Sienna was worried it might be hard for Ariana to move around because of her injured ankle. Before leaving the bar, she notified a waiter to assist Ariana if she ever needed help. Not long after that, more and more people showed up at the bar. Ariana was in casual clothes, and she didn't put on any makeup. Still, it was impossible not to notice her attractive features. Moreover, she was a foreigner. Men went up to her, one after another, to hit on her. Before the performance even started, Ariana had already gotten worn out by those men. Eventually, she maneuvered her wheelchair and exited the bar to get some fresh air while waiting for Sienna.Yet, little did Ariana know that Spencer and Joanne were at that bar as well. However, they were inside a private room, along with some of Spencer's friends. His friends heard that Spencer was around and asked him out for a casual gathering. Most of Spencer's friends were staying in that country for work. Only one of them happe
Upon seeing Spencer, Connor hung up the phone and said, "Did someone say something to Jojo?"Spencer glanced into the distance and casually asked, "Why do you ask?""She just asked me if you have any close female friends."Spencer continued asking, "And what did you say?""Of course I said no," Connor responded. "I know what to say and what not to say."Spencer nodded. "Alright. I have something to take care of. Go back and keep her company.""Where are you going?"Spencer simply walked away briskly without turning back.Connor shook his head. "Where is he rushing to?"Remembering that Joanne was still inside, he didn't dwell on it and went back in.Meanwhile, Spencer roamed around the bar. He overheard many men discussing the mysterious foreign beauty.They described her as strikingly beautiful but hard to approach.Spencer quickened his pace and circled the bar but couldn't find Ariana.He wondered if they were talking about someone else.He paused for a few seconds and contemplated
At first, they didn't take Spencer seriously at all.Then, they got beaten up one after another.Seeing this, the remaining men immediately surrounded him, leaving behind the one pushing Ariana's wheelchair."You'd better mind your own business," the leader of the gang threatened. "Or else, you'll pay for it!""Let her go!" Spencer's eyes were cold, but a hint of worry flashed within them.The leader signaled to the man pushing the wheelchair, who immediately began to run off with Ariana.Of course, Spencer wouldn't let them escape. He tried to chase after them but was quickly interrupted by the others."Stop!" Ariana's voice trembled with fear. She was worried they would harm Spencer or, worse, pull out a gun.After all, she had often seen news reports of such incidents back home.As the man pushed her further away, Ariana made a desperate decision. Gritting her teeth and ignoring the pain in her injured leg, she threw herself out of the wheelchair. The person was shocked t
Ariana spoke up, "I'm waiting for Sisi."Spencer's face darkened with anger. "Where did she go? Did she leave you here alone?"Ariana knew Spencer was trying to vent his frustration at Sienna.But it wasn't Sienna's fault that this happened.Noticing her silence, Spencer turned the wheelchair around forcefully. "Let's go back!"To be honest, Ariana was still shaken up.Now that she was abroad, she didn't feel as secure as being in her own country.Not to mention that she just had a terrifying encounter.Her face was pale. Spencer noticed it but didn't say anything more.Ariana's fingers trembled as she sent a message to Sienna.Spencer continued pushing her wheelchair. Joanne initially kept a neutral expression. After a moment, she linked her arm with Spencer's and asked, "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"Spencer shook his head. "I'm fine. Don't worry."Connor was following them.Although he hadn't witnessed what happened, he could figure things out.Ariana's looks
Connor stood aside and chuckled dubiously.Spencer said nothing. He carefully lifted Ariana out of the car and placed her in the wheelchair.Just as he was about to push her, Joanne stepped forward. "Let me do it."Pushing the wheelchair, she said to Spencer, "I'll take Ari up. You can wait for me in the lobby, okay?"Too tired to mind the situation, Ariana remained silent.Joanne pushed her into the elevator.Once inside, Joanne wasted no time. "Ari, I hope you don't get any wrong ideas. Spence is just a righteous person. Him helping you doesn't mean he has feelings for you."Ariana scoffed. "You've really embraced the role of a mistress pridefully, haven't you?"Joanne's face flushed with anger, but she took a deep breath. "I will marry Spence. I'll wait for him."Ariana closed her eyes.Joanne continued, "He bought me a set of emerald jewelry at the auction the other day. Do you know how much it cost?"Ariana opened her eyes and saw the smugness in Joanne's gaze.She sai
Ariana had already made up her mind. If those people at the auction failed to recognize the true value of Sienna's dress, she would secretly bid on it herself.After all, Spencer had said that she could spend his money.If he could splurge on expensive emerald jewelry for a mistress, then it surely wasn't too much for her to buy a dress.She decided to bid as high as possible to secure Sienna's dress.Besides, she genuinely liked the dress.If not for her ankle injury, Sienna had even considered having her model it on stage.While Sienna was busy making final adjustments to the dress, Ariana decided to sneak off to the bathroom to tend to her wounds.Originally, they weren't staying together. But since Spencer hadn't returned, Sienna had Ariana stay over, so she could take care of her.Just as Ariana was about to move, there was a knock at the door.She went to open it and found Spencer standing there.Sienna asked, "Who is it?""It's Spencer," Ariana replied. "I'll step out
Spencer rescued her and even applied medicine for her.He lifted her leg to examine the plaster on her ankle. "I told you. Nothing happens 'naturally.' So, Mrs. Ulrich, have you thought about how you're going to repay me?""What?" Ariana was puzzled. "Repay you for what?""They say a life-saving debt can't be repaid… How does it go again?"Ariana responded, "A life-saving debt can't be repaid, but I'll be at your beck and call in the next life, okay?"Spencer tapped her lightly. "Ariana, are you doing this on purpose?"Ariana kicked her leg playfully. "You're such a pervert!"So, that was why Spencer was being so nice to her.He had ulterior motives all along."Desire is natural," Spencer said, holding her kicking foot and kissing her delicate sole. "Mrs. Ulrich, it's time for you to fulfill your duties."Ariana grew solemn. "Where have you been sleeping these past few nights?""Ariana," Spencer said, kissing her ankle and trailing upward. "You sound jealous.""I told you.
