At the bottom of Cherry Blossom Community.
Kate and Madison had just arrived, and there, they found a large crowd gathered in the middle of the road.
Curious about the commotion, Madison Ford decided to check it out.
She saw a Maserati parked calmly in the middle of the crowd.
All the onlookers were talking about it.
"Wow, this car is too cool!"
"I wonder whose car that is."
"Must cost an arm and a leg, definitely."
...
"Of course! This is a Maserati MC12. It costs over ten million dollars. That's not really cheap now, is it?"
In the middle of the crowd, a chubby young man was talking as if the Maserati was his.
"Alright, everyone. Listen up. Don't touch this car. If you damage it, you'll go bankrupt because you won't be able to afford the repairs."
When they first heard his tone, the residents truly believed the Maserati was his.
"Oh, young man! I didn't think you could be so wealthy at such a young age."
"Auntie will be honest with you—my family has an unmarried daughter!"
"My family also has a daughter. She's even still a virgin."
"Unfortunately, my family doesn't have a daughter to offer you. But young man, if you think I have a chance with you, I'd divorce my old partner right away."
Leo Larden made no effort to clarify his stance.
He felt like a star, becoming the center of attention. It was a kind of exhilarating feeling, unmatched.
However, he wasn't interested in the older aunties and their daughters.
Leo Larden already had someone in mind he was interested in.
It was Kate Ford, who lived in the same unit as him.
She was a kind of lofty goddess.
She was five feet tall and looked like an immortal from some heavenly realm. In a country full of beauties, she looked exceptionally sexy.
What a shame she already had a husband.
On top of that, it was so insulting to know her husband was little more than a leech who didn't even work. He would even have that noble goddess serve him food and drinks all day.
After thinking about this for a bit, Leo Larden began to get a little angry. He thumped his chest, wondering why the goddess wouldn't treat him that way.
...
Returning from the hustle and bustle of the commotion, Madison, with an emotional voice, said to Kate,
"Sis, there's a luxury car worth ten million dollars parked over there."
"And? Doesn't that have nothing to do with us?"
Kate wasn't like ordinary women.
Although she liked the idea of luxury cars and mansions, they weren't hers. In that way, she didn't covet them.
She wouldn't show envy and hatred towards those who had such things.
Madison cocked her little head.
"I'm quite curious who the owner of this car is. I can't imagine a wealthy person living here in this old community."
Madison continued to add,
"However, there's one thing we can be sure of, and that's the fact it's not my leech brother-in-law's."
Although she disliked Madison constantly bad-mouthing Charlie, Kate couldn't really dispute that statement.
She knew Charlie wasn't capable of affording it.
The two of them continued walking towards the apartment complex they lived in.
There, a man cut in front of them.
He was six feet tall. His eyebrows were sharp and his eyes sparkled like stars. He was extremely handsome; you might think such a beautiful appearance was illegal.
When Kate saw him, she smiled like a blooming flower. She immediately took the initiative to greet him.
Charlie was about to speak, but he saw Madison behind her. When he glanced back at Kate in front of him, his whole body froze stiff.
What is this... situation?
Why are there two Kates?
Did his wife become two people?
Twin sisters, perhaps...?
Is this another gift from the system?
Kate could understand Charlie's confusion.
That was because this wasn't the first time something like this had happened. They looked so much like twins that such situations happened quite often during their childhood.
So, Kate said, "Charlie, let me introduce you to my younger sister. This is Madison."
Ah, so it turned out to be his sister-in-law.
Although married to her for two years, Charlie hardly knew anything about Kate's family.
If they hadn't just met now, he would never have guessed Kate had a younger sister.
However, Madison, even after this first impression, began to feel mesmerized.
Her eyes bubbled with a peachy heart. She was truly stunned. She began to drool like a woman caught in a nymphomaniac's lust.
Oh my God.
He's such a handsome man, no wonder why her sister treated him like a priceless treasure.
Her thoughts about him were already spinning.
But Madison came to her senses, and she was self-aware.
What's the use of being handsome again?
Could his looks be used to provide food for her sister?
Her sister still had to support him.
Living conditions like that were not ideal at all.
Of course it wasn't good to let this continue.
Madison peered into Charlie's eyes, which were now sharpening their own gaze.
Charlie could sense hostility within his sister-in-law.
Kate had to intercept and soften the situation, and she did so by asking, "Charlie, why did you come down?"
"I wanted to come down to pick you up. I have something else to pick up on the way, too."
"You need to pick something up?"
"Well, I need to pick up my new car. My new car should have arrived by now."
Kate was startled. "A car? You really bought a car?"
Charlie made no attempt to hide the fact. He said, "It should be there. Come with me, I'll show you."
Hearing all this, Madison was stunned.
They were going to pick up a car?
It was probably bought using her sister's support, she believed. Where else would the leech brother-in-law get money to buy a car, huh?
This was all just for show!
Madison also decided to tag along.
She was ready to expose Charlie so he would be truly embarrassed in front of her sister.
In the middle of the crowd of onlookers.
Leo Larden was still going on about the Maserati he supposedly owned.
Because he really liked cars, and he knew more than a thing or two, he could easily sell that fantasy to all the old men and women gathered there.
Suddenly, from a distance, Leo Larden saw the goddess and her husband approaching the commotion.
He was so excited, he was ready to use the presence of the Maserati MC12 to put on a good show of himself, and see if he could win Kate Ford's heart and respect.
When the time came, there was a chance he could replace Charlie by her side.
Leo Larden deliberately exaggerated the car's behavior and performance, explaining everything he could about the Maserati's qualities. He had to do it, just in case Kate wasn't aware of it.
But then, suddenly, another voice was heard.
"Please make way."
He stared at Charlie, who had interrupted him.
Darn.
What was that little brat doing?
Couldn't he see he was talking?
Leo Larden's heart raced at high speed. But he gave a fake smile and said, "Dude, what are you doing?"
"You're blocking my way into the car."
Into the car?
Leo Larden was a little confused.
Could it be that the Maserati behind him was Charlie Pace's?
How could that be possible?
Everyone in the entire building unit knew Charlie was just a leech.
He just stayed home all day, while his wife went out and worked.
"Dude, don't joke about this. This car is mine," Leo Larden said slowly.
In his mind, he was sure the car's owner wasn't Charlie.
He was just a leech, so it was impossible he could afford such a luxurious car.
So, by continuing to act like this, he could mess up Charlie's appearance in everyone else's eyes, and make himself look better in the eyes of the important goddess.
The car's real owner probably wouldn't appear for a while longer, he thought.
Pretending to be the owner for a little while shouldn't be too much of a problem.
"Yeah, this handsome new guy! What do you mean he's blocking your way? This car, quite clearly, belongs to the chubby guy."
"That's right. We can all testify to this."
The old aunties who were captivated by Leo Larden's fanciful talk were willing to speak on his behalf. They all mistakenly believed the car was Leo's.
Charlie didn't say a single word. He just laughed, took out the key fob, and then pressed the button.
The Maserati MC12 beeped. And then, Charlie opened the door and got in.
This scene immediately stunned everyone present.
