Chapter 21 More Tricks Up My Sleeve

Tanya's feelings were so obvious even an idiot could see them. Chris, however, was no idiot. So how could he be so blind to her feelings?Besides, Tanya wore her feelings on her sleeve. “So what?” Raising a brow, Chris asked. He did not look fazed. Feeling at a loss, Paige gritted her teeth in frustration. “You keep in touch with her and even took her out on a romantic dinner when she’s in love with you. You’re leading Tanya on and giving her the wrong idea. She’d think you’re interested in her,” Paige said angrily. “I have never given her that impression,” Chris said callously. Paige glared at him. Chris was a two-timing flirt. He enjoyed the chase, never turning down a beautiful woman.Only a player would enjoy the thrill of the chase, stringing another woman along without committing to anybody. “You’re a two-timer!” Paige yelled. Chris had no words. He looked at Paige, taken aback by the comment never made about him before. Was he two-timing? Technically, h

Chapter 22 Chris’ Obsession

Chris could feel a certain area of his going soft. “I could also get a private investigator to find proof of your infidelity so I can get a share of your assets.” Chris had no words. “I might consider lacing your food with a slow-acting poison. You’ll grow weaker by the day until you die,” Paige said smugly. She believed her ideas were great. Paige planned to follow through with one of her plans if Chris were to rub her the wrong way. Chris scoffed in disdain. The girl was so naïve. “What are you laughing about?” Paige frowned. “You’ll be committing deliberate harm by taking away my manhood. Even if you have the luck to harm me, you can’t escape,” Chris said aloofly. “You talk about taking my assets by finding proof of infidelity. Sorry to break it to you, but the chances of that happening are slim. If I cheat, you’d never find proof because I’ll make sure to cover my tracks. Besides, my shares were assets before we married, so they have nothing to do with you. I have

Chapter 23 Poisoned

Though, Paige had nothing to be worried about. As far as the story setting went, Chris should be going after her sister for revenge, not her. It was Sierra who hurt Chris, after all. Sierra was the female protagonist, while Paige was just a disposable supporting character caught between the domineering COO and the female protagonist. Paige sighed to herself. As a supporting character who could be sacrificed at any moment, Paige felt weary. “Go.” Chris’ voice interrupted Paige’s random thoughts. Paige did not know what to say. Where was she supposed to go? “Shower,” Chris said. Paige froze. He told her to shower. Was it a hint? No, it was not a hint. He was basically telling her right to her face. What was going through Chris’ mind? He was thinking about nude photography a moment ago, but now his mind had gone straight to the gutter. Chris had better things to do as the COO of the Jewell Group. He should be thinking about business and profits. Paige was

Chapter 24 Delusional

Paige was at a loss. She blinked and stared at Chris with a blushing face. Any minute now, the CCO would begin to punish her. Paige was nervous and afraid that the punishment would go on all night long. She might not make it through the night. “And that’s how I’d be poisoned,” Chris said. Paige was shocked. What did he mean? How did the conversation return to the topic of poisoning?She thought Chris would throw her onto the bed and unleash his wrath on her. Why was he talking about poison again? Paige was dumbstruck. She wondered if she was too dense to keep up with Chris’ train of thought. Chris claimed he would be poisoned just by kissing her. What did Chris take her for? Did Chris really think she was capable of poisoning him through a kiss?Chris curled his lips as Paige stared blankly at him with her Bambi eyes. She was not quite getting the point. Silly girl. “I think you should consider using skincare products with fewer chemicals,” Chris

Chapter 25 Roommates’ Strange Behavior 　

Paige replied, “…I’m hungry.” Chris said, “Get up. Come have breakfast.” Paige only looked at Chris. She knew she had to get out of bed to eat. However, she was… How was she supposed to get out of bed? Although she and Chris were intimate with one another, she felt uncomfortable being bare around him. Chris’ eyes were on Paige as she sat still in bed, even though she had said she was hungry. Did Paige expect him to feed her? “Should I bring the food up and feed you?” Chris asked. Paige stared at Chris in shock. She quickly shook her head. No, no, no. She could not possibly have him feed her. Paige would lose her appetite. Still, what was Chris thinking? How did he come up with such a horrifying thing? “Why aren’t you getting up, then?” Chris asked. Paige looked at Chris with clenched teeth. Fine, she would get out of bed. She would show Chris how absurd he was. Paige bit the bullet, pulled open the covers, and got out of bed. She slipped past C

