Chapter 221

Ariana fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "Then, let's get Grandpa to decide who's right.""You're trying to use Grandpa against me again?" Spencer lowered his eyes to look at her. "From getting married to having kids, to now discussing the benefits after divorce, you always bring up Grandpa. Is that all you can do?"Ariana didn't respond.Spencer continued, "Back then, you used all means to marry me because the Ulriches' wealth and status could give you the kind of luxury and position others couldn't. Now you've found someone else and want to leave just like that? Ariana, you surely know how to paint a rosy picture of things.""If that's how you want to see it, it's up to you."Spencer was livid upon hearing her response. "I don't want to think this way, but you force me to do it!""What have I done? Did I cheat on you or have been fooling around with guys outside?""Don't keep harping on that," Spencer said. "I was just a little nicer to Joanne. There was no emotiona

"Ariana, don't make me think you're worthless," Spencer hissed into her ear like a devil. "You're acting like a dead fish. No man will like that." With that, he got up from the bed, got dressed, and stormed out of the bedroom.The door slammed shut behind him with a loud bang.Ariana pulled the blanket over herself, wrapping herself tightly in it. Her eyes were swollen, but she had no tears left to shed.Spencer had disappointed her countless times. Every time, he strengthened her resolve to get a divorce. But Spencer's attitude made her hesitate.Since she got married to him, her family had benefited from numerous projects, amounting to billions of dollars. She couldn't afford to compensate for that.She had initially thought that Spencer's pride and dignity would be hurt if she admitted to liking someone else, prompting him to agree to a divorce. She hadn't expected him to be completely indifferent.He didn't care because he didn't love her.Ariana had thought getting a divo

Seeing Spencer's lack of enthusiasm, the others quickly took their leave.Soon, only Spencer and Joanne remained in the room.Before Joanne could even speak, her eyes were already red. Her tears threatened to spill as she looked at Spencer.Seeing her tearful face, Spencer couldn't help softening up. He asked, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"Joanne knew what her strengths were and how to use them to her advantage in front of Spencer. She shook her head and bit her lower lip. "No. I just missed you so much because I haven't seen you in days."It dawned on Spencer that he had spent most of the New Year holidays with Ariana. Strangely, he found those days had passed quickly and were somewhat enjoyable. It was something he had never felt before.Leaning back in his chair, Spencer rubbed his temples.He thought he had likely just been too exhausted during the past few days, which was why he felt so relaxed. Otherwise, he wouldn't find spending time with Ariana enjoyable.Not

It was the middle of the night, and Ariana's heart nearly leaped out of her chest. With a click, she turned on the light. Her eyes adjusted to the brightness, and she was surprised. "You're back?"The person sitting on the couch was Spencer. Spencer had his arm draped over his eyes and didn't say a word. Ariana stepped closer and caught a whiff of alcohol and cigarettes emanating from him. It was revolting. She stopped where she was. "Are you drunk?"Spencer didn't move or respond. Ariana wanted to turn around and walk away. After all, whether Spencer drank himself to death was none of her concern. But after standing there for a few seconds, she walked over to him and pulled his arm away to feel his forehead. He wasn't having a fever.Before she could pull her hand back, Spencer grabbed her wrist and yanked her into his arms. Ariana was startled but didn't dare to scream in the middle of the night. She stifled the sound in her throat.Spencer held her tightly and made h

When Spencer woke up in the morning, he felt his head pounding.Last night, after seeing Joanne off, he had gone drinking alone. He had no idea how much he drank or how he managed to get home.A sense of alarm shot through him. But when he opened his eyes and saw Ariana in his arms, he felt a sudden wave of relief.Ariana was nestled softly against him, her sleeping face serene.Unable to resist, Spencer placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. His gaze traveled downward, but then he froze in shock.Ariana's exposed skin was covered with large, bluish-purple bruises. They weren't hickeys. Instead, they looked more like someone had gripped her hard.He wondered who did that to her.A surge of anger surged within him. But in the next instant, a realization hit him. Those bruises were likely his doing.The events of the previous night were hazy, but he vaguely remembered being intimate with Ariana. He also seemed to recall her struggling. He wondered if he was the one who caused thes

