The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
With Husband 631

Chapter 631

"Not your boyfriend?" Felix was confused.

That was until he heard Nancy's voice, barely audible as she murmured, "Husband."

Felix blinked. "What's the difference?"

Nancy mustered the courage to look up and explain, "If I say boyfriend, it makes him think there's still a chance. But a husband will completely shut him down."

Ah, so that was her plan-quite thorough.

"Alright."

At the domestic arrivals gate of Aleshire Airport, the passing crowd couldn't help but take a second look.

Two rows of men in black suits stood in formation. At the front, a young man with slicked- back hair held a large bouquet of roses. He was decently good-looking and was clearly waiting for someone.

Some sharp-eyed observers noticed his wristwatch-a Patek Philippe-and, combined with the entourage, it was clear he was someone wealthy. In Dragonia, there was a saying, The rich in Aleshire were the real rich, while everyone else was just playing pretend". "Isn't that Ronald Sullivan, the second heir of Unity Holdings?"

"Now that you mention it, it really is him!"

"Poor girl-whoever she is. She's about to get unlucky."

"Exactly! That guy's a pro at chasing girls, but he always gets bored after a few days."

Those who recognized him spoke in hushed tones, quickly distancing themselves from the

scene.

Ronald suddenly adjusted his slicked-back hair and strode forward with a smile. "Cici, welcome to Aleshire."

His smile froze the next moment when he saw Nancy walking out with her arm linked with Felix's. Her face radiated happiness, nearly overflowing with joy.

"Ronald, I told you not to pick me up. We've always just been regular classmates. But since you're here, let me introduce you. This is my husband, Felix Zeller."

Felix glanced at the bouquet of roses and quipped, "I know my Cici is amazing. I'm proud that people admire her. But please, keep it under control. She's a married woman now." Ronald forced a smile and laughed. "Cici, come on. Do you really think you can fool me with some random actor? Don't kid yourself.

"You know my feelings for you are genuine. If it weren't for my dad making me take over a branch company, I'd have gone to Canraville long ago to keep pursuing you.

"This trip of yours to Aleshire to study? It's destiny. My schedule is clearing up, too. Be my girlfriend, and I promise to spend the rest of my life loving you."

After his speech, Ronald turned to Felix, his eyes full of menace. "Kid, I don't care how much Cici paid you to act the part. Here's five thousand dollars. Take it and get lost." One of his men stepped forward, holding a wad of cash-clearly five thousand dollars. "An actor? Your imagination is impressive," Felix replied calmly. "Sorry, but we're leaving now. And please, stop bothering Nancy. Otherwise, I won't be so polite next time."

Before Felix could say more, Ronald's men had already stepped forward to block their path. "You've got one last chance," Ronald said, his voice cold. "Refuse, and not only will you miss out on the money, but you'll also face even bigger problems. You know what I mean.' Just as Felix was about to respond, Nancy spoke up, clearly angry, "What's wrong with you? I'm married! What more do you want? Fine! You think my husband is just some actor? How about this?"

With both hands, Nancy grabbed Felix by the face and kissed him on the lips.

"Still think he's an actor?"

Ronald snapped. He finally believed it.

Nancy had always been the quiet, reserved type in college-never dated and extremely conservative about such matters. If Felix really were an actor, holding hands would've been the limit. But a kiss? That was out of the question. Today's Bonus Offer
