The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

Lindsey suddenly wanted to laugh a little, Aurora was so impatient to get herself slapped to death.

It was a shame that she had to use all those tricks.

Edward hadn’t expected things to get so out of hand either, and his heart throbbed as he watched her face go ashen.

The reporters would definitely not be able to stay at the nearby flat.

The company couldn’t go either. The only way to protect her from the media at this time was to keep her safe.

After a mindless drive around the city, Edward made up his mind and took her back to his villa in the elegant residence of Mei Yuan.

“Do I look like a joke?” The car pulled into the garage, but Lindsey had no intention of getting out. “In just one night, I’ve become the abandoned wife and mistress that everyone shouts at.”

“Lindsey, it’s not your fault.” Edward looked at her helpless face with heartache and said soothingly, “I’d rather you were really bad so that no one could hurt you.”

“Thank you Edward, I want to be quiet.” Lindsey tugged at the corners of her lips bitterly and slowly closed her eyes.

Edward was worried that she wouldn’t be able to think straight and sat still. “There are no outsiders here, and the cottages around here are empty, and there won’t be any neighbours to bother you.”

Lindsey opened her eyes and hesitantly pushed open the car door to go down.

The villa was spacious, exquisitely decorated in a modern style, with a courtyard lined with flowers and trees. It was clear that Edward was indeed a man who enjoyed himself and had a high expectation of quality, of life.

Lindsey entered and sat down on the sofa, lost in thought, staring out of the window at the flowers and trees.

Edward sat with her for a while, but when he received a call from his assistant, he had to leave her alone, go to the garage, get the car and leave for the office.

After he had left, Lindsey lazed on the sofa for a long time before picking up the landline on the coffee table and calling Fiona.

Fiona’s anxious voice came through as soon as the call was answered. “How are you, if you can’t make it, come back to L city, I’ll talk to the director and let you continue to go back to the General Military Hospital.”

“Sister-in-law I’m fine.” Lindsey barely managed to pull out a smile. “Tell Warren I’m fine, tell him not to worry.”

“Bruce what the hell does he mean!” Fiona came to her temper too. “It’s fun to keep playing games with people like this.”

“Okay, don’t get angry. Getting angry while breastfeeding can affect your milk production, I’m really fine.” Lindsey said, unable to hold back her own tears. “It’s not his fault, we were careless and gullible.”

Fiona was silent for a while and stopped talking about it, asking instead if she wanted to go back to L city for a break.

Lindsey thought about it and declined. Now that her parents were living in L city, it was obvious that it would be redundant for her to go back.

After talking for a while, Lindsey made the excuse that she had work to do and ended the conversation with her, turning to call Tankard.

Tankard was leading the search for the suspect in the mountains and didn’t know what was on the news, but his instincts were always sharp and after a few words he asked, “Did Bruce bully you again?”

“No, I’m the one who doesn’t want him.” Lindsey tried to sound, as best she could, relaxed. “He’s going back to the army soon and I don’t want to be together much.”

“Just think about it yourself.” Tankard didn’t quite believe her words. “Go back to Cloud Mountain if it’s hard, I’ll find you connections and a steady job to do.”

“No, I’m fine.” Lindsey paused and whispered, “Take care of yourself, big brother, I’m hanging up.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Tankard didn’t say anything, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Lindsey hung up the phone, thought about calling Maximus again, and when she finished, she collapsed into the sofa as if all her strength had been drained from her.

Telling the lie twice was enough to convince even herself that she was the one who didn’t want Bruce, not that they were being set up.

Drifting off to sleep, and not knowing how long she had been asleep, Edward’s soft, low voice came faintly to her ears. “Lindsey, you wake up, get up and eat something.”

Dazedly opening her eyes, she looked at Edward, who was full of tension, and asked unconsciously, “What time is it?”

“It’s dark, what time did you say it was.” Edward helped her up distressingly and handed over the new phone on the coffee table by hand. “Give him a call if you miss him.”

“No need.” Lindsey didn’t even glance at the phone, sitting back with her cuddle pillow. “You’re so well-informed, you should already know, what’s going on.”

Edward looked her steadily in the eye and nodded his head.

“Look, am I losing it badly.” Lindsey laughed again, laughing as a tear slid across her face and onto the back of her hand. “I don’t even know how I lost.”

“Lindsey, do you believe me.” Edward looked at Lindsey, who was in tears, and his handsome face showed a rare serious expression. “Dare you to come with me.”

“Go?” Lindsey lifted her tear-stained eyes and looked at him in confusion. “Go where, Wind Entertainment you don’t care.”

“I just want to take you somewhere where no one knows you and have a nice break.” Edward spoke with difficulty, “I know it’s a crazy idea, but I can’t bear to see you upset.”

“No.” Lindsey waved her hand feebly, the tears Selena’s eyes, like the moon hidden in stray clouds, gradually dimming.

Edward sighed inaudibly and got up to inform the kitchen to bring out dinner.

