I said pitifully, “Mr. Gresham, how do you want to compensate? Please don’t dock my pay!” Great, I’ve successfully piqued his interest.
Charles Gresham lowered his head, his voice a whisper in my ear. “Give me a kiss, and I’ll let
it slide.”
“No way. Just dock my pay then. I thought, “Whatever, it’s only three thousand anyway. I’ve got other ways to make money now, I don’t nood It.”
But who knew, Charles Gresham became even more interested in me.
He tilted my chin up, scrutinizing me. “Eva Lynn, you’re not only curvier than Letitia Sue, but you’re prettier too. I must have been blind not to notice before.”
The moment Charles Gresham finished speaking, Letitia Sue emerged from the Villa, her
clothes in disarray.
She overheard Charles Gresham talking to me and immediately flew into a jealous rage: “Eva
Lynn, how low can you stoop? You’re just a little gardener; what makes you think you can seduce
Charles Gresham?”
Charles Gresham cast a cold glance at Letitia Sue. “Letitia Sue, aren’t you the one acting cheap? What were you just doing?”
“L. I didn’t do anything.” Letitia Sue blushed, trying to conceal a check for a million dollars
behind her back.
Her hair was disheveled, her face flushed, and mosquito bites dotted her neck.
Charles Gresham isn’t blind, you know.
“Take this million and get lost. Don’t ever show your face around me again.” Charles Gresham turned his gaze from Letitia Sue back to me.
He stroked my girlfriend,
cheek and said to Letitia Sue, “Allow me to introduce you to my n
Eva Lynn.”
Letitia Sue lost it, turning on me. Charles Gresham, don’t be fooled by this manipulative woman! I was only trying to borrow money from you tonight. Eva Lynn deliberately had Ryan Gresham impersonate you….. Waaah, I was deceived too!”

Letitia Sue’s crying was so convincing; if I hadn’t eavesdropped earlier, I would have fallen for
Ryan Gresham emerged from the villa, scoffing, “Letitia Sue, you certainly didn’t
mispronounce my name just now.”
That was a quick turnaround; Letitia Sue’s face flushed crimson and then paled.
Wiping her tears, she tried to salvage the situation: “My dad’s still in the operating room waiting for me to bring the money to save him, Charles. I’ll explain later.”
Letitia Sue practically fled the Gresham Family villa.

After Letitia Sue left, Ryan Gresham looked at me and said, “Brother, I’m sorry about earlier. It was my fault. I’ll give Letitia back to you, but don’t touch Eva Lynn. I’m planning to pursue her.”

Huh? What game is Ryan Gresham playing now?
Charles Gresham frowned. “Ryan, you’ve always liked to snatch things from me since you
were little. I can let you have anything else, including Letitia Sue.”
With that, he pulled me into his arms, staking his claim to Ryan Gresham. “But Eva has
already caught my eye, so don’t even think about coveting her.”
I was completely dumbfounded. Uh, this is awkward.
Shouldn’t you guys
be fighting over the female lead? Why are you trying to snatch me, a
completely disposable tool? Does that even make sense?
“Bro.” Ryan Gresham started to say, but Charles Gresham cut him off, taking my hand and leading me toward the north side of the Garden.
Moonlight crept up the branches, giving the Garden a hazy, ethereal beauty.
The north side of the Garden was planted with all sorts of fruits: cherries, longan, lychee,
kumquats, and strawberries.
Charles Gresham pointed to the various fruits on the branches, asking what I’d like to eat.
I was a little hesitant.
Charles Gresham suddenly asked, “Do you know what I’m worth?”
I knew Charles Gresham had more money than he could ever spend, so I tentatively asked *Tens of billions?”
“More than that.” Charles Gresham plucked a cherry and offered it to me. “Be my girlfriend, and you can get a million in pocket money just for eating a cherry. Tempted?”
