“What do you mean, Chloe?” Lucian’s face fell. Her reaction was unexpected and unpleasant.
Chloe chuckled and said, “I have heard about you, Lucian. You have already been kicked out of your family when you graduated seven years ago. After that, you went for military training for seven years.”
“Tell me, how much do you earn from all that military training? I don’t think you can afford a Mercedes-Benz,” she continued, “If you think that I would care about you just because I used to have a crush on you, you are mistaken. You are not worth it for me to consider selling you the
car.”
During college, before Lucian entered a relationship with Freya, Chloe used to have a crush on Lucian. However, Lucian was not interested and rejected her.
At the time, Chloe was jealous of Freya. However, later when she found out that Lucian had been kicked out of his family, and Freya had been incapacitated, Chloe felt glad and relieved Lucian had rejected her. She believed it was karma for Lucian and Freya to be poor and disabled.
On the other hand, Chloe was now earning a lot as the sales manager at Sioux Mercedes-Benz 4S dealership. She had all the money and influential connections. Her social status was much higher than Lucian’s now.
“You have misunderstood me, Chloe,” Lucian frowned. Chloe smirked, “Have I?”
She laughed and said, “I don’t think I have, Lucian. You must have heard how well I am doing now, so you are here trying to get a free car from me because I used to like you. How pathetic! I regret every day now that I used to have a crush on a loser like you. Get lost now, you are not welcome here.”
Their conversations had drawn people’s attention. Everyone now understood that Lucian had tried to get a free car from Chloe just because she used to have a crush on him. They were laughing and talking about how Lucian had just embarrassed himself.
Freya’s face turned tomato red. She did not know that Lucian had planned to buy a car from Chloe who used to have a crush on him. Did he intend to get a free car from Chloe?
Annie was furious. “What is all this about, Lucian? Are you saying this woman is the ‘old friend’ you are buying a car from? Are you trying to beg for a free car by bringing us along? This is too embarrassing!”
Frank was stunned. He did not think that Lucian would do such a thing. Chloe heard Annie using the word “old friend”, and it confirmed her suspicion that Lucian was here to get a free car.
foolish Chloe said mockingly, “Yes, I used to have a crush on you, Lucian. However, I regret my actions back then. Look at you now. You look so cheap. How dare you try to get a free car from me? Who do you think you are?”

Lucian was annoyed. “Haven’t your superior informed you that Mr. Gray will be here to get the car?” Chloe nodded, “Of course,”
She continued, “The car has been reserved for Mr. William Gray. Did you think it was reserved for you? Oh dear, what a joke! You are just a loser that can’t even afford a C-Class car. Stop dreaming about buying a limited-edition Maybach costing up to 50 million dollars.”
Lucian began to doubt himself at this point. He thought he had asked Liam to prepare the car for his father-in-law, Why would it be reserved for William?
“Wow, I am glad to see you here, the loser being kicked out of the Gray family,” William entered the showroom at this time confidently,
Chloe immediately went to greet William, “Mr. Gray! I am sure you have seen all that happened. How dare Lucian try to get the Maybach pretending to be you. Luckily you are here now, or he might have succeeded in bluffing everyone.”
William laughed and glared at Lucian. “This car is for my Grandpa, Lucian. You are just embarrassing yourself by trying to steal this car pretending to be me. What’s more, you dare to bring a cri pple with you.”
“Look at you, Lucian. You are just a loser being kicked out of the Gray family. Do you seriously think that you can own this Mercedes-Maybach that costs 50 million dollars?” He added.
Now everyone understood that Lucian had tried to steal the Maybach pretending to be Mr. Gray. “What a joke! This loser thinks he could own the Maybach.”
“You don’t say! Only people like Mr. Gray could afford such an expensive car. Who does this loser think he is, trying to steal the car from them?”
“The Harrison family are such fools too to tag along with this loser. This is the joke of the day!”
Freya, Frank and Annie were infuriated by what people around them were talking about. They had no idea Lucian would do such a thing. He liked to bluff, but they could not believe he would embarrass them like this. Freya was so angry she cried.
She had asked Lucian to stay so that he could take care of Annie better. However, he had betrayed her trust by trying to steal the Mercedes-Benz from the Gray family. She was disappointed in him.
“This is unbelievable. Fay, let’s go now,” Annie wheeled Freya away while pulling Frank with her to leave the showroom.
William chuckled, “Your cri ppled wife and family have left. Why are you still here?”
“You have shamed yourself and your family just for this Maybach. I guess you like this car,” he continued, “How about this? If you kowtow to me three times, I can let you sit in the car for three seconds. One kowtow for an extra second. Do we have a deal?”
Everyone laughed together with William. Lucian was shaking in anger. He scowled at William, “I

don’t care what you think you know, but I have bought this car for my
father-in-law.”
“Stop bluffing!” Chloe interrupted him mockingly. “Look at yourself, Lucian. You can’t even afford a C-Class car, and you claim that you have bought the limited-edition Maybach?”
“This car has been reserved for Mr. Gray to be used during the celebration of Gray Group being publicly listed,” Chloe added, “Accept the fact, Lucian.”
“Thanks, Chloe,” William said, “Please help with the procedure and send me the documents tomorrow, okay? I will take the car now.”
William had no time to entertain Lucian any longer. He spoke briefly to Chloe and drove away the limited-edition Maybach as everyone watched in awe.
At this time, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class stopped in front of the showroom, and Jake Parker, the general manager of the dealership, entered the showroom.
Chloe immediately greeted Jake. “Mr. Parker!” Jake nodded and asked, “Has Mr. Gray claimed the Maybach?” He was concerned about the car.
“Yes, Mr. William Gray has just taken the car,” Chloe replied. She added, “By the way, see that man there? He tried to pretend to be Mr. Gray to take the car. Luckily I found out he was bluffing and stopped him.”
Jake was startled. He yelled at her, “What? William Gray has taken the Maybach?”
