Once they were gone, Aaron turned to the sales representative and commanded, "Pack that necklace and bring it here. Hurry up.""Yes, Sir. I’ll do it right away," the sales representative responded, not daring to hesitate as she rushed to follow his orders.Meanwhile, Aaron leaned closer to Richard and whispered apologetically, "Please accept the necklace as a gift. It’s on the house, and I sincerely apologize for my staff’s behavior. I hope you’ll take it, so I can have some peace of mind tonight."After a brief pause, Richard nodded."Alright."Aaron sighed in relief when Richard accepted the gift.This either meant that Richard wasn’t angry with him anymore or that he had been forgiven.Phew! Thank goodness!The sales representative returned, holding the wrapped necklace.To everyone's surprise, instead of handing the package to Aaron, she respectfully presented it to Richard with a deep bow."Sir, is this to your satisfaction?" she asked, keeping her head lowered.Richard nodded as

Richard turned to Sabrina."Why don’t you confirm with Carter if his father really sent the gifts?"Sabrina, her brow furrowing in confusion."What are you talking about? Of course, it’s Carter helping me out."She couldn’t fathom the idea that anyone other than Carter would send such luxurious gifts."Didn’t you receive an emerald necklace from Timeless Beauty and three invitation cards?"Richard questioned.Sabrina felt a chill run through her.How could Richard possibly know what was inside her gift?He had just returned, and the gift was already sealed.The necklace, the three cards—had he somehow read her mind?Or, even more unsettling, had he been right all along?Was Carter’s father really not behind these lavish gifts?Before Sabrina could find her voice, Laura cut through the silence, her words dripping with disdain."Oh, please! We’re not idiots, Richard. You’re just jealous of Carter because you can’t even come close to his success."Richard chuckled at the accusation.Even

Sabrina scoffed."Do you really think bargaining will make you worth millions?"“That price doesn’t even scratch the surface of my value,” Richard replied with a wink.“But seeing how eager you are, I decide not to make it too difficult for you. I’ll offer a 99.99999999999999999% discount, so it will be just one hundred thousand. How about it?”Richard chuckled inwardly.Sabrina's jaw dropped.She couldn’t believe what she'd just heard.Holy crap!She had never encountered such shamelessness in her entire life.This was the unfortunate consequence of marrying a useless man—a man who would live off her wealth without contributing anything, and still think so high of himself.Her glare deepened, and so did her disdain.But she had no choice. She didn’t want Richard spending the night with her, and her patience had finally worn thin.Stepping forward, she coldly said, "I hate you, and I don’t want you near me. I’ll pay you to sleep elsewhere, so stay away! You better take the money, or y

He had his own affairs to handle, which the Lansdownes could only dream of reaching his level.With just a snap of his fingers, he could make their wildest wishes a reality.If he so desired, the wealthiest families in the city could lose everything, their fortunes vanishing and businesses crumbling into bankruptcy.But what good would it do to explain this to a woman as arrogant and narrow-minded as Mrs. Lansdowne?Still, Mrs. Lansdowne snorted, her displeasure written clearly across her face.In her eyes, Richard was not only an incompetent son-in-law, but he also couldn't help Sabrina in the slightest.And yet, he had the audacity to speak freely while depending entirely on their daughter.She wished Carter had made his proposal sooner; perhaps their daughter wouldn't have married this worthless man.‘No, she has to make it happen. Sabrina must divorce him and marry Carter—that will be her life’s purpose,’ Sabrina’s mother thought.She knew that Grandmother Lansdowne would help con

Richard chuckled.That was enough.With a chilling smile, he replied, "Did you really think I refused Grandpa Andrew’s request all because of your silly threats?""Isn’t that why?"Mr. Lansdowne shot back, his voice dripping with contempt.Richard’s cold chuckle echoed in the room."I expected more wisdom from someone your age. Clearly, I overestimated you."Mr. Lansdowne was on the verge of exploding with rage."Are you trying to insult me?"Richard sneered.The answer was obvious."You know what? Sabrina gave me $100 million as compensation."Mischievously, Richard deliberately exaggerated the amount by 1,000 times.With that, Richard pulled out the bank card and waved it in front of them.What the fuck?!$100 million?!As compensation?!As Richard had expected, Mr. and Mrs. Lansdowne nearly choked.Mr. Lansdowne’s face turned a furious shade of red, steam practically erupting from his nostrils.The veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes widened to the point they looked ready to
