The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

“Sit down and have a glass of water, I’ve heard from Chen that you’re doing very well.” Professor Lee waved his hand to indicate for her to sit down: “There is an old friend who is having a birthday party some time later, I want you to write an inscription for him, is there any problem?”

“Professor Lee, how would that work.” Lindsey shook her head in horror. “My handwriting is really not up to scratch, and it would be better for you to write this birthday gift yourself.”

She had guessed correctly, it really was a personal matter.

“Don’t be so quick to say no.” Professor Lee smiled brightly. “This old friend of mine is also a calligrapher, and he can write no better than I can. He has been urging me to introduce you to him since he saw the calligraphy you sent me at the last art exhibition, so I’ll take this opportunity to introduce you to him.”

Lindsey straightened her spine and agreed with a smile. “Lindsey thanked Professor Lee for his kindness, and in that case, I would dare to write one. I just don’t know when your friend’s birthday will be.”

Professor Lee was pleased with her attitude, “I think we’re almost ready for the event at the end of next month, all that’s left is to rush the painting and a few minor things that you can take time to mull over.”

Lindsey nodded heavily and followed up by asking about his friend’s temperament and his usual style, gradually gaining a better understanding.

When she left Professor Lee’s office, she received a text message from Bruce on her phone, saying that he was at Nine Lakes and would pick her up later in the evening, and that his tone was off.

Lindsey replied to him and left him alone, turned around and went to Assistant Chen’s office to let him know, then took her laptop downstairs and walked back to her flat.

After an hour of listening to the lecture at home, Lindsey took off her headphones and thought hard about what words to write to send to Professor Lee’s old friend.

The old friend had a similar experience to that of Old Mr. Grant and was a tiger in the army, so it was a bit of a headache.

Lindsey had never been in the army, but she had been taught by her three brothers and knew the rules of the army well. Although the old general has retired, his influence is still not to be underestimated.

It wasn’t hard to write, but it was more difficult to write in a way that suited his current status and wasn’t too ostentatious.

After thinking about it for a while, she lay back on her bed, remembering carefully what her grandfather had said when he taught her to practise.

She couldn’t get her head around it, so she got up again and picked a book off the shelf and opened it for inspiration.

As I watched, I fell asleep on the sofa without hearing my phone vibrate.

The call was from Larissa, and after dialing three or four times in a row, she still didn’t answer, so she smiled apologetically at Aurora on the other side of the table, “Sorry Miss Aurora, Lindsey isn’t answering her phone.”

“Give me the number.” Aurora’s exquisitely made-up face was covered in a heavy hostility. “Or you know my methods.”

“I’m sorry Miss Aurora, I can’t tell you.” Larissa instinctively refused. “I will not betray a friend.”

“Friends?” Aurora stared coldly into her eyes and smiled. “Just trying to use her connections to cling to The Hawke family, pretending to be loyal.”

“It’s true that my intentions aren’t pure, but that doesn’t stop me from treating Lindsey like a friend.” Larissa’s face turned white with anger and the hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably. “I’m sorry.”

Aurora looked at her as soon as she did like she was watching a joke and gestured gently towards the person behind her.

Larissa sensed her intent and deleted Lindsey’s phone number the first time, cold sweat running down her back.

“It’s really a shame to play a supporting role with that kind of acting.” Aurora dropped a grim remark and got up in a flutter. “I forgot to tell you, if I want to find out, there’s nothing I can’t find out.”

Leaving a dumbfounded Larissa behind, she left the cafe with the bodyguard Selena had arranged.

It was a sunny day and the sky was a rare clean, washed-out blue.

Aurora came down the stairs, squinted at the car parked at the curb and stepped forward gracefully.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The car door opened and Selena’s curious face came up abruptly, “So, did she say anything?”

“People treat Lindsey like a friend, very righteous.” Aurora taunted, her eyes falling over her shoulder to the already disfigured Tina with displeasure. “Useless thing.”

“Miss Aurora that’s not right, I’m your guest anyway, shouldn’t you think before you curse.” Tina was so angry that her words were particularly harsh. “You’re acting like a big lady every day.”

“Oh.” Aurora sneered at her. “I don’t have to pretend, and for the life of you, you can’t pretend.”

Tensions flared as the two glared at each other.

“Aurora, forget it, why bother with such a petty person?” Selena interjected with concern and reassured Aurora, “It’s not worth getting upset.”

“Hmph!” Aurora was still furious and just about threw Tina out of the car.

In silence, the car soon arrived under a media company and Selena patted Aurora soothingly as she opened the door and got out.

A few moments later, she returned to the car with a smug look on her face and raised the card in her hand. “Got it, where do we go next?”

“Drop the woman off in the suburbs and we’ll go play golf.” Aurora’s face eased and she spoke calmly, “What does Miss Tina think of that proposal.”

