Now things are very clear—the other party really did come to propose marriage, and as for the outcome, it all depends on his own answer. Having such a beautiful fiancée isn’t a bad thing, so David Hamilton replied very straightforwardly, “I don’t have any objections…”

Hearing David Hamilton agree, Grace Carter’s petite body visibly trembled.

Seeing that David Hamilton had no objections, David Hamilton’s mother quickly said from the side, “Dali, why don’t you take Gracie for a walk around, let her have a look. You two youngsters should communicate more with each other. With us around, it’s always a bit inconvenient.”

“Oh… alright then…” David Hamilton glanced at Grace Carter, and there was no need to say more—the little girl naturally knew what to do. The two of them immediately went to a study on the first floor of the villa. As soon as they entered, Grace Carter said, “I’m warning you, even though I’m your fiancée, you can’t touch me. You useless good-for-nothing, don’t get too close to me, stay away!”

Looks like the original owner of this body didn’t have much authority—even a little girl dared to boss him around.

Fortunately, the body has a new owner now. David Hamilton shrugged indifferently, “No problem, do as you like. Actually, what I want to ask is, are you good at squandering money? If you’re not, you’re not qualified to be my fiancée. Even if you insist on marrying me, I might not necessarily marry you.” Hah, just from the way you talk, I know exactly what you’re up to. Isn’t it just to get some money first, and then when your family recovers and has more say, you’ll break off the engagement? I’m not that stupid. When the time comes, you’ll say something like ‘Don’t look down on the poor when they’re young’? I might as well give you a taste of my attitude right now.

So what if you’re a favored daughter of heaven? I need a wife who can squander money with me—that’s the only way to get attribute points and complete the system’s tasks. If I marry someone thrifty and diligent, how am I supposed to squander money then?!

Chapter 0003: Squandering Money Is a Skill

After hearing David Hamilton’s words, Grace Carter was first delighted, then her pretty face turned pale with anger. Although she had planned from the start to break off the engagement later, being told to her face by David Hamilton that even if she wanted to marry him, he might not be willing—how could Grace Carter, who had always been a favored daughter of heaven in everyone’s eyes, bear that?

In fact, she had calculated almost every possibility, except that David Hamilton would actually ask her this question. If she said she couldn’t squander money, then she’d be at odds with David Hamilton, and if the discussion broke down now, her family’s crisis wouldn’t be resolved. If she said she could, that would be a blatant lie. In the end, Grace Carter could only reply angrily, “I don’t know, I’ve never tried!”

“Oh, alright then.” Time was tight, and there was no time to bicker with this little girl. Getting out to squander money and complete the task was the real business. David Hamilton said expressionlessly, “Alright, that’s the situation, that’s how things are. If there’s nothing else, I’m going out to squander money. You stay here for a while.”

“You—” Grace Carter never expected David Hamilton to just leave like that. With her family background and looks, people always wished they could spend every minute with her, so how could she imagine David Hamilton would be completely uninterested? She was clearly at a loss for words, then stomped her foot in anger, “How can you be so rude and have no manners at all? Are you really going to just leave me here?” She had come to propose marriage today—if after just a few words David Hamilton ran off by himself, how embarrassing would that be?

“Hah, I knew you wouldn’t let me go out alone.” David Hamilton had already guessed she wouldn’t agree. He’d pretty much figured out the purpose of her and her parents coming to his house to propose. If he really went out alone, that would be like the sun rising in the west. He grinned and said, “Then come with me and squander money together!”

He raised his hands high: “I’m going to become the king of squanderers!”

Grace Carter’s pretty face turned pale with anger, but she was helpless. “You prodigal, it’s so embarrassing to be with you!”

David Hamilton didn’t care how she judged him. The two of them immediately went out, and David Hamilton reached out to his mother, “Give me money, I’m taking Gracie to squander together.”

“Ahem, ahem, ahem!” Richard Carter started coughing violently again. But since he needed help, he could only glare and pretend he didn’t hear the meaning behind those words. He waved at Grace Carter, “Gracie, go out and have fun with David. I’ll talk with your Uncle Hong about some things.”

David Hamilton’s mother took a card out of her bag and stuffed it into David Hamilton’s hand, doting on him, “David, if you see anything Gracie likes, buy more for her. There’s about three hundred thousand yuan in this card. If it’s not enough, I’ll have Aunt Miller transfer more to you later. The password is six zeros, don’t forget.”

“Oh…” David Hamilton took the card and shrugged indifferently. He suddenly asked Grace Carter beside him, “How much pocket money do you get in a day?”

Grace Carter didn’t even look at him and pouted, “Five hundred yuan a day, and I can’t even spend it all.”
