The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

Aurora’s anger finally got the better of her and she raised her eyebrows, meeting Bruce’s angry eyes with a provocative flourish.

Bruce met her indifferently, his cold face instantly clouded over with rain.

“What, you don’t even want to put on a show once your old love returns.” Lifting her foot down the steps, Aurora laughed disdainfully. “Before you kick me out, you’d better think about the cost of divorce.”

“Divorce? Miss Aurora has probably forgotten that we were never registered.” Bruce pursed his lips, and the words were like knives. “Old Mr. Palvin would love to see the contents of my medical records.”

Aurora’s body shook with fear, her face instantly as white as paper. “What do you mean?”

“What do you mean!” Bruce laughed abruptly. “Miss Aurora probably doesn’t know that when anesthetics are taken, there is residue in the body’s bloodstream.”

“I don’t!” Aurora laughed back in exasperation. “Even if you could prove that you were drugged in the first place, who’s to say that it was necessarily me who gave it to you.”

The smile on Bruce’s face deepened and his cold eyes lingered on her face like a joke. “Then how do you explain the fact that Miss Aurora is still a virgin.”

Aurora’s mind exploded and the blood faded from her face. “Shame on you!”NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Bruce didn’t even bother to look at her and looked sideways at Cary. “Go back to Nine Lakes and if this woman doesn’t move in three days, you’ll throw her out.”

“You can’t do that! Don’t forget what you promised Old Mr. Grant.” Aurora broke down, her face, which had been exquisitely made up, was overly contorted and looked distinctly frightening. “Are you going to ruin The Grant family’s reputation!”

Bruce paused slightly in his steps and continued striding out the door.

Reputation! It was because of those two words that he had been forced to let Lindsey go in the first place.

He had waited three years for Lindsey to return, and had given her all the face he could.

Sitting in the car, he raised his hand to look at the atomic watch on his wrist and ordered in a deep voice. “Inform Hector to find out where the young lady is and to keep her safe 24 hours a day.”

“Good.” Cary started the car in silence, thinking that Lindsey had finally returned, otherwise they would all be in a mental institution en masse.

Bruce hadn’t smiled once in three years since she’d disappeared, hadn’t taken a step inside the old house.

The house is the same as it was when Lindsey left, and the same as it is today. They both knew that he was waiting for her to return, that his heart, like the house, had been empty since the moment Lindsey left.

And what they had promised Lindsey, they had done.

In those three years, Bruce was in no danger and The Harris family was driven far from B-town.

The mansion was inhabited by other women, but the title of young lady had never been Lindsey’s.

Aurora froze in the courtyard where she lived, unable to look back for a long time.

Bruce had come back, but he hadn’t come back to see her, he had come back to sweep her off her feet!

As she entered the house, Aurora thought about it more and more, but she wanted to call Selena but was afraid she would laugh at her. After a long moment’s hesitation, she opened the door and, with a frosty face, ordered her driver to go to Nine Lakes.

If she was kicked out of the Grant Residence, she would be the biggest joke in town!

Lindsey wanted to see her make a fool of herself, no way!

When she arrived at Nine Lakes Hill in silence, Aurora got out of the car and politely told the man on duty at the kiosk that she wanted to see Old Mr. Grant.

A phone call was made and the reply was that Old Mr. Grant was unwell and would not see anyone.

Aurora’s hands and feet went cold, and her pretty, moist eyes were instantly filled with ice. For three years, every time she had asked to see him, Old Mr. Grant had been unwell, while Lindsey had always come straight up the hill whenever she came over.

The Grant family’s slap was silent, yet it hurt her to the bone.

She was resigned to the fact that she had come this far and she was not willing to lose to Lindsey in any way.

To lose to that mudblood from the mountains!

One day it was sunny and hot, but in the blink of an eye, it was suddenly pouring rain and thundering.

Lindsey woke up after a good night’s sleep to see that the rain was still pouring down, so she had no choice but to go out.

Larissa was busy, having done a visit yesterday afternoon and flying to another city for an event in the evening.

Luckily, the flat was in good shape, and a bellhop came by regularly to clean it.

After washing up, Lindsey turns on the TV and eats while watching the news.

The morning’s entertainment was being replayed, mostly the opening of the first day’s exhibition, but also a story about The Grant family.

But the content of the coverage had nothing to do with entertainment.

The reporters had a lot of time on their hands to see that Bruce was divorcing Aurora.

After filling her stomach and going through the various articles of association of the Foundation, she thought of Bruce again for no apparent reason.

She really missed him and wanted to hug him, but she couldn’t.

Whatever the relationship between him and Aurora, to the outside world they were still married.

If she went along with him, she would be the uncompromising mistress.

What a cruel reality …

Raising a hand to rub her brow, Lindsey exhaled her frustrated breath and continued to revise the charter. What she had seen and heard in Africa over the past three years had made her understand her grandfather’s original intentions even better, and she wanted to do this right.

