The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

“I’m not going, go out and practice my chi while it’s nice, I’ve regressed from not moving for so long.” Lindsey pretended to be angry and pushed him. “You get up too, don’t fail to live up to Grandpa’s expectations of you.

Bruce narrowed his eyes and got up as he was told.

Lindsey had an appointment with Edward to shoot a movie poster, and after a quick boxing session with him, he had breakfast and ordered logistics to prepare the car.

When she got into the car, Bruce hugged her, squinting and looking unhappy. “I don’t want to go to Hong Kong Island, I’ll have to sleep by myself if I do.”

“How old are you?” Lindsey pinched his cheek breathlessly. “Just finish work early and come back.”

“Okay, whatever you say.” Bruce cooed and opened his eyes, his low voice held a hint of love and he laughed out softly, “Still want to buy me health underwear.”

“Bugger you!” Lindsey buried her head in his chest and smothered, reaching out to pinch him. “Pervert.”

Cary was in the car, the guy was getting cheeky.

“You’re the only one I’m horny for.” Bruce laughed again, tightening the force of his arms and burying his head into the nape of her neck to rub it. “So sad to see you.”

Lindsey teases him a bit and takes out her phone to look through her schedule.

When they arrived at the Academy, Bruce watched her go upstairs before instructing Cary to turn around.

Lindsey delivered the information to Assistant Chen, made sure it was okay, and then went downstairs to the car Edward had sent.

In fact, during the shooting of the film, some shots had already been taken, but Edward was not satisfied with them, so he asked for additional shots.

When she got out of the car, she met Larissa and Lindsey gave her a bear hug, laughing, “This time you have to look beautiful and win the cover of all the top five magazines.”

“On your word, do you have plans for lunch, if not let’s go out for dinner, I hear there’s a good Japanese restaurant nearby.” Larissa laughed back and lowered her voice in jest. “You and Mr. Grant are very sweet.”

Lindsey blushes, and in the afterglow she sees Henson getting out of the car too and immediately pats her. “Don the star is here.”

Larissa took her arm affectionately and greeted Henson together.

Henson nodded, his eyes sweeping over Lindsey’s face, his big star pose in full force as he instructed his assistant, “Go get the costumes that were prepared in the car.”

Lindsey didn’t know what he was up to, but Edward’s car arrived, so she said hello and followed him upstairs.

Edward was about Bruce’s height, and as he walked beside Lindsey, he looked down and saw the stinging hickey on the back of her neck, and his chest became suffocated.

Lindsey could heal, and not at a bad level. The outside world said Bruce was a wreck, but he had actually guessed seven or eight percent in his mind after seeing his grandfather’s condition stabilise with his own eyes.

Bruce had not only recovered, but recovered well.

Yet seeing intimate marks on her body with his own eyes was still somewhat unacceptable. He had thought that he still had a chance.

His suddenly bad mood made him constantly nitpick during the shoot, either disliking Lindsey’s bad dress or her poor posing. The atmosphere in the studio was extremely depressing.

Rudy, the photographer he worked with, went to university with Edward. Realising that his mood was affecting his work, he had to stop the shoot and take him to the lounge.

Edward’s relationship with Lindsey was more or less known to him as a member of the media, but he just didn’t expect him to be so out of control.

Closing the door, Rudy stared at Edward who had lost his mind and was simply baffled. “What’s wrong with her that makes you as mad as crazy.”

Edward shook his head, he couldn’t say why he was so angry.

Lindsey had never hidden her relationship with Bruce, it was just a very unpleasant feeling to confirm with his own eyes that they were closer than he could bear.

After a moment of silence, he pulled back his chair and sat down, waving his hand feebly towards Rudy. “Shoot as you wish, I want to be left alone.”

Rudy looked at him breathlessly, wanting to say something, the words coming out of his mouth but not knowing how to say it.

It was already irrational to fall for someone else’s girlfriend, or even fiancée. No matter how much he tried to persuade, it was all in vain.

Sighing, he opened the door and went out, following his original train of thought, to take Lindsey’s picture. After the main one-shot, the next was a group shot of the male and female leads, Lindsey was cooperative, it was her eyes that were always off.

“Lindsey, your eyes are a little more glazed over.” Rudy reminded once, turning around to find Edward out at some point, standing chilly and silent.

“Edward, you give her the word.” Rudy put away his camera and retreated to a side bench, sitting next to his assistant to look at the dailies together.

Edward raised his eyes to Lindsey, walked over with a complicated look in his eyes and spoke stiffly, “You’re going to imagine him as a ten-faced bad guy, not as a lover.”

His headless fire baffled Lindsey. She tilted her head slightly, her bright, starry eyes meeting his gaze for a moment. “Is that so.”

Edward met her gaze in silence, unmoved.

The sudden silence of the studio caused Rudy to look up subconsciously. Seeing Edward confronting Lindsey, she instantly caught the dark current between them and grabbed her camera and pressed the shutter.

After taking about a dozen shots in quick succession, he put the camera down and walked towards them with a smile. “That’s it, Edward, you go watch the dailies while I continue.”

Edward pursed his lips and turned around without hesitation, walking towards the workstation, leaving Lindsey with a straight back.

