The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

Chapter 177: The sweet and the bitter know their own



After breakfast, Edward went back to Wind Entertainment to take care of business, while Lindsey finished reading the paperwork for the foundation, making sure there were no problems, and then thought about calling Larissa and asking her to go shopping.

Larissa is now the number one actress in Wind Entertainment, and has won a number of prestigious awards at home and abroad.

But when Lindsey asked her to join her, she said yes without saying a word, and she put off all her activities for the day.

When she arrived at the door of Paris Spring, she saw Lindsey with her hair cut short, wearing a simple white shirt, matching jeans and a pair of canvas shoes.

When she opened the door and got out of the car, Larissa hugged her tightly, her tears falling uncontrollably. “I missed you so much, I thought you’d never come back for the rest of your life.”

“Ouch, stop crying, your makeup will come off if you keep crying.” Lindsey patted her back in amusement. “I couldn’t help it last year, I got a short notice, I didn’t mean to.”

Larissa cried and laughed, fumbling for tissues to wipe her tears, and couldn’t help but give her another hug.

The two of them were talking when a slightly indignant voice suddenly came to their ears. “Miss Lindsey, it’s been a long time!”

Lindsey turned around, her bright, starry eyes meeting Aurora’s aggressive gaze, and smiled abruptly. “And you are, please?”

B City was so big, she had come back after three years, and she hadn’t expected to meet someone she didn’t like, still at the first opportunity.

Last time it was Phoebe, this time it was Aurora. do these so called grand dames like to shop around when they have nothing better to do …

Aurora was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth, but had a smug smile on her face and a contemptuous tone. “Why pretend you don’t know each other. By the way, here’s some news I forgot to tell you, I am now the titular Mrs. Grant.”

“Is that so.” Lindsey looked her over with a dimpled smile and pretended to be enlightened. “Well, congratulations, but the young lady of The Grant family doesn’t go out without a bodyguard, so you’re a far cry from me.”

As she finished her sentence, Lindsey waved gracefully as she spotted a journalist taking pictures around her, and looked blandly at an irritated Aurora. “Not convinced? Unfortunately, you have to put up with it even if you don’t, leave it to your own devices and suffer through as much as you can, eh.”

Jesse had been right when he said that Aurora’s life would be a miserable one once he left.

She looked like she was 25 years old, younger than herself, but her face was marked by changes.

Aurora’s even became twisted, not unexpectedly, and Lindsey raised an eyebrow, taking Larissa’s hand slowly and deliberately, and twisting her head into Paris Spring.

It had never been the vaunted title of young lady she cared about, she only cared about Bruce.

Aurora was furious, she hadn’t expected Lindsey to be back, and instead of the look of despondency on her face, she was laughing at herself.

She thought that by forcing Bruce to marry her, she would be able to make him fall in love with her. But three years later, she has nothing to show for it but the title of young lady of The Grant family.

And the Palvin family has not been able to climb the ladder of The Grant family as she had hoped.

She didn’t believe Selena when she said she might have gotten her own foot in the door, but in fact it was more than a foot in the door, it almost destroyed The Palvin family.

The Grant family’s attitude is clear, and there is no room for the Palvin family in Old Mr. Grant’s old minions.

To add insult to injury, Kaley was expelled from B-town, her husband stepped down and her son was sentenced to prison!

All this just because Lindsey was wronged!

How can Aurora not be shocked that she now holds on to the title of Mrs. Grant and that Bruce has not seen her for the past three years, and even when he takes a holiday, he goes straight to Nine Lakes.

She thought she had won over Lindsey, but in reality she had lost everything …

Even when she lived in the old mansion, she was still addressed by the servants up and down the stairs as Miss Aurora, not young lady.

What was so good about Lindsey that she could make Bruce fall in love with her so much?

When she thought that Bruce would be even colder if he knew Lindsey was back, Aurora pulled her mind back and took her phone out of her bag to call Selena.

These reporters were following Larissa, and when they found out that the person Larissa was seeing today was Lindsey, things would definitely get out of hand.

When the call was answered, she looked around alertly and lowered her voice, “Do something and squash all the news about Larissa today, and about me.”

On the other end, Selena answered unsurely and asked, “What’s going on who’s pissing you off.”

“Lindsey. come back.” Aurora finished, noticing a reporter following her, and immediately turned around and went into Paris Spring. “Lindsey.”

“Ah …” Selena exclaimed, suddenly a little agitated. “Are you sure it’s her.”

“Of course, she’s with the crossdresser now.” Aurora finished and turned to walk out again. “I’m going to meet you now.”

“Oh … you come on, I’ll be up soon too.” Selena hung up the phone and scrambled to get out of bed.

On the first floor of Paris Spring, Lindsey browsed through a few random shops, finding nothing she wanted to buy, so she dragged Selena downstairs and avoided the press to her apartment.

