Money Only to Burn

chapter 23

As soon as Cyril sat down, he took out an antique and delicate box and handed it to Rainee.

"Rainee, this is for you."

"What's this?" Rainee was very happy. This was the first time he had received a gift from Cyril.

"Open up and you'll know." Cyril smiled.

Rainee nodded and opened the wooden box. Inside was a purple jade bracelet.

"It was a purple jade bracelet. Very beautiful!" Rainee liked him very much, and her eyes were full of joy. He immediately wears it.

Cyril was delighted when he saw how happy Rainee was. However, Fern, who was sitting at the side, could not help but ridicule him.

"I don't understand why you're so happy. I can't believe you prefer an old jade bracelet over a Cartier rose gold bracelet.

Of course, he did not know that the jade bracelet was an antique from a princess, worth 50 thousand dollars.

Fern's mood is bad. Ever since Cyril joined them, some friends and relatives came full of curiosity. They are shocked that Cyril is Rainee's boyfriend.

But when they learn that Cyril is a poor man from the countryside, they suddenly lose interest and show contempt.

Fern is very unhappy that this is now the main topic of gossip in the family.

"Have you heard? Rainee has a poor boyfriend from the countryside, and Tyler's OK with it! That's so funny!

"really? Rainee is so beautiful. Why would he settle for such a poor man?"

"Who knows? I also heard that Tyler's money was tied up in a new land acquisition. The company's going bankrupt."

"Well, shit for them. Did you see Fern's expression? He usually likes to show off, but not anymore! "

Relatives and so-called friends do not feel sympathy and refuse to help. It's just another spectacle.

Fern can't take it anymore. He suppressed his anger and turned to Cyril.

"Cyril, I want to talk to you in private."

Fern's self-esteem was hurt because he was never ridiculed like this in front of these people.

"OK on." Cyril nodded then followed Fern out. They walked into the enclosed area and Fern said frankly.

"Cyril, I hope you did the right thing and left my daughter. You're no match for him.

Cyril's confused. Rainee's mother's turn persuaded him to surrender. However, he would never leave Rainee, no matter what.

"I will not leave him," he said firmly.

"Rainee is the most beautiful in our clan, while she has the poorest boyfriend. It's so embarrassing. Why are you doing this to us?" Fern was so angry he was going to explode.

"I'll work hard. I'm now the department manager. Give me some time, and I'll succeed, "A resolute Cyril replied.

"Cyril, I know you're capable. It's not easy for you to be a manager in the three years after graduation. But the reality is that you don't have a good family background, and important connections in this day and age. Even if you work so hard, you won't be able to compete with those who are born rich."

Fern paused for a moment and continued. "Do you know York? He likes Rainee. He has billions of dollars! And his family is one of the richest families in Chinsy. How long do you have to work to earn billions of dollars? I'm sorry but you two are incomparable."

"Well, you're right. We are both incomparable. The York family will never have as much as me, no matter how hard they work, " answered Cyril lightly. As far as he knows, the family is second class.

Fern was furious when he heard Cyril bragging.

"Cyril, stop bragging. That's what I like most about you. Here is a check of 33 thousand dollars. Take it and leave Rainee quietly."

Looks like Fern has already prepared the check. He took it out of his wallet and handed it to Cyril to open his mouth but did not know what to say.

She did not expect that he would give her the money and ask her to leave.

But then, he decided to give her a gift instead of explaining it to her. He believes money speaks!

"Thank you, but I won't take the money," Cyril said as he pulled out a checkbook from his pocket and wrote 1.5 million on it. Then he tore it up and gave it to Fern.

"It costs 1.5 million dollars, a gift for you for our first meeting. You'll know what I'm saying is the truth."

Fern dumbfounded. He never thought that Cyril would act like this in front of him. He was sure Cyril was fooling him.

"Cyril, you disappoint me too much. I'll never let you be with Rainee because you don't deserve her.

Although her mood was good, Cyril was a little unhappy when she heard it, so she responded.

"As the saying goes, the world revolves, and what happens around, comes around. It's not smart to bully people you think are inferior, because one day the table might turn against you."

Cyril put the check into Fern's hand before he returned to the room.

Seeing the check, Fern got angry.

After returning to the room, Cyril was surprised to see Hatcher there. As a leading figure in Chinsy and the leader of the top group DH Enterprises, his performance instantly aroused the attention of everyone.

Many people swarmed over him and wanted to make a toast, but he ignored him. Instead, he's just a toast to Sam, the birthday man. Hatcher was Sam's student, but that was a long time ago.

Hatcher's here to check out the Grand Hotel. When she finds out it's Sam's birthday, she immediately comes to toast him.

"Mr Chambers, I'm Richard Hinton, Professor Hinton's third son. It's nice to meet you.

"Mr Chambers, I'm Richmond Hinton, Professor Hinton's eldest son, if you want my help, I'll gladly give it to you."

Sam's children struggle to get close to Hatcher. Sam's other students also insisted on a toast. After getting drunk with the most famous art expert Chinsy will be something they will be proud of for a long time.

"Sorry everyone. Mr. Chambers is very busy. " Hatcher's personal assistant and bodyguard stopped them.

After Hatcher finished his toast to Sam, he was ready to leave.

However, he suddenly saw Cyril standing in the corner.

He was shocked, and his face was full of excitement.

"Excuse me!" Hatcher, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and walked back. He pushed the crowd and walked in.

Everyone on the scene was curious about what he was doing.

Everyone's eyes followed him.

While Hatcher was walking quickly, he did not forget to tidy up his clothes that had been pulled by the crowd just now.

