Aurelia’s heart jolted, and her back stiffened. There were several times that she wanted to turn around, but it
seemed that a resistance pinned her on the spot, and she could only listen to the heavy footsteps approach slowly.
The small tailor shop felt as if a low pressure had engulfed it.
The owner had seen plenty of people. The moment she saw Neil with his oversized sunglasses, she knew that he
was not one to offend, so she quickly went up and asked with a smile, “Sir, here for tailored clothes?”
She regretted it a little as soon as she spoke.
The man was dressed so elegantly. It was obvious he came from a rich family. There would be people who went to
his doorstep particularly to measure him and customize his clothes, so how could he possibly be visiting her shop
for business?
In addition, the man seemed to be after Aurelia since he stepped inside… even though Aurelia’s back was against
him.
The owner pursed her lips. Did the girl already have a boyfriend, and was her boyfriend actually a big shot?

“I’m not here for clothes.” Each word from Neil felt frosty.
Aurelia held her breath, not daring to turn around.
“You’re the boss here?” Neil removed his sunglasses.
When the owner met the predatory eyes that were like a leopard’s, she froze. The man looked familiar. It was just
that his icy presence shuddered her. “Y-Yes…”
“Please step out for a moment.”
“Huh? But, sir, this is—”
“Would you like me to bring money to the table since you’re staying?” Neil’s smile did not feel like a smile. “But
once I bring money forward, I won’t just be buying clothes!
“I’ll buy this shop!”
The owner was stunned.
Who did he think he was? Coming in and threatening to buy someone’s shop?
Neil looked around and said coldly, “Madam, this shop’s pretty old, right?
“From what I know, few tailor shops are left on the street. The government will most likely demolish this area…
“You’ll have to leave by then whether you like it or not. Those people aren’t as negotiable as I am!”
“Sir, you—”
“Out!” Neil growled.
The owner turned pale and looked around, deciding that it was better to hide it out. She turned to leave, glancing at
Aurelia before that with a shake of her head and a sigh.
Aurelia did not know how long it had been when her thumping heart finally calmed down slightly. She slowly turned
around and abruptly met the pair of dark eyes.
Neil’s face was blank, icy like an icy sculpture.
Aurelia did not see that beneath his straight face was a hidden active volcano about to erupt.
The girl was probably doing this intentionally… She must want to anger him to death!
Neil took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, putting on a mocking smirk.

“No…” Aurelia lowered her head and fiddled with the embroidery, her voice small like a mosquito.
“But why did you speak like that just now?” She muttered, “She is a nice person and has no grudges against you.
This shop is her family asset. Why did you scare her?”
“Why?” Neil suddenly raised his voice. “Do you feel bad for her that I scared her?”
Aurelia froze.
“I scared your future mother-in-law, is that it!?”
“You…” Aurelia widened her eyes and flushed swiftly.
Why was this uncle increasingly unlike the uncle she knew…
“Why are you looking at me like that? Did I guess it right!?” Neil pressed on. “Did I get you to Southeast Aciatic
through so much effort and get you a temporary residence permit just for you to scrape by in this pathetic tailor
shop? Just so you can get married simply and live the rest of your life like that? Aren’t you going to university? A
famous university? Did the dogs eat your grand ambition!?”
Aurelia was stunned while being yelled at.
