Everyone needed emotional validation, especially someone like jeremy, who had always been thirsty for attention. The last time he went to the black market, everyone iped him. For several stall owners would only glance at him and then look

Jermy was very dissatisfied with their amide. Their looks seemed to assume he couldn’t afford anything, But that night, everyone’s attitude had changed drastically, which provided him with a great deal of emotional validation

Hence, he was coated into spending more than he had budgeted

When he left the market, he hurriedly took the things he had bought and went to the Holmes family’s residence to find vomeone to appraise them.

However, he didn’t run into Wendly today, but lan, who had lent him money. “Mr. Holmes Jeremy ran over excitedly and then mysteriously pulled lan into a room.

“What are you doing? Just got back from shopping?”

fan knew the answer to his question. He knew about Jeremy’s activities at the market last night and that he had bought bunch of junk. However, he was putting on a good act for now.

“Stop joking, Mr. Holmes. Come in and help me with something Caught up in his excitement, Jeremy didn’t notice anything amiss. He placed the items he had bought on the table and carefully opened the boxes.

After opening all the boxes, he pushed them towards Tan without a word, looking at him expectantly Ian knew what he meant. He crossed his arms, and a smirk appeared on his lips. “Why are you showing me this junk?” He asked deliberately.

Jeremy’s voice filled with heartbreak. He shook his head in denial, trying to argue. “How can they be junk?”

But when he looked up and saw lan’s cheerful smile, he swallowed his argument. “Mr. Holmes, I used your money to buy these. You’re not lying to me, are you? If they’re junk, why are you sailing so happily?”

His train of thoughts was truly baffling–but also strangely logical.

It just so happened that lan had deep pockets.

His grin widened, becoming lethally charming. “I never lack money. Consider the money you spent just now as my way to make you see how naive you are.”

Hearing this, Jeremy was silent. This wasn’t funny to him.

Jan’s attitude felt him dubious. Coupled with his inability to accept this reality, he gathered his things and sought out others
