The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

The next day was a good day, Lindsey woke up, got up, washed up, went downstairs for a few laps, had breakfast and then took the bus to the School of Fine Arts.

Thanks to the special permission of Professor Lee and the university, she was able to complete her Master’s degree and receive her diploma during her three years in Africa.

When she arrived at Professor Lee’s office, Lindsey sat down politely and talked to him about Fredy’s visit to her.

Professor Lee was curious, but after hearing her say that Fredy didn’t know Old Mr. Heard, he dropped the subject and discussed her work.

Lindsey knew that Professor Lee wanted to keep her at the American Academy, but declined his offer. “I haven’t thought about what I want to do yet, my current focus is on getting the charity fund up and running and sort of fulfilling one of my grandfather’s wishes when he was alive.”

“Well, feel free to do whatever you want to do. There’s a much bigger picture to what you’re doing now than the legacy of art.” Professor Lee stood up with a smile and pulled out her degree certificate, plus an assignment – writing.

Lindsey’s mouth dropped a little in shock when she heard that it was those masters of Chinese studies who had asked for it.

After leaving the Academy and returning to Larissa’s flat, she hadn’t even eaten a bite when she received a call from Edward asking her to go and meet with the brand’s publicist and sign the agency contract.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Lindsey hurriedly packed up and went downstairs to her car.

When she arrived, Edward had already ordered his coffee and snacks and was chatting with a stylishly dressed man.

The man was in his mid-thirties, blond and blue-eyed, with a handsome face.

“Hi.” Lindsey greeted with a smile, pulling out the chair next to Edward and sitting down.

“Hi.” Edward smiled back and introduced her solemnly, “This is Mr Laurent Ferdinand, President of Patek Philippe Asia.”

“How do you do.” Lindsey rose gracefully and politely extended her right hand. “I’m Lindsey and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to work with your company.”

Laurent also stood up as a gentleman and shook her hand warmly.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lindsey looked at the contract, then dropped her eyes to the atomic watch on her wrist and gave Edward a silent wink.

If it was a clothing or handbag brand, she might have agreed without hesitation, but not a watch.

Although the endorsement contract did not require her to wear the brand’s watch on any occasion, Lindsey did not want to take the watch off her wrist.

Edward only knew that the watch had been with Lindsey for a long time, but did not realise that there was another dimension to the watch, that it was the only gift Lindsey had ever given Bruce.

The conversation stalled, and just as Edward was thinking of ways to lighten the mood, Aurora’s guttural laugh came from behind him. “Edward is really fast, just yesterday we finalised the partnership and today we’re signing.”

Edward slowly glanced sideways and smiled back. “What, Miss Aurora has a problem with that?”

“I wouldn’t dare. …” Aurora snorted softly and wandered gracefully over to Laurent, extending her hand warmly. “Hi, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

Laurent got up and shook her hand politely, asking rhetorically, confused, “May I ask if this young lady is? Although you look familiar, I’m sorry, I don’t think I know you.”

Aurora made a big joke of herself, blushing from red to white and back again.

After introducing herself, she gave Lindsey an indignant glance and walked calmly to her reserved seat.

Lindsey couldn’t help but laugh at the look on her face, but managed to keep her expression in check.

As the conversation continued, Laurent was understanding of Lindsey’s reluctance to endorse, but was also interested in the watch she was holding.

Lindsey graciously took it off for him to take and study, but as he fiddled with it, he accidentally touched the rope button at the bottom and was about to injure a bystander when, in the nick of time, Lindsey quickly leapt up and grabbed back the rope that had shot halfway out.

“…” Laurent’s mouth dropped open for a long moment before he could squeeze out two words. “Awesome!”

“It’s just a normal configuration and a military product that’s been phased out, for your amusement.” Lindsey retrieved her own watch and put it on, curling her arm to bump Edward, who was also dumbfounded, next to her. “Wake up.”

“Uh … where did this come from.” Edward asked in a daze, his thoughts coming back to him and instantly regretting asking the question.

Since it was a military product, it didn’t take much to figure out where it came from, no wonder she was so precious.

“From Mack.” Lindsey had no intention of hiding anything. “If you like it, ask him to get you a piece when you next see him.”

“Good …” Edward nodded happily and followed, turning his attention to Laurent. “You see?”

Laurent smiled away as a gentleman. “Personally, I respect Miss Lindsey’s decision.”

Edward smiled as if relieved. “I hope there will be another opportunity to work together next time.”

Laurent said politely, “There will definitely be.”

From the cafe, Lindsey was so hungry that she simply left Edward and went to a nearby restaurant to forage for food on her own.

She was in such a hurry that she didn’t notice the two sneaky men behind her.