Chapter 26 Invite Chris Out

Annabelle, Millie, and Lisa showed off their expensive purchases worth tens of thousands of dollars.Paige was curious, but she did not want to pry. People could buy whatever they wanted, and she had no right to ask about it.She lay in bed on her phone, reading online novels and watching short videos. “Paige,” Lisa suddenly called Paige. Surprised, Paige looked at Lisa standing by Paige’s bed. “What’s the matter?” Paige asked. Lisa looked Paige in the eye and asked, “What is higher society like?” Paige was taken aback. She looked back at Lisa, not understanding where the question was coming from. “Why the sudden curiosity?” Paige asked. Lisa blushed and replied, “I’m just curious.” Paige brushed it off, figuring that ordinary people found the high life intriguing. “High society has a different standard of living than most people,” Paige pointed out. It was not the answer Lisa was looking for. Lisa asked, “Um… Is it possible for girls from ordinary families to m

Chapter 27 Some Respect

It would be embarrassing if Paige called and Chris refused her invitation for dinner. She had her pride. “Nah. He’s busy with work,” Paige said. Kyle said with a smile, “He still has to eat. He should make time for you too.” Paige had no words. She glanced at Kyle. Kyle called Chris by his first name as if he was close to the man. However, Kyle should know the situation between her and Chris if he was on good terms with Chris. Although Kyle could not possibly know that Sierra cheated on Chris, he would know she took her sister’s place to marry Chris. Paige doubted Kyle was oblivious to her relationship with Chris. Yet, he told her to invite Chris out.Kyle probably wanted her to make a fool of herself. Still, Paige had no conflict with Kyle. It did not explain his motivation. What was Kyle’s motive for asking her to invite Chris out if not to mock her? “Paige?” Kyle looked at Paige through the rear-view mirror. He asked with a smile, “What’s the matter? Are you w

Chapter 28 Pot Stirrer

“How did you guys get together?” Chris asked. From his perspective, it seemed as if Paige would never cross paths with Kyle. Somehow, they ended up having dinner together. Maybe they knew each other from before. “Chris, this is my girlfriend, Lisa.” Kyle pulled Lisa close and introduced her to Chris. “I only found out today when I picked Lisa up that Paige and Lisa were roommates.” Chris glanced at Lisa. The woman looked a little familiar. Lisa blushed when Chris looked at her. She curled her lips to say hello to Chris, but Chris quickly turned away. Her smile froze, but Lisa did not take long to pull herself together. Paige was oblivious to what had happened. Kyle looked at Lisa furiously. Lisa was his woman, and she tried to hit on Chris. Although Lisa had done nothing out of line, Kyle had been in enough relationships to know how a woman looked at a man.He did not care much about Lisa since she was easy. He was angry, not because he cared, but because Lisa tr

Chapter 29 Tough Paige

Paige stared at her roommates, her eyes wide with surprise. Millie, Lisa, and Annabelle appeared friendly, as if they were close to Tanya. They had only met Tanya the day before. Tanya merely dropped them off at school. The journey home seemed to have strengthened their bond. What on earth happened last night? Paige’s three roommates were infuriated at Tanya for her sake after they ran into Tanya and Chris having dinner at the restaurant last night. Today, they had a change of attitude. Lisa, Annabelle, and Millie saw the look on Paige’s face and felt awkward. Yesterday, they supported Paige in teaching Tanya a lesson because they thought she was a mistress. Today, they were chummy with the mistress.“Paige, you got the wrong idea about Tanya,” Lisa said with a smile. Paige had no words. Tanya looked at Lisa in confusion and asked Paige, “What? What wrong idea did you have about me?” Lisa answered with a grin, “Paige thinks something is going on between you and C

Chapter 30 Witty Paige

Ha. Paige was getting ahead of herself by celebrating early. Tanya's face turned red with anger, but she forced a smile. Paige smiled broadly in return.In fact, Paige had no issues with Tanya. From a woman to a woman, Paige saw the love in Tanya’s eyes as she looked at Chris. Tanya had a romantic candlelight dinner with Chris the night before, and now she tried to be chummy with Chris. It was a punch in the gut for Paige, who was Chris’ wife. No matter the circumstances of their marriage, Paige was still Chris’ wife.Tanya had no right to put Paige down. Paige believed she had become arrogant. She was afraid of Chris’ revenge and torment in the early days of their marriage. As Paige got to know him, she gradually lost her fear as Chris treated her with respect, except in the bedroom. Chris did nothing to her when she kicked up a huge fuss last night. “What’s the matter, Ms. Burns? You look upset.” With her eyes fixed on Tanya, Paige asked with a smile. Before T
