Luke City's No. 1 pretty heiress wants to commit herself to marrying Finley Quain! What kind of miraculous ability does he have, not only to win the favor of the rich woman, but also to make the rich and powerful bow their heads!
Luke City, a construction site.
The sun was blazing, and the whole construction site was like a huge stove.
Finley was sweating profusely and was moving bricks back and forth at the construction site under the scorching sun.
A large pile of bricks next to him was his task. As long as he finished his task, he would be able to get 60 bucks.
At this moment, a woman was standing beside Finley.
The woman was wearing a black women's OL uniform, outlining her curves and figure, her legs were slender and straight, and her long wavy hair was dignified and elegant.
Complete a rich beauty.
Her watery eyes could drown so many men.
"Beauty, don't affect my work here. Although I am handsome, I sell my skills but not my body."
Finley glanced at the woman and lifted a dozen bricks in front of him.
There was no denying that she was very beautiful like a blossom and men would fantasize when they saw her.
But Finley was unmoved.
Because women would only affect his speed of moving bricks!
Why did this rich beauty pester him? It started with a phone call.
Last night, Finley had a party with his friends and played truth or dare game. After Finley lost the game, he was asked to call the number on the advertisement on the wall, "The rich lady pays for a husband".
"To be my husband, you can get a large sum of money. Pretending to be my husband for half a year, and the remuneration is 2 hundred thousand dollars. Those who are interested please dial 001-16-XXX-XXXX. If I'm satisfied, the deposit is twenty thousand dollars!"
Finley, who was drunk at that time, could not remember what he said on the phone.
But he never expected that the woman on the phone would come here today.
It was this rich beauty beside him.
"Are you Finley on the phone last night?"
The woman's red lips moved and her eyebrows and eyes were cold as if she was not stained with a trace of dust. She looked at Finley.
"I'm Finley, and I made the call. As punishment for losing the dare, it was just a joke."
"A joke? Adults should be responsible for what they do!"
When the woman heard this, her eyebrows and eyes became even colder.
"I checked your information at the police station. Your family background is clean. You don't have many friends in Luke City, and your interpersonal relationship is simple. That's exactly what I want!"
"Moreover, your looks also meet the requirements. I'm looking for an ordinary man like you!"
Hearing the woman's words, Finley was secretly shocked.
The woman was so powerful that she had checked his information.
"I am the woman who's willing to pay a large sum of money to get a husband. My name is Rubina Yale. I am 30 years old, the executive president of the Yale Company. There are twenty thousand dollars in this bag. If you agree to pretend to be my husband, the reward will be two hundred thousand dollars. The twenty thousand dollars will be taken as an advance deposit for you."
Rubina did not care about Finley's surprise and stated her identity without the slightest hesitation.
At the same time, she handed out a small black bag in her hand.
Finley glanced at the black packet and then at Rubina.
He was dumbfounded.
He couldn't believe such a rich beauty would pay a lot of money to get a husband.
With Rubina's appearance and figure, if she waved her hand casually on the street, there would definitely be countless young talents to court her.
Did she need to pay a lot of money to get a husband? Who could believe this?
"You think I'm lying to you?"
Rubina tugged at her hair and did not explain. She opened the small black bag in her hand.
Immediately, the dollars were revealed.
"Twenty thousand dollars?"
Finley could not help but widen his eyes.
'She even brings the money...'
'This woman, rich, attractive woman, Rubina, she actually means it?'
"If you still think I lied to you, you can count the money piece by piece."
"Now, all you have to do is to answer me. Do you agree to pretend to be my nominal husband for half a year?"
Rubina ignored Finley's expression and her tone was cold as if she wanted to complete some task.
Looking at the banknotes in front of him, Finley was excited.
Twenty thousand dollars. How many bricks should he carry...
Actually...
The reason why he carried bricks at the construction site was to earn the bride price to get a wife.
Half a month ago, his girlfriend whom he had dated for two years wanted 40 thousand dollars as a bride price before agreeing to get married.
At present, 20 thousand dollars was enough to give half of the bride price.
However, when he thought of his girlfriend, Finley still resisted the impulse.
"That phone call, what a joke. I have a girlfriend. It's impossible for me to agree to be your husband. You'd better go." Finley waved his hand and bent down to continue moving bricks.
"Having a girlfriend doesn't matter. I just want you to fake it. Think about it. Call me when you think about it clearly!"
