The Tyrant Billionaire

Chapter 28: Shopping with Marissa

As he drove back in the Ford, he thought about the party he would attend tomorrow and that he needed a suitable suit.

It\'s better to have a good new car.

Siegel said he could bring a female companion, but he didn\'t have any. Hardy thought that maybe Marissa would be interested. Thinking of Marissa, Hardy turned the steering wheel and headed towards Marissa\'s house. When he came downstairs, he found that the door was locked. Marissa should be studying acting at this time.

He knew where Marissa had her classes and drove there.

After Marissa finished her class, she went downstairs with two beautiful girls and chatted about the teacher\'s lecture. As soon as she went out, she saw a tall and handsome figure standing on the street.

"Jon, why are you here?"

Marissa happily ran to the man\'s side.

"I\'m going to a party and need a suitable suit. You know men are not very good at choosing clothes. Do you have time to be my adviser?" Hardy looked at the woman and asked.

"I have time, I don\'t have classes in the afternoon, so I can accompany you." Marissa said it with a smile.

Turning around and waving to the two female companions, "Cheryl, Evie, I won\'t have lunch with you."

The two women smiled and waved goodbye. When Marissa got in the car and left, Cheryl shook her head and said, "This man is good looking, but judging from his clothes and the car he drives, he doesn\'t seem to have much money. Why would Marissa be with him?"

"Maybe she was carried away by the so called love, hahaha." Evie smiled.

Unbeknownst to Hardy, he was despised by the two women.

"What kinda of suit are you planing to buy?" Marissa asked.

"High end, tomorrow night is a relatively high end party."

"High end suits are not cheap."

"It doesn\'t matter; let\'s take a look first."

Marissa looked at Hardy and thought that if the man couldn\'t afford it, she would sponsor part of it.

Arriving at the most prosperous commercial district in Los Angeles, with high end shopping malls and specialty stores on both sides, the two walked into the \'Bookers Brothers\' store. Hardy had heard of this brand. It is said to have been founded in 1818 and is an American men\'s luxury brand. More than forty U.S. presidents have worn their suits.

Marissa helped pick out a suit, and it fit Hardy perfectly. He has a good figure and a natural ability to dress.

"Great Jon."

Marissa now calls Hardy affectionately Jon.

Hardy was also very satisfied with the suit. "This is it, Marissa. Help me pick out a coat, two shirts, two ties, a belt, and a pair of leather shoes."

He planned to buy the whole suit directly.

After putting on all the equipment, Hardy looked extremely energetic. He had a good figure and perfectly showed off his handsomeness in the suit.

After settling the bill and leaving, the total amount was more than seven hundred dollars. Hardy settled the bill without any pressure. If Marissa\'s two female companions saw him now, they would definitely not regard him as a poor boy with no money.

"Come with me to buy a car." Hardy said.

"You want to buy a car?" Marissa was slightly surprised. The cheapest car costs more than a thousand dollars, and the better ones cost two, three, or even four or five thousand. Those luxury cars even cost tens of thousands of dollars.

The two came to the car dealership. Instead of looking at cheap Fords, Hardy wandered around the luxury car area and finally spotted a beautiful sedan.

Packard, a well known luxury car in the United States, has a logo of a swan with spread wings. Unfortunately, in 1958, Packard Motor Company made many consecutive policy mistakes, leading to the company\'s bankruptcy, and the Packard brand disappeared from people\'s sight forever. It has become a swan song in people\'s memories.

The car Hardy is interested in has dark blue paint and a white roof. It is very recognizable, and it looks elegant and generous overall.

"How much does this car cost?" Hardy asked the salesman.

"$7,850." The salesman said it with a smile.

The car is beautiful, and so is the price.

"Okay, I want this car."

The salesperson was overjoyed and led Hardy to pay the bill. Marissa was surprised at how Hardy became so rich all of a sudden, but she was relieved when she thought of his identity.

