Judson, gritting his teeth and forcing a smile, approached the bike. He bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry! It was wrong of me to kick you just now. Please forgive me!" The bike remained unresponsive, leaving Judson standing beside it. "Mr. Shaw, what do you think?" Brendan asked. "Alright, just get me the money quickly. I have other things to do." Kayden waved his hand, unwilling to press further as he had more important matters. "Got it!" Brendan noticed that Kayden seemed amused and quickly instructed Amelia, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and attend to Mr. Shaw!" "Oh, yes!" Amelia snapped out of shock and walked over to Kayden with a sweet smile. "M-Mr. Shaw, please follow me." The 30,000 dollars was ready in no time, and Kayden filled two bags with it. When he exited, Judson was still standing by the bike. Kayden ignored him, got on his vehicle, and prepared to leave. "Kayden... wait a moment!" Amelia called out as she chased after him. Kayden turned his head. Amelia approached him with a shy smile and asked softly, "It's been so many years since graduation. How have you been?" "I've been alright." "What are you doing for work now?" Amelia inquired. "I'm unemployed." Indeed, Kayden had no job; his only occupations were house chores and cleaning. Amelia was speechless. An unemployed man with 2 billion dollars seemed highly unlikely. She naturally didn't believe his words and assumed he was a scion of a top-tier wealthy family, which wasn't far from the truth. However, that was Kayden's former identity. "I've actually wanted to contact you all these years, but I didn't have your contact." Amelia brushed her hair back, revealing her charming face, and said coyly, "Can we exchange contact details?" "Of course." Kayden didn't refuse. When he met Amelia, he already had this plan, and now she brought it up herself. Judson secretly sneered, "Hmph! She's flattering the powerful." Little did he realize he was the same kind of person. Then, Kayden arrived at Ximena's company. The security guard stopped him, "Sir, do you have an appointment?" "No." Kayden shook his head. "I'm afraid you can't go in." The guard eyed Kayden's shabby attire, suspecting he might be a debt collector. At that moment, a BMW slowly pulled up at the company entrance. A young man in his twenties, dressed in a sharp suit, stepped out with a bouquet and walked straight into the company. The guard didn't stop him. Seeing the man walk in, Kayden got anxious and pointed at him. "You won't let me in, but he can?" The guard looked at Kayden disdainfully. "He's the general manager of Golden Grace. Are you on his level?" Golden Grace was one of the top companies in Jaston and a leader in the local jewelry industry. In other words, the man was a big shot, while Kayden was just an ordinary citizen. Kayden muttered, "I'm your boss' husband." "Are you Kayden?" The young man heard Kayden's mumbling and turned around. "Who are you?" Kayden didn't recognize the handsome man in front of him. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Lee Lyson, general manager of Golden Grace." Lee smiled, sizing up Kayden with unabashed disdain in his eyes. "Oh." Kayden had no interest in engaging with Lee. He called Ximena, telling her he was at the company entrance and asking her to meet him. Ximena grumbled before hanging up. Noticing that Kayden was using an outdated keypad phone worth just a few hundred, Lee's disdain grew even stronger. Soon, Ximena appeared. Upon seeing Kayden, she frowned. "Why aren't you staying at home? What are you doing at my company?" Her tone was laced with disappointment. Other husbands were either CEOs or managers and celebrated wherever they went. Why was her husband such a failure that he couldn't even enter her company without her help? "Binghan!" Lee greeted Ximena with a smile he thought was charming. "So it's Mr. Lyson." Ximena acknowledged Lee indifferently. "Ximena, I've been busy with company matters and haven't had time to visit you. As soon as I was free, I came over." Lee approached, offering a bouquet of roses. "These are for you. Do you like them?" The bouquet, arranged in a heart shape with ninety-nine roses, looked incredibly romantic. Kayden was instantly furious. He mused, "How dare he flirt with my wife right in front of me?" Before Ximena could respond, Kayden stormed over, snatched the flowers, and tossed them to the ground. "Honey, we don't need his flowers. I'll get you some myself." Seeing his flowers thrown on the ground, Lee was incensed. He sneered. "You'll get her flowers? With what?" He pointed at the roses scattered on the ground, scoffing. "Do you know how much these roses cost? Over a hundred dollars! Can you afford that?" "Everyone knows you're the famous loser who married into the Su family as a househusband! What will you use to buy them? The pocket money Ximena gave you?" With that, Lee burst into laughter. The security guard also chuckled quietly. Kayden seemed oblivious or simply indifferent as he followed the scowling Ximena into the company. "Honey, let's not bother with him. I'll get you more, better ones." "Just stop causing trouble, and I'll be grateful!" Ximena snapped, leaving Kayden behind as she returned to her office. She was already stressed about financial issues, and now Kayden had come to embarrass her at work. Meanwhile, Kayden could only trail behind her. Along the way, many employees pointed and whispered about him. "Isn't that the useless husband of Ms. Jenkins?" "Keep it down. How is he useless? He's a whiz at housework." "Hahaha! In that case, I'm indeed no match for him." ... "What are you doing here?" Kayden frowned upon seeing Blake Spears in Ximena's office. He wondered why she was everywhere. "What are you talking about?" Blake rolled her eyes, crossing her long legs on the table. "Why can't I be here? You're the one making a fool of yourself at Ximena's company." Kayden glanced at Blake's legs and quickly looked away, addressing his wife, "Ximena, I've brought the money you wanted." With that, he set down the burlap sacks he was carrying. Kayden untied the sack, revealing the money inside.
