Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 151 A pair of deceitful love scammers!

The art exhibition of York Brimstone did not get rescheduled despite the occurrence of the energy resurgence.

Not everyone believed that this energy resurgence would grant them special abilities. The authorities did all they could to dispel such rumors, using "science" to explain the phenomenon. Basically, it was attributed to a celestial body passing by Earth, causing abnormal magnetic field fluctuations, which led to the "revival of all things."

They also clarified that only plant life was affected by this magnetic disturbance.

This explanation was the result of collaborative research by many scholars. Even though many people had their doubts, most people around the world trusted in science. The mysterious magnetic field fluctuations causing rampant plant growth, coupled with previously observed strange phenomena, were largely seen as just a spectacle.

Especially since no one awakened any special abilities, this essentially verified the explanation given.

The occurrence of such a phenomenon on the day of York Brimstone's exhibition only added a legendary hue to the art show.

"William, you're such a skilled cook, you could easily run your own restaurant. Why did you choose to work at a bar before?"

After lunch, Bella became even more convinced of William's exceptional culinary skills; they were absolutely top-notch. With his culinary skills, any restaurant he opened would no doubt be successful.

And during the meal, William also told Maria that he can cook all kinds of breakfasts, and asked her to think about what she wants to learn, so he can teach her.

With such great cooking skills, was it necessary to work at a bar?

William simply replied, "I enjoyed working at the bar."

Ha! Typical male behavior!

Bella pursed her lips, unable to continue the conversation.

Of course, it was enjoyable, with so many wealthy women sharing drinks with him, and a good salary to boot; how could it not be enjoyable?

Alice stood by and listened without saying anything. How could Bella, this busty woman, possibly know how amazing her master is?

"Master, let's take my car. We'll go pick up your girlfriend, Evelyn." Although Alice had believed what Bella said earlier, now that they were alone, there was nothing to hide. She said to Bella, "Bella, you go ahead to the exhibition and wait for us there."

Hearing the name "girlfriend Evelyn" left Bella stunned. Did William have a girlfriend?

The art exhibition of York Brimstone was held in York Brimstone's private club.

The tickets to York Brimstone's exhibition were given away to some of New York's wealthy individuals and friends within York Brimstone's circle.

After all, they planned to auction off the artworks and host a charity gala.

Such a gathering resembled a meeting of New York's high society; around seventy percent of those who appeared at the exhibition were members of the club.

To become a member of this club, one needed to provide proof of having at least tens of millions in assets.

Of course, wealthy families like the Bell and Turner families would be directly sent membership cards.

All along the way, Alice did her best to explain to William the purpose behind York Brimstone organizing this art exhibition.

Once Evelyn got in the car, Alice tentatively asked, "Cousin, you aren't really going to pretend to be Bella's boyfriend, are you?"

Pretend to be a boyfriend?

Evelyn looked at William curiously.

William said nonchalantly, "I've already agreed to it. She gave me 2000 dollars; why wouldn't I agree?"

Alice snorted at this reason. Although she thought her master was quite incredible, how could he have such a strong heart to pretend to be someone else's boyfriend in front of the girl he liked?

Evelyn couldn't help but laugh at his statement, saying, "Your appearance fee is quite high, isn't it?"

William nodded, "Rich people's daughters, naive and flush with cash."

"Cough!" Alice coughed lightly, wondering who he was insulting; didn't she count as one?

Evelyn said, "If your employer hears you talk like this, your business opportunity will surely go down the drain."

William responded, "Of course she won't hear it. I still need to earn a living."

Alice really wanted to roll her eyes at William. With all the wealth you have, do you still need to make a living?

Selling just one of the antique tea sets at home would be enough to live comfortably, right?

However, Alice did not reveal the truth; after all, her goal was to make it clear to Evelyn that William would just be playing a part later on to avoid any misunderstandings. As his apprentice, doing this much should already be pretty good. Knowing William's personality, he generally wouldn't spend time explaining to others.

Does he really think that this would be enough to win her over?

When William and the others arrived, Bella was still standing at the entrance of the club. Besides her, there was a man with a small braid talking to her about something.

Upon seeing William and the others, Bella quickly greeted them, her face beaming with smiles as she exclaimed, "William, why did you arrive just now?"

William remembered the favor he had promised Bella before. He had taken her money, so he had to do the task for her. It wasn't something as serious as committing murder; it was just helping her to annoy someone, wasn't it?

"It's only been a short time since we parted, and you missed me already?"

In William's eyes, there was a gentle expression, and with a natural smile, he stepped forward and took Bella's hand, completely resembling a couple deeply in love.

"..." Bella was stunned. Who had said that he wouldn't pretend to be her boyfriend?

What was the situation with this look, this smile, and holding hands so directly?

Was it because she didn't pay enough last time?

William chuckled, "Why are you dazed? Let's go in."

At this point, he had essentially let loose. He had previously accompanied rich older women for drinks at the bar; pretending to be a boyfriend wasn't akin to getting married, it was still acceptable.

William wasn't a stodgy old man; he had been a playboy in the romance scene before. Although he was facing Bella now, he was also keeping an eye on Evelyn's facial expressions.

Since Evelyn knew he was acting, he might as well make it a bit more real.

If Evelyn truly harbored different feelings for him, seeing this scene would surely provoke a special expression on her face.

Jealousy could alter someone's appearance.

Unfortunately, William noticed that apart from shock, there were no other emotions mixed in on Evelyn's face.

Indeed, the Evelyn after this reincarnation didn't develop deep affection for him immediately upon meeting him, unlike women from before who easily fell for him.

However, he didn't notice that Alice's eyes were nearly popping out of her head.

Oh my God! This is too much! Absolutely outrageous!

When has her mentor ever smiled so warmly?

And even actively holding Bella's hand so tenderly!

Holding Bella's hand right in front of Evelyn?!

If Alice hadn't known in advance that they were putting on an act, she might have suspected that there was something going on between them already.

Bella quickly regained her composure, after all, she wasn't a na?ve young girl. Although she subconsciously pulled her hand back when William held it, she quickly relaxed and smiled, playing along by saying, "Shall we go in?"

Earlier, the man who had been chatting with Bella at the entrance of the club was completely outraged, his face turning an ashen hue.

The date supposedly arranged by his family turned into a spectacle of her being affectionate with another man right in front of him, hand in hand. It was not just a simple case of being upstaged; it was a downright humiliation.

Alice and the man almost simultaneously cursed inwardly, "A pair of deceitful love scammers!"