Perhaps no one in this world gets rich faster than gangsters. Sometimes you can make a lot of money just by completing a deal.

"My Ford car; take it to No. XX Street for me and park it on the side of the road." Hardy ordered.

"Don\'t worry, sir, I\'ll send someone to deliver it to you right away." The salesman smiled and took the keys to the Ford.

Hardy drove Marissa away in a luxury car. Sitting in the car, Marissa looked at the car and then at the man. "Hardy, it seems you attach great importance to the party tomorrow night."

"Well, there is a party tomorrow night. Many Hollywood stars will attend, so I can\'t embarrass the host who invited me" Hardy said.

"Hollywood star\'s party?" Marissa said it with envy.

"Hardy, after you finish the party, come back and tell me who you saw, okay?"

Hardy smiled and looked at Marissa. "I can bring a female companion; are you interested?"

Marissa covered her mouth in surprise. "Hardy, is it true that you are going to take me with you?!"

"Are you willing?"

"Yes, yes, I am very willing." Marissa nodded excitedly.

But then she became nervous again. "I need to prepare well for such a high end party. I don\'t know if I have suitable clothes."

Hardy looked at Marissa, who was a little flustered, and said with a smile, "You helped me choose clothes; as a thank you, I\'ll give you an evening dress."

"Really, wow~ You\'re so nice, Hardy." Marissa hugged Hardy and kissed him hard.

Chanel store. Marissa chose an evening dress with a black lace braided upper body and a small plaid long skirt on the lower body, making her look dignified yet sexy, elegant yet with a hint of charm.

This skirt alone costs over six hundred dollars.

In this era, more than six hundred US dollars is equivalent to three months\' salary for an ordinary person.

No wonder many not so famous new stars, or even has been stars, choose to rent clothes when attending events. It turns out they are really expensive.

It was already evening after the two finished shopping.

Hardy sent Marissa home.

The woman was lying on the car window, looking at Hardy, with a confused look in her eyes. ??"Would you like to come up and do it?"

"What to do?"

"Help me see if the evening dress fits."

"I\'m afraid I might tear it into pieces if I go up to help."

"That\'s not okay. I can\'t bear to let you tear off such beautiful clothes." Marissa kissed Hardy on the face and ran upstairs happily, holding the clothes box.

"I\'ll pick you up tomorrow evening," Hardy shouted.

"Okay~!"

He drove a luxury car to Bill\'s house and parked it in the garage. Bill\'s old Ford had been delivered and it was parked on the roadside at the door.

Hardy opened the mailbox at the door and took the ford car keys from inside.

...

Driving to the downtown gathering place, Henry, Neil, and several other guys were chatting in the lobby. They stood up immediately when Hardy came in.

"The gang\'s affairs have been settled, and everything is going well," Hardy said.

Everyone had a relaxed expression on their faces. If there was no problem with the gang, it meant that their share would be collected safely.

"Is there any movement from the Spanish gang today?" Hardy asked.

When they left in the morning, Hardy ordered them to go out and inquire about the situation.

"A few of us went out to investigate separately. We just came back and had a chat. Basically, the situation is as we expected. Dani from the Spanish gang was very angry and told the outside world that we would find the people who robbed his casino at all costs." Henry said.

Hardy smiled and said, "That means they don\'t know who did it."

"The police have opened a case and announced that they will investigate with all their strength, but there is not much movement internally." Neil said.

"The police are the least to worry about," Hardy said.

After the news was almost finished, Hardy ordered everyone: "Everyone should pay more attention to what you do these days and don\'t leak any information to the outside world."

"Starting tomorrow, Sean, Reid, Richard, and Neil, you continue doing normal business and delivering goods to the bar."

"Henry, Matthew, Leo, and Kerry, the four of you go out and continue to investigate the Spanish gang to see if there are any valuable clues."

"Boss, you still want to rob the Spanish gang?" Matthew asked excitedly.

"Why not." Hardy smiled.
