Picking up the transfer documents, Nancyâs face was full of heartache.
It was mainly about that Cayenne. That was the first time her vanity had ever been truly satisfied. You could say she had personally chosen everything inside that car.
The entire Wood family combined hadnât driven that car as much as she had. She truly cherished that Cayenne, considering it far more precious than that beat-up second-hand BMW.
"Yeah, thereâs nothing to be done about it!"
After signing, Nancyâs expression turned very gloomy. It was clear her mood had instantly soured.
"I originally said I was going to pick up the car and drive it today. Who would have thought something like this would happen? Itâs so infuriating."
Even after getting into the taxi, Nancy was still pouting her lips in a silent sulk.
This aloof sister-in-law rarely showed such dejection. Her personality was somewhat carefree; she wasnât the type to get easily emotional.
Even if her husband Daniel were dead, she probably wouldnât be this depressed. It just showed how much she loved that car.
"By the way, Sis, whereâs your BMW?"
Luis quickly tried to change the subject. Hearing this, Nancy became even more upset. "Just sold it. I spent 28,000 dollars buying it, hadnât driven it for long at all. I went to ask at the car store, and they only gave me 20,000 dollars for it."
"Lost 8,000 dollars in less than three months. Thatâs fucking black, I tell you. That bastard Daniel even had the nerve to call himself a good buddy."
Nancy grew angrier as she spoke, snorting, "If Iâd known earlier, I should have listened to Lily and gone to buy it from your master. Probably wouldnât have lost so much."
Her mindset had also begun to undergo a serious, distorted shift. Back when she was buying the car, she had looked down on car store being in the suburbs.
Her attitude had been full of disdain, even saying that even if Luis had studied auto repair, he probably only worked on cheap commuter cars and didnât understand anything about BMWs or Mercedes.
Now, with a 92% favorability meter, her perception had completely changed. To put it bluntly, this was the hard result achieved by throwing money at the situation.
"Selling the car? Why are you selling the car?"
Luis continued to press.
Nancy hesitated for a moment, then said, "Iâll let your brother-in-law explain to you in a bit."
The car drove to the neighborhood where they lived. Nancy walked ahead, a coy smile on her face. "Itâs still early. Arenât you going to go find your Chloe and have a nice, loving time??"
Seeing no one around, Luis gave her butt a pat, smiling suggestively. "Feeling jealous??"
"Pfft. What is she? Why would I be jealous of her?"
Nancy, always proud and tsundere, immediately wore an expression of contempt. She then shot Luis a glare and said, "Youâre the same. For me, your auntie, to be jealous of you? Keep dreaming."
"Only someone with as poor taste as Lily would end up with a big pervert like you. If she knew about the things youâve done, sheâd skin you alive."
As they were speaking, someone walked over, so Luis behaved himself and didnât try anything frisky.
He had originally thought they were going to her place, but they ended up circling around to the other side of the neighborhood gate, which was the building where Chloe lived.
Luis felt somewhat guilty.
However, Nancy wasnât heading to Chloeâs place. Instead, she walked out of the neighborhood again.
The area opposite the neighborhood was very bustling. What should be considered an annex building was only two stories high, with various restaurants on the ground floor.
"The second floor has a bar with really good business. Let me take you there first. Your brother-in-law should be upstairs."
As she spoke, Nancy led Luis up to the second floor. It was still before opening time in the evening. With all the lights brightly lit, it just seemed very ordinary.
The cleaners had already finished their work. The servers were eating their boxed meals; they would have more work to do after finishing.
At the bar counter, Daniel was talking with an extremely gorgeous woman. The womanâs head of golden hair was particularly eye-catching. It was very difficult for ordinary dye jobs or perms to achieve such a soft, smooth, and beautiful effect.
Although it was only a side view, and the womanâs attire wasnât revealing, one could tell her figure was exceptionally good, not losing out at all to his sister-in-law Nancy.
A rare top-grade item...
The moment the woman turned her head, Luis was somewhat stunned.
A perfect face, with exquisitely sculpted, three-dimensional features. Combined, this face was so stunningly beautiful it seemed almost otherworldly, as if it shouldnât exist in the mortal world.
Her emerald green eyes were filled with a spirit that didnât belong to this world. She was so beautiful she seemed computer-generated; such peerless beauty shouldnât exist on earth.
"Youâre here!"
Daniel, dressed in a sharp suit, stood up and introduced, "This is my brother-in-law, Luis. This is Ms. Nina, the big boss here."
"Hello!"
Luis instinctively extended his hand.
Ninaâs expression showed a flicker of surprise, but it vanished in an instant. She immediately reached out to shake his hand, smiling particularly sweetly. "Hello, very pleased to meet you."
Although they had never met before, she had seen Luisâs photo and remembered it quite clearly. She was the one who had sent people to investigate his information. It would not be an exaggeration to say she could recognize him even if he were reduced to ashes.
"Have a seat, letâs talk more!"
Luis was completely in the dark, having no idea what Daniel was up to.
Eldest Sis Nancy was also acting strange. Even though she and Luis had their secret affair, seeing her husband alone with such a beautiful woman, how could she not be jealous?
"Nancy, you are still so beautiful."
Looking at Nancy, Ninaâs eyes lit up, and she praised softly and charmingly, "You have always been as beautiful as a work of art."
"Thank you. You are much more beautiful than I am."
Strangely, seeing them sitting together, Nancy showed no signs of jealousy or anger. Instead, she sat down next to Luis.
This was even more odd. This couple were both people with narrow minds. Since when had they become so magnanimous?
Nina got up and walked behind the bar, smiling enchantingly. "The bartender isnât on duty yet. But my mixology skills arenât bad either. Would you like to try a drink first?"
"Although Iâm a bit out of practice, I did graduate from the Royal Winery Academy."
"No need, weâll just have some whiskey."
Daniel acted even more casually. He took a bottle of Black Label, opened it, and effortlessly poured glasses for himself, adding ice, as if he were the master of the place.
Nina gave Luis a deep, penetrating look before rising to her feet. "Alright, you two enjoy the tour. I need to go to the office and review the accounts."
Nina walked away with a swaying, captivating grace; it was no exaggeration.
She wore perfectly professional attireâblack stockings without overly dramatic heels, and no deliberate, seductive posingâyet with each step, her movements naturally drew the eye to her exquisite curves and the alluring silhouette of her retreating figure.
Luis stared, his eyes practically glued to her. This woman was an absolute banger, a stunning masterpiece.
Daniel handed him a drink with a knowing smile. "Beautiful, isnât she? Many say if she wanted to make it in Hollywood, she could rise to the top effortlessly. That face is a genuine work of art, crafted by God himself."
Even Nancy couldnât contain herself, a flicker of jealousy in her tone. "Eyes wide open, are we? Plenty claim theyâd willingly trade ten years of their life just for one night with those legs."
Luis asked, his voice low, "Brother-in-law, whatâs the real reason you brought me here specifically?"
"Take a good look around first. Weâll talk details over the meal."
Nancy led them on a tour of the bar. It had to be said, the place was impressively spacious and thoughtfully designed.
Most bars back home were dominated by DJs, dance floors, and raucous rock music, pure nightclub style with all the noise. This place felt distinctly different, almost an outlier.
The area was vast. Beyond the main bar for drink tasting, there was a dedicated zone for cigar appreciation, a sizable space for billiards, and the overall ambiance was notably less chaotic and more refined.
"Letâs head to dinner first. We can come back for a closer look later."
