Chapter 65 Background Doesn’t Matter
You’re insane!” Robin slammed the car door shut.
Vera fired up the Porsche supercar and shot forward like a whirlwind.
Evening light bathed Ridge Road in a golden glow, and as the Colorful Porsche 918 roared past, it carved stunning path that drew awed gasps from onlookers.
“That car is amazing! When will I ever own one like that I’d gladly eat just one meal daily to save up w buy one!”
“You couldn’t afford it even if you didn’t eat, so keep dreaming, Instead, think about that handsome pay driving it.”
“Ha, I might not afford it, but what’s wrong with dreaming a little?
“The guy in the car was even better looking than the car
“Wonder which family he’s from? I think he even smiled at me!”
Several young women watched the car’s taillights fade, chatting and gizzling “Do you think he might be into me?”
Piper, standing nearby, snorted, “Just some loser–why get all excited over him?”
One of the women shot her a look. “Anyone who can sit in a car like that is a loser? Well, then, show me yours!”
Piper scoffed, “You think that’s his?”
“That beautiful car has to be rented! It’s just a prop from a movie studio; you believe it’s a real Porsche 9182”
“Losers like him love to show off.”
“He’s shown off two or three times already today, trying to make me sick! I saw right through his act, and you think he’s some rich kid?”
The other woman was indignant. “How do you know he’s a loser? You were the one pestering him, and he didn’t show off to you at all!”
Piper sneered, “I just found out about him.”
“He’s a con artist the Millers dumped. Do you think he could afford that car?”
Another woman chimed in, “But wasn’t it Ms. Silva driving? The Silvas may not be in the top elite, but they could still afford a car like that, right?”
Piper chuckled icily. “Men like him prey on rich, brainless women with their good looks: Do you believe that nonsense? Ha…”
Her words sparked murmurs from the crowd around them.

“Oh, so that’s why he looked so familiar! He’s that lover the Millers kicked to the curb
“There’s been a lot about it online recently, even video of the breakup?
“Yes, now I remember. His name’s Robin, right?
“Maybe this lady’s got a point.”
As the crowd discussed Robin’s identity, Liam, along with Alice, Zachary, and a few others, stepped out of the Four Seas Bar.
Piper’s eyes lit up. She quickly fixed her outfit and hair in the bar’s large glass window, then walked briskly toward Liam.
“Mr. Liam, hello! Thank you so much for helping out just now. When are you free? I’d love to treat you to a
meal
Liam looked momentarily confused. “Sorry, who are you?”
“Oh, I’m Piper…” She extended her hand, hoping for a handshake.
Buy Liam gave her a cautious glance. “I’m busy.”
With that, he got into the waiting Mercedes with Alice, Zachary, and the others.
“But… Mr. Liam was just smiling at me earlier, Piper murmured, watching the Mercedes disappear into the distance, bewildered.
Oh, I might’ve been a bit too forward. I forgot Mr. Liam’s a public figure.
He must be keeping it quiet to protect my reputation. Otherwise, it’d be gossip fodder, and it might affect my future.
How could I have forgotten? I won’t make such a silly mistake next time.
Piper thought about it and smiled, her mind filled with Liam’s bright, radiant smile.
“Piper, do you know Mr. Liam?” Connor asked, approaching from behind.
Piper nodded shyly, leaning closer to Connor and whispering, “Connor, don’t spread this around, alright? It wouldn’t look good.”
The woman from earlier scoffed, “You’re imagining things. I heard Mr. Liam say he didn’t know you at all.” Piper shot her a contemptuous look. “You’re low–class!”
“Acting like you’re part of some elite circle with those wealthy young heirs. Delusional!” Piper “Connor, let’s go. Talking to people like this is just a waste of time.”
