Chapter 88
“Come
Seeing Samantha frown, Cassey said on Can’t you show Sam a modicum of respect, Dickson? Go
take your seals, everyone.”
And with that, everyone took their seats.
Samantha remained silent the whole time and was just about to find a ce to sit when Marin suddenly
walked over and announced, “Everyone, there are some rules to your seating arrangements today, I
had a few tables prepared for our former ssmates who are doing quite well, you see.
“Those with a worth of a hundred and fifty thousand dors will sit here while those with seventy
thousand dors or below will sit on the other table over there.
“As for the poor peasants, well… They’ll have to sit at the table by theer.”
Mario pointed at a table in the corner of the hall, which was not only really small but also extremely
short. It was no more than a few inches tall. Anyone who sat there would still find it too short even if
they were to sit on the floor.
Many of their former ssmates beganughing out loud.
Dickson even said, “I’m worth a hundred and fifty thousand dors, so I’ll sit at this table.”
“Hahaha! I may not be that well off, but at least I have seventy thousand dors to my name, so I’ll sit
over there.”
“I’m worth a hundred and fifty thousand dors too. I’ll sit here.”
Everyone began to take their respective seats, while Cassey smiled at Samantha and said, “Let’s find
you a seat, Sam. How much are you worth?”
The crowd began tough as Cassey looked at Samantha with a menacing grin.
Meanwhile, Mario said, “I’m afraid she’s going to have to sit in the corner. The Pykes are a pretty
reputable family, so those who aren’t well off will have to sit over there like dogs.”
Dicksonughed and said, “Mario’s right. People like us should receive better treatment than the lesser
ones.
“Sam, why don’t youe and sit here instead? If you’re willing to be my lover, of course,”
Dickson said as he patted his thigh, causing Samantha to shudder.

Everyone had their own dignity, but it would seem as though Samantha’s has been reduced to
nothingness.
Still, she said nothing and walked toward the table in the corner.
But suddenly, Adrian grabbed her. She whipped around to look at him in confusion and asked, “What
are you doing?”
Adrian merely saniled before he turned to look at everyone there. “Well then. Cassey, if those with no
net worth should sit by the corner like dogs, then I believe every single one of you here should head
over there right now.”
Adrian’s sudden remark caused everyone, including Mario, Cassey, and Dickson, to look at each other
in confusion. None of them was able to understand what Adrian had said all of a sudden.
Then, Marioughed. “Do you seriously expect us wealthy people to sit together with a poor deadbeat
like you two? You must be dreaming! Hahaha!”
Casseyughed in disdain as well. “Sam, your husband’s got a really unique thought process on top of
being a deadbeat. He thinks we’re really just worth a hundred and fifty thousand dors.”
Dickson added, “She’s right. My worth is so much more. Sitting here is an understatement.”
However, Adrian shook his head and said, “No, all of you are poor little sh*ts!”
Everyone was left bbergasted by Adrian’s statement while Dickson and Mario looked at each other.
Samantha too looked at Adrian in confusion, not understanding what he had just said.
Everyone took a moment to process his words, and what followed was a huge round ofughter. They
laughed so hard that they started tearing up.
Mario even pointed at Adrian whileughing and said, “Hahaha! Did he just call us all poor little sh*ts?
Does he have a few screws loose? How could we possibly be poor when we’ve got so much wealth?”
“Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt…!”
Mario’s phone instantly started ringing after he said that.
Cassey said, “Your phone’s ringing, Mario.”
With a nod, Mario fished it. He felt curious when he saw who it was. “It’s my father. Isn’t he here
weing his friends and family?”
“He must be looking for you for something important,” Cassey said.
Mario knew something important had indeed happened, so he answered and said, “Yes, Father? Why
are you-”
“Where are you, you little rascal?!” Mario’s father immediatelyshed out in anger when the call
connected.
Mario waspletely stunned, especially because everyone could hear the conversation due to the
volume of his speakers.
“I’m at the wedding hall, Father. Have your guests arrived? I’ll be right there.”
However, Mario’s father became even more furious. “Wedding hall my foot! What have you done, you
brat?! Who did you offend?!”
Mario was even more puzzled at this point.
“I haven’t offended anyone, Father. What’s going on?” Mario asked anxiously.
“What’s going on? You dare ask me that question? I just got a call from Battle Warrior Lucas saying
that he’s shutting down the Pyke Group! All of our investors have pulled out, the banks have retrieved
their loans, and even ourpany building is being foreclosed by the bank!
“We’repletely broke now, so this wedding of yours is off!!
Mario and everyone else in the crowd was dumbfounded.
‘Mario’s family has gone bankrupt?”
‘Seriously?”
“What’s going on?
In a huge panic, Mario’s tears streamed down his face like two fountains as he said, “What’s
happening, Father? Why would we go into bankruptcy all of a sudden?!”
“The only thing Battle Warrior Lucas said is that you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have, so who
the f*ck have you offended?! Get your *ss over here right now and exin yourself!
“And again, the wedding’s off!”
“But 1” Mario’s tears were flowing non–stop.
To him, his family falling into bankruptcy was a nightmare. He was just boasting about how much
money he had a moment ago, yet he had fallen from grace in the blink of an eye.
“F*ck!”
