They won’t have enough money to develop supplements for you anymore.“Since you won’t need it, why bother? Otherwise, you won’t have any money after you get married.”Carmen heard what I was implying and burst out laughing. She loosened her grip on my arm. “No wonder you insisted on announcing our wedding date back in our home country. You were plotting for this moment.” My revenge plan had been exposed. I felt a bit helpless but comforted at the same time. Fortunately, the woman I was about to spend the rest of my life with was on the same page as I was.Winnie was dumbfounded for a while. When Joe tried to leave with her, she suddenly grabbed him. “Joe, what does Benjamin mean? What supplement? What does he mean by you not needing it?“Aren’t you terminally ill with cancer? Why wouldn’t you need it?”Someone seated closest to them star
Winnie’s jaw fell open as she blinked. “It’s because… because the aphrodisiac is specially made for the individual. The dosage was strong, so the effect was strong too…“So, it’s hard for an average person to pass the test…“But I always believed that you could do it, Benjamin. I was always there for you throughout all eight tests!“My family pressured me a lot, but I never agreed to their arranged marriage. I only want to marry you. Because of that, my grandfather has stopped giving me money!“Even with that, I didn’t want to leave you. Why did you give up so easily?”I laughed at how ridiculous she was being. Fortunately, I had expected her antics, so I had prepared in advance. After snapping my fingers, the screen revealed evidence of a few transactions. “This is the amount of money I’ve spent on the Smith family tests.“A single dose of aphrodisiac costs three million dollars, so it’s twenty-four million dollars in total. You said you transferred all of the money to t
“Benjamin, no! You can’t marry her!“You promised me that you wouldn’t marry anyone else besides me!” Winnie appeared a little disheveled after we parted for half a month. She would always dress in designer clothes and carry designer bags in the past. Even when the Smith family no longer sent her money, she would ask me to purchase the latest luxury goods for her. However, she was only wearing a regular long dress this time. Her face was pale, and there were bruises on her body. It looked like Peter had hit her more than ten times. When she rushed in, she was holding a pink diamond ring. I had given it to her when I first asked her to be my wife. “Benjamin, did you forget your promise?”In contrast, Carmen was all dolled up. She glanced at Winnie and smiled at me. “Is this the woman you mentioned giving you eight injections’ worth of sleeping medicine?” I knew Carmen was making fun of me, but I had no retort. I just snapped my fingers indifferently. “Where’s securit
“Since Mr. Lowe is getting married, Mr. Smith wanted you to attend the ceremony with some gifts and well wishes to save the Smith family’s reputation…”Winnie suddenly shot up. “What did you say? Benjamin’s getting married?”The butler pointed at the news and nodded. “That’s right. They just released the news today. They’re having the wedding next Wednesday. “He’s marrying Carmen Miller, the Miller family’s eldest daughter. She was recently featured in an entrepreneurship magazine.” Winnie’s face turned ashen. Her eyes followed the butler’s finger, and she saw a photo at the end of the news article. It was an engagement photo of me and another woman. Benjamin Lowe and Carmen Miller. “No! It’s impossible!” After I took over the Lowe family business, I became extremely busy. Not only did I have to work a lot, but I also had to deal with some old workers and venture into new markets. We could not limit ourselves to the oil industry. Most importantly, my family had arra
Joe was putting up a big act to end his life. So, Winnie had to persuade and comfort him for more than three hours. Firefighters and police officers were also dispatched to save him. Even paramedics were on standby, yet he refused to get off the bridge. Then, an idea struck her. She took out the marriage certificate and promised him that if he got off the bridge, she would marry him. Only then did he nod in agreement. Winnie let out a sigh of relief before frantically sending him to the hospital. However, on the way, he suddenly complained of a headache. He insisted on returning to our new house to rest. She had no choice but to ask the driver to switch to a different destination instead. It took her three days to pacify Joe and for a private doctor to verify that his condition had stabilized. Nevertheless, Winnie gazed at Joe’s sleeping face with satisfaction. She finally thought of me after she relaxed. She had accidentally dropped her cell phone into the sea the day Jo
I was feeling extremely weak from the high fever. So, I allowed the butler to carelessly leave me at home alone. Fortunately, the doctor had prescribed me some medicine. I consumed it with cold water and curled up on the couch to sleep. I was covered in sweat when I woke up, but I finally regained some strength. I had a dozen text messages. Aside from the address my father had sent me regarding the succession ceremony, the other text messages were from Joe’s throwaway account. [Thank you for your sudden fever. To make it up to me, Winnie allowed me to hug her the whole night.][Winnie said she has more money for me to try new treatments. Even though it’s useless for me, it’s still your hard-earned money. I’ll treasure it.]He also sent me a photo of a marriage certificate. Besides the certificate and another photo of them, I saw Winnie’s handwriting that detailed her wish. [Joe, I hope to grow old with you in the next life.]On the bottom right corner, their thumbprints