Grant Residence.

Dr Hunter came out of the treatment room and shook his head gently at the couple, Charlotte. Bruce was still unconscious, his vitals normal, the anaesthetic in his blood no longer detectable.

“Is it going to be okay?” Charlotte paced in annoyance, her eyebrows knitted tightly. “How long will this last.”

“It’s unclear.” Dr. Hunter mused for a moment and added, “Bruce overdosed on herbs earlier, when he was in a coma much like today. Then Lindsey came over and gave him a long injection and he recovered.”

“I’ll go and fetch Lindsey back now.” Charlotte said and was about to walk out the door when her arm was grabbed by Mack.

The atmosphere froze.

After a long time, Charlotte sat down in annoyance and gestured for Dr Hunter to go back to rest.

“Bruce didn’t want to wake up himself, he didn’t have the face to see Lindsey,” Mack said, patting her hand soothingly, his voice no longer cold. “This is a very unkind and underhanded move on The Palvin family’s part.”

“Kaley got in on it, and these two are like Siamese twins whenever they’re together, it’s hard to separate them.” Charlotte rubbed her brow and picked up her phone to call Lindsey.

It was a tactic Aurora might have thought of, but she definitely didn’t have the guts to do it on Old Mr. Palvin’s birthday.

After all, it was a problem at home that made it possible for outsiders to take advantage of it!

Couldn’t get through? After calling several times, I had to call Hector.

It was a relief to find out that Lindsey was with Edward at the moment. “Mack, arrange for two men, Bruce will go straight back to the barracks if he wakes up, I want you to make sure he’s safe.”

“He’s my brother too.” Mack reached out and gently took her into his arms. “I won’t let anything happen to him.”

Charlotte’s eyes flushed and she buried her head in his arms, sniffling.

A few moments later, the bouncer at the door reported that the daughter of The Palvin family was here to see her.

Charlotte raised an eyebrow and gave the order coldly. “She must not set foot in the old house without Bruce’s permission, there is only one young lady in this house!”

Cary and Carl both looked away as the words fell from their lips.

Even if Bruce had no choice but to let Aurora in, there was only one young lady in The Grant family, and that was Lindsey!

Outside the Grant Residence.

Aurora, unaware that Bruce had not yet woken up, was stopped by her bodyguard and her face suddenly rose to a thin expression of anger.

By midday, the marriage had been sealed. She was now Bruce’s real fiancée, and to be stopped by the bouncers at the door was a laughing stock!

Aurora paced back and forth a few times, got annoyed and went back to the car, telling the driver to drive. So what if it was a shameful act! She had won, and she had won without a shadow of a doubt.

It was a joke for a mudblood from the ravine to compete with her.

Arriving at the café where she had arranged to meet Selena, Aurora got out of the car and pushed her way through the door in a dignified manner.

She knew the reporters were following her all the way and she knew what the news would say tomorrow, and that’s what she wanted!

Upstairs, Selena has ordered two coffees and is looking anxiously to her left and right.

Aurora pulled out a chair and sat down, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Why are you panicking like you’ve lost your mind?”

“I have a really bad feeling about this.” Selena pursed her lips, her tone serious. “You might have lifted a stone.”

She had thought at the time that Aurora would at most use the birthday as an opportunity to confess her desire to marry Bruce, or to provoke him into a relationship with Lindsey, but she had never expected her to be so bold.

The Grant family would never have been able to resent the fact that she was the daughter of a family that wouldn’t even bother to use such a tactic.

“Don’t be alarmist, the head of the twin The Harris families have agreed to the marriage at noon and I am now the young lady of The Grant family in all but name.” Aurora was unconcerned by her concerns. “Do you think it’s possible that The Grant family would choose to turn on The Palvin family over a little nurse.”

Selena sighed and simply stopped trying to persuade.

Yesterday, she had gone to meet her in-laws’ grandfather at Nine Lakes and had heard him compliment Lindsey on her insight and tell the young man who was playing chess with him that he should be bold and careful and not be in a hurry.

It had been a long time since my in-laws had made new friends, especially young ones.

Curious, she looked up the other man’s details and realised that he was an orthopaedic surgeon at the Third Hospital and the subject of the photos taken by the private detective of Lindsey’s cheating in the first few days.

And who he really was, was Lindsey’s senior brother!

If guesses are correct, a big part of Bruce’s recovery is because of Lindsey.

Otherwise, Old Mr. Grant would not have personally acknowledged Lindsey’s identity in front of The Grant family.

The Grant family will not move for the time being because of Old Mr. Palvin’s face, but she believes that the Grant family will never swallow this anger.

Old Mr. Grant, in particular, is even closer to Lindsey than he is to his grandson, and the door to Nine Lakes is always open for her.

The level of importance was evident.

“Put your heart back in it.” Aurora lifted her coffee and took a sip, an ambitious smile on her face. “You really don’t have to worry, believe me, since The Grant family agreed to the engagement, it means that this is over and I won.”
