Among them, Milo was the most sycophantic, practically wearing the label of “bootlicker” on his face.
His contrasting attitude also served as a lesson for the girls who had just entered society. The birthday party didn’t last too late, wrapping up around ten o’clock.
After all, they were all working people who had to go to work the next day! As everyone left the restaurant, Jacob, who had been drinking, still called for a designated driver.
Lara didn’t drink, and during dinner, no one forced her, the main character, to drink. After sending everyone off, she curiously and joyfully took the driver’s seat in the Porsche Cayenne.
Her best friend Vivian happily settled into the passenger seat. She had drunk about three bottles of beer, her cheeks flushed. She took out her phone to prepare for a selfie with Lara in the car.
However, at that moment, Lara was just fastening her seatbelt, which was a very ordinary action, as fastening seatbelts while driving is for safety.
The problem was that Lara had taken off her outer jacket, and while she wore a simple white undershirt, once the seatbelt was fastened, it gave off a rather suggestive vibe, creating a strong visual impact that even made Vivian’s eyes widen.
She was taken aback for a moment and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Ah, I really envy Mr. Jacob!”
“Envy what?” Lara asked curiously.
“Envy Mr. Jacob for having fun in the future,” Vivian replied with a wink.
Lara, being innocent, didn’t understand. She turned her head, puzzled, and looked at her best friend, “What fun?”
“Ah, you really are a blockhead!” Vivian immediately playfully punched Lara lightly on the chest, which was quite bouncy.
Now Lara got it; her cheeks flushed even more, and she shot Vivian a glare, “You might as well change your name to romantic Vivian!”
“I’m just stating the facts!”
“If someone gave me a Porsche, I would definitely proactively book a hotel and buy a few sets of pajamas, aiming to be considerate!”
Vivian laughed and shrugged her shoulders, then spoke in a serious tone, “Lara, I advise you to just go for it; it would also give Macy a complete family!”
“A win-win situation!”
In the past, when Vivian said such things, Lara would always refute her, but today, she just blushed even more.
“Fasten your seatbelt!”
“Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your safety.”
After a moment of silence, Lara directly changed the subject.
Seeing her best friend intentionally avoiding the topic, Vivian didn’t press further. She quietly fastened her seatbelt and couldn’t help but glance at Lara, sighing inwardly.
There was no comparison! It was simply not in the same category.
She was a snack called Little Steamed Bun. And Lara was a fruit called Papaya.
Yes, she was a papaya. But I should flaunt my papaya more; I’ve heard it’s useful!
Lara, the novice female driver, drove very slowly, but experienced male drivers would see the brand-new Porsche and the fact that it was a female driver, and they would actively steer clear to avoid accidents.
As a result, Lara smoothly drove the car back home.
Once upstairs, she placed the gifts she received today on the coffee table and took a photo.
Excluding Jacob’s Porsche Cayenne, the most expensive gift was the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle perfume from her good friend Vivian.
A bottle of perfume costs over a thousand, so Vivian had really spent a lot.
However, after taking the photo, she remembered that Vivian’s gift wasn’t the most expensive besides Jacob’s; the outfit her sister Karen had given her that morning had a tag price of three thousand eight hundred, and even after discounts, it would still be over two thousand.
It was her birthday, after all, so she wanted to post something on her social media to document it. But when Lara was about to post, she directly blocked her “family” and “relatives.”
If it were just ordinary gifts, it would be fine, but if family or relatives saw a Porsche Cayenne as a gift, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, Lara had just provoked her sister a couple of days ago and didn’t want to stir the pot again.
However, some things are hard to hide.
When the Porsche Cayenne was delivered to the restaurant, there were passersby watching.
Someone posted a video on a social media platform with a very simple caption: “Someone else’s birthday gift.”
This account had only about a hundred followers before posting the video, indicating that she was genuinely just recording her life casually.
However, this video unexpectedly went viral.
The video posted around six o’clock had over twenty thousand likes and more than five thousand comments by ten o’clock that night.
At Peterside New City.
Karen got home after working overtime until nine.
The design project for Mimia Bay was urgent; Miss Mira had only given five days, so she had to work overtime with Amina.
At this moment, after washing up, she was applying a face mask while scrolling through social media.
Then she came across a video of someone receiving a Porsche Cayenne for their birthday!
At the beginning of the video, it only showed the rosy red Porsche Cayenne, and later the camera casually panned to the side, with the voiceover saying: “It seems to be that beautiful lady’s birthday gift.”
When filming the person, they only captured Lara’s profile, but Vivian was filmed quite clearly, leading to comments asking which lady it was.
Actually, Vivian was quite good-looking, but since she often appeared with Lara, she was easily overlooked.
And since this video didn’t capture Lara’s face directly, it only showed a beautiful woman with a great figure, which gave the two of them a chance to compete.
As a result, the comments section was divided into two factions, with some saying the gift was for Vivian and others saying it was for Lara! As Karen, the older sister, she immediately recognized her sister and knew it was her birthday today! So the Porsche was most likely a gift for her sister Lara!! My God!!
Someone actually gave Lara a Porsche Cayenne??? That’s a luxury car worth millions!!
Is some rich second-generation trying to pursue her??
A rich second-generation with such conditions must be seized!
Karen felt a bit anxious for her sister; she wanted to call to inquire about the situation, but seeing it was already past ten, she was afraid of disturbing her sister and that rich second-generation, so she wisely refrained from calling, planning to go in person tomorrow; such matters are best discussed face to face.
She then opened the comments section of the video to take a look; most were comments of envy.
However, one comment caught her attention.
The user’s nickname was “SomaEve.”
The comment read: “I actually saw myself in the video.”
Curious, Karen clicked on her profile and found that she had posted a video an hour ago, which was a photo collage, not a video.
The caption was: “My best friend received a Porsche for her birthday, so envious~~~” The video contained four photos: the first was a solo shot of her with the Porsche Cayenne, the second was a duo shot with Lara, the third was a group photo of six girls, and the last was a big group photo in the private room! The first three were fine, but when she saw the fourth photo, Karen immediately lost her composure and ripped off her face mask.
Because in that big group photo, there was Jacob, and also Macy! Of course, that wasn’t the main point; the main point was that the two men in the photo besides Jacob were both with their respective girlfriends, meaning those two were ruled out as the ones who gave the Porsche to her sister, leaving only one man in the photo—her ex-husband!! He gave a Porsche Cayenne to Lara??
This is impossible!!! Karen frowned, contemplating the possibility.
But if Lara wasn’t lying this morning, the person who sent her to work was Jacob, then the one driving the Benz GLS Class must really be him! In that case, it’s indeed possible.
So, my ex-husband has made it big???
And it’s far beyond what he used to be???
Once this thought formed in her mind, Karen felt completely unwell.
Anyone can succeed, but my ex-husband shouldn’t succeed!!
If he has succeeded, doesn’t that mean I was wrong? Doesn’t that mean I have no vision? Doesn’t that mean the comfortable life I’ve been pursuing was once within reach??
Karen couldn’t even dare to imagine such a situation.
In the rental apartment.
