Spencer's face darkened. "After you, Mr. Marshall," he said coldly.Zane entered his car and instructed his assistant to look into the relationship between Ariana and Spencer.After seeing off a few department heads at the restaurant entrance, Ariana prepared to walk back to the hotel.It wasn't far—just a few miles.After a few moments, she noticed the sound of footsteps beside her. Turning her head slightly, she saw Spencer walking next to her.Spencer kept his gaze forward, not even glancing her way. His steps were purposeful and steady, as if deeply focused on walking.Ariana had no idea what he was trying to do, but her instinct told her she wanted nothing more to do with him. She thought about speeding up but remembered Spencer's long legs—it'd take him two strides to catch up. So, instead, she slowed down.With his naturally long strides, Spencer quickly created some distance between them.When Ariana looked up again, she noticed Spencer had stopped ahead of her, tur

Rowan looked at Zane, confused. "What do you mean?"Zane smirked. "A woman like Ariana deserves to be pampered. If Spencer doesn't appreciate her, someone else will."Rowan chuckled. "So, you've got your eye on her? But giving her expensive jewelry out of the blue—she might not accept it.""That's where you come in. Just don't tell her it's from me."Rowan raised an eyebrow. "And what about the project in Westbridge?""I'll assign it to you," Zane said, not hesitating. "I'll get someone to send the jewelry over right away."The Westbridge project was a highly profitable venture. Under normal circumstances, Zane wouldn't have given it up so easily. Rowan asked, "Are you really into her, or is this just a passing fancy?""The Westbridge project and the jewelry..." Zane replied. "If that's not enough to show my sincerity, let me know what else I should contribute.""It's enough," Rowan said with a grin. "But from what I know, Ariana isn't the type to be swayed by material things

If not, Spencer could have found out where Ariana was. She had been gone for five years. And at her first gathering since she came back here, she was wearing a necklace given to her by another man. How could Spencer tolerate this? "Don't move," he said. After that, he became focused as he brushed aside her hair to deal with the pearl necklace's clasp. His hands were large, and the clasp was small. At first, all of Spencer's attention was on the necklace. But soon, he realized that his position with Ariana was far too intimate. He had her pinned down while his knees were forcefully wedged between her legs. As he leaned in, he could smell Ariana's scent that had haunted his dreams. Noticing the shameful changes happening in his body, his steady hands began to tremble. He could not grasp the tiny clasp, no matter how hard he tried. Ariana also realized that he wanted to take the pearl necklace off her neck. Although she did not understand why Spencer was acting so strangely, the n

Zane pulled out a cigarette. He lit it with a flick of his lighter and then said, "I told you. Once I give something away, there's no reason for me to take it back. Throw it away if you don't like it. About dinner, I'll wait for your message." With that, he turned and left. Holding the necklace, Ariana stood there for a few seconds before carefully putting it away. As she turned around, she saw Spencer. She reached up to remove the necklace Spencer had put on her earlier and held it out to him. "Here. Take it back." Spencer did not take it. "I bought it for you. And when you have time, come pick up the others at home, too."Ariana shook her head. "I won't take them." Spencer gritted his teeth in frustration. "Throw them away then!" How could these men say such things without any concern as if money grew on trees? Ariana had no choice but to put the necklace in her bag. Spencer was displeased again. "You're not wearing it anymore?"Ariana said, "I shouldn't have agreed to bo

"You're not so young anymore, so stop fooling around. Also, you should visit those places you took me and Sienna before less often in the future." "What's wrong with those places? I think they're fine." "What's fine about them? Rowan doesn't seem mild-tempered. Once or twice might be okay, but you'll hurt him if this keeps up. It'll be too late by the time you regret it." "That would be perfect, then! We'd just go our separate ways," Boa said. "That's exactly what I want!" "Watch what you're saying! How many good things have been ruined by that sharp tongue of yours? Others might not see it, but I know better. You clearly have feelings for Rowan." "Alright, now. You're so perceptive." Boa had an indifferent look on her face. "Let's not talk about this. Don't worry about my business. Let me ask you. Did Spencer show up?" "He did," Ariana said. "Not just Spencer, but also someone called Zane Marshall. I just found out that the necklace you lent me was actually his." "Who? Z
