“Miss, please add this dress as well as the other clothes Janice has tried on to the bill! I’ll take all of
them!” Leon declared confidently.
“Yes, Sir! I’ll put it on your tab right now!” the salesgirl was absolutely over the moon. She quickly
placed the clothes into a paper bag, the grin on her face so wide it was as though her cheeks would
split apart at any
moment.
“Wait, miss! I don’t want any of them…” Janice quickly stepped forward to stop her.
“Janice, you look amazing in these clothes. Why would you not want them?” Leon was puzzled by this.
“I…” Janice’s face was red with embarrassment, but she could no longer hide her humiliation. She
whispered to him, “I don’t have that much money…”
“No money?” the color drained from the salesgirl’s face.

come to the realization that these two fooled her all along!
“Sir, do you still want these clothes?” she asked, the smile frozen on her face.
As a well–trained sales attendant in a high–end fashion store, no matter how furious she was, she
could not lose her temper with any of her customers.
“Of course we do!” Leon answered without a moment’s hesitation.
“Have you gone insane, Leon? These clothes cost tens of thousands of dollars in total, I can’t afford
them at all…” Janice lost her cool. She could not understand why Leon still tried to put on a show at
this point.
“Don’t worry; I can afford it. Miss, I’ll pay by card!” Leon said, smiling, as he handed his bank card to
the
salesgirl.
The salesgirl’s face lit up with delight when she recognized the Rivercity Bank’s credit card.
The fact that Leon possessed this card proved that he was of an exceptionally wealthy background, so
he could easily afford to pay the bill!
Although she still could not understand why Janice acted so strangely, the salesgirl decided to ignore it
and instead took the card from him.
Janice was stunned as she watched Leon swipe the card.
“Leon, these clothes cost tens of thousands of dollars. Where… where did you get all this money
from?”
She was familiar with Leon’s background; he was an orphan since birth, and not long ago, he went
through a divorce and was kicked out of his ex–wife’s house with nothing in his name.
She thought Leon probably had, at most, a few thousand dollars to get on by, but never in her wildest
dreams did she think he would be able to afford this huge sum without even blinking an eye.
This was unbelievable!
“I… I got involved in stone gambling a while ago and managed to make some good money out of it…”

finally replied after some hesitation.
He did not want to explain too much to Janice, considering that it involved too many technicalities, so
he decided to gloss it over.
“What’s stone gambling?” Janice asked blankly. She never got involved in any related industries
before, so it was not surprising that she never heard of this before.
“Well, it involves a lot of luck. It’s just like buying a lottery ticket; you spend a few thousand dollars
buying a mineral rock, and if it turns out to be a valuable jade or gemstone, you’ll be able to turn a profit
overnight…” Leon tried to explain it as briefly as he could.
“Is… isn’t this gambling?” the color drained from Janice’s face. She did not know that this was. She
was not sure if it was a legitimate career and thought Leon got involved in something against the law.
“Leon, gambling’s dangerous! Please listen to me; you should never ever try something like this
again!”
