Chapter 12

Seeing that Sean Young actually had the guts to talk back, Houston Thompson shrieked with crazed laughter. “True, true, true! We truly don’t know how powerful you are. Your skill at living off a woman is truly unprecedented!”

“Hahahaha! You’re right, Brother! Other than being amazing at living off a woman, what else can this piece of garbage do? We’ll see on the 15th. Then, everybody can witness your incredible talent at leeching off your wife!” Jasmine Thompson did not hold back any bit of her insult.

The 15th was the following Monday; it was Maisie Thompson’s birthday.

All the direct relatives of the Thompson family were, of course, rolling on the floor and laughing hysterically. They suddenly discovered that having a loser like Sean Young in the company actually brought them a lot of laughter; their office lives were not so boring anymore.

Sean Young said nothing in reply to Houston and Jasmine’s insults. He turned around and went back to the marketing department.

A large swan does not compete with ants; tigers and leopards do not mew and bark with cats and dogs.

‘Houston Thompson, Jasmine Thompson. By the 15th, I, Sean Young, will shock you and put you to shame.’

By 5 p.m, Maisie came back from outside and saw Sean resting with his eyes closed again. Her delicate, pretty face displayed her disappointment.

She thought Sean would pull himself together with Moses Langston’s help, the Young Master of the Eastern Land. However, it seemed like he continued to lack motivation, always taking naps in the office.

Since she married Sean Young five years ago, he was always either reading strange things or napping. At that moment, Maisie’s heart was overwhelmed by many different emotions.

Recalling what Sean promised her the day before and the insults Jasmine threw at her in the canteen during lunch, Maisie felt so helpless that she almost cried.

“Sleep and sleep! All you know is sleep! Sean Young, didn’t you say that you won’t let me get walked all over for the rest of my life? And yet, this is what you’re doing? I’m really disappointed in you!” Maisie slapped Sean’s chest with the stack of folders she was holding.

Hearing her ashamed and angered voice, Sean opened his eyes. Maisie went back to her own office, disappointment all over her face.

Sean smiled wryly. “It appears we have a mighty misunderstanding on our hands!”

In the past five years, Sean had not run a single errand. The ‘strange things’ he read in the office were actually the Superior Method of the Peerless Dragon. It would appear that he was taking a nap, but in fact, he was studying the Superior Dragon Method to hone his abilities.

When he was married into the Thompson family, Sean knew that he would become the second generation Supreme Leader of the Peerless Dragon. He passed the evaluation. There were countless skillful fighters in the Peerless Dragon, and the Emperor of South American Martial Arts was but a handyman to the Supreme Leader. If Sean wanted to impress everyone as the second generation Supreme Leader, he would need to have a powerful ability. Otherwise, it would be easy for him to be murdered and replaced.

Back in the office, Maisie could not help her sad tears sliding down her cheeks.

She had been the first of the top three Golden Flowers in the Great Central Land, widely known as the foremost beauty of the Great Central Land. She did not expect to marry Sean Young herself.

Because of him, her past five years had been very depressing as she was looked down upon everywhere she went.

Sean brought her hope by obtaining the Young family’s order. A few hours before, he even said that he would pay all that he owed her over the past five years, but it looked like all of that were just empty promises he made to save his own face.

Perhaps she would be walked over for her entire life, never to return to her past glory!

Thinking of Sean’s lack of motivation at work, Maisie had trouble breathing, as if her heart was stabbed by a hundred knives.

At 6 p.m., the office closed.

Sean took the initiative to carry Maisie’s bag. She did not give him a pleasant look as they walked. Sean could only make wry smiles; he knew that she thought he was sleeping in the office.

“Maisie!” As they stepped out of the building, a BMW 520i was parked not too far away. A slender woman exited the car.

The woman was dressed in a fiery red long dress with side splits. She had a graceful and slender body, her skin was as fair as milk--elegant, yet seductive.

Surprised to see her, Maisie greeted, “Cousin sister, how did you end up here?”

Her name was Marilyn Cherry, daughter of Maisie’s uncle from her mother’s side. They had always been quite close.

Marilyn Cherry smiled. “We haven’t seen each other for so long! Are you free tonight? Come shopping with me!”

“Shopping?” Maisie hesitated.

