chapter 3

After hanging up the phone, Ariana immediately gave Leon a kiss on the cheek. "I was so scared today, I thought we were going to get caught."

Leon pinched her cheek with a smile and said dotingly, "What are you afraid of? I'm here. Even if we get caught, so what? I'll protect you."

"In a couple of days, there's an auction. I'll take you there for some fun. Buy whatever you like."

Ariana's eyes lit up instantly. "Thank you, you're really the best!"

I contacted the assistant to freeze Leon's supplementary card, ensuring he couldn't spend a single cent.

I want to see how he'll "buy whatever" without my money.

Ella is always efficient; before dawn, a complete timeline was sent to my inbox.

Leon didn't lie; Ariana is indeed his childhood friend, and they grew up together.

A year ago, after Ariana came to this city, the two started getting close.

He treated her extremely well, providing the best in food, clothing, and essentials. The spending records alone filled a fifty-page PPT.

I roughly calculated, and the amount reached tens of millions of dollars.

What's more ironic is that many of those items are familiar to me.

For example, the sapphire necklace he gave me on our wedding anniversary, which he claimed was bought for a fortune at an auction.

Because the necklace was too extravagant, I mostly kept it in the cabinet and rarely wore it.

But I just realized that everything he gave me was fake, and the real ones are all around Ariana's neck.

Looking at the pages of spending records, I was so angry that I laughed.

Thinking about how touched I felt when I received those gifts before, I now feel nauseous.

And Ariana, who owns the real ones, has built a "rich wife" persona online, showing off her jewelry, designer clothes, and bags every day.

With these things, shes gained hundreds of thousands of followers online.

I clicked into her account and found her latest post, where she filmed me and Leons downtown marital home. Not only that, she even went into my walk-in closet, casually picked up my clothes, and said to the camera, I have too many clothes at home, lets pick a few lucky followers to give them away.

"Dont worry, these clothes have never been worn, some even still have tags. Ill give them away for free in a raffle. For those who dont win, dont be upset, there will be more of these events in the future."

The screen was flooded with pop-up likes, filled with envy and praise.

Some even asked her why she was so wealthy. She replied, "Its all my husbands money. We grew up together, and he always gives me the best."

"In a couple of days, hes taking me to an auction. Ill make a video for you when were back."

I left a comment with my new account: [Can you livestream the auction tomorrow? We ordinary people have never seen what a real auction looks like.]

Many people liked my comment, asking Ariana to livestream and let the fans broaden their horizons.

Ariana quickly replied, "Alright, Ill livestream tomorrow and let everyone join the auction immersively."

Seeing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Leon wants to use my card to let her buy whatever she wants; it wouldnt be right if I didnt show up.
