Everything Paris just said was just an insult, and Sasha frowned. “What’s wrong with a doctor? Is there
anything wrong with my husband making a living with his skills? Moreover, I love him, so I married him.
Isn’t that how it’s supposed to be? Marriage should be simple, and not be judged solely from the amount
of money one has.” In return, her words were to insinuate that Paris was only dating rich men.
Taking the hint, Paris snorted. “Sasha the school belle, noble as ever! But I tell you what, feelings aren’t
the only thing you need in life. There are many other things in your daily life that can’t be solved with
feelings alone. Take this restaurant for example. If you tell the restaurant that you and your husband are
deeply in love with each other, would they allow you in to have a meal?”
Everyone else burst into laughter, and Cecilia said with a laugh, “Your tongue is still as sharp as ever,
Paris! But what you just said is true.”
Indifferently, Paris cast a look at Sasha. “Are you still working at Cunningham Pharmaceuticals? Hmph,
I remember that it’s worth about a hundred million, isn’t it? Let me put it to you this way. My husband
recently contracted a project, and just the commission alone is thirty million. Later when the project is
completed, he could make about fifty million again. After calculating all the other miscellaneous costs,
he could make about eighty million from this project. From just one project, he could make about the
same amount as your company’s market value. In your current situation, how many years will it take for
both of you to make as much as this? Will it ever happen in this life of yours?”
Amazed, everyone turned to look at her with envy in their eyes. The majority of the people in the room
were office workers with a fixed salary, and the most they could make after sloughing through a month
was only a few thousand to a little more than ten thousand. Therefore, they couldn’t help but envy Paris
and her husband who could easily make eighty million with just one project.
However, Sasha was annoyed, and she recalled that Paris had always loved to show off when they were
in school. Back then, all her boyfriends were rich, and she had dated seven boyfriends who all came
from rich families just in university alone. After graduation, she hooked up with a wealthy bachelor and
got married to him, which only made her even more vain. Nevertheless, Sasha still suppressed her anger
because she didn’t want to flaunt anything about herself.
Taking a deep breath, she said in a low, calm voice, “That’s probably because we have different beliefs,
Paris. I think a simple life isn’t so bad at all.”
“What do you mean by a simple life?” Paris sneered. “There’s no other way to say incompetence. Men
have to prioritize their careers! Do you still remember Lincoln, Sasha? Our class monitor is doing very
well now, even better than my husband, and he loved you so much back then. If you date him, you
wouldn’t have to live such an embarrassing life as you’re living now.”
Stunned, Sasha didn’t expect she would mention Lincoln, the man who courted her like a madman back
then in school. Her impression of him wasn’t good at all because he was too extreme. So, she had
always ignored him in school.
At the same time, Cecilia stared at Paris thoughtfully for a long time before she finally understood why
she kept attacking Sasha. So, Paris is taking the lead for Lincoln!
A round of discussion broke out from everyone else in the room.
“Oh, speaking of Lincoln, that reminds me that he just recently returned from abroad.”
“You’re right. And I heard that he’s doing extremely well as an investor in Wall Street now!”
“I heard he’s back this time for a collaboration with the Ten Greatest Families, and he has already met
them.”
“Really? That’s incredible! Looks like he really made it big!”
“If Sasha had accepted him back then, she would be living the rich life now…”
