After | interrupted Felicia, | shook my head at her. These people were clearly leeches. Flaunting wealth in front of
them would only make them latch on harder.
Felicia and | would be fine since they wouldn't bother us when we got back to the university. However, Mrs.
Cylon's life would likely becdifficult once she returned.
As such, enduring a few humiliating comments was nothing. Letting them brag a bit wouldn't change anything
substantial.
| had long stopped caring about such gossip. | could tolerate it if they didn't pick on Felicia or Mrs. Cylon.
Seeing my reaction, Felicia swallowed back her words.
Mrs. Brown cast a hateful glare at Felicia, clearly holding a grudge against her.
Mrs. Cylon was always respectful toward Mrs. Brown, while Felicia had already snapped back at her several
times. Naturally, she wasn't pleased.

"Let's just go. We should already be tired from all that food and wine. Let's head to our hotel to rest."
When we got outside, Mrs. Brown and her two companions immediately spotted Hilton Hotel across the street,
prompting them to start clamoring.
"Wow, isn't that the Hilton Hotel that we often see on TV? | heard that it's a five- star hotel! Louis, where did you
book our stay? Did you book us at the Hilton?"
Louis chuckled awkwardly, his expression clearly filled with aversion.
He probably thought that he was already generous enough to treat them to an expensive meal, yet they were
expecting him to book them a five-star hotel as well. They should aim for the stars at this rate.
Besides, the meal that was originally budgeted at two to three thousand dollars had ballooned to over 18
thousand dollars.
Now that Louis was deeply in debt, hearing such shameless and greedy demands only made him feel worse.

Veronica probably noticed his bad mood because she quickly tried to smooth things over. "Mom, my boyfriend
originally planned to book the Hilton for you, but this guy insisted on repaying you for bringing Felicia's mother
here. So, we let him handle the booking."
"Him?"
When their gazes turned to me, Mrs. Brown and her companions revealed expressions of utter disdain.
"What kind of hotel could someone like him book for us? It had better not be sroach-infested motel Young
man, lettell you that just because I'm from a small town doesn't mean | don't know quality when | see it.
"I've been to Cyelar and stayed in grand hotels. | have high standards! If you booked scheap motel, |
absolutely won't stay there."
When | heard her, | couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry, Mrs. Brown. | didn't book the hotel just for you. Since
Mrs. Cylon will also be staying there, how could | possibly mistreat you all? Let's go."
On the way to the hotel, we took separate cars.

Felicia, Mrs. Cylon, and | were in one car leading the way while the others followed in another.
I had no idea what they were gossiping about in their car, but judging by the even more disdainful looks Mrs.
Brown and the others gavewhen we arrived, it was clear that Louis had spent the ride badmouthing me.
| could already guess what he said. He probably calledthe usual trifecta—a show-off, a broke guy, and a guy
who wore knock-offs.
| could picture it all without hearing a single word from them, but I couldn't care less at this point.
| had already asked Victor to make the arrangements and not to do anything grand since | didn't want to flaunt
my wealth in front of Mrs. Cylon.
Nevertheless, the hotel manager wasn't clueless. It was clear to him that | wasn't just anybody since Victor had
personally instructed him and booked us the best suites. Hence, the manager cout with his staff to greet me
at the entrance. Céntent
| had no choice but to step forward and exchange a few words with them.
"Alright. This is a private trip. We don't want to be disturbed. Please head inside and assign a staff to assist us."