She had seen too many children who had lost their health at birth, and even after three years, those images were still fresh in her mind.

It’s just that the road ahead may be difficult once this is done.

Charity in H has always been a mess, and to do it well, you have to have the determination to withstand the pressure.

Finally finished with her work, Lindsey looked out the window again at the weather and finally decided to head out.

On the way, she received a call from Karen, a member of the medical team, inviting her for a coffee at Starbucks, and Lindsey didn’t even think twice about saying yes.

She doesn’t have many friends in B. Jesse is a busy man, Larissa is busy, Jimmy has a girlfriend, and she’s probably going to have a lot of scandal when she shows up. As for Edward, he’s a busy man too.

The shop Karen had mentioned was near the World Trade Center, and Lindsey got out of the car, made sure she was right, and went into the shop.

“Hi Lindsey, this way.” Karen was sitting by the window, and when she saw Lindsey enter, she smiled and waved at her, “That was fast.”

“I was on my way when I got your call, getting some presents for my little nephews and nieces.” Lindsey laughed and sat down, teasing, “What’s going on, coming here for coffee by yourself.”

“Don’t mention it, my dad kicked me out over work.” Karen sighed. “What do you want to drink, it’s on me.”

“Coffee would be fine.” Lindsey looked concerned as she seemed very upset. “You don’t want to go to the hospital?”

“Of course not, being a nurse is exhausting and aggravating, and you can’t get your personal safety.” Karen frowned and poured out her grievances. “I signed up to volunteer because I was afraid of going to the hospital, and you think it’s been three years and my dad is still brain dead.”

Lindsey asked her with amusement, “So what do you want to do?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet, I don’t know what I want to do in nursing without going to the hospital.” Karen had barely finished her sentence when she suddenly noticed Lindsey’s face change.

She instinctively turned around, only to see a woman standing behind her at some point.

Dressed in a long, flowing lace dress, her figure was immaculately kept and fairy-like. Although her face was mostly covered by sunglasses, she could still see the uneven scars on the lower half of her face.

Just as she was about to ask a question, the woman opened her mouth first. “Miss Lindsey, I haven’t seen you for a few years, but I didn’t expect you to look the same.”

Lindsey curled her lips, her tone detached. “We don’t seem to know each other well.”

Just how many people in this town couldn’t see her well, and as soon as the news of her return was announced, all sorts of bullies and snakes came to her door.

“Not well, indeed.” Tina sat down as if no one was watching and gracefully took off her sunglasses. “But my face, it was you who ruined it for you.”

“I’m sorry.” Lindsey’s eyes lingered on her face for a second, smiling innocently away. “I didn’t understand what you were saying.”

So what if she’d done it? After all these years, were you going to settle the score later.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand.” Tina smiled back. “There’s always someone who understands.”

With that, she put her sunglasses back on and slowly got up to leave.

Lindsey looked at her still shapely and charming back and shrugged helplessly. You think she’s still the same as she was three years ago, just looking for a few reporters to throw dirt on her?

Bruce had been generous in not killing her, after all, it was Burton who was the mastermind.

She thinks she can step on Aurora’s toes and make a fool of herself.

Confused by Tina’s actions, Karen couldn’t help but ask, “You know her, huh?”

“Know her, but not very well.” Lindsey finished, her eyes tracing Tina’s figure as she slowly moved to the window.

She was still thinking that it was definitely no coincidence that Tina would be here when she saw her being grabbed into a car.

Although she only saw the side of the man driving the car, Lindsey easily recognised the man as Carl.

Having been back for a week, Edward had kept the news as quiet as possible and she hadn’t informed Hector, not expecting them to move so quickly.

It would be a lie to say that she was not touched, although the friendship was not deep, Lindsey knew that they had taken good care of Bruce during her absence for a few years.

Karen hadn’t seen Tina being taken and was baffled to see her sudden change of face again. “Lindsey what’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing.” Lindsey pulled back from her thoughts and pulled out a wild excuse. “I’ve been back from too much big fish and meat and my stomach is a little upset.”

“Me too.” Karen instantly dropped her face, “If I keep this up, I’m not afraid of getting a stomach ache, I’m afraid of gaining weight.”

Lindsey put on a smile and made a couple of jokes, before turning to her own charity fund and asking if she would be interested in joining it.

“Is there a salary?” Karen was a little tempted. “If there’s a salary, I’ll go.”

“I’d let you work for nothing.” Lindsey joked and moved on to other topics.

Karen was so happy to hear that she was being paid that she forgot about her troubles.

Lindsey couldn’t help but shake her head and laugh, thinking that she had come on the right trip.

When we left Starbucks, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still overcast.

Lindsey said goodbye to Karen and went to a nearby shop, but she didn’t get anything.

When she got out of the car, she noticed that Hector was following her and turned into an alley.
