Rich In a Brief
Priority in Marriage


"Oh, yeah. Didn't you just say Luis was coming? Why hasn't he come yet?" Rony asked while sitting down.


.........................................


When he said that, Larra's countenance turned a little strange.


"I'm sure he'll come" muttered Lia.


Then, his phone vibrated. He frowned and glanced at the screen of his phone before standing up leaving the room.


Moments later, Luis was welcome in. He was wearing a white T-shirt and baggy pants. He also wears a pair of fake Adidas shoes. Her clothes were definitely not appropriate for the event.


"Your seat is there" said Lia.


Luis was just about to find an empty seat when he heard someone say.


"It looks like something happened between Lia and Luis," someone teased.


Larra was clearly visibly irritated, but when she heard that, her face grew sour.


"He's just a friend," Lia insisted. If you cannot accept that, then I will treat you the same way.


According to Lia, there was nothing wrong with that. Most people know that he and Luis are close.


"We understand, Lia." The atmosphere in the room came alive.


However, there were some people who stared at Larra and Luis in turn. As if they realized something.


Luis glanced at Larra, who was nearby, and the old man beside him, then smiled without saying anything. He felt that the reunion was quite boring. He said the event was nothing more than a show. Those who have succeeded in the world will force everyone to see their perfect lifestyle.


The cring!


While everyone was talking, a clear voice echoed throughout the room. The sound of a BMW key falling to the floor.


"May too, Garry. It seems that you have bought a BMW" one woman commented. All eyes were on Rony.


He took the key and humbly replied, "I didn't buy it alone. My dad helped me."


"Garry, if I had a rich dad like you. Must be fun" someone commented.


Even though everyone present there was from Jamarta, it did not mean that they all had rich parents.


"Young people need to be independent, right. Isn't that right, Luis?" Rony asked. He turned the spotlight towards Luis.


Both are pretty close. In fact, they never quarrel with each other.


However, Rony likes Lia, who is close to Luis. That's why his impact on Luis has gotten worse. In fact, Rony wanted Luis to embarrass himself.


"Huh?" Luis, who was still in a daze, was stunned by the attention he suddenly received. "What did you say?"


As Larra watched Luis, who seemed so inconspicuous, she shook her head. He was grateful to have left her at that time. Otherwise, he would be miserable for the rest of his life.


It was not that she really liked her current husband, but the man beside her was indeed a wealthy one. It is impossible for a young woman in her 20s to be willing to marry the man, if she is not the owner of a company with an annual salary of 150 thousand dollars. He is also the owner of a BMW.


Larra felt her life was good enough. She can also enjoy the materialistic life her husband gives her. She wore branded clothes from head to toe, the kind she couldn't buy while still dating Luis.


He had bought a BMW the way he wanted, and lived in a large house with a view of the river. He is happy with his life.


No one will want to admit that they are materialistic and only care about appearance, but in fact many are like that.


"I think it makes sense" Luis said.


"How much do you pay, Luis? Whatjourjob? Do you have a successful business? I mean, you used to be the smartest student in class" exclaimed a girl named Alena Wilis.


He could see clearly that Rony was trying to take down Luis and he wanted to come along. After all, she considered herself quite tall, when compared to a supporting cast like Luis.


Rony was born into a wealthy family and it's possible that one day Alena will need their help. On the contrary, Luis was someone he rarely met. He thought that young man would be of any use to him.


"I took over my parents' grocery store, and I earned about 1,500 dollars a month" Luis replied casually.


"It is certainly not easy to live with such a small salary, given the price of a house in Jamarta," said Rony.


"You shouldn't say that. I mean, he's alive, isn't he?" said Alena. He and Rony are working together to destroy Luis' reputation.


"Hey, Larra, the ring you're wearing is very pretty. What brand? How much? I'll ask my husband to buy it for me when we get married!" yells. Alena naturally knew that there was once something between Larra and Luis.


"Oh, this? It's from Tiffany & Korp, and it costs about 10,000 dollars. I thought it was too expensive, but Tomy insisted on buying it for me. She said, this is a wedding, there should be a ring." Larra chuckles. He clearly did not mind the attention he received.


"Wow. To be honest, the ring was meaningless. The most important thing is to marry the right person. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to afford the wedding expenses, let alone the ring," Alena said as she looked at Luis with a fishing gaze.