Enrique was clearly displeased. "If you're concerned about Ari, why don't you call her yourself?"Spencer paused before replying, "I didn't want to disturb her sleep."Enrique then continued, "She didn't eat much for lunch, and she doesn't seem to be in good spirits. If you're not too busy, come back early and spend some time with her.""I... I can't go back," Spencer said. "I have some matters to handle.""What could be more important than Ari?" Enrique snapped. "Get home right away!""I really can't," Spencer insisted. "I had someone buy her some gifts. Could you please give them to her, Grandpa?"He quickly ended the call after that. He didn't want to admit it, but he was afraid to face Ariana.…After having lunch, Ariana went back to sleep. When she woke up, she lay in bed scrolling through her phone, not wanting to move.Enrique sent a maid to call her downstairs.When she came down, she saw several brightly colored gift boxes in the living room. Judging by the logos, t

Spencer waited until nightfall but still didn't hear from Ariana.Frustrated, he called Enrique again, confirming that she had indeed received the gifts. Enrique even mentioned she seemed quite happy and that the helpers had taken the gifts up to her room.Alone in his office, Spencer fumed.She accepted the gifts but wouldn't acknowledge him. He wondered if he didn't send her enough.Just then, his phone buzzed, and he immediately looked down, hoping it was a message from Ariana.Disappointment washed over him as he saw it was just a promotional message about his favorite watch brand.He thought maybe the previous gifts weren't valuable enough. Perhaps he should buy a watch for Ariana. As he rose to leave his office, his phone rang. It was Connor.Spencer asked, "Besides buying gifts, how do you win a woman over?"Connor chuckled. "Are you trying to win over Jojo?"Spencer initially didn't want to answer his question. But for some reason, he didn't want Connor to misunderst

Spencer hesitated for just a couple of seconds before striding forward to chase after the girl.She had waist-length hair and was talking on her phone as she walked.They were standing quite a distance away from each other. He kept his eyes fixed on her. But before he could catch up, she slipped into a side door.Spencer hurried over and realized it was the door to the fire escape stairs. He rushed in, only to find the stairwell empty. Refusing to give up, he dashed down to the next floor, but there was no sign of her.Frustrated, he pulled out his phone and called Connor."I need to see the mall's surveillance footage. Get someone to arrange it."Connor asked, "What's wrong? Did you lose something?"Spencer closed his eyes briefly before opening them again. "Have you been in touch with her recently?""Who are you…" Connor started, then seemed to catch on. "Oh, you mean her? We talked a bit last time when she had a fever, but nothing after that."Spencer gripped his phone tigh

Connor shook his head. "I'm just telling the truth. Honest words are hard to hear, but if you don't want to listen, then forget it."Spencer's voice was cold. "I won't be divorcing Ariana anytime soon, so don't bring it up again."Connor was confused. "This marriage only benefits the Lubove family's business, and you only went through with it because of your grandpa. Now, after all these years, you can convince him. Why don't you just get done with it? Spencer, don't tell me you're actually falling for Ariana?"Spencer was taken aback. He quickly retorted, "That's impossible!"Connor smirked. "Yeah. I didn't think so, either. After all, your true love is overseas. I get it. She can't come back, and you're a man. You have needs, right?"Spencer's gaze turned colder, but he didn't know how to respond.What Connor said was true. He had been thinking along those lines."Alright," Connor said. "Ariana's just good for that. You don't need to get all worked up over her. She's not worth

Chapter 230

Spencer had no idea that the person plotting against him was his best friend. On his way home, he thought about Ariana's face and the bruises that had covered her body. He wondered what he should say when he saw her. He thought he should apologize but doubted he could swallow his pride enough to do that.Besides, he had already sent her gifts. Couldn't she at least offer him an olive branch in return?When he got home, Enrique had already gone to bed.The house was quiet. Spencer slowly climbed the stairs and hesitated when he reached the bedroom door. He raised his hand to open it, but before he could do so, the door opened from the inside.He quickly stepped back and tried to calm himself, only to see one of the maids come out."Mr. Ulrich, you're back," she greeted him respectfully."What are you doing here?" he asked."Mrs. Ulrich asked me to tidy up the room before she left.""Where's Ariana? She's not here?""Mrs. Ulrich went out."Spencer abruptly pushed open the bed
