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.

The dress eventually sold for a sky-high price of two million dollars.After leaving the auction venue, Ariana headed to the restroom, waiting for Sienna to complete her paperwork.As soon as she stepped out of the cubicle, she spotted Joanne touching up her makeup outside."Ari." Noticing her, Joanne flashed her a sweet smile. "You're here, too. I'm sure you know Spence bought Ms. Jones' design as a gift for me, right?"Ariana replied faintly, "Congratulations.""Oh, it's nothing. I told him I didn't want it, but he insisted on buying it for me."Thinking of something, Ariana chuckled and asked, "Did Spence only buy emerald for you before this? Didn't you ask him for anything else?"Of course, Joanne had requested gifts from Spencer. But he didn't pay her any attention.She still didn't understand why Ariana kept bringing this up, but she sensed something was amiss.She would never allow herself to appear weak in front of Ariana. "Of course, he bought me other things, too. Sp

When Sienna came out, Spencer and Joanne had already left.She saw Ariana and immediately asked, "Ari, why did you increase the bid?"During the procedures, Sienna didn't know who the buyer was, nor did she recognize the voice of the bidder, which turned out to be Spencer's.Ariana smiled. "Because I like your dress, of course. I feel it's worth that price," she answered truthfully. She genuinely liked the dress and didn't want to see Joanne wearing it.But in the end, Spencer outbid everyone and secured the dress.Their overseas trip came to a close.Sienna didn't know about Ariana's terrifying experience outside the bar.

Ariana then said, "Mr. Kirkland, I'm sure you haven't experienced the anguish of being pressured by your family into an arranged marriage.""Pressured? Anguish?" Gerald was greatly shocked. "If the person I'm supposed to marry is a goddess like you, I wouldn't feel anguish at all. It would be a huge stroke of luck. I'd wake up laughing in my dreams!"This time, Ariana genuinely laughed at his joke.Just then, Spencer entered and saw Ariana laughing cheerfully at Gerald.His last gathering here ended abruptly due to Ariana's accident.Since his work was also coming to a close, his friends invited him here once again to meet up.He hadn't expected to run into Ariana again.This time, she wasn't in any danger. But seeing her sitting across from another man with a charming and radiant smile, he felt even more furious.Spencer walked directly past Joanne and his friends and strode toward Ariana.Joanne wanted to follow, but Connor held her back and shook his head at her.Joanne im
