    Chapter 1547


    Belinda would’ve normally had a biting retort for this odd duck, but with Chase there, she felt inhibited.


    She lowered her eyes and remained silent.


    Chase’s brow furrowed slightly. “So why did you agree to a blind date with a girl you clearly disdain?”


    Dominic sat down with a smug grin. “Her mother was going around asking people to introduce suitors


    for her. My mom heard about it and asked me to meet her. I figured why not? There’s no harm in


    meeting her.”


    Chase smirked. “Oh? Is that so? So you came to take advantage of the situation?”


    Dominic nced at Belinda. “You can’t exactly put it that way. I’m doing her a favor. Otherwise, if word


    gets out that even the men her family introduces don’t want to meet her, she’ll never get married.”


    Chase scoffed. “Come off it, man! You’re just here because she’s attractive and well-off. You thought


    you could get something out of it. With your credentials, you could never attract a girl of her caliber on


    your own.”


    Dominic’s pride was wounded. “What did you say? My credentials arecking? On what grounds do


    you judge my credentials? I graduated from a prestigious overseas university. My mom says that in our


    country, you can’t find a man as outstanding as me. What’s your education level? What gives you the


    right to speak ill of my credentials?”


    Chase, with a gleam in his eyes, replied, “I don’t need to tell you about my education because I don’t


    need a degree to validate myself. In my experience, those fresh out of college who haven’t found good


    jobs are the ones who brag about their degrees. If I’m not mistaken, you probably don’t have a decent


    job, do you?”


    Dominic was dumbstruck. He had hit the nail on the head.


    He indeed didn’t have a decent job. After failing to find work overseas, he returned home, where his


    parents arranged some job trials, for him. But he didn’t feel like any of them were good enough, so he


    didn’t bother.


    What a joke! He was a graduate of a prestigious overseas university. He couldn’t possibly start from the


    bottom. That would be a waste of his talent. Chase, still smiling, said, “Mr. Dominic, I’ve met many high-


    achievers like you. Arrogant, mediocre, pushing thirty, and still living off their parents. You’re picky


    about jobs and women butck self-awareness. You don’t even know what you’re worth.”


    Dominic was fuming. He irately pointed at Chase. “You… you dare talk to me like that? What are you


    worth? You won’t even disclose your education. You’re just a pretty boy. How dare youpare


    yourself to me?”

    Chase,posed and graceful, took out a business card from his pocket and slid it across the table. “I


    am, of course, no high-endmodity. I’m merely a vice president of a publicly tradedpany. So, I


    don’t think I’m good enough for Belinda yet. I need to work harder.”


    Dominic looked at the high-quality business card in disbelief. The finely printed text read: Vice


    President of Crescent Society, Chase.


    Crescent Society?! He had definitely heard of it.


    A highly esteemed rising star. Apany that graduates from top universities would kill to work for.


    This man was Vice President of the Crescent Society?!


    A man of his stature, who was surrounded by beautiful women, would stoop to pursue Belinda, a


    woman past her prime?
