Chapter 71


    Reign’s eyes glinted a more mysterious light. “I cannot let the cat out of the bag”


    “Again? Why do you and Han like to y riddles? Tell me, what are you trying to do? Yvonne


    frowned as she stared at Reign.


    She had a feeling that Reign had a secret motive for giving Han a promotion and a raise.


    Reign shook her head and kept her mouth shut.


    Yvonnes heart sank.


    Based on her understanding of Reign, when Reign was silem, she must be cooking up a major n in


    her mind.


    It was very likely that Han would be implicated.


    Suddenly, she regretted it.


    If she had known that such a thing would happen when she invited Han over, she would not have let


    Han and Reign


    meet


    Reign said solemnly. “Vvie, don’t worry. I promise you nothing bad will happen to Han


    “And I also promise you I’ll make sure that Han wille to no harm no matter what happens.”


    Han had survived unscathed under heavy fire in a foreign war zone. So, Reign didn’t think anyone


    could hurt Han in the city.


    Yvonne stared at Reign in silence,


    In the living room on the first floor of the vi.


    Han walked past Lucas, making his way to the door.


    “Hmmm…


    Lucas mummediately whimpered when he saw Han.


    Han turned his head and asked. “You have something to say?”


    Lucas hurriedly nodded.


    Han touched Lucas’s body rapidly and thetter could speak again.


    “Mr. Jaber, wait, I am wrong. Please release the rest of the acupoints for me.” Lucas quickly pleaded.


    After standing for just twenty minutes, his heels were in great pain and he couldn’t stand it anymore.


    Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.


    Staying motionlessly was sometimes more tiring than strenuous exercise. He felt as if he could not


    breathe.


    After speaking. Lucas was stunned.


    “I can speak now?


    “Hayden has released the acupoint and let me speak!


    “My god!


    “His skill is so amazing. He is just like a martial hero!”


    Han said, “The acupoints will release automatically after four hours. You’re on your own now.”


    With a wave of Han hand, a powerful force sucked the silver needles out of Lucas’s acupoints. After


    that, Han left without looking back.


    “Four hours?


    “Han, I’ve realized my mistake. Come back.


    “Master, I’ll give you money. Release me.


    “Han, I won’t harass Queenie anymore. Pleasee back.”


    Lucas’s face darkened as he begged for mercy.


    He couldn’t even stand for twenty minutes. If he stood for four hours, he would be crippled.


    But no matter how hartl he shouted, Han didn’t turn back.


    Watching Han drive away, Lucas burst into tears.


    “I’m screwed!


    “How am I going to survive these four hours?


    “Han,e back!


    Just then, Yvonne walked down from the second floor.


    “Yvonne, it’s great to see you. Quickly move me to the couch. I want to lie down,” Lucas hurriedly said.


    Yvonne’s face fell. Not only did she not move him, but she also found some pushpins and scattered


    them around Lucas.


    Yvonne, what are you doing? Do you want to murder your own brother?” Lucas asked.


    “You were rude to Mr. Jaber and you even wanted to run away from home. You deserve to be


    punished. Just stand here to receive your punishment,” Yvonne said coldly.


    With that, she walked upstairs, leaving Lucas to his own devices.


    “Yvonne, I’ve realized my mistake, okay? I’m your brother. Can you bear to see me like this?” Lucas


    shouted.


    Unfortunately, Yvonne left without responding to him.


    Lucas could only stand there like a monument


    In the Rune District. By the time ПTan reached home, Queenie, Harris, and George had also


    returned.


    “Han.”


    When they saw Han, they all stood up in excitement.


    “Boohoo, Han, it’s so good to see you.”


    Harris and George had not seen him for eight years. Now that they met again, they were both


    extremely thrilled, especially George.


    He immediately pounced over and held Han tightly, crying tears of joy.


    Even though they had not seen each other for eight years, blood was thicker than water, and when the


    brothers met, they still feel as close as ever.


    Han hugged his brother and stroked his hair. He smiled and said, “It’s been a few years since we


    last met. You’ve grown so much taller.”


    Eight years ago. George was just a seven-year-old child who always followed Han around.


    George had turned into a fifteen-year-old young man in the blink of an eye. And he was only slightly


    shorter than Han.


    However, he was a little skinny When Han hugged him, he could feel his bones.


    Harris also looked thin, but inparison, he was rtively stouter than George.


    Poverty speeds up maturity. Although Harris was only in his second year of high school, he was much


    more mature and well-mannered than his peer. He just stood right where he was and nodded as he


    greeted his elder brother, “Han”


    “Alright. Let’s sit down and have supper.” Han said with a smile.


    Nothing could please him more than a family reunion.


    As he spoke, he looked at Harris and George’s apparel. The sight of it broke his heart.


    Both his brothers are wearing shabby clothes. Harris’s sneakers were all tattered, and he had to mend


    them.


    There were also many patches on George’s clothes.


    “Yes, let’s have supper together.”


    Floris brought out some spaghetti from the kitchen with a smile.


    Felicia and Charlie ran over and looked at their son. “Han, why are you back so quickly? Where’s


    Miss Evelyn?”


