Chapter 1

As the chief engineer of the railway, I went to give a wedding gift to my cousin on behalf of my family, but was stopped outside the hotel by his wife.

"It's OK as long as the money has arrived. The courier doesn't need to come in. Just get out of here and stop being an eyesore."

As she spoke, she reached out to grab the cardboard box in the car, which was filled with aerospace parts. I hurriedly tried to dissuade her.

"This is not a gift for you, you can't touch it!"

Her face turned cold instantly and she started cursing.

"You're just an errand boy, and you want to embezzle it? I don't even like this pile of rubbish, I wouldn't even want it if it was given to me!"

The next second, the box was kicked over by her and a gap was created in the titanium alloy inside.

I was so angry that I lost my mind.

"Are you sick? Robbery in broad daylight? Do you know what this thing is?"

Unexpectedly, the other party became even more arrogant.

"Who cares? The land you're standing on belongs to the Harrington Family! I'm the future mistress of the Harrington Family, and I can do whatever I want with it!"

"I can't stand you poor relatives the most. Just because Theo Harrington is rich, you rush to curry favor with him. You are cattle and horses of your level, not even worthy of licking my feet! Get out of here before I lose my temper! If you stand there for one more second, this place will be dirty!"

I burst out laughing on the spot. Is this the socialite my cousin is looking for?

The other party's attitude was extremely arrogant and I was too lazy to pay attention to him.

After all, this part is not worth much money, and my bonus is more than enough to compensate for it.

Considering that family disgrace should not be made public, I suppressed my anger and called my cousin.

The other party didn’t answer the first time, and only answered when he was about to hang up the second time.

I just started.

"Theo, your wife threw me—"

Before he finished speaking, the assistant's voice came from the other end.

"You are Grant's cousin, right? Sorry, Grant is busy with socializing and doesn't have time to pay attention to these little things. You can handle it yourself."

I was left there, and didn't come back to my senses for a long time.

I've heard that my cousin's business has been doing well in recent years, and he's tied with Lancaster Consortium for the richest man in the area.

But I didn't expect that even his personality changed.

When he was a child, he would follow me in his open-crotch pants and beg me to pee for him to play in the mud. Now he is like a dragon in the sky, and all the people are in the mud.

Seeing me being humiliated, the woman raised her neck even higher.

"Why, Theo didn't answer your call? I told you a long time ago that he is as disgusted by you poor relatives as I am. You are like parasites."

"As long as I'm here, don't even think about getting any benefit from the Harrington Family! I wanted to let you go for Theo's sake, but now I regret it!"

"I make 100 million every minute. I have lost 1 billion in the 10 minutes you delayed me. Pay me or don't even think about leaving! If I don't teach you a lesson, you will really think that Harrington Family is a soft persimmon!"

I was so angry that I almost couldn't catch my breath.

Pointing at my nose, I said coldly:

"Compensation? Me?"

"You must be mistaken. You broke my things. I didn't ask you to apologize or compensate me, but you dare to blackmail me?"

"Where's Theo? Tell him to come down and see me! I want to see what he's become. He didn't make much money, but he quickly forgot his roots!"

The other party's face turned cold instantly, and he raised his foot and stepped on the cardboard box repeatedly.

"Theo is my husband, even if he comes he will speak for me!"

"Who do you think you are? You're just a poor bastard. Don't even mention that I have any feelings for Theo. Even if I don't, half of his Harrington Family's business is supported by my Lancaster Consortium! Ask him, does he dare to break up with me?"

It turns out that this is what is called a socialite in the circle.

Seeing that there were several holes in the parts under the high heels, I also got angry.

He rushed forward, pushed the man away, and roared:

"What celebrity? I think your character is worse than that of a stray dog! Theo is really blind to choose a wife like you. You are the one who is crazy because you are poor!"
