Chapter 208

Shelby ignored Robert, who had just shown up, and said to the young man beside her, "Zeke, did you fall in love with Marilyn afterjust meeting her today?"

Zeke laughed, "Marilyn is so beautiful . How can I not fall in love with her?"

"Then you will have to work harder. Marilynhas really high standards. If you want to pursue her, you wouldn't be able to succeed if you don't give your all," teased Shelby as she raised her eyebrows.

"That's for sure," said Zeke confidently."Nomatter what Marilyn wants, even if it is a watch worth thousands of dollars or even Cartier or Chanel's jewelry, you won't even see me frown."

"Hahaha, Zeke, you are too generous. You arewilling to spend thousands of dollars just for a gift!"Shelby patted Marilyn on the shoulder and said,"Marilyn, Zeke is a good catch. You shouldn't let him get away. It's hard to meet such a good man in a small place like Yrinas."

As Shelby said that, she pushed Marilyn towards the place Zeke was standing again.

Xavier was very happy to see that Robert had

come over, so he pulled Robert along and introduced him to the others.

"This is my good friend and also mygroomsman, Robert. These are all friends of Shelby. This is Zeke, whose family is in the gold jewelry business. This is Yulia, Shelby's best friend. Next to her is Jasper, Yulia's boyfriend."

Yulia looked up and down at Robert and was a little arrogant.

"Robert,I just met this beautiful woman today,and she is also a friend of Shelby. The bridesmaid this time is Marilyn. She used to be at the same university as you. Apparently, she was the campus belle. You punk! How could you not take advantage of that?" teased Xavier jokingly.

"Xavier, forget it," sneered Shelby. "You shouldknow Marilyn's family status. When a man and woman get together, it's not to say they must have similar family backgrounds, but the difference can't be too much, right? How many years of gold does your friend need to sell to afford a bag for Marilyn?"

"Oh?" Zeke raised his eyebrows and asked,"Are you also selling gold jewelry?"

Before Robert could answer, Shelby rushed to speak up.

"He is different from you. Your family is in thegold jewelry business while he is just a salesperson in a gold store," mocked Shelby.

When he heard that Robert was just a salesman, Zeke shook his head and ignored Robert, while Yulia's eyes were full of contempt.

"That's enough," said Xavier as he pulledShelby's arm."Can you stop talking?"

"What's wrong? Why should I stop talkingabout it?" scoffed Shelby as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. Xavier's way of teaching her a lesson in front of her friends made Shelby very uncomfortable, so she ranted on. "I'm just telling the truth. Do you mean to say that you don't think being a salesperson is a good enough job?"

Robert interrupted Xavier just as he wanted to say something more.

Robert smiled and said, "I think that as long as it is a legitimate job, then there is nothing wrong with it."

Jasper, who had been silent and showed no emotions, suddenly said, "Most ordinary people comfort themselves with such words."

"Preaching some sa ge advice to make yourself

look less inferior," Yulia held Jasper's arm and stated. "I've seen a lot of people like that."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right and these were Shelby's friends, Xavier couldn't say anything. He quickly changed the topic and said,"Let's go. It's time for dinner. Let's go eat first."

With that, Xavier held Robert around his shoulder and walked toward the private room.

At the dinner table, Robert sat next to Xavier and talked to Xavier about something that had happened when he was a child. Now thinking about it, he remembered everything.

"Zeke,I heard your family recently has investedmore than 450 thousand dollars. Are you going to open another branch?" asked Yulia loudly. "Jasper's project has always been doing well.We just cooperated with Zabel Group a while ago. How about we cooperate on these things? We won't take too much profit since we are all friends. I'll take 15,000 dollars from it."

Jasper sat there with a smile.
