"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.

"Luis, you know, men should always put their jobs first and take good care of their own. If you can't get a job, let me know. I'll help you find him. Just by using my name alone, you will earn at least 5,000 dollars a month," Tomy Carlos offered with a smile, sipping his drink. That man was none other than Larra's husband.
It was obvious the man wanted to cause trouble. All eyes were on him. Compared to those who had just stepped into the real world, Tomy was someone who had had many years of experience in society.
He is one step ahead of the young people who still have to rely on their family's financial support. Even Rony is not completely independent. He is not rich, but his family. After all, he was not yet the head of the family.
Tomy feels she can do whatever she wants.
"Thank you, Mr. Carlos, but I don't think I'll accept your offer" Luis replied, shaking his head.
"Ha-ha!" Alex Wil, one of the reunion participants, spouted out a drink that he had just gulped.
Although Tomy is quite old, after all she is Larra's husband. Luis' flat rejection managed to upset Tomy. Meanwhile, Larra's face turned pale.
"You..." Tomy didn't know what to say.
"Food is coming soon. Let's play cards" suggested Rony while removing a deck of cards. Tomy, Luis, how about we play two rounds? The bet is 750 dollars per spin.
Rony clearly did not intend to be friendly. He wants Luis bankrupt. If each spin cost 750 dollars, then ten consecutive losses would cost almost 8,000 dollars. He is well aware of Luis' financial condition and he understands that 8,000 dollars is not a small loss.
"You really live in a different world than the rest of us, Garry. That 750 bucks is a big amount, you know? How can ordinary people like us afford to pay for it?" exclaim Alex.
"Luis, you have to come play. If you manage to win two rounds, you'll make a huge profit" Alena commented flirtatiously.
"Yes, Luis. Come on, don't be a coward" said the other.
"If I were you, I would've played."
"Then you're the one playing in his place" Lia said with a serious expression.
"H-hey, they didn't take me." The person who spoke earlier tried to defend himself awkwardly.
750 Dollars is not a small amount. It would be nice if you could win. However, defeat would be a hard blow.
"certain. It was only a few thousand dollars. To me it's not much." Rony shrugged his shoulders.
The people around him were heating up in his heart because of his words. After all, not everyone in Jamarta is that rich.
"I'll play with you two" Lia said coldly. He knows Luis. The man might go broke if he played with them.
"Miss Wijaya, this game is just between us. Luis, you're not gonna let Lia take a hit for you, are you?" Rony sneering.
"A 1,500 dollar bill is not much. I'll play," Luis agreed flatly.
Rony smiled without saying a word. He thought Luis was tough, and he didn't mind. After all, he and Tomy worked together. So it will be very easy to take down Luis.
"Did you all hear it? He said the 1,500-dollar bill wasn't much. It looks like you're rich, Luis! You are no longer the same as you used to be, thinking twice just to buy a pair of shoes" Alena sneered.
Tomy chuckled at it, then removed the watch on her wrist and placed it on the table.
"God! Isn't that the legendary Breguet Marine? If not wrong, the price of a watch is 30,000 dollars more," murmured Alex shocked.
"Yes, I guess. Tomy doesn't seem to care. "Listen, Luis, Garry, I'm not bringing in a lot of money today, so I'm going to risk this watch. The winner will have it. I won't fight."
"How generous are you, Tomy," Rony praised as he gave his thumbs up. "I'm going to risk my BMW. You should also put something on the table, Luis. After all, it would be a shame if you couldn't pay when the time has come."
Brak!
Lia immediately pulled out a card from inside her bag and slammed it on the table. "If he can't pay, then I'll pay him."
Rony remained silent as he looked at Luis. She was sure no man would let Lia do that. "You have a house, don't you?"
"Rony, you've crossed the line" Lia warned.
"I actually have too many houses. I don't really remember how many. By the way, isn't that 30,000 dollars too little?" Luis scratched his ear.
"A little bit?" Rony sneering. Then, why don't you just propose the amount?"
