The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

Bruce is already a very good looking man and Aurora is also very good looking.

The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and the first-born son of one of the city’s top families, made them the centre of attention as soon as they appeared.

Unfortunately, the media was far less interested in the couple than the gossip on the scene.

Lindsey, once again pressed, raised an eyebrow and curled her lips frankly, explaining without skipping a beat, “Thank you all for your concern in the media, it was just a friend who joked around with me that day.”

It was just a friend … Bruce was standing not far from her, and his ears were sharp enough to catch the key word in her words.

The moment Aurora looked down, she accidentally caught a glimpse of his clenched fist, the blazing anger under her eyes flickered away, but the decent smile on her face never diminished.

She knew there was an auction today, so she had prepared an exceptionally valuable lot.

Lindsey, on the other hand, seemed to have nothing to show for it, except for that foxy face.

With a smug glance at Lindsey, Aurora naturally reached out her hand, only to find that Bruce was no longer with her.

Dropping her eyes, she took a deep breath of anger and rage and calmly followed in his footsteps.

Bruce sashayed up to Lindsey, his handsome face unmoving, and calmly held out his hand to her. “Long time no see.”

Her heart ached for a moment, but Lindsey quickly looked up, pretending to be calm, and extended her hand to shake his in a vague manner. “Welcome Mr. Grant to the launch of this charity fund.”

The tone was formulaic, even the smile on her face was just right, neither warm nor rusty.

The two people who had once been so close were now as rusty as strangers.

Bruce looked into those clear, crisp eyes and his heart ached beyond words.

He wished that he could stand by her side and witness the moment when she had achieved her wish.

But such a chance would never come again, and the man by her side was Edward!

“May your charity fund help more underprivileged children in the future.” Bruce added a little more force to his words, and a certain unseen heat welled up in his eyes.

“Thank you, Mr. Grant, for your kind words.” Lindsey gracefully withdrew her hand and turned her head to the reporters gathered around her, smiling slightly. “Some of my friends in the media asked me earlier what exactly my relationship with The Grant family was, and I’ll take this opportunity today to say it for the record.”

There was instant silence around the room as countless cameras were pointed at her and Bruce.

The atmosphere heated up again, with all sorts of questions filling the ears.

The smile on Lindsey’s face widened a little as she met Bruce’s sulking eyes and continued, “I’m just friends with Mr. Grant.”

As the words fell, a matching smile suddenly appeared on Bruce’s face and, as if to back up her words, he repeated, “We’re still friends.”

It was a perfect match, as if they had never been apart.

However, the journalists on the scene were disappointed and turned their cameras on Aurora, asking, in a fearful voice, “May I ask Mrs. Grant how you feel about your husband, who is still friends with his ex-girlfriend.”

Before Aurora could say anything, Bruce suddenly sank his face and quickly took the microphone from the reporter’s hand, correcting him in a clear voice: “That’s the wrong word, my friend.”

There was a moment of silence as the sudden change of heart brought the scene to a halt.

“Uh …” the journalist who had his microphone taken away from him was shocked by the powerful aura emanating from him and took a breath of cold air. “Also … expect Mr. Grant to be explicit.”

Other ears perked up, all curious as to what he would say.

You know, that gossip fest three years ago, although it was a long time ago, the seeds of curiosity are still buried deep in the hearts of media people.

Who wouldn’t be curious, especially with all three parties present, as to what Bruce would have to say.

“There is only one young lady of The Grant family, but it is not this Miss Aurora.” Bruce finished, casually returned the microphone and walked away without looking back.

Aurora lost face, but it was a good thing she had been used to dealing with the media since she was a child.

Just when everyone thought she was going to walk away, she took the microphone away from the reporter and smiled sweetly, “Thank you for your interest in us as a couple, my husband was just making a joke, I hope I didn’t scare anyone.”

She returned the microphone and lifted the skirt of her dress, walking down the aisle in style.

In between staggering past Lindsey, she paused briefly and mocked the tone. “Not up to snuff!”

“Yes, Miss Aurora is, but after three years and all that youth, Bruce still loves me.” Lindsey smiled wryly. “Grandpa is keeping his mouth shut so that The Palvin family can retain a shred of decency, and if you know what you’re doing, you should come forward and set the record straight, or I can’t guarantee that you’ll be humiliated.”

“Then you try.” Aurora’s face was crooked with anger.

Lindsey raised her eyebrows in triumph. “You didn’t win three years ago, and you’re even less likely to win me now.”