Rubina didn't expect Finley to refuse. She took a serious look at Finley and placed the black packet on the brick beside her.
Then, she turned around and walked outside the construction site.
"Hey, take your money. If you lose it, I won't compensate you!" Seeing this, Finley shouted at Rubina.
But Rubina did not look back and went straight out of the gate of the construction site.
Finley didn't want to get into trouble. He couldn't afford to compensate for the money.
At present, Finley had to put down the bricks, pick up the black packet and chase out to return it to Rubina.
"Finley!"
Just then, a delicate voice called out to Finley.
On the other side of the gate of the construction site, a girl in her twenties came.
She had an oval face, a tall figure, and a very pure appearance.
It was Finley's girlfriend, Yuri Wanye.
Yuri worked in a real estate company for sales and had won the sales championship for three consecutive months.
She was beautiful and talented.
"Yuri, why are you here?"
Finley stopped walking and looked a little nervous because Yuri did not know that he was moving bricks at the construction site.
However, after Finley's pause, Rubina left in a Mercedes in the distance. Finley had to give up and turned to meet Yuri.
"Don't come near me. Is your clothes clean?"
But Yuri covered her nose and dodged Finley.
"I'll go wash up. Wait for me for a few minutes." Finley was embarrassed and realized that his hands were full of dust.
"No need."
Yuri shouted at Finley, and her pure face flashed with hesitation. "Finley, I'm here to inform you that the bride price has changed. It will be doubled to eighty thousand dollars."
"Eighty thousand dollars?"
Hearing this, Finley was shocked. "Didn't we agree on forty thousand dollars?"
"Because my brother is getting married and his girlfriend wants a bride price of 40 thousand dollars, you need to give my family a bride price of 80 thousand dollars," Yuri explained coldly.
"Why do I need to pay for your brother's bride price?" Finley secretly tightened his fist.
'Did they think I'm stupid?'
"Can't you afford it? Well, let's break up." Yuri was very straightforward.
'Break up?'
Finley paused, and his mind fell into a brief blank.
Without waiting for Finley's reaction, Yuri looked at a BMW parked behind her and then at Finley. "Finley, I know that half of your monthly salary has been given to me. I'm very touched, but you even have to carry bricks to earn the 40 thousand dollar bride price. I don't want to be your burden. Let's break up!"
After saying that, Yuri walked towards a youth who came down from the BMW.
Finley knew this man. He was Zeber Zern, who courted Yuri before.
At this moment.
Finley understood.
The bride price was doubled to be the excuse for breaking up!
Yuri had already betrayed him. She found a rich man before breaking up.
He carried bricks under the scorching sun in order to earn the bride price.
Just now, he even refused an opportunity to become a millionaire for Yuri's sake!
"Finley, you are so poor and you don't deserve such a beautiful girlfriend. In the future, Yuri will be my girlfriend!"
Zeber hugged Yuri's waist and raised his hand to throw a stack of banknotes to Finley. "Here's two thousand dollars as the expenses of sleeping with your girlfriend. Your girlfriend is good in bed and I am very satisfied!"
"Zeber, don't say that." Yuri looked coquettish and slapped Zeber's chest.
Witnessing this scene, Finley could not help but clench his fists.
His eyes were flaming with anger.
After two years of dating, Yuri refused to sleep with him and said they would wait until the wedding night.
Now, Yuri went into someone else's bed so easily. Wasn't it a humiliation?
Yuri was so filthy!
"Finley, take the two thousand dollars and go," Yuri shouted coldly.
"Yuri, do you think I'm very short of money?" Finley clenched his fists and looked at Yuri.
"Isn't it?"
Yuri felt that Finley was so ridiculous to protect his dignity.
"Just take the money. Don't pretend in front of me. You are poor and outdated. I must be insane to become your girlfriend!"
"At the beginning, I saw that you were a little handsome and your family was not bad, but I didn't expect that you couldn't even get the forty thousand dollars bride price. You are a complete loser!"
As she spoke, Yuri hugged Zeber's arm. "Zeber, let's go. Don't talk to this loser."
After hearing these words, Finley only felt that Yuri's beauty and purity were incomparably ugly at the moment.
"Yuri, do you think I will be poor for the rest of my life?"
Finley sneered, raised the black packet, opened it, and poured the banknotes in front of Yuri.
Instantly, stacks of banknotes scattered all over the floor!
