Chapter 978

Yesterday, Marilyn used to look down on this elderly man because he was poor. Little did she know that he was a billionaire.

I wonder what her expression will be when she discovers the truth.

A Chevrolet pulled up at the entrance of the Crimson Banner Hotel. As Emmanuel stepped out of the car, he heard a request from the passenger seat.

“Manuel, I can’t open this car door.”

As the door opened, the wind at the hotel entrance made Queenie’s pink skirt flutter.

“Oh-”

Queenie quickly held down her skirt, but those smooth, beautiful legs, along with a fleeting scenic view, briefly entered Emmanuel’s mind.

This unexpected sight made his heart race.

Emmanuel was momentarily speechless, though not anxious.
