“Aren’t we a couple? What exactly are we engaged in right now? Isn’t this a date?”


    Loraine diverted her gaze ufortably, evading his probing stare.


    “We’re simply sharing a meal… Anyway, Let’s move on to something else.”


    Marco simply smiled, not calling out Loraine’s tough facade. He gently sped her hand and continued


    their stroll.


    Suddenly, a woman beside them stumbled, letting out a delicate gasp, and was about to fall directly


    into Marco’s arms!


    Thousand Dors For…


    Marco was never the kind of man to show tender feelings for other women, except for Loraine.


    When an unfamiliar woman suddenly appeared from nowhere and intentionally threw herself into his


    arms, Marco sensed something fishy.


    Remembering Loraine’s dislike of him touching other women, he instinctively dodged the woman.


    As a result, the woman failed to make even the slightest physical contact with him and she ended up


    stumbling and falling to the ground in an undignified manner.


    “Ah!” she screamed as she fell.


    The woman’s embarrassing fall raised a cloud of dust, but Marco instinctively reached out to protect the


    food Loraine was holding. He didn’t spare a nce for the woman on the ground.


    Loraine Looked at him in astonishment, then she turned her attention to the disheveled woman on the


    ground while trying her best to hold back herughter.


    Almost immediately, a crowd had gathered around them since they were in the center of the busy road.


    Considering Marco’s status, Loraine didn’t want to attract attention, so she decided to help the woman


    up. “Miss, are you okay?” she asked her.

    But the woman immediately pushed off Loraine’s hand and red at her fiercely.


    “What business is it of yours if I’m okay or not? Do you know who I am?”


    Loraine shook her head.

    Frankly, she had no idea who the woman was, but judging from her attire, it seemed she came from an


    affluent family background. Yet,


    Loraine couldn’t match her with any prominent figure in Vagow’s social circles. Moreover, those rich


    and influential elites usually looked down on ces Like this, so they wouldn’t be here in the first ce.


    “Well, of course, someone like you, a poor woman whoes to a street market, wouldn’t know who I


    am,” the woman spat at her angrily. “But let me tell you, I am Saylor Shaw. My family is very rich. We


    just got a huge amount ofpensation money for three of our properties that were demolished, and


    we have enough money to buy half this street!”


    But she’d hardly finished the statement when some people nearby began to gossip about her in audible


    whispers, “Isn’t she just a nouveau riche from a demolitionpensation fund? What’s there to boast


    about?”


    “This woman is just spoiled. Her family got the demolitionpensation, and now she thinks she’s


    noble enough to look down on this ce. If she’s so rich, why doesn’t she buy a house in the CBD with


    her so-called fortune? I’m sure she can’t even afford a toilet there.”


    Loraine overheard thements, and so did Saylor whose face had now turned red with anger. It


    didn’t help that her designer clothes had been stained by the dust, making her look far lower than how


    she wished to look.