The afternoon sun was shining and the only restaurant in the area around Wind Entertainment that Lindsey thought was any good was the Cantonese cassoulet, but it was a little far away.

Walking a short distance ahead, Lindsey decided between avoiding the heat and satisfying her appetite, choosing the latter.

After walking on for about ten metres, she turned into the alleyway on her left and called for an early order.

It was close to four in the afternoon and the alleyway was sparsely populated with pedestrians, the sun hitting the ground and the heat rolling in.

Lindsey finishes her order when she feels a strong breeze blowing hard past her ears.

She cried out in disbelief and quickly dodged the attack.

She was not slow in dodging, but was still hit in the shoulder by the bat.

Lindsey’s nerves tensed as the stinging sensation hit her, and she struck back with a vengeance.

Her opponent was no match for her, but she had taken advantage of a sneak attack, which she would not have cared for in the past, but the injury to her shoulder had slowed her down a little.

After a few strokes, the two fighters who had succeeded in sneaking up on her were still cowering on the ground with twisted faces, wailing.

“I’ve never been one to cause trouble, and I won’t ask why you’re here today, but it’ll be hard to get back.” Lindsey dropped his words and, ignoring the shouts of the onlookers, one of them kicked the two men unconscious, followed by picking up his mobile phone and calling the police.

The police were quick to respond, Lindsey got into the police car with a cold face, thinking that she hadn’t eaten yet, so she had to call Edward and ask him to arrange for his assistant to go to Yue Xiang Cassoulet and deliver the meal she had ordered to the police station.

“Are you all right?” Edward stood up from his chair in shock, “I’ll be right over.”

“What can happen to me.” Lindsey didn’t want him to know she was hurt and pulled away on a cloud. “You’re busy with work, just have your assistant come.”

Edward did have important things to attend to and was relieved to hear her say so.

Lindsey hung up the phone, thinking that if she had known this would happen, she should never have beaten Hector out of the way in the first place.

Unfortunately, the regret was short-lived and soon subsided.

It was not the same as it had been in the past, and it was not a good idea for her to hide under Bruce’s protection all the time.

The car entered the police station, Lindsey was by now white with pain, her back was sweaty and her clothes were soaked through.

After entering the reception room and explaining the reason for calling the police, Lindsey was asked to go to the questioning room. Edward’s assistant arrived just in time, so she took the lunchbox from him, tried to look as if nothing was wrong, and ate.

After she finished her statement, Lindsey called Jimmy and asked Edward’s assistant to take her to the hospital, pretending she was fine.

“Miss Lindsey, are you sure you’re all right? I see you’ve been sweating.” The assistant looked at her uneasily.

If something were to happen to her, Edward would definitely pick his skin.

“It’s fine, I haven’t been to see my brother this time back, and it just so happens that he’s on duty at night.” Lindsey explained something on a cloud, trying desperately to stay awake and not let herself show.

Whoever had sent her, she really couldn’t hide behind Bruce forever. She wanted to go on with him and could only make herself stronger, become so that the onlookers had nothing to say and no opportunity to take advantage of her.

“You don’t want to lie.” The assistant started the car, unease still gathering in her brow. “Edward would destroy me if he knew.”

“Don’t worry, he won’t dare touch you, just say I said so.” Lindsey joked taking

The injury was where it had been three years ago, and the pain was extraordinarily intense, sitting motionless as cold sweat cascaded out.

I don’t know how many times the clothes on my back got wet. When I got down from the car, I saw Jimmy waiting at the door and couldn’t help but feel a warmth in my heart.

The assistant didn’t rush off until she was sure she was really okay, then she turned the car around and drove away smoothly.

As the car walked away, Lindsey’s fingertips chilled as she gripped Jimmy’s arm, her body sliding down softly. “Brother …”

“Lindsey!” panicked Jimmy, instantly ducking down and carrying her into the building.

Lindsey was already in too much pain to speak, and when she flopped onto the bed in the treatment room, she closed her eyes in distress.

“We need to get a radiograph, in case we hurt a bone, it’s for life.” Jimmy said, taking out his mobile phone and calling the radiology department, followed by going out to bring a wheelchair and carefully helping her to sit on it.

“Please.” Lindsey closed her eyes breathlessly, her voice wavering.

Jimmy was so angry and distressed that he wanted to grab Bruce and beat him up.

After taking the film and making sure the bones were okay, Jimmy had just wheeled her out of radiology when he saw Bruce walking towards them with a cold face and a sullen gait.

Lindsey’s eyes were closed, and when she felt something wrong around her, she opened them to meet Bruce’s deep, heartfelt eyes.
