Chapter 93

My dad panicked immediately and quickly grabbed Reynaldo's arm, saying, "Reynaldo, let's talk it out again. Even if Dad can't earn the money, consider that 30 million as a loan."

"Borrow?" Reynaldo glanced at me and asked my dad with a slight smile, "And what will you give in return? I am not a philanthropist, let alone a fool!"

When he said the last sentence, he suddenly glanced at me, his eyes cold and icy, with a hint of mockery.

My heart trembled slightly.

So, he believed that the reason I had asked him for money before was because I thought he was a fool.

After hearing Reynaldo’s words, my dad finally believed that Reynaldo would not help him this time.

The pleasing expression on my father’s face faded in an instant, and his tone lost the politeness and flattery he had just shown.

He angrily said to Reynaldo, “No matter what, I used to be your father-in-law. Even if you are divorced from my daughter now, the previous relationship still exists, and I am still your elder. I was just asking you to lend me thirty million, why did you have to say such harsh words? Are you afraid that I won’t be able to pay it back?"

Reynaldo chuckled and brushed away my dad’s hand, his tone tinged with sarcasm. “Just like your daughter said earlier, I’m just an outsider. Since you can handle the matter yourselves, go ahead and solve it on your own. Don’t bother me anymore!”

"That was all nonsense she was talking; she herself is thin-skinned and embarrassed to ask you directly, that’s why she said you are an outsider. Even if you two divorced, in Dad’s heart, you are still the best son-in-law in our family. In the future, even if Ralda remarries, that man will never compare to even one finger of yours."

I was infuriated as I listened on the side.

I thought my dad had already understood Reynaldo’s refusal, and even if he had no face or skin, he wouldn’t continue to pester.

Little did I know, he was once again brown-nosing Reynaldo. I still remember when I just got married to Reynaldo, my father used to belittle Reynaldo and even said that Reynaldo being able to marry me was all thanks to our ancestors‘ blessings. What’s more, if that thing hadn’t happened, Reynaldo wouldn’t even be worthy of fetching my shoes.

Look, see how he has become so eager to please Reynaldo now.

I no longer recognize my father completely now; it feels like he has completely changed as a person.

I pulled my dad’s arm, and he impatiently shook me off, then looked at Reynaldo with an expectant expression on his face, hoping that Reynaldo would lend him thirty million dollars because of his flattering words.

How is that possible?

As Reynaldo said, he was not a fool.

No one could ever take him for a fool!

Reynaldo did not immediately refuse my dad, but instead looked at me.

He smiled at me gently and slowly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

He said, “Your dad just said that if you remarry in the future, any man you find will not be as good as one finger of mine.”

My dad quickly nodded in agreement beside me, “Yes, yes, no one can compare to you.”

Reynaldo ignored my father, his cold and dark eyes staring at me without blinking.

“And you, do you agree with what he said?”

I furrowed my brows, not understanding why he was asking me.

I took a slight breath and said softly, “When a person becomes successful, it is normal to hear a lot of flattery and sycophantic words, but if that person takes them seriously…”

“So, you didn’t agree with what your dad said, and you think he was just buttering me up so that I would lend him money?” Reynaldo immediately interrupted me with a smile, but his eyes narrowed coldly.

My dad quickly pulled me and said to him, “No, it’s not true, definitely not true. This girl just can’t let go of her pride to praise someone. What I said just now was all sincere, not flattery."

“Is it the truth or flattery? You are so smart, you should be able to tell,” I said to Reynaldo indifferently.

Reynaldo smirked, nodding his head, his tone extremely cold: “Yes, I can tell, so in your heart, even if I become successful, I still can’t compare to other men, right?”

I furrowed my brows heavily, unable to understand how he had brought it up again.

My dad was extremely anxious and quickly explained that I didn’t mean it that way.

But Reynaldo didn’t want to listen anymore.

He was originally very impatient and disliked seeing me from the beginning.
