Chapter 69 Only the Most Expensive

• I invited Dahlia for lunch at the most luxurious restaurant in Midton. During the meal, I praised her to the skies, so much so that she became slightly embarrassed. It was only when lunch was almost over that she felt me out with words, asking when I noticed her. I remembered that a certain female celebrity from Hong Kong was here for a catwalk some time ago, so I threw mud at her right away. “Some time ago, my father’s mistress came for a catwalk, but he didn’t have time to attend, so he forced me to go. While passing by your company, I happened to catch sight of you, and a single glance had me deeply captivated. Thus, when I went home, I swiftly had someone investigate you. However, the information they obtained had me feeling rather skeptical.”
• Utter shock showed on Dahlia’s exquisite face, obviously having connected the dots as to which female celebrity it was. In the next moment, however, she was puzzled by my remark. “What information?”
• “They said that you’re hooking up with an old man with a few dimes in his pockets who’s pretending to be a nouveau riche.” I looked up at her. “This had me feeling extremely distressed, and I truly want to know that this information is fake.”
