“Madam, I only drink with them," said Gloria."Hmm.” Paige nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you."Gloria was left puzzled this time. She looked at Paige and asked, "Thank me for what, Ma'am?"Paige smiled and replied, "Thank you for helping secure many business deals for Chris."Gloria looked at Paige, dumbfounded for a few seconds, then smiled.She finally understood why the usually aloof vice president treated her differently.It turned out that Madam was such a kind and lovable person. Who would not love her?Before Sierra, Shelly, and the others knew about her past, they all looked down on her, sneering at her as a shameless and dirty woman.However, Madam did not, nor did the Vice President.That was why they were the perfect match."Madam, thank you," Gloria said with a smile.Paige was at a loss for words.

Paige had not even given birth yet. Her figure had not lost shape, and her looks had not turned ugly. Yet, he was already getting tired of her?

Chapter 163 Paige’s Heartache

Well…It seemed Paige underestimated him a bit too much.However, since Paige had already opened her mouth, he owed it to himself not to let her bleed too much."I've actually been eyeing a Patek Philippe watch recently. I just haven't had the time to go buy it," said Chris.Paige was stunned.A Patek Philippe watch, which cost just a casual tens of thousands or even millions... If Chris fancied it, it must be no ordinary Patek Philippe. It must be at least a seven-figure one. Seven figures… That's all the money she had, with plans to buy a small house as a down payment.Chris watched Paige in silence.Paige looked at Chris, knowing what she should say. After all, she had initiated giving him a gift. However, at this moment, her mouth seemed sealed shut, unable to open.As long as she said the word, she would truly become a total pauper.She had willingly offered a gift to Chris, though.Now, if she said she would not buy it, would that not be inconsiderate?Besides,

Chapter 164 Blowing Her Money

From the way he threw his chopsticks, it was clear he was angry again. Why, though? What had she done to upset him this time? Weren't they supposed to go shopping together in a while? So, what was it about buying a watch that irritated him?Paige wondered why she could not understand Chris anymore. He was behaving like a moody wife, getting upset over trivial matters, which left her utterly confused. She had no idea why he was mad.Chris's temper had become increasingly unpredictable lately. "Are you not going to eat?" Paige asked cautiously.Chris did not respond. It seemed like he did not even want to talk to her. So, would they still be going to buy a Patek Philippe watch later?Seeing Chris in his current state, Paige lost her appetite. She set down her chopsticks, quickly tidied the food on the table, and left it for the cafeteria staff to clear up. Then, she watched Chris closely.He sat in his office chair facing his computer with a cold, emotionless gaze locked

Chapter 165 She's Not Ordinary

Chris raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. "You’re sure you don't want anything?"Paige hesitated."Go on. Pick something," Chris urged.“It’s really not necessary.”What was the point of buying more stuff now? In case they divorced in the future, she would just have to give it all back to him. She could only have these things temporarily, which was like not having them at all. Losing something you once had was far more painful.Chris' expression turned cold. "I don't want people to say I'm taking advantage of my own wife."Sensing that Chris was angry, she said nothing more and looked at her choices of jewelry.Finally, she chose a jade bracelet worth tens of thousands of dollars.Chris looked at Paige and said, “You are my wife. Every move you make reflects on me. If you wear this, outsiders will guess whether the Jewells are on a decline. Maybe they’ll say that I, Chris Jewell, am a stingy man who isn’t willing to spend money on women."Paige looked at him, bit her lip, and ma

Chapter 166 Bob Becomes Sensible

Chris gazed at the sweet-smiling Paige. He could not help but smirk.‘What a practical little girl.’Usually, she would not treat him this way. However, now, as she needed his help, look at how sweet her smile was. She even affectionately called him "honey”.Typical.Did that mean he was not her husband when he was not helping her with something? Should she not smile at him or call him "honey" then?Tsk.Paige observed Chris, feeling like there was something behind the way he looked at her."Let's go," Chris said.Paige replied, "Okay," obediently following Chris.…Inside the restaurant, Quirk's family had arrived early and was waiting in a private room.Bob had initially planned to come alone. However, Wendy and Sierra insisted on coming.He had a favor to ask of Wendy. He wanted her to give him money to invest in Flower Bay. He was not the type of man who did not let his wife have her own savings, and Wendy was a shrewd woman. Over the years, he estimated that Wendy