The flat was close to Wind Entertainment’s headquarters, but the security and landscaping in the area were so good that no journalist could get in.

When she went upstairs and entered, Lindsey fell straight into the sofa, tired and complaining pitifully. “My legs are killing me, you’re not making headlines with a sneeze now are you.”

“It’s not that much of a stretch.” Larissa laughed. “It’s just that I’ve been taking on more scenes and getting more exposure.”

“Big star, could you please get me a glass of water.” Lindsey was just joking with her and was relieved to see that she didn’t take it seriously. “How’s the last name Tang.”

“Banned, and it ended badly.” Larissa blushed and said quietly, “He was beaten up right after you left with Edward, right after the movie went off the screen, and the case is still unsolved, and he’s suspected of smoking pot.”

Lindsey didn’t think of herself in the slightest, just shook her head feeling sorry for herself. “It’s a real … circle.”

“I’ll clean up my act, don’t worry about it.” Larissa joked half-heartedly, pouring water and handing it to her, “What’s next.”

“It depends, but definitely no movies is the way to go.” Lindsey shrugged her shoulders. “I’ll be spewed to death by the internet if it doesn’t do well at the box office.”

Larissa laughed, teased a few times, and then told her the gossip over the years one by one.

Lindsey listened with even emotion until she got to the point of Burton’s incarceration and then shrieked in surprise. “What does that have to do with me, I was obviously in Africa at the time.”

Larissa spread her hands, helpless to explain. “That’s what the press reported, and I thought it was strange at the time. Including what happened to The Palvin family now, and everyone was speculating that it was all because of you.”

Lindsey thought back carefully on what she had said and three words – Bruce – flashed through her mind unawares.

He still cared for her after all, only he could be so unforgiving, so thunderous.

At the municipal park, neither she nor Hector had seen the licence plate of the modified car, but Burton had still fallen foul of it.

But what did that have to do with her? Even if it hadn’t been for her, Bruce would have gone after Burton eventually, it was just a matter of time.

Pursing her lips in self-deprecation, Lindsey felt a little tired and went to the guest room to rest.

Larissa shook her head in distress and picked up her phone to call Edward to tell him about the encounter with Aurora in Paris Spring.

Lindsey had just returned and the news had been kept under wraps. If the press had sent out the news, all the work would have been wasted.

Edward gave her a few words of comfort on the phone and asked her to look after Lindsey, but said nothing else.

Larissa didn’t dare to ask. Although she was signed to Wind Entertainment, she didn’t have a good relationship with Edward.

She was not Lindsey, nor did she have Lindsey’s open eyes and insights.

Lindsey slept until noon, got up and saw Larissa preparing lunch, stopped her in time and dragged her to Shabu Shabu.

There were nearly thirty people on the medical team, all around the same age, and when they saw that Lindsey had brought the star Larissa with her, they joked about it.

“That’s not right guys, I was agreed to be your little angel.” Lindsey was in a good mood, so she followed suit. “What kind of person is this happy with the new.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, there was a whirlwind of noise. “Lindsey, you’re Edward’s little angel all by yourself, we wouldn’t dare steal it from him.”

“Yeah Lindsey, you two have been showing off your love for each other in front of us, so admit it.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I propose that we all drink a toast to Lindsey and Edward.”

“Cheers, cheers …”

The small courtyard burst into life and the rowdy sounds carried a long way.

Lindsey, seeing the enthusiasm, simply picked up a glass of wine and got up to look at Edward with a smile. “A drink?”

She really appreciated the fact that he had put aside his worldly arrogance and stayed with her in Africa for the past three years.

“Just drink.” Edward stood up with a smile as he too stood on tiptoe with his glass.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He looked at her, the searing heat under his eyes had dissipated and become warm and mellow.

In this life, it had been enough to be with her willingly and undisturbed for three years, to see her cry for people she didn’t care about, laugh for people she didn’t care about, and cheer for him to finish a painting.

Her eyes were much deeper than they had been three years ago, and many of her thoughts were no longer easily revealed.

Yet he could still feel that she still couldn’t let go of Bruce, the man who had taken over her whole body and soul.

“No, no, it’s too insincere for you two to drink like this, you have to make a toast, don’t you think so.” There was a renewed outcry and a lively whistle.

Lindsey slanted an eye breeze over and slowly curled her lips. “Who was saying I wasn’t sincere, eh?”

“Not me! The warrior woman begged off.”

“It wasn’t me either!”

“Definitely not me!”

“…”

Everyone denied it, and for a moment the courtyard was in an uproar again.

Lindsey smiled with satisfaction, swung her own glass and tilted her head to drink it dry in one gulp. The moment she lowered her head, a familiar figure walked vaguely past the door of the small courtyard.