Lindsey lowered her eyes, rolled her eyes breathlessly, and when she looked up, a wide smile had returned to her face. The rest of the shoot went smoothly, and when it was over Lindsey went to take off her make-up and promptly pulled Larissa into a sneak preview.

But instead of Japanese food, they went to a Thai restaurant owned by Bruce.

Everyone from the doorman to the chef knew her, so they were led by the waiter to Bruce’s reserved classic table without having to make a reservation.

The weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly through the floor-to-ceiling windows and onto the greenery in front of them. The green leaves were so bright and green that it made people feel better.

Lindsey ordered two of her favourite dishes and handed the menu to Larissa with a smile. “I heard that the next film is already in the pipeline and you are the female lead, so this meal has to be on you.”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine with buying every day.” Larissa smiled broadly. “What the hell was that about Edward? It’s the first time I’ve seen him so angry.”

“God knows!” Lindsey spread her hands helplessly. “I’m baffled too, I don’t even know what I’ve done to offend him.”

Larissa laughed and teased, but considering that Edward was now her boss, she digressed and stopped gossiping about it.

If she didn’t mention it, Lindsey naturally wouldn’t either. She had a strange feeling that Edward was suddenly angry today, and it seemed to be because of Bruce.

But then she thought he was boring, and he was the one who was the least jealous.

After ordering, the waiter brought two glasses of aperitif and gave Larissa a VIP card for the shop.

Larissa was so flattered that she took the card and saw that it was a gold membership card, and she was so impressed with Lindsey.

Before she could even say thank you, a sarcastic voice came over first. “I thought it was someone, but it’s our righteous sister.”

The familiar voice caused Larissa’s entire body to freeze in shock and hold her breath.

Lindsey turned her head and looked in the direction of the voice, as if she had seen the other person before, but had little lasting impression, so she asked Larissa curiously, “Larissa, your friend, huh?”

“I don’t know him well.” Larissa shook her head decisively.

Lindsey’s eyes suddenly turned playful as she remembered that she was the beautiful CEO of China Star and Aurora’s best friend.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Selena snorted coldly, got up and walked gracefully over to Larissa, reached out and drew away the membership card, laughing mockingly, “No wonder you’re so righteous, this card, as far as I know less than a thousand people in the whole of B City can have it.”

She spoke in an extraordinarily harsh tone and Lindsey subconsciously frowned, her voice sinking. “Give it back to her.”

“Ouch, Mrs. Mr. Grant is so generous.” Selena laughed again, turning back to her companion and making an exaggerated face as she parroted, “Give it back to her.”

With that, the fingers that were squeezing the card loosened. Selena laughed as she pretended to lose her hand and turned to walk away.

Lindsey grimaced and spoke up again as Larissa bent down to pick up the card. “Let her pick it up.”

“Lindsey, it’s better if I pick it up myself.” Larissa’s voice was soft, as if the wind blew it away.

“I said, let her pick it up.” Lindsey didn’t move, her harsh gaze skimming over her head and landing on Selena’s face. “This young lady, if you don’t pick up the card, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Selena’s body shook in fear and she blustered and laughed. “You hear that, she told me she was going to be rude to me.”

Larissa, afraid of making too much of a scene, rushed to sit beside Lindsey and begged her not to make a big deal out of it.

Lindsey didn’t know the so-called worldly kids in town well, but it had never been her style to let someone humiliate her for no reason.

Taking out her phone, she glanced up at Selena and tweeted to Bruce in a slow and deliberate manner. “Bruce, President Hu of China Star is causing trouble at Thai Taste, do you know him.”

A few moments after sending, Bruce sent one back, Lindsey turned on the speakerphone and his familiar low voice rang out. “No, who cares what kind of dog or cat he is, grandpa said, whoever bullies you, just hit them back.”

Lindsey didn’t reply, just stared at Selena with a smirk on her phone. “Selena, excuse me, could you please pick up the membership card from the floor?”

Selena had already been scared when she tweeted Bruce, and now she was scared out of her wits when she heard Bruce bring up Old Mr. Grant.

Lindsey was no soft touch! She had wanted to test her mettle, but she’d gotten herself into trouble.

She felt bad that Lindsey had made her lose face last time, but then she thought that the vegetarian restaurant was owned by The Grant family, so there was nothing wrong with Lindsey giving her face.

It was her own fault for putting up a fight and inviting her to dinner on The Grant family’s turf.

The Grant family still owns the restaurant she is sitting in, and she did her friend a favour by telling Bruce to her face that she had humiliated her. It was a big deal when Bruce had hacked Edward.

If Lindsey had put up with it today, she would have gone back to Bruce to add more fuel to the fire, and Zhongxing’s small fortune would not have been enough for them to play.

With this in mind, Selena had no courage to be arrogant.

Her companions, after hearing Bruce’s tweets, had already scattered.

Selena hesitantly got up and walked over to them, bending down to pick up the membership card from the floor and handed it to Larissa politely. “Sorry, I missed it earlier.”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Lindsey hadn’t wanted to get into a feud with her, so she just took it in stride. “I hope Selena doesn’t mind that I sounded bad just now.”
