"Hey! Mabel!" Mary saw her cousin Mabel standing on the street and quickly opened the window to signal her husband to stop the car.

Without needing her to say anything, Belland had already stopped the car.

"Are you calling for a taxi? We'll give you a ride. Come on in." Mary was very happy to see Mabel, even though her cousin's personality was not very likable.

Mabel was beautiful, with long blonde wavy hair. Her figure was curvaceous. She was wearing a short dress that wrapped tightly around her body highlighting her figure.

She glanced at the second-hand vintage car that Mary was in. "Oh, your husband has been working in New York for a few months, and he hasn't changed to a more comfortable car?"

Mary was disappointed with Mabel's attitude. This woman always disappointed her.

At this moment, a silver-gray sports car stopped in front of the Belland car.

The Mazda MX-5 was not considered a luxury car, but it was the number one car sold this year. Of course, being the most popular car did not necessarily mean that it was expensive. Still, for now, the price was something that Mary could afford.

"Hey, Jerry." Mabel welcomed the owner of the sports car. She hugged and kissed him passionately.

Mabel then said to Mary, who was still sticking her head out of the car window, "I would love to invite you to experience it, but unfortunately, there's no space. I'll see you at home."

As she said that, she twisted her graceful body and turned around. Before she turned, she even winked flirtatiously at Belland, who was seated in the second-hand vintage car.

After getting into the car, Jerry asked Mabel, "Who are they?"

Mabel was bored by this question. "Don't bother with them. It's my cousin and her poor husband. Mary was the prettiest in our family when she was young. She was also the best in all aspects. It's a pity that she found a man with no ambition."

Jerry smiled casually. "The man driving the car is her husband? I can guarantee that he used his face to deceive your cousin."

--

As the sports car drove away, Mary retracted her head in disappointment. "She didn't even introduce her new boyfriend to me. Well, Mabel has always been like this, with her petty and condescending personality."

Mary was mainly sorry that her husband had been left out.

Belland, however, did not care at all. He even commented, "At least it's better than those sneaky people who have knives hidden behind their smiles."

The car stopped in front of Uncle Jack's courtyard.

Uncle Jack had lived in a small town in his early years, but he had made a lucky windfall in the coal mine industry and his whole family moved to the Upper East Side.

Mary was certain that the quality and financial resources of Uncle Jack's family was not quite at the level of the Upper East Side. After all, when one thought of the Upper East Side, one would immediately associate it with power and wealth.

However, Uncle Jack and his family were just upstarts trying to squeeze into this circle of wealth.

For example, Mabel had been dating around a lot as she was determined to become a standard socialite. Until now, she had not found someone good enough to carry her into the upper class.

Either she thought it was the right person, and they did not choose her, or they thought she was the right person but she ended up looking down on their wealth.

After Mary got out of the car, she quickly found her parents among the people chatting in front of the gate. At the same time, she remembered that her husband seemed to have wanted to say something. "What did you want to say to me just now?".

Belland smiled helplessly. "I love you."

Mary happily held onto Belland's arm.

Fortunately, she had a thoughtful husband. After all, what she was most worried about was that her husband would feel sad because of Uncle Jack's family's neglect today.

"Promise me that you won't take their words to heart later. After all, they don't know anything." Mary comforted Belland in advance.
