She did not care about the Jewells' wealth. However, she hoped the people she cared about could get more and better things.

If, in the end, Niel took control of the Jewell family, what would Chris do?

As for Chris taking control of the Jewells, Niel's fate was not within her consideration. Niel was not someone she had a connection with. Whatever happened to Niel was of no concern to her.

"What's wrong, Madam?" Gloria asked, concerned, as Paige came out of the office looking troubled.

Paige looked at Gloria and said, "Nothing."

Gloria did not believe her.

Just a while ago, they were happily gossiping during the nail session.

Since Madam did not want to talk, Gloria would not press the issue.

When Madam wanted to tell her, she would.

Most importantly, she did not dare to pressure Madam.

Despite Madam's soft nature, Mr. Jewell was not one with a good temper. If Mr. Jewell found out that she pressured Madam, he might tear her apart on the spot.

    Paige was puzzled, and she looked at Chris in confusion. What could he mean?"What if Tina has another daughter?" Chris suggested.“Oh!” Paige exclaimed, surprised by Chris's words. Another daughter for Tina? It was as if Chris was jinxing Tina to have another girl."Or, for instance, what if Tina has a miscarriage during pregnancy?" Chris added casually.Paige listened to Chris's emotionless words, suddenly feeling a bit scared. Nervously, she swallowed, and a terrifying thought crossed her mind. She looked at Chris cautiously and asked, "You... you're not going to use some means to make Tina miscarry, right?"Having read a lot of novels, she found plots involving inducing miscarriages fascinating. Could Chris possibly use some private means to make Tina miscarry?Chris looked at Paige with cold eyes. "What do you think?"Paige nervously swallowed again as she stared at Chris. She was not sure. Chris did not seem like that kind of person. Why else would he say such dr

    Paige instinctively gripped her pajamas tightly, watching Chris as she said, "I... don't feel well today.""Unwell?" Chris raised an eyebrow, pausing his attempt to unbutton Paige's pajamas, asking, "Is it that time of the month?"Paige nodded. "Yeah.""I remember it was supposed to be at the end of the month. It's only mid-month now," Chris remarked.Paige hesitated, feeling a bit dumbfounded. How did Chris, a high-profile figure juggling numerous responsibilities, remember such a small detail about her menstrual cycle?"I... I... it came early this month," Paige stuttered.She thought Chris might not believe her. It seemed too coincidental that just when he was thinking about her getting pregnant, she happened to start her period. Nevertheless, since Chris had asked, she had no choice but to stick to her story."Why did it come early?" Chris inquired.Paige was caught off guard by the question. Was he going to dig deeper into this?"A woman's cycle… is not always on time

    What could he possibly do?Chris looked at Paige with a smirk when he saw her defiant "You can't do anything to me" look. It made him chuckle.Did this girl really think he could not do anything to her? Tsk... Well, it seemed the young girl was naive, lacking life experience from being shielded from the harsh realities of society. Today, he was determined to give her a taste of the world's cruelty.Did she still have the strength to resist?Soon enough, she would find herself powerless.As time passed, Paige had exhausted her strength.However, she did not feel defeated. In fact, she felt victorious. Sure, she ended up in a pitiable state the next day, unable to get out of bed. Though, Chris did not come out unscathed, either.Various scratch marks adorned his chest, back, and legs, some even with traces of blood.In her drowsy state, Paige thought she had perhaps taught Chris a lesson with her blood.If she had not asserted herself, Chris might have continued to treat

    Sierra did not think twice and motioned for Paige to sit on the sofa. After a while, Wendy emerged, looking put together not only in appearance but also in mood. She sat coldly to the side, seemingly ignoring Paige, and engaged in a friendly conversation with Sierra.Paige felt awkward and uneasy. Maybe she should not have come to see her mom. Wendy did not like her, and at the moment, Paige could not summon any affection toward her, either.Observing Paige's discomfort, Sierra secretly reveled in it. She did not want Paige and her mom to get along too well. In Sierra's mind, emotions and love are limited resources. If Wendy shared those with Paige, there was less for Sierra."Mom, Paige missed you. She came to see you," Sierra said with a smile. Regardless of her true feelings, on the surface, she was a caring and considerate sister to her younger sister.Wendy glanced coldly at Paige and sarcastically remarked, "What? Did she come to see how miserable my life is? To see

    Bold enough to buy but afraid to bring it home?Could it be that spending a few million on clothes and bags, and the Jewells wouldn't have a word to say about it?"You are my wife," Chris calmly stated, "Whether it's a few million or tens of millions or even billions, you can buy whatever you want. It’s no big deal."Paige was speechless.Chris looked at Paige, feeling that the girl lacked courage and perspective in some aspects.Could he not have given her enough security?So, she would not even bring her purchases home as she was afraid of being scolded for wasting money and buying recklessly.It seemed he needed to take her out to see the world and make her realize that a few million was nothing."Don't be afraid of being scolded," Chris reassured.Paige was at a loss for words. She was just afraid of being scolded.Chris thought for a moment and said, "In a few days, there's an auction at Hevensford International Hotel. Come with me."Stunned, Paige looked at Chris in su

