Chapter 176
"Well, Felicia's mother must have had a hard tcoming here with all that olive oil she brought us. What would
be a good gift for her? Should we give her that Silence store in Welsington City?" Mom asked.
"Please don't..." | quickly stopped her, explaining that | hadn't revealed my wealth and had no intention of doing
so.
"At the end of the day, it's still uncertain whether Felicia and | would end up together. We're just in the early
stages of dating, so don't do anything grand. Besides, even if you give them the store, they wouldn't know how
to manage it."
Mom felt rather comforted by my words. "Will, you've really becmuch more mature and dependable now. It
seems that sending you to study in Welsington City was the right decision.
"You wouldn't believe how crazy sof the children of wealthy families who went abroad have gotten. They're
partying non-stop, and two of them have even had kids!"

After a short pause, she continued, "How about this-giveher contact info. I'll send sprofessionals to her
hometown to help with land planning and reforms. That way, she won't end up with an empty harvest this year
and can make smoney."
| thought that it was a great idea, so | immediately agreed.
Although Mom said it was just to avoid an empty harvest, | knew that with her involvement, Felicia's family was
bound to make a decent profit this year.
That evening, | brought the pickles back to the dorm and shared swith Benjamin and the others.
Matthew found them tasty and insisted on giving sto Isabelle.
| was worried Isabelle might judgefor them, but to my surprise, she didn't. Instead, she senta message
to thank me. That slightly changed my impression of Isabelle for the better.
The next day, | arrived at the resort early in the morning.
The first thing | asked Mrs. Cylon was whether she had slept well.
Smiling, she replied, "I had great sleep. The suite is spacious, and there are several mattress firmness options. |
chose one similar to the one at hand slept very soundly."
"That's good to hear. Have you had breakfast?"
As soon as | asked, the mother and daughter couldn't help but laugh, which confused me. "What's so funny? Did
you not eat, or was the food not to your liking?"
Felicia pulledto sit beside her, grinning as she recounted the funny incident from that morning.

Naturally, they blew up on the spot, accusing the resort of fraud and almost getting into a fight with the
manager.
Initially, the manager thought that they were close toand wanted to doa favor by waiving the bill But
once Felicia and her mother appeared, the group redirected their anger at them and started berating them
harshly.
The manager knew that Felicia was my girlfriend, so she immediately understood the situation. Since we weren't
actually close with those people the manager handled it strictly by the book and insisted on
coffecting payment, whicalated
to the point where the police were called.
Ultimately, even with the police involved, it didn't help them since they were in the wrong. They called one of
their relatives to cand help, but they sided with the resort instead.
Eventually, Veronica was forced to pay the bill out of her own pocket since Louis had no money left.
Felicia burst out laughing when she reached the end. "I've never seen Veronica look so miserable!"
