Chapter 200
Chuck's Porsche 911 cost more than five million dollars, whereas Matthew's Land Rover cost nearly four million dollars. There was a difference of around a million dollars. Indeed, Chuck's was much more expensive.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became silent from Chuck's statement.
Matthew's face twitched, and his expression darkened. It was as if someone had punched him. He couldn't believe that the car was actually his!
He should've been the one showing off, not Chuck! Mathew was filled with anger.
"It's a little expensive, but is this car really yours? I have a friend who owns a car rental company, and he rents out all sorts of Porsche, Rolls-Royce... Don't tell me that you..." Matthew smiled and stopped talking, but everyone immediately understood.
"Yes, he definitely rented it. After all, it took him such a long time to return."
The other classmates looked at each other, and all of them came to their senses. They began to whisper amongst each other and doubted Chuck again.
"Matthew is right. There are a lot of car rental companies with simple registration procedures, so you must've rented it!"
"I think so too. My friend managed to rent one for one thousand dollars a day..."
"What? A thousand dollars? My friend rented his for only 800 dollars!"
Yvette still didn't move. She thought that the car looked very familiar. After some time, she realized that it was the car parked at the plaza! She saw it with Chuck the other day...
Yvette even mentioned that she would buy one for her husband. However, it turned out that he had already gotten himself one.
Chuck glanced at Matthew, opened the car door, and took out his driving permit. For a moment, everyone was stunned to their core.
Matthew's expression turned extremely sour.
Everyone else took a deep breath, and even the class monitor was shocked.
It really was his!
"Are you convinced it's mine now?" Chuck asked calmly.
Matthew stared at Chuck and felt his face turning red from the shame. It was as though someone had given him a few slaps.
"It's yours." Matthew had no choice but to grit his teeth and admit.
"Okay. Didn't you want to go to the bar? Are we still going?" Chuck asked.
"Of course, everyone, get into the car!" Matthew snorted as he walked towards his car. The class monitor followed behind him and said curiously, "Matthew, his car looks new, doesn't it? I wonder how its performance is like."
To tell the truth, he had never been in a sports car before.
"Why don't you go with him instead?" Matthew scoffed.
The class monitor was embarrassed and did not speak.
"Wow! Can I sit in his car?"
"Yes, I want to ride in his car too! I've never been in a sports car before!"
"It's so beautiful. It must be so cool to sit inside."
Several students gathered around Chuck's car with anticipation. The three classmates who were going to ride in Yvette's car a moment ago rushed over as well. "Sorry, this car can't hold so many people," Chuck said.
"Don't be like that. We can squeeze. I've never been in a sports car before." Some classmates pouted and tried to flash their best puppy eyes at them. "Yeah, we can squeeze at the back. Don't be so stingy."
Chuck was resolute and said to Yvette, "It can only fit two people, so how are you going to fit inside? Take someone else's car. Honey, get in the car!" Yvette suddenly came to her senses, and she entered Chuck's car nervously.
"Wow, he actually owns a sports car. How could he be so rich? Is he Yvette's sugar daddy?"
"I think so. Why can't I find a boyfriend this rich?"
"I'm really envious."
"That's enough. Let's squeeze into another car."
"Alright."
The girls were all jealous as they reluctantly walked to another car.
Matthew stared at Chuck's sports car and smirked. He was ready to continue the battle with him at the bar.
He led them to the bar, and everyone followed behind.
Chuck's sports car engine roared loudly as he followed behind.
"Chuck, when did you buy this car?" Yvette asked curiously. This was the first time she had been in such a car. When rich kids with sports cars tried to pursue her during high school, she refused them every time.
"About 20 days ago," Chuck said.
Yvette asked softly, "Chuck, since you parked the car at the plaza, why didn't you drive it?"
Chuck smiled, "I told you before that I own a car, but you didn't believe me."
Yvette questioned, "Of course I believed you. I just didn't expect you to buy such an expensive car. It's around five million dollars... When did you get so rich? Where did you get all that money?" Chuck's recent changes were so dramatic that she could barely find an ounce of him from the past.
She wondered where he got all that money from. She was curious now that he had proven that he owned a sports car. Besides, he just bought her a Benz. How did he earn all that money? Was it from Zelda Maine? Or the person in the Rolls-Royce from Central City?
"I've told you, I'm..." Chuck stopped.
"Hubby, are you trying to tell me you're a child of a rich family?" Yvette was speechless and didn't really believe it. They had grown up together, and she would definitely know if he had a rich background. Chuck felt awkward and helpless. His mother warned him not to say anything yet just so she could observe Yvette better. That was why Chuck stopped his sentence midway.
However, even if he were to tell her now, Yvette would probably not believe him.
"Chuck, I'm glad that you're rich, but you can't do anything illegal. You know that, right? I beg you," Yvette said in a low and sincere voice.
She suspected that it was Zelda who bought him the car. However, she was also worried that he had gotten the money through illegal activities.
Chuck flashed her an assuring smile, "Don't worry, I didn't do anything illegal."
Yvette felt a little relieved. Then, she suddenly thought of the BMW 7 series next to her car this morning. She remembered that Chuck had asked if she wanted to take the car, so could it belong to him as well? "Hubby..."

"The BMW 7 Series this morning, does it belong to you?" Yvette whispered.
"No."
"Chuck, don't lie to me. It was definitely yours. You even asked if I wanted to drive it. I've seen the 7 series several times... I..." Yvette pouted coquettishly.
She felt embarrassed and shy. Chuck had tried to invite her into the car several times, but she didn't believe him. What a joke she must've been.
Chuck couldn't bear Yvette's soft voice since he had never heard her like this before. Her voice sounded as sweet as honey.
"Honey, you have to be serious!" Chuck said.
Yvette tried to hold in her laughter as she said, "Chuck, is it really yours?"
"Yes, you can drive that tomorrow." Chuck chuckled.
"But, isn't that car worth more than two million dollars? I'm afraid that I'll crash it. It would be very expensive to repair," Yvette said in a low voice. She did not have the confidence to drive such an expensive car but she wanted to give it a try.
To be honest... she was surprised. If he had the money to buy her a new car, and if he actually owned the seven series and also this sports car, how rich could he be? Was he really from a rich family? No, that couldn't be!
Like herself, Chuck had been an orphan since he was a child. He was definitely not from a rich family background. Yvette shook her head and dismissed the idea. If he was really rich, how could Chuck have stayed poor for so long?
At that moment, Yvette wondered. If Chuck wasn't from a rich family, then how did he suddenly become so rich so quickly?
"It's okay if you accidentally crash it," Chuck said. He figured that as long as his wife liked it, she could crash the car all she wanted. As long as she was safe. He had the ability to repair them anyways. "No, I must be careful when driving it. I'll be very distressed if I damage it in any way," Yvette said seriously. It was so expensive and extravagant that she probably didn't dare to speed on the road.
Chuck smiled and held Yvette's hand. Her face turned as red as a tomato. She felt that today's events seemed like a dream. She couldn't believe that she was sitting in a sports car right now! She was also embarrassed since she even told Chuck that she would buy him this one day....
"Chuck, although you already have this car, I will still buy one for you once I am rich enough. Don't worry," Yvette was adamant.
She knew that all men liked sports cars.
Chuck was moved by her words, and he decided to treat Yvette better. He couldn't disappoint the wife that he had grown up with. Suddenly, Chuck noticed that Matthew had stopped in front of a bar. The moment he saw the bar's name, he smiled...