    Shelly frowned as she observed the dynamic between Chris and Paige. Chris was exceptionally considerate towards Paige. Be it at the office where Paige served as his secretary or accompanying him to auctions, he brought her everywhere. Were they inseparable twins who would perish if separated?To be honest, Shelly was quite surprised Chris and Paige showed up at this auction. Chris had usually little interest in such events and attended only once in ten invitations. So, she initially thought Chris would not come, hence her decision to join Pierre.Recently, Shelly found herself with little to do since leaving the Jewells. The organizers sent an invitation to the Shepard family, and with Pierre extending his invitation, Shelly thought, why not? She adjusted her mood, wearing a faint smile, leaving Pierre behind as she walked toward Chris and Paige.Paige observed Shelly's actions and cast a sympathetic yet mocking glance at Pierre that read, "See, you're just a spare tire.

    Shelly was initially eager to explain. However, Chris' words left her speechless. She looked at Chris with a mix of sadness and entanglement.How could he be so cruel?He knew she loved him.Yet, he deliberately threw her with another man, even commenting about weddings and generous gifts. It felt like he was stabbing her heart.Pierre remained silent, secretly enjoying the misconception about his relationship with Shelly.Taking a deep breath, Shelly turned to Paige and said, "No, Paige, you've got it wrong. Pierre and I just happened to receive invitations and decided to come together."It was a message directed at Chris."Oh..." Paige suddenly realized, apologetically smiling. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. When you and Pierre appeared together, you looked so perfect, like a match made in heaven."Shelly stared at Paige.She knew Paige purposefully forced herself and Pierre into a couple, misleading Chris.Chris glanced at Paige. He used to think of her as naive. Now, he

    Half an hour had passed, and nearly ten items had already been auctioned, with paintings and porcelain dominating the offerings.Paige, not particularly interested in these items, observed as others continuously raised their auction paddles and shouted bids.Chris watched Paige holding her paddle tightly, never lifting it. Assuming Paige was hesitant, he casually remarked, "Feel free to bid if you see something you like."Stunned, Paige paused for a moment and then nodded. "Okay."Something she liked? She felt it might be challenging to find something she genuinely liked in this auction. She was not into antiques, and those items auctioned earlier, with prices soaring into the hundreds of thousands or even millions, seemed extravagant to her. She would not spend that much money on such things.More items were auctioned one after another, and Paige remained disinterested. Yet, she found the entire process intriguing. Watching people raise their paddles, the tension in competiti

I'm coming down.]As soon as the receptionist received Gloria's message, Gloria stepped out of the elevator.Upon reaching the front desk and noticing the bag of strawberry laces opened on the desk, Gloria glared at the receptionist. "You said you hadn't eaten it!"The receptionist looked a little guilty. "I just opened it and haven't had a chance to take one yet."Gloria sneered. "Haven't had a chance? You sound like you regret it."“I don't.""You can't afford this cup of bubble tea. If you did take one, watch out… You might lose your job."The receptionist paused in surprise. "Is it expensive?"Gloria nodded. "It is."“Good thing I didn't take one," the receptionist mumbled. Gloria rolled her eyes.

    Chris chuckled. "Really?"Paige's face turned slightly red. She felt embarrassed saying that, and it felt like Chris did not believe her. However, she bit the bullet and nodded. "Yeah, really."Chris smiled and said, "Well then, when you miss me next time, don't just think about it because thinking won't do you any good. When you miss me or care about me, just send me a message or call to check in. After all, I can’t read minds. Also, if you want to hug me, just hug me. Don't hold Hunter in your arms and say you want to hug me. That's just hypocritical."Paige faltered. Hug him when she wanted to hug him? Thanks, but she did not want to hug him. She could easily pick up Hunter, but could she lift Chris so easily? She was not that strong, to begin with."Remember. From now on, when you think of me, send me a message. Ask me if I've eaten, what I've eaten, if I'm tired from work, what I'm doing, or tell me what you're thinking about. Don't keep it all to yourself," Chris said wit

    What did he take her for?Besides, what could a woman do with photos? She was not one of those perverted men who did some creepy stuff with women’s photos."Nothing worth admiring?" Chris raised an eyebrow.Paige nodded. "Yeah, they’re nothing worth admiring."Indeed, there was nothing worth admiring about the photos."Ha!” Chris snickered.Paige remained silent and thought, ‘Here comes the snickering again.’"You don’t mean what you say," Chris remarked.Paige frowned. "What did I say that implies otherwise? You're a strange one. You're right here in front of me. Why would I need to admire the photos?"Chris grinned. "So you don't want to admire the photos, but you want to admire me, a living person."Paige blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed. She did not mean that, but what she just said seemed to imply exactly that."How would you want to admire me?" Chris teased.Admire was such an intriguing word.Paige blushed harder. "How else can I admire you? Just by looking,

