After hearing that, Madam Bella reacted immediately.
Winnie had already become a project manager in the Rolle Corporation now, so her status was certainly higher than Alger’s. It shouldn’t be difficult for her to buy these jewelry.
Madam Bella held Winnie’s hands and said, “Winnie, what exactly is going on? You didn’t really buy these jewelry yourself, did you? These are worth a few million dollars. With so much money, why did you buy these jewelry instead of a nice car?”
“Right!”
Mr. Dunne also looked at Winnie anxiously and said, “Besides, have you already received your commissions from your projects?”
Winnie looked at Madam Bella and Mr. Dunne speechlessly. “You’ve misunderstood. These are indeed gifts that Alger bought for me!”
“I don’t believe it. How could Alger have the ability to buy all these?” As soon as Winnie finished talking, Cyril Wells shouted with a sullen expression.
Cyril Wells couldn’t accept that Alger had stolen the limelight from him, especially in front of Winnie.
Besides, he came today mainly because of Madam Bella’s invitation. She said she would make Alger apologize to him and compensate him with a gift. And now, he still hadn’t heard Alger’s apology, and Alger’s light had already covered him up completely.
And comparatively, the gift he bought for Winnie now seemed like trash. At this point, how would Cyril Wells still have a shred of dignity?
“Why is it impossible?” Winnie looked at Cyril Wells in dissatisfaction. “Do I have to lie to you?”
“Winnie, these are nothing. You can only wear the jewelry, but they can’t give you any convenience. When I get back, I’ll buy you a luxurious car! Then, it’ll be more convenient for you when you go out.” In order to regain his dignity, Cyril Wells banged on the table and said confidently while looking at Winnie.
“That’s just right. Aren’t you unwilling to let me drive you because you are afraid that people would gossip? With a car, you don’t have to worry about this!”
“Car?”
Hearing this, Alger frowned and looked at Cyril Wells. Alger should be the one buying a car for Winnie. How would it be Cyril Wells’ business?
Cyril Wells treated Alger’s gaze as an admission of loss. He said complacently, “Right, your jewelry is nothing. Apart from flaunting them, they’re not useful to Winnie at all. Moreover, it’s getting colder and colder. Do you still want Winnie to take the bus or ride your motorcycle?”
After hearing that, Madam Bella gave a beaming smile. She looked at Cyril Wells and quickly said, “Master Cyril, are you serious? Then, I’ll thank you for Winnie. With a car, it’ll be much more convenient for Winnie to go out!
“Not like some other guy!” Madam Bella looked at Alger and reproached him, “He occupies Winnie, but never cares about her!”
“Mom, what are you talking about?” Winnie looked at Madam Bella with a slightly dissatisfied look.
“I like riding a motorcycle. You don’t have to buy me a car. Even if you do, I’ll not drive it!” Winnie looked at Cyril Wells and said.
“No, Winnie, I think they’re right. It’s getting colder. You indeed can’t keep taking the bus.” Alger suddenly looked at Winnie and said.
Winnie’s expression changed slightly and frowned as she looked at Alger. Did Alger hope that she could accept Cyril Wells’ present?
Cyril Wells sneered, then looked at Alger and said, “I’m glad you know yourself well. You know that you don’t have the ability to buy Winnie a car. If so, get your ass to the side and stay there obediently. I’m annoyed just by seeing you right now!”
Madam Bella also agreed and said, “That’s right, Alger. You’re truly a loser. Winnie must have gotten the bad luck of eight lifetimes marrying you. You’re not capable of buying your wife a car, and you even want to rely on other people to buy her one. I say Winnie should divorce you!”
Winnie frowned tight. Apparently, she was dissatisfied with what Alger said just then, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes.
She never minded if she had to take the bus or ride on a motorcycle, but after seeing Cyril Wells obviously humiliating him on purpose, Alger didn’t reject him and even asked her to accept it?
Winnie originally wanted to speak up for Alger, but she was sitting aside quietly now, not even glancing at Alger.
“You’ve misunderstood. Winnie is already a manager now. She indeed can’t keep taking the bus. So, I’ll buy her a car,” Alger looked at everyone else and said.
“What?”
As soon as he said that, Cyril Wells and Madam Bella were both startled. After realizing what he said, Cyril Wells immediately burst into laughter, as if he had heard a joke.
“Why are you pretending like you could buy Winnie a car? What car can you afford? I guess a car that’s only worth hundreds of thousands! Does a car like that match with Winnie’s identity?”
“Right, Alger, don’t mess around here. You should keep that car for yourself. It’ll be enough for Winnie to have the car that Cyril Wells buys her!” Madam Bella looked at Alger in dissatisfaction and shouted.
Winnie looked at Alger with a hint of apology in her eyes.
“I thought just then…”
“You thought what?” Alger looked at Winnie with a smile and said, “You’re my wife. How can I possibly let someone else buy you a car? If you need anything, I’ll buy it for you. Other people should not even think about it.”
“Hm!” A beaming smile appeared on Winnie’s face again.
When Cyril Wells saw this, he seemed like a singleton who had just been kicked by someone.
His expression immediately became sullen. He looked at Alger and shouted, “Alger, don’t bluff here. If you’re really capable, buy Winnie a car right now!”
“Oh, my silly girl, don’t be fooled by this kid’s sweet words!” Madam Bella grabbed Winnie’s hands as she frowned and said, “This kind of man only knows how to talk. He’s totally bluffing in front of you!
“With the money that Alger has, how can he be able to buy you a car? Even if he can, it’ll probably be a car that’s worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. It won’t be as good as Master Cyril’s!”
“So what? As long as it’s from Alger, I’ll like it no matter how much it’s worth. I don’t care even if it’s a second-hand car!” Winnie said in dissatisfaction.
“You damn girl, you’re really going to anger me to death!” Madam Bella was so angry that her face flushed. She pointed at Winnie and said, “Did Alger feed you with magic potion?”
“Auntie, Winnie is only being deceived right now. Don’t be mad at her. When she sees the car I buy for her, she won’t be like this.” Cyril Wells grabbed Madam Bella’s arm and said with a smile.
At the same time, he took the opportunity to create a good impression in front of Winnie. Unfortunately, Winnie didn’t even glance at him.
“I’ve told you that you don’t have to buy me a car. I won’t accept it. Please take your bracelet back as well.” Winnie put up a straight face as she looked at Cyril Wells with a frown and said.
Alger nodded and directly threw the bracelet to Cyril Wells. He said coldly, “Do you hear that clearly? Winnie said she doesn’t like your bracelet. How disgusting is it for you to take these diamonds out!”
“You…” Cyril Wells shouted furiously, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Alger.
“You what? Winnie doesn’t want your stuff. Instead, she doesn’t mind even if I give her a second-hand car.. Do you still not understand the difference between the two of us?” Alger looked at Cyril Wells and said in disdain, “Who do you think you are?”
