, Wendy had forgotten all about him.
“I'm Felix West. We were classmates in high school. Back then, I sent you love letters every day.”
Felix walked up to Wendy and said with a smile. Hearing his name, Jasper also remembered who he was.
In high school, there was a guy named Felix West. He was typical of the second generation of a wealthy family. Felix went abroad to college and they never met again after that.
The reason Jasper had such a deep impression on her was because Felix used to bother her when she was in high school!
"Felix West, is that you?"
Wendy finally remembered and smiled politely. At the same time, he also recalled that Felix used to bother Jasper when they were studying. He quickly said, "I didn't expect to see you here, but I still have a lot of business to do today, so just have a chat next time!"
After speaking, Wendy pulled Jasper up and said, “Jasp, let's go. Don't buy me a gift. I really don't need it.”
Wendy's words, along with her friendly actions and greeting Jasper, made Felix focus on Jasper.
Looking at Jasper, Felix felt more familiar with every passing second.
"Jasper Laine?"
Felix suddenly recalled who Jasper was, and his expression became extremely excited. “Isn't this the poor one from SMA? Why are you two so close?”
In his last sentence, Felix's tone and demeanor were almost reproachful. It was as if Jasper had desecrated his god just by standing beside Wendy.
At this time, Lindy Manson, the female escort brought by Felix, was also approaching.
"Felix, who is this guy?" Lindy asked.
“Friends classmate time SMA!”
Felix sneered with disdain, “He was the poorest man in the entire high school, wearing the same school uniform every day and eating only twice a day with bread and jam. He is also frequently disturbed. I thought she looked really pathetic, so I sometimes let her do my chores and gave her a few bucks.”
"Yes, right!"
Jasper's immediate response was beyond Felix's expectations. “My family is always in trouble, so I can't possibly have a lot of pocket money at school. Still good I have enough food, so I'm very grateful for my parents' hard work.”
In Jasper's view, being poor was not a mistake, let alone a shame. Because of poverty they have to work hard to make money. To be exact, the big figures who actually reached the top were those who started from the lowest point.
Jasper's open-mindedness made Wendy look at him with much more respect, and her gaze was fixed on Jasper.
This scene made Felix even more furious.
With a mocking smile, Felix said cynically, “After a few years, the dull quiet low self has become talkative and show-off. I heard you were looking for a necklace from the tincelle de Cartier collection when you came? I know that necklace, but it's very expensive. Can you buy it?”
While saying so, Felix wiggled his wrist and said, “See this watch? I bought it here for 200,000. Have you ever seen so much money in your life? I just don't dare say that I can buy that necklace, let alone you!
“Wendy, even though she used to be our classmate, you have to see everything clearly. What future can you have with this poor man? He'll only trouble you. With your looks and abilities, you can find a man who is much better than him.”
Lindy already hates Wendy so much just because of Felix's attitude towards her.
Soon, she boasted, “Yes, as a woman, we should look around carefully when looking for a boyfriend. Just look at me being friendly with Felix.
“A few days ago, he gave me an LV handbag that cost over 10,000. And today, he's gonna buy me a Cartier bracelet. A poor man like this, what can he buy for you? When you went out for breakfast, she couldn't afford eggs and ham for her toast, right?”
Wendy said nothing and just glanced at Lindy with pity.
According to Wendy, when a woman reaches the point where she has to boast to the man she relies on for money, it is a very sad thing.
This pitying gaze made Lindy, who felt inferior after being crushed by Wendy's appearance and temperament, grow angry.
“This is not a place for poor people like you. Out!" Lindy immediately shouted.
Jasper said roughly, “Is this Cartier store yours? What right do you have to tell us to come out?”
While saying so, Jasper turned to the seller who was confused on how to handle these two types of customers. He said, "Do you have a necklace from the Tincele de Cartier series here?"
Felix grunting. “Still pretending? Very disgusting."
The salesman said, "Yes, and it's also the last one in the whole region."
While saying, the seller hurriedly took out the necklace.
The Tincelle Cartier series is a more famous collection.
36 Perfectly cut diamonds surrounded the necklace, and in the center, there was a pink diamond that no woman could resist!
The value of this diamond alone exceeds 400,000 dollars.
As soon as this necklace was seen, Wendy even who was used to seeing jewelry was amazed, not to mention Lindy who was staring at him dumbly.
Instead, the bracelet he had asked Felix to buy was just a piece of trash on the side of the road.
However, Felix was still reluctant to buy the trash bracelet for him.
“The trunk is here, but can a poor person like you afford it?” Lindy sneering.
Felix snorted and said, “You don't have to pay to see it. Maybe this bum just wants to look around. Since he met us, he was cornered and couldn't turn things around!”
