Immediately, the shop clerk was stunned. All the digits in his phone number were
It was the first time she had ever seen such a number.
After she entered it, slie was shocked
Blake was the most distinguished VIP customer of Happy Sweets. He was one of only a handful of people in the world.
The numbers of VIP customers were all recorded in the system, and they wouldn’t charge a penny from VIP customers.
Well? Blake asked nonchalantly.
- OK. Just a second” the clerk said, her voice trembling
Ill write down the address for you. Don’t forget to deliver it, Blake instructed
The clerk excitedly handed over a pen and paper, and then he wrote down the address, his handwriting beautiful.
After Blake left, the clerk sent a message to the group chat at once, telling everyone there was a supreme VIP customer in the shop today.
One of the rules of Happy Sweets was that if they met a supreme VIP customer and completed their service, they would receive a bonus of 3000 dollars
Thomas was at home.
He had heard that Blake was returning today and was waiting.
He
rubbed his hands together nonstop, feeling anxious.
Yolanda however, remained calm and expressionless
The housekeeper rushed in and reported. “Mr. Blake is back.”
“Really? I’ll go out and welcome him myself. Not having seen Blake for ages, Thomas was very happy.
Knowing Blake was back. Connie Yates, Thomas’s first wife, and Penny Yates, Thomas’s second wife, hurried over to have a look.
They thought that lake was completely out of the game. After all, he was left in the northern suburbs without anyone attending. To their surprise, he came back safe and sound.
Thomas and the others went out. Blake rode an electric bike and stopped right in front of them.
“Blake in riding an electric bike?” Connie said mockingly.
Penny clicked her tongue. “He looks so pitiful”.
They made sarcastic reinarka deliberately.
Sering Blake, Thomas felt a pang of heartache. He thought, Our family is one of the top ten richest families on the rich list with unmatched wealth. Anal Blake, my son, actually came back on an electric bike?
“Blake!” he shouted excitedly.
“Dad” Blake nodded.
Thomas came over and gave Blake à hug, stuttering. “You’re recovered. Really?”
“Yes” Blake nodded again.

Morts stepped forward and said. “Blake, you’ve changed You actually like to joke now?
Bakr nodded. Indeed, Ive changed. After all, I went through a lot.”
“Don’t just stand here. Let’s go made and eat. Thomas patted Blake on the shoulder.
At the table, everyone was eating absent–mindedly, cach contemplating something Blake was used to seeing them like this.
After eating. Thomas called him to the study
Blake briety described what had happened, telling Thomus that the Galvezs saved him, and he recovered under Isabel’s attentive care.
Learning the whole story, Themas sighed, “Who knows The engagement suggested by the fortune teller for you actually turned out to be so good. for vou Remember! You were so against it at first, protesting that I got you a fance without having your consent. Now you know I just want the
“Yes: I am very grateful to you, Dad” Blake said. He admitted that if Thomas had not insisted on listening to the fortune teller and sending someone to the Calver family to arrange the engagement for him, he might not have met Isabel.
Thomas said. “I admire the Galvers. They’re standup guys. To think that they took care of you still after what had happened to you. I used to look down upon their family background, but not anymore. By the way, bring your fanere and let me see her someday”
“Twil” (like promised. It was what he had been thinking about for a long time already.

“He wanted me to go back to the company. I’m going to let you down this time,” he replied coldly

“Do you late me?” Volarida could tell
“No. You think too highly of yoursell. You’re not worth it, be said and then left
Yolanda was furious, thinking, Blake has always been nice to me, doing whatever I and. How come he’s so cold to me now!

Chapter 31
At the University of Ardenfall, Isabel came out after class
She looked around and was stunned at what she had just done. She thought. I subconsciously looked for Blake Seriously? Has it become a habit?”
“Isabel, are you looking for me?” Blake suddenly showed up behind her.
“What That’s rich” She turned around
“I saw you looking for me. Rest assured. Since I said I would pick you up after class, I will. Let’s go He took her hand.
““You” She wanted to take her hand out.
But he said. “Don’t move. I just want to hold your hand for a bit. Humor me, will you? For the sake of the cake I bought you at noon.” He held her hand and even shook it
Isabel was speechless, thinking. Is he acting coquettishly? But the cake at noon did make many people envious. After all, 3000 dollars for a cake is quite something. It was more like gold than cake!
Back then, amidst everyone’s envy, Yvette let out a snort, saying Isabel was such a poser. After all, Isabel was no longer part of the Clyde family and couldn’t afford the cake at all.
Yvette insisted that the cake was bought by Blake, Isabel’s fiance, who was a delivery guy, and the cake must have cost him several months salary.
She sighed, feeling sorry for him, saying that he was such a fool, using his hard–earned money to support someone as pretentious as Isabel.
She even concluded. “How pathetic.”
