Spoiled Wife No More: Paying Off His Ruin Chapter 11
A month later, it was my birthday. It was also the day our whole family flew out to the island.The helicopter circled over the deep blue sea, hovering above the private island I had only ever heard about.The view was undeniably breathtaking.White sand beaches, swaying palm trees, and a luxurious villa nestled along the shore.However, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.Only after the helicopter landed did I realize what it was.At the entrance of the villa, there were no uniformed staff waiting to greet us. Instead, there was a row of solar panels.Theo held my hand proudly as he introduced it."Darling, the island used to run entirely on diesel generators. It was incredibly expensive, so I had Ms. Clark convert everything to solar and wind power. Now we pay nothing for electricity."I stared at him."That's great. It's very eco-friendly."Dinner time came.I had imagined a lavish seafood feast of Auscranian lobster, king crab, and bluefin tuna.In my

Two hours later, I waddled out of the restaurant holding my stomach."Eve, how did you even find this place? That was amazing!" I said, rubbing my belly contentedly. "I can't believe how much money I used to waste just for so-called status. I'm never going to be that reckless, clueless spender again..."As we talked, we passed by a pop-up exhibition.The space was decorated in dreamy shades of pink and lavender, attracting a crowd of young women.I noticed Evelyn's steps slow almost imperceptibly.Her gaze landed on a fluffy plush toy, and for a brief moment, something almost childlike flickered in her eyes.Then she looked away. Her usual logic snapped back into place."Let's go. It's just a polyester-filled mass-produced product. The cost is under five dollars, and they're selling it for 80 dollars. Zero appreciation potential. Total rip-off."She turned to leave.This time, I grabbed her wrist."Eve, you're right about the numbers, but you missed one variable."She looked

After that night, Evelyn and I became surprisingly close friends.That afternoon, just before the workday ended, I waited outside Theo's company building.The moment I spotted that familiar figure, I dashed over. "Evelyn! I'm here to pick you up!""You came this early, Riley?" Evelyn asked, looking a little surprised. "Have you been waiting long?"I smiled. "I just got here. Come on, dinner's on me!"As soon as I said that, Theo emerged through the revolving glass doors.The moment he saw me, all the tension drained from his face."Darling, why are you here so early? What do you feel like eating? I'll take you to..."Before he could finish, I linked my arm through Evelyn's. "Darling, you misunderstood. I came to pick up Evelyn. There's still half a pizza left in the fridge from yesterday. Just microwave it for two minutes when you get home. Don't waste electricity heating up the oven.Theo's hand froze awkwardly midair, and the devastation on his face was visible to the naked

To thank Evelyn, I decided to invite her over for dinner.The moment Theo heard I was having a guest, his immediate reaction was, "We're eating at home. Restaurant food is overpriced, and who knows what kind of oil they use. Besides, Evelyn's picky. She only buys groceries on sale."I just stared at him.Since when did buying discounted food make someone picky?That evening, Evelyn showed up right on time, carrying a bag of strawberries still dotted with dirt."Mrs. Hudson, I picked these myself at a strawberry farm. I made sure to get the biggest, reddest ones. They might look a little messy, but I promise they're fresh and delicious."She handed me the bag with a completely straight face.Evelyn was such a down-to-earth woman.At the dinner table, the atmosphere was strangely harmonious.Theo and Evelyn looked like they'd finally found their long-lost fellow discount devotees."The current pork prices are ridiculously inflated," Theo said seriously. "I've realized going to

When I got home and saw the empty walk-in closet, the sorrow hit me all over again."My Hermès Himalayan Birkin, my limited-edition Constance, and that Kelly I waited two whole years to get…"I slumped against the glass cabinet like I had lost all will to move.Oliver walked in with his little hands behind his back. Theo followed right behind him, doing the exact same thing."Don't be sad, Mommy." Oliver pulled a crumpled plastic bag from his pocket. Inside were all the coins he had been saving."This is all my secret savings. 32 dollars and 50 cents. You can use it to buy your bags back."When I looked at those big, sincere eyes of Oliver's, my heart just melted.I reached out, getting all teary. "Ollie..."Just as I was about to take the bag, Theo grabbed my hand. "Hold on."He pushed up his non-existent glasses and gave Oliver the kind of sharp look a seasoned businessman would give a rival."Oliver, that 32 dollars and 50 cents came from helping me run errands and pick

"What?" This time, the shock was mine."Mrs. Hudson, Mr. Hudson did restructure a large portion of his assets some time ago," Evelyn explained helplessly, though she did her best to stay professional."The seller of that private island required full cash payment upfront, and the transaction window was extremely short. Mr. Hudson had to liquidate some non-core assets to avoid disrupting the company's cash flow. He even went so far as to cut his own personal expenses," she added, glancing at the faded collar of Theo's T-shirt.A flicker of admiration appeared in her eyes."Mr. Hudson said this was meant to be your birthday surprise and had to be kept strictly confidential. Even when the company's liquidity got so tight that he was only eating ten-dollar boxed meals for lunch, he repeatedly instructed me not to reveal a single word."My mouth fell open so wide it nearly hit the floor."This script makes no sense. I signed up for a 'rich guy loses it all' plotline. Since when does