    “I sent her home,” Han replied calmly.


    Felicia hurriedly pulled Han to the side and said. “Han, I think Miss Evelyn is a gooddy. Why


    don’t you be together with her and form a family sooner?”


    “Mom, I’m not in a hurry. That can wait.” Han smiled bitterly.

    He thought marriage couldn’t be decided hastily.


    His parents were too anxious.


    “You’re already 28 years old, how can you wait any longer? Your friend, Caleb Swift, has a second child


    already. Felicia said.


    “I also think that Miss Evelyn is not bad. You can try to interact more with her and get to know her


    better,” said Charlie.


    “Alright, I’ll ask her out in a few days” Han said helplessly.


    Hearing Han’s words, the whole family was delighted.


    Seeing that everyone was in a good mood. Han immediately suggested. “By the way, tomorrow is


    the weekend. I’ve earned some money Let’s go shopping and buy some clothes and shoes. Everything


    is on me.”


    “Sure, I want to buy a pair of sneakers” Harris was overjoyed.


    “I also want to buy a pair of shoes,” George said.


    As he spoke, he looked down at the ragged torn canvas shoes on his feet, and a look of inferiority


    shed across his face


    His ssmates had made fun of him many times because he didn’t have a pair of nice shoes. He


    always felt that he couldn’t hold his head high in front of others


    “Alright, it’s settled then Let’s have a shopping spree tomorrow!” Han said.


    The next day, after getting up. Han checked the bnce on his card. His brows puckered when he


    found that there were only less than ten thousand dors left


    He had withdrawn some cash and keep it at home. But he was going shopping, he couldn’t possibly


    take a bag which was stuffed with money with him.


    In frustrati


    Han could only borrow I million dors from Lucy. He didn’t get up until he received the money.


    After breakfast, the family waited no time to he to thergest shopping mall in faghrdom Cary.


    Han’s BMW 5 Series could only amodate four passengers. So, his parents and both of his


    sisters went to the mall in his car while has two younger brothers took a cab there


    An hourter, the family met up at Ivy Building


    the best shopping spot in 1.


    hrdom Cary All the famous brands in the world could be found there.


    Han looked at his parents shabby clothes and felt terrible. Therefore, be immediately took them to


    one of the best luxury fashion stores to buy a few sets of outfits for his mother first


    Clothes make the man.


    His parents had been living frugally all their lives. They were wearing clothes that cost less than 20


    dors Everywhere they went, people looked down on them


    After he returned, he decided he wanted to make them stand tall in front of their rtives and friends


    The luxury fashion store offered a great variety of stylish and elegant des exclusively for the upper


    ss


    Every


    ment seemed to be made


    Felicia had her eyes on a in long dress


    The design of the dress was vintage-inspired and ssy. It was especially suitable for middle-aged


    women like her Moreover, the fabric felt smooth and soft


    However Felicia was bbergasted when she saw the price.


    The long dress cost in thousand dors.


    Even gold wasn’t that expensive


    “Miss, give me the dress When Han saw his mother’s gaze fix on the dress, he immediately called


    the salesgirl over as he wanted to buy the dress.


    “No, no, no. Han, this dress is too expensive Felicia hurriedly stopped her son.


    She had always been industrious and thrifty It pained her heart if she had to spend 16 thousand dors


    on a dress.


    As she spoke, she looked longingly at the dress.


    For the first time in years, she liked a long dress so much.


    However, the exorbitant price fended her off


    “Mom, it’s only 16 thousand dors. We can afford it.” Han smiled


    He took his mother to a luxury clothing store to change her view on money.


    With has current financial ability, he wouldn’t even bat his eyes when buying a 16-million-dor long


    dress, let alone 16 thousand


    “Hey, Felicia, what are you doing here? Why don’t you go sweeping the floor?”


    Right then, a fair skin middle-aged woman who was wearing expensive jewels walked over. She


    nced at Felicia with disdain and mocked, “Is Chanel fashion store a ce for a poor person like


    you?


    “Look at you beggar. You don’t even have anything valuable on you. You’re as poor as a dog, yet you


    still want to buy a long dress worth 16 thousand dors. Do you have the money?”


    Felicia’s face crumbled when she heard that. “Yasmin, do you have to be so mean?”


    Yasmin was Felicia’s cousin from the Labenz family, so she was also Haylen’s auntie. After marrying a


    rich man, Yasmin always disyed an attitude of patronizing superiority and looked down on Felicia.


    Every time she attended a family gathering, she would make things difficult for Felicia.


    Felicia did not expect to run into Yasmin that day.


    What rotten luck. Enemies often cross paths with one another.


    “What? I’m mean?”


    Yasmin looked at Felicia contemptuously and said, “If I say you’re a poor dog. I’m demeaning a dog.


    The food for my dog costs a few hundred dors a pack. Any you? You’re worse than a dog.


    “Move out of my way!”


    After saying that, she pushed Felicia away rudely and said to the salesgirl beside her, “Miss, I want this


    dress. Pack it up for


    me.”


    Han’s eyes turned cold when he saw that.
