After the news broke, many women were filled with envy and curiosity. Everyone was eager to learn who the fortunate woman was, receiving such a grand gesture—a man willing to spend millions in a single night to rent out the entire Sky Garden just to declare his love! Anticipation buzzed in the air as people looked forward to witnessing this extraordinary event for themselves. To keep his identity under wraps, Charlie instructed Isaac to make special arrangements for the Sky Garden on the day of the celebration. He was excitedly counting down to the occasion, determined to present Claire with an unforgettable wedding anniversary celebration!

The next morning, Charlie arrived at the car dealership bright and early. He carried a bank card with a staggering balance of ten billion dollars, most of which he had yet to touch. This time, he planned to splurge on a luxury car for Claire—something elegant and impressive. Initially, he considered purchasing a Rolls-Royce, but he quickly hesitated, worrying that Claire might not accept such an extravagant gift. Explaining how he could afford such a pricey vehicle would be a challenge, and knowing her low-key personality, she might dislike driving something so ostentatious. After weighing all these factors, he opted for a sedan priced at around five hundred thousand dollars.

Cars in this price range were impressive without being overly flashy, practical for everyday use, and it wouldn’t be a major issue if she happened to ding or scratch it. The ideal choice for him was an Audi A6. This model was popular among well-heeled businessmen and exuded a sense of exclusivity. The extended sedan style also made it a perfect fit for his wife. Upon arriving at the Audi 4S dealership, Charlie parked his modest scooter at the entrance and walked inside. The two sales executives on duty quickly straightened themselves up upon seeing a customer enter, while a woman behind them sighed in irritation, “Ugh, that guy rode in on a scooter. He’s probably just here for the air conditioning or WiFi. Just ignore him.”

As soon as they learned he arrived on a scooter, their interest waned. Given the scorching heat, many people would sneak into the showroom seeking refuge in the cool air; some even had the audacity to lounge in the cars and refuse to leave. The frustrated sales staff often had to call security to remove these unwelcome guests. Charlie, with his scooter and unremarkable attire, certainly didn’t look like someone who could afford an Audi. Unsurprisingly, no one came to assist him, but he paid little mind and made his way directly to the showroom, where various A6 models were on display. He discovered that prices ranged from three hundred to six hundred thousand dollars. The top-tier model, priced at six hundred thousand dollars, was the long-wheelbase executive version. It was indeed an impressive vehicle, and Charlie felt confident that Claire would appreciate the reasonable price. He declared, “Do you have this top-spec A6 in stock? I want to buy it today!”

The sales executives exchanged glances, regarding him as if he were foolish. One of them sneered, “Have you even looked at the price tag? Did you miscount the zeros?”

Charlie frowned. “I saw that it’s six hundred and eighteen thousand dollars.”