Soon, Hatcher came to Cyril respectfully and greeted her with a smile.

"Mr Woodley, I didn't know you were here. I'm sorry."Hatcher quickly called Cyril Mr. Woodley because Cyril had told him not to reveal his identity. He also personally poured a glass of wine for Cyril, looking very respectful.

However, it shocked everyone on the scene. They were so dumbfounded that they could not say a word.

The room suddenly became very quiet.

Fern, who was standing in front of the door, saw this scene. Without a doubt, she gets to know Hatcher, an important figure in Chinsy.

She could not believe her eyes when she saw Hatcher turn around and pour wine for Cyril.

"When did he know Mr Chambers?" Fern wondered.

Rainee's relatives were even more shocked than Fern. Their eyes were wide open, jaws were falling.

"Isn't this guy supposed to be Rainee's poor boyfriend?"

"Mr Chambers poured wine for him! How did that happen?

"Maybe he mistook her for someone else?"

Some people start speculating. They were all lost in an uncertain state, and they even surrounded Cyril to see what was going on.

Cyril calmed down, unaware of the crowd around him.

"Mr Chambers, it's my honor."

"It's my job to do this for Mr. Woodley." Hatcher doesn't dare to be too considerate, or they'll find out. He didn't want to be blamed by Cyril.

After the two of them toast each other, Hatcher suddenly saw Rainee who was holding a friendly arm of Cyril.

"Mr Woodley, is this your girlfriend?" Hatcher asked.

Cyril did not reply, Tyler who was next to him said worriedly.

"Yes, he is. His name is Rainee Hinton. I'm her father, Tyler Hinton. "Tyler could finally interrupt.

I'm honored to speak to Mr. Chambers Chinsy.

Cyril also nodded and agreed to this. Even though he only promised Rainee to be his one-day girlfriend, it still holds true.

"I understand. Your daughter is so beautiful! "

Hatcher did not dare to ignore Cyril's girlfriend and her father, so she immediately issued DH Enterprises' gold membership card to Rainee.

"This is a gold membership card. You can get a 50% discount on any DH Enterprises expenditure."

As soon as he finished speaking, all of his female friends with DH Enterprises eyes had industries in all walks of life, such as hotels, entertainment, real estate, catering, internet, and so on.

Not everyone can get a super gold card. A 50% discount card is a mark of class.

"I'm so jealous" they thought.

Hinton other young women were envious when they saw Rainee had obtained a super gold card.

Rainee turned to look at Cyril as if she was asking if she should take it or not.

Looking at the expression of desire in her eyes, Cyril smiled and said, "Take it."

After obtaining Cyril's approval, Rainee happily took the card.

Later, Hatcher took out a business card from her pocket and handed it to Rainee's father.

"Mr Hinton, this is my business card. Call me if you need anything."

Tyler was so excited to see Hatcher give him a business card. She was confused and stood motionless for a while until she suddenly realized that she had to give Hatcher a business card as well. So, he ransacked all his pockets, and he finally found one.

"Mr Chambers, this is my card."

Tyler's brother and sister all felt jealous when they saw Tyler exchanging business cards with Hatcher. Of course, that's what they want to do. But they never thought Tyler, whom they hated, would be able to do it someday.

"Mr Woodley, I'll go first. Have a nice day. " After saying goodbye to Cyril, Hatcher turned around and left in a hurry.

After Hatcher left, the people around him regained consciousness and surrounded Cyril and Tyler.

"Tyler, you're amazing!" Richard was the first to speak, with a glass in his hand, toast to Tyler.

"Tyler, we're brothers!" Richmond won't come. Jocelyn, Tyler's sister, also comes to talk to Tyler with her husband.

"And I'm your baby sister!"

With a glass in his hand, Tyler enjoys flattering feelings, though he is fed up with the licking behavior of his older brother and sister.

"That's all because my daughter found a poor boyfriend!" Tyler emphasized the word "poor" with a thunderous voice to humiliate them.

Tyler's brother and sister immediately looked embarrassed, but they immediately covered it up.

"Tyler, we're blind, but the truth is, you have good insight."

Richard was the most arrogant of the four brothers. Knowing no shame, he was the first to flatter.

Richmond and Jocelyn follow Richard in a flattery. Tyler was happy.

At the same time, Rainee was also surrounded by her cousins. They were envious of his gold card for his discounts and high-end symbols.

"Rainee, let's go shopping someday!"

"A good idea! We haven't been shopping with you in a long time, Rainee!

"We can go to Jlem Entertainment Club. I heard it's the most luxurious club in Chinsy. With the Rainee card, we'll only get a 50% discount%."

They're all handsome, but Rainee's prettier.

"One day when I'm in a good mood!" Rainee raised her head proudly and acted cool, which made Cyril smile.

Sam, the key man of the Hinton family, walked over. Even though he was 80 years old, he still looked excited.

"Cyril Woodley? Come here, "said Sam. Everyone set their sights on Cyril once more as they heard Sam's voice.

Cyril walked towards him. Sam pulled Cyril's hand gently and looked at him closely. Sam nodded his head after researching.

"I believe in you. I was poor when I was young but look at me now. So, I'm sure you'll be successful someday as long as you work hard and don't look down on yourself.

What Sam said embarrassed the crowd. They were born rich, but their father or grandfather went from ragged to rich.

"Sit down next to me!" Say Sam and pull Cyril's hand. Everyone was surprised and impressed.

York looked ferocious when he saw what he disliked.

"All right, let's wait and see. I'll see how you fool yourself later," she said.