Right then, out from the BMW 520i came an unusually handsome young man. Looking at Maisie’s stunning beauty, a strong, blasphemous air flashed over his face for a split second. He walked up and said in a gentlemanly tone, “Yes, come with us!”

“And this is…?” Maisie Thompson asked, surprised.

Marilyn immediately said, “Oh, where are my manners? This is Howard Lewis, my boyfriend and general manager of Millennium Corp. Howard, this is my young cousin sister, Maisie Thompson.”

Maisie was quite surprised; she knew about Millennium Corp. Its market capitalization was in the thousands of millions, and it enjoyed a great reputation in the Great Central Land. For him to become its general manager at such a young age, Howard Lewis had to be a very able person.

“Hello, Miss Thompson. Marilyn mentions you frequently!” Howard Lewis smiled warmly.

“Hello!” Maisie Thompson answered politely.

Howard Lewis’s eyes locked on Sean Young next, “And this gentleman is…?”

“This pile of garbage is Great Central Land’s finest disaster, Sean Young; Maisie’s husband. I don’t know what got into Old Master Thompson, allowing Little Sis Maisie to marry such a loser!” Marilyn looked at Sean with full disgust.

Sean rubbed his nose lightly, speechless. He had met Marilyn a few times in the past five years; she never missed a chance to insult him every time they saw each other.

Howard suddenly recognized him and said with disgust, “THAT Sean Young!”

When he looked back at the elegant Maisie, he was filled with envy—there could not be a worse match than that.

“Let’s go, Maisie!” Marilyn dragged Maisie toward the car.

Even though she was extremely disappointed at Sean, Maisie could not just leave him there. She turned around with mixed feelings and told Sean, “Come with us too!”

“Okay!” Sean Young did not hesitate and got in the car.

Marilyn scoffed unhappily, “Oh, so you just get in because you were asked? You’re truly a loser who lives off a woman.”

After that, she pointed at the BMW logo and said, disdainfully, “Know what this is? A BMW! You know what BMW is, you bumpkin! This car is worth 500,000; enough for you to work for your whole life. Look at Howard, and look at yourself. I really feel sorry for our poor Maisie!”

Hearing those words, Maisie felt even worse.

Howard smiled, feeling extremely good about himself. He shot Sean a glance, his own heart filling with malice.

Being denigrated by both Marilyn and Howard, Sean did not know if he should laugh or cry. As the current Supreme Leader of the Peerless Dragon, he had half of the globe’s wealth in his palm; would he care about 400 to 500 thousand?

“Marilyn, why don’t we go eat first?” Howard asked.

Marilyn nodded. “Maisie, shall we get dinner first before shopping?”

“I’m easy!’ Maisie did not say more.

After ten minutes or so, Howard stopped his car right in front of the Royal Imperial Hotel and said proudly, “Marilyn, let’s dine at the Royal Imperial Hotel tonight?”

“What? Eat here? Wow! Howard, you’re so cool! I heard that the Royal Imperial Hotel was bought over by a mysterious wealthy man at 500 million. And I heard that to even just dine in the lobby would cost more than a hundred thousand!” Marilyn was extremely impressed.

Maisie also felt stunned; she knew that it was extremely expensive to dine there.

Looking at Maisie’s stunned expression, Howard put on a huge smile on his face.

He had to admit, he was completely conquered by Maisie Thompson’s beauty as soon as he saw her. He had to show off as much as he could in front of such a beautiful woman. If Maisie was impressed by him and was willing to spend a night with him, a few hundred thousand bucks spent would be worth it.

After all, a man could die happy in a beautiful woman’s arms.

Howard waved his hands nonchalantly and said, “A hundred thousand is nothing; what’s life without good eating, huh?”

“Wow, Howard, you’re such a man!” Marilyn looked at Howard with stars in her eyes.

She had only started her relationship with Howard for a few days; she never expected him to bring her to such an upscale place to dine.

One thing that was worth mentioning was Marilyn’s position as a meager clerk. With her abilities, she might never be able to have one meal there on her own.

In the next moment, she looked over at Sean and said disdainfully, “In the face of a man like Howard, I wonder if you ever feel ashamed of yourself. If it wasn’t for Howard, you would never be able to afford to come to such a high-class place in your whole life.”

‘Never come here in my whole life?’ Sean smiled upon hearing that.