    Before Hunter was born, Chris was the absolute darling of the family. His grandfather favored him, and his parents loved him dearly.However, Hunter's arrival had changed everything. The elders in the family revolved around Hunter all day long. Zander’s first question upon waking up each morning was about Hunter, followed by Ann cuddling Hunter, calling him her darling, and so on.It seemed like everyone had forgotten about Chris.How could Chris, who had always been so cherished, accept that?Chris's expression stiffened as if his thoughts had been unexpectedly revealed, his eyes flickering momentarily.Paige chuckled and said, "Are you seriously competing with a child for attention? Besides, you've been pampered by the family for so many years. Hunter has only been pampered for a few days."Chris retorted coldly, "I'm not competing with him."Paige did not buy it for a second. She smiled and said, "Sure, you're not competing with him. You're just afraid we'll spoil Hunter."A

    Before, Paige could not understand people showing off their babies and wondered why they would go crazy posting their kids on social media. Now, she got it. She found her kid to be the cutest in the world and could not help but snap his photos and post them on her social media platforms to share him with others, hoping for compliments and praise for her little one.However, she also understood that posting too much could annoy people. Hence, she restrained herself to only posting once a day and made sure to fit in a couple of photos!That was her absolute limit!She felt uneasy if she did not post her baby for a day. Then, when she saw her friends' comments praising her little one, she felt happy and proud, like they were getting closer as friends.Indeed, becoming a mom had changed her mindset.Chris, who was watching Paige show off their baby on social media, was even more dissatisfied! They had been married for a long time and had a child together, yet his appearances o

    After what felt like ages, Ava lay on the hotel's large bed, staring blankly at the ceiling as the sound of rushing water filled her ears. Niel was in the shower. After releasing his pent-up emotions, he headed straight for the shower. Meanwhile, she lay there, her body aching. She did not want to move a muscle because every movement brought pain.Niel was thrilled with the new experience, but Ava was suffering. She was starting to regret getting involved with Niel. He was going overboard with satisfying his physical needs, and she feared that if things continued like that, Niel might end up causing her harm or maybe even unintentionally ending her life. She had heard of such things happening before, so now, she was caught between a rock and a hard place.On one hand, she did not want to let go of Niel and give up on all the sacrifices and efforts she had put in when she was on the brink of marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a billionaire's wife.

    Pierre fell silent, pondering Shelly's words carefully. Upon reflection, he found Shelly's proposal to be pretty reasonable and entirely feasible. If he were to wait until Shelly entered prison to serve her sentence, he could break up with her afterward. Once his relationship with Shelly ended, his parents would not be as angry. Even if there were some constraints preventing them from openly helping him, they could still assist him discreetly. After all, he was their son, who shared the same blood with them. His parents could not possibly abandon him entirely and let him fend for himself. By lowering himself in front of his parents, he believed they would not neglect him. By then, acquiring the five million dollars would not be too difficult.Shelly watched Pierre, not pressing him to respond. She believed Pierre knew what choice to make. Five million might seem like an astronomical figure, but for the second son of the Alfonsos, it was not much.After much deliberation

    She looked at the evil smile on Chris' face, and it all came back to her.Did Chris Intentionally take Hunter to the guest room to hand him over to the nanny so that it would make it easier for him to do what he wanted? What a scumbag! However, since it was something she had personally agreed to, she would not back out.Paige did not resist Chris, and a long time later, she collapsed on the bed. She felt like she should have taken care of Hunter and not fallen for Chris' tricks.Taking care of a child was not as exhausting!She was too tired to even move her fingers.The next day, Paige slept until late morning and then got up to go down for breakfast.When Ann saw Paige, she asked with concern, "Paige, didn't you sleep well last night?"Paige looked really worn out."Didn't Hunter sleep with the nanny last night?" Ann asked curiously.Paige blushed with embarrassment and said, "Last night… I wasn't used to sleeping without Hunter, so I didn't get a good sleep."Ann smile

    Even if she offered her sincerity, Chris would not appreciate it, so what else could she offer? "Is money the only thing you have? Do you have nothing else besides money?" Chris said.He thought she was truly clueless. Even after being married for so long and having a child together, did she not know what he wanted?However, Paige was indeed puzzled. Besides money, what else did she have? What else could she have?Chris looked her up and down, speechless. Paige might not have understood what he meant before, but she did now. He meant that although she did not have money, she still had a young body.It seemed all Chris lusted was her body."I’m still recovering," Paige said with a slight blush on her face. She knew Chris had been patient for a long time. They barely had any intimacy during the last trimester of her pregnancy, but there was nothing she could do. She did not want to refuse him, but her body would not allow it.Chris glanced at Paige and said, "We can try other