“You can’t do that.” Tina was furious, she should have known better than to be verbally abusive. “I’ll call the police.”

“Call the police. …” Aurora smiled meaningfully with a sideways glance. “Since Miss Tina is anxious to be famous, I don’t mind giving you a hand.”

“What do you want!” Tina was abruptly shocked, the blood fading from her face instantly.

Aurora just laughed, ignoring her questioning, and instead slowly and deliberately grabbed her phone and punched in a set of numbers to dial.

When Lindsey’s muffled voice came through the receiver, Aurora mockingly curled her lips and quickly pressed the hang-up button.

Tina’s mind went boom and her body shook with fear, her face as white as paper.

Bruce letting her go did not mean he had forgiven himself, but that he was trying to draw a snake out of a hole. If she messed with Lindsey now and he caught her, she would only die a worse death.

Aurora took in her frightened look and let out a snort of contempt from her nose as she ordered the driver to drop her off as soon as the car left town.

Selena couldn’t stop shaking her head and asked her, seemingly unconcerned, what she was going to do next.

“Grandpa’s eightieth birthday, Lindsey and Bruce will definitely be there, and I’ve never been unable to get what I want.” Aurora’s lips curled coldly, her eyes poisonous as a snake’s.

Selena was stunned, wanting to talk, but not knowing how.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t do anything about Old Mr. Palvin’s birthday, but if she did, she was afraid she would make a huge mess.

Nine Lakes Hill.

Old Mr. Grant looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and made an unhurried move, his tiger eyes bursting with lurid brilliance. “Does Rodolfo know that Lindsey is my grandson-in-law?”

“Rodolfo does not know.” Rodolfo was in a cold sweat of shock, and his hand was trembling vaguely as he held the chess piece. “Kayden has been following Lindsey’s news, and as you old man know, the boy is straight-hearted.”

“Well,” Old Mr. Grant responded, going silent.

He had a compelling and selfish reason for letting Lindsey live outside. The boy was a pure-hearted boy, and he had a good sense of discipline, but he was still lacking in polish. He had originally thought he would wait a while and then let them go through the formalities, but he didn’t know there would be a problem.

Lindsey had done nothing wrong in saving his life, and had even done a great deal of good. But Kayden’s mind was different, he’d nearly killed a girl before he was put under house arrest in Newport, and now he was looking at Lindsey, which was worrying.

Stroking his beard, Old Mr. Grant stepped out of the gazebo with his hands behind his back and his tiger eyes staring deep into the verdant yard. “You go back and tell him that Lindsey is married and is my daughter-in-law of The Grant family.”

Rodolfo followed him with trepidation, wiping his sweat.

He had said this many times, but Kayden would not listen. Once he had decided on someone or something, he could be stubborn and paranoid, and if he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have had to rush back to see Old Mr. Grant.

“Go back and keep an eye on him.” Old Mr. Grant knew he was in a difficult position, as the Depp family was an academic family from top to bottom.

The boy is naturally intelligent and has an extraordinary creativity for weapons development.

Rodolfo would have found a way to satisfy him with any girl he wanted. But he should never have fallen for Lindsey.

Rodolfo said goodbye in a panic, a thick haze gathering on his brow.

Bruce escorted him out in his wheelchair and returned to the courtyard, where he immediately offered to go with Lindsey to get married.

Old Mr. Grant gave him a sidelong glance and paced back into the living room with his hands behind his back, Bruce followed him in and got up from his wheelchair as soon as he entered, walking around irritably.

“What did Lindsey say?” Old Mr. Grant looked at him with relief, his eyes growing vaguely moist.

He had finally recovered and was no different from before.

“She said not to marry.” Bruce folded his legs in annoyance and sat down on the sofa.

“Have Lindsey come to see me.” Old Mr. Grant waved his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly.

When he had brought Lindsey back from L city, the girl had made it a condition that she would not marry, that she would not be stopped from leaving. At that time, she had also said: “I don’t judge people with malice, but I don’t put myself in danger either.

It was this statement that made him think highly of her and readily agree to her terms.

Who would have thought that, a year later, it would be he who would first feel remorse.

Bruce nodded, distracted, and sat back in his wheelchair, slowly sliding out with control.

It was clear that Grandpa meant to respect Lindsey’s decision. What exactly the terms they had negotiated in the first place were, he did not know, Lindsey would not say, Grandpa would not mention it, it was something only they knew.

The more this happens, the less he knows.

Rodolfo comes to the house , which means that Kayden is really interested in Lindsey, and it’s no wonder Edward is nervous.

She’s in a lot of trouble, but she’s saved the life of a madman.

Once in the car, Bruce closes his eyes in misery and rubs his brow as he tells Cary to go to Lindsey’s flat.
