The French magnate felt helpless at the couple's attitude toward him. The concealed bump on his forehead ached, but for the sake of his company's survival and continued membership in Cross Academy's exclusive business network, he swallowed his pride and pretended not to notice the couple's indifference.

He smiled and spoke to Iris. "Madame Jin, I truly apologize for my transgressions. I hope that the gifts that I sent you yesterday are to your liking. If not, please let me know what you like and I'll do everything in my power to get it for you."

"No need," Jin Liwei said before Iris could say anything. "My wife doesn't need anything from you. I already told you yesterday that we're even now because our son had injured you. We accepted the gifts of apology you sent so that you won't feel the need to keep on giving us things to prove your sincerity."

The French magnate controlled his anxiety, trying hard not to let it show on his face. After his gaffe at the gentlemen's gathering yesterday, he noticed the group of men's change of attitude toward him.

Although they didn't blatantly isolate him at the party today, he could feel that they were distancing themselves from him. He had unknowingly offended CEO Liam Jin and Sir Lu Jianhong.

He would never have imagined that he would be reduced to humbling himself in front of others. After he became a billionaire, he felt like he was on top of the world. He had the wealth and power to do basically whatever he wanted.

It was only after his business partner, who was a Cross Academy alumnus, died that he realized the importance of belonging to the academy's exclusive business network. If his company lost its membership there, its value would most definitely plummet. It wouldn't go bankrupt, but it would lose a lot of valuable connections and resources.

He didn't want that to happen. He was ready to do anything to retain his company's membership.

But after his gaffe yesterday and noticing the change in attitude of the group of gentlemen toward him, he knew that he must do something.

First, he needed to appease Mr. and Mrs. Jin. Then maybe they could intervene on his behalf.

Earlier, he noticed that the couple left with Sir Lu Jianhong and his friends plus the nerdy tech billionaire. They stayed inside for quite a while. When they came out, he observed that everyone seemed much more polite to Madame Jin.

The nerdy tech billionaire had the most notable change in attitude toward Madame Jin. After they returned to the party, the younger man looked like he was ready to worship Madame Jin.

"Why did you have to act like a bootlicker?" his young model wife asked, the dissatisfaction clear in her expression. "So embarrassing!"

"If I didn't act that way, the wealth you're enjoying right now might disappear," he said.

Her eyes widened. "What do you mean by that? They're the ones who're asking for a favour to look after Liberté!"

"It might look like that in your eyes, but they're the ones who're doing me favour. Just do as I say and be respectful to Mr. and Mrs. Jin if you see them. Do not, for the life of me, offend them. Especially Madame Jin! I'm telling you. If you drag me down with your foolishness, I'll divorce you."

She pouted. Her eyes followed Iris Long and Liam Jin, feeling envious of their relationship. After watching them interact throughout the entire party, it was obvious that the two were very much in love.

She had thought that Iris Long would be the same as her, but no. Iris Long had a husband who loved her.

What about her? She looked at her French billionaire husband. He didn't look as handsome as Liam Jin, neither was he as wealthy as Liam Jin.

"Let's go," her husband said, dragging her away.

She pouted again, feeling sorry for herself.

"I'll buy you a handbag later," he suddenly said.

Her eyes lit up. "I love you, hubby!"

What was the use of love?

Money was the best!
