Jeff’s irritation grew as he spotted Charlie’s stunning wife. With a sarcastic grin, he called out, “Hey, Charlie! It’s been ages since west met—wow, you’ve really changed! You look so polished and shiny, like a typical toyboy and moocher!”


    He examined Charlie from head to toe, shaking his head in mock disbelief. “If only I had known how easy it was to be a stay-at-home husband, I wouldn’t have spent years grinding away. Look at me! After all that hard work, and sacrificing my health in the process, I’ve only just been promoted to director. It’s embarrassing to evenpare myself to someone like you, the king of moochers!”


    Jeff’s cynical jabs at Charlie were meant to lift his own social standing while belittling Charlie at the same time.


    His gaze wandered to the young and attractive Lisa, who had captured his attention. Since ire was out of reach, Lisa, with her smooth skin and wless features, seemed like the next best thing!


    Reflecting on their time at the orphanage, Jeff couldn’t believe he hadn’t noticed how beautiful Lisa would be. If only he had known back then, he could have pursued her!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Meanwhile, the friends behind Jeff exchanged knowing smirks as they listened to his taunts directed at Charlie. Although they didn’t voice their opinions, their disdain was evident.


    In contrast, Charlie stood still, his expression calm like a tranquilke.


    ire, however, was clearly irritated. “Excuse me, sir, but could you please watch your words? My husband hasn’t done anything to provoke you, so why speak so rudely? And honestly, what difference does it make to you whether my husband is a moocher or not? Does he mooch off you?”


    Jeff’s eyes widened in surprise; he hadn’t anticipated such a fierce response from Charlie’s beautiful wife!


    Life felt so unfair! Here he was, a hardworking man, and yet he couldn’t have a wife as perfect as hers.


    Was the saying true—‘marriage goes by contrast’?!


    His frustration mounted as he sneered, “Sweetheart, I’m not mocking your husband; I’m just stating the truth. A beauty like you marrying a deadbeat like him is akin to putting new wine in old bottles!”


    “You’re just an outsider! Whatever happens between my husband and me is none of your concern! You have no right to judge us!”


    Jeff stood there, stunned and bewildered. Not only was ire beautiful, but she also clearly loved her husband deeply, which only fueled his jealousy!


    Lisa, equally annoyed, chimed in, “Hey! Jeff Mowry! What’s your problem? Did Charlie ever bother you? Why be so rude to him? You haven’t changed one bit; you’re still just as terrible!”


    Jeff felt a surge of anger at her words.


    Why was Lisa siding with Charlie? What was so great about this loser? Why were all the attractive women backing him?


    While it made sense for ire to support Charlie as his wife, Lisa had no connection to him—so why was she acting this way?


    The more Jeff looked at Lisa, the more he realized what a gem she was!


    Tall and slender, with an impable physique in her early twenties, her pouty face was irresistibly cute and charming. He found himself wanting to pull her into his arms and kiss her!


    How wonderful it would be if he could win over this adorable girl!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong><fnf> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on </fnf>