Chapter 167 The Bracelet Incident

Paige should have been filial to her mother. When someone had something nice, they should show respect to their mother. Paige, however, turned out to be heartless. She put the beautiful bracelet on herself and completely forgot she had a mother."Paige, that bracelet is really pretty," Wendy said.Paige was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at the bracelet on her wrist. It was the first time her mother had complimented something of hers. Her mother never praised anything about her or the things she wore.Sierra glanced at it, too, saying, "Yes, it’s exceptionally beautiful. It must be expensive."Paige replied, "Um… yeah.""Mom," Sierra turned to Wendy. "Do you like it? I'll buy one for you tomorrow."In reality, she could not bear to buy such an expensive bracelet for Wendy, nor did she own one herself. She was pressuring Paige.Since Paige had one, it would be polite not to give it to her mother.Wendy smiled and nodded, saying, "Sure."Paige was at a loss for w

Chapter 168 Divorce

However, Bob was not going to let that happen. He had always been the one who resisted while others followed along.He was not about to let anyone get the better of him. Bob could see that Chris was still quite fond of Paige and was willing to protect Paige. If Wendy offended Paige, it was the same as offending Chris. They were husband and wife, a single entity. When it came down to it, Bob would not come out well in front of Chris."Let's get a divorce," Bob said coldly.A quick one, too, if possible. There was no more time to waste. If they waited any longer and Wendy offended Chris, it would be too late to divorce or clear his name.Both Wendy and Sierra were stunned, staring at Bob in shock."Dad..." Sierra was terrified. Was Bob actually talking about divorcing Wendy? Although her parents' relationship was not great, they had been through thick and thin for so many years. In her memory, her parents had never mentioned divorce, not even when Wendy could not give bi

Chapter 169 A Little Persuasion

Wendy looked at Bob, her heart growing cold. In this world, men love money, power, and women the most. Bob, though, did not want money but wanted a divorce from her. She understood there was no turning back from this situation."Why?" Wendy asked one more time, still unwilling to accept it. She genuinely did not understand why Bob was so insistent on divorcing her.Just a few days ago, he was asking her for money to invest in the Flower Bay Project. Now, in just a short time, he did not even want the money? As Bob's close companion, she knew he needed money more than ever.However, for the sake of a divorce, he was letting go of the money he needed the most. So, was it really just because Wendy wanted Paige's bracelet today?Bob could not be bothered with explanations. He thought Wendy was a fool. Now, even outsiders knew Paige had married Chris. Today was different from the past, and many wanted to curry favor with Paige. Yet, Wendy, as the person directly involved, could

Chapter 170 Chris' Analysis

Chris nodded faintly without speaking. Paige lay in bed and stared at the ceiling. She tried to sleep but found it impossible. Before that, Chris had exhausted her both physically and mentally. She desperately wanted to sleep. However, sleep eluded her.After a while, Paige could not hold back and asked Chris, "Do you think... my dad might be cheating?"Forgive her for being so ordinary. Her dad wanted a divorce from her mom, and the first thing that came to her mind was infidelity. Why else would her dad want to divorce her mom? Was it just because of the bracelet incident today? She felt the bracelet issue might have just been the tip of the iceberg. There must be other reasons. When her mom asked for the bracelet, it was a subtle request. Perhaps she had misunderstood, and her mom never wanted the bracelet in the first place.Moreover, her mom had done much worse things to her before. Her dad never wanted a divorce, then.Chris asked, "Do you think your dad might be