Aurora gritted her teeth, an impeccable smile on her face, and brushed herself off on the spot.

The image of the two of them talking with a smile on their faces drew a lot of attention and speculation.

Lindsey didn’t care; once she was gone, the media focus returned to the three men’s entanglement, asking the same gossipy questions.

Before, Lindsey would not have been able to cope. But in the past three years, she has developed an invulnerable body, so it is unlikely that she will be able to cope with just a few rumours.

Calming down, Lindsey put on a smile and tried to be as sincere as possible with these people.

Edward arrived late and Lindsey dealt with the reporters for a few moments before walking up the aisle with him.

Their intimacy was the main attraction, rather than the gossip that preceded it.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

The sound of the shutter quickly rang out and the limelight lit up everyone’s eyes.

“You’re upset?” Edward held her elegantly, a smile sinking into his eyes. “Irritated by the one from The Palvin family?”

“Not at all, I was just wondering what the big lady was going to put out to blacken me.” Lindsey curled her lip mischievously. “I’m not a nice person, I’ve been slapped and I’m going to return the favour, sooner or later.”

Edward was stunned, then shook his head in disbelief. “I’ll make sure that when she strikes, I’ll make sure that she, and The Palvin family, will suffer.”

“I’m relieved to have that from you.” Lindsey winked at him, smiling brightly as she let the press take pictures.

Edward’s smile was indulgent, but his heart was sour; what was Bruce doing at an event like this when he wasn’t back in the army?

After the red carpet session, the two talked all the way into the hotel and went straight to the ballroom.

The charity fund was set up with an unprecedented number of stars.

There were some of Wind Entertainment’s biggest stars, some of the top stars in the industry, and some of the fresher male stars and young stars who are on the rise.

However, the weight of these people was nothing compared to the other guests who really had status and position.

When they arrived at the guest area, they first nodded to Professor Lee and greeted him.

They then shook hands with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Culture, the Minister of Education, the President of the Red Cross, followed by Jesse, Professor Lee, and a few of the leading scholars of Chinese culture who had attended the exhibition.

In addition to these high-powered official figures, there were many wealthy businessmen and corporate elites active in City B. This shows the breadth of The Hawke family’s connections.

“How many more people do we have to meet? It’s so nice to get things done quietly, when you’re making it look like a smorgasbord.” Lindsey had a decent smile on her face and couldn’t stop grumbling under her breath.

“I didn’t invite those ministers.” Edward didn’t buy it. “It’s your face they’re looking at, and the face of Shen’s daughter.”

Lindsey slanted an eye breeze over, the corner of her eyebrow raised high. “Why do I hear a sour taste.”

“Sour …,” Edward rubbed his chin in an old-fashioned way, a smile melting under his eyes. “I begged these old men to come and they wouldn’t even meet me, and you did nothing but give Professor Lee a piece of writing and everyone came, it’s not fair.”

Lindsey couldn’t help but snort out a laugh. “Then you can’t ask me for fairness, who told you that your writing isn’t as good as mine and your face isn’t as good as mine.”

“Yes yes yes, one day I’ll hang my head over my shoulder and brush up on that skill.” Edward smiled and lowered his head, moving gently to help her fix her bangs. “It’s about to start, don’t be nervous.”

Lindsey gives him a blank look and moves on to the next person.

The intimacy between the two of them, as if no one was watching, caught Bruce’s eye, and the cold, frosty eyes added a bit of shade.

Aurora saw the same thing, Lindsey and Edward were making out like no one else was around, and it was obvious to anyone who was stupid that these two were in a relationship of some kind.

A snort of disdain escaped her nose, and it was a relief to see how Bruce looked like he was about to lose it.

So what if she loses, at least she’s sitting next to Bruce right now!

Lindsey, on the other hand, although she is very close to The Grant family, is still just a playwright.

Old Mr. Grant is a big fan of her, but he won’t let her take advantage of the Grant family’s name.

As long as she was a hard-ass, Old Mr. Grant would never do anything about it.

So Lindsey is a bit too young to fight her! Not to mention winning, she might not even have a place to cry when she loses.

Soon after, all the guests were seated and the event began.

The hosts of the event were all well-known hosts from B City TV.

“Now, let me introduce to you all the leaders and VIPs who are present at the event today.”

After a pause, the host slowly read out the name of the first guest. “The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Country H, Mr Carlos!”
