Chapter 117

Alex's expression remained calm, almost bored.

"Don't worry about me. What I do is none of your concern.

Marco's lip curled in disdain. "I figured. Better to bluff your way in than admit you don't belong,"

His voice softened as he turned to Jasmine, an oily charm coating his words.

"Listen, sweetheart, let me save you the headache. Don't be fooled by this guy- Alex is no trust fund prince. He's got nothing, and he sure as hell doesn't deserve a woman like you."

In Marco's mind, there was no way a rich, beautiful woman like Jasmine would willingly choose a down-on-his- luck man like Alex.

He had to have tricked her what other explanation could there be?

But Jasmine's laughter rang out-loud, unrestrained, and entirely unladylike.

It was the kind of laugh that made everyone in the room turn their heads.

It was as if she'd just heard the punchline of the funniest joke in the world.

Tears pricked the corners of her eyes as she struggled to catch her breath.

She borrowed a billion dollars from Alex, yet people still thought he was broke and jobless.

In reality, he was the miracle doctor known as "God's Hand." Everyone was searching for this man.

"Oh my goodness," Jasmine gasped between fits of laughter, her composure completely shattered.

The elegant woman they thought they knew was gone, replaced by someone carefree and wild with amusement.

Everyone stared, shocked.

Jasmine suddenly grabbed Alex's hand, gripping it tightly.

"So... he's poor and jobless, is he?" She giggled, leaning closer to him. "That just makes me want to stand even closer to him."

Marco blinked, thrown off by her response. He hadn't expected that.

"Honey, with your face and figure, you could marry into any mansion in the city," he said, trying to regain control.

"Why settle for living in a cardboard box with him?"

Jasmine's laughter renewed, spilling out uncontrollably. Marco's words only made him sound more ridiculous.

If only he knew.
