Chapter 27: Ch. 27 Richard’s Wealth
It didn’t take long for Anxia to come out wearing her chosen clothes. Anxia wore a red off-shoulder dress. It was not knee length, but not too short, either. The highly bright red color of her dress contrasted perfectly with the woman’s skin, which was white like a newborn’s skin. Not to mention the jet black hair that fell disheveled made her look sexy.
Ugh! Richard felt the area under his abdomen tighten at the woman’s appearance.
“Try another one,” suggested Richard with a flat expression, making it hard to see what was in his mind.
Anxia tried on clothes after clothes of her choice, holding back her annoyance. She showed her new appearance to the man.
This annoying man kept telling him to change clothes as if nothing could satisfy him. Aria lost count of how many times she had to change dresses because Richard kept giving her new ones.
Most of the garments that Richard chose were her favorite style, lessening her irritation. At least the man had a pretty good sense of fashion.
“I don’t want to try it again. I’m tired,” remarked Anxia as her patience almost hit the line.
.....
“Oh? I thought you would never say it.”
Anxia’s eyebrows rose when she heard that. Was it possible that the man had been waiting for her to stop fitting this dress?
“Okay. Wrap all the clothes she tries on.” Richard casually said to the boutique waiter as if he had just shopped at the supermarket, making Anxia’s eyes widen.
Richard would buy all the clothes she had tried on?! Earlier, Richard showed no interest in those dresses, but now... why is the man buying all of them?
And again, how many clothes had she tried on? More precisely... how many hundred thousand euros did Richard buy in total?
“One more thing, this is for you.”
Anxia received a brand new smartphone that was light in weight but quite long, exceeding the length of her palm.
“What’s this?”
“Phone, of course. It will make it easier for me to contact you.”
“Let me guess. Signal transmitters, tracking devices, and also eavesdropping devices are here.” Anxia waved her phone carelessly as if the fantastically valuable luxury phone meant nothing at all.
For Anxia, ??no matter how expensive or luxurious her phone was, she would throw it away without a second thought when she found out that there was an eavesdropper or tracking device on her phone.
“You think I would be stupid to let you go like that? Of course, I have no intention of making you run away from me.”
Anxia snorted hearing that. Let the man who is now her husband monitor her movements. After all, once she found a way to take her daughter away, she would throw this phone away.
“You will regret it if you throw it away. I’m sure you’d even wish you’d never throw it away.”
Anxia’s brows furrowed in displeasure at the warning tone of the man in front of her. She remembered Richard had given the same warning tone four years ago, but she paid no heed. It wasn’t until the following day that she genuinely regretted it and wished she could reverse time.
At that time, Anxia indeed regretted her actions of trapping a man without confirming the identity of the target first, but for this phone... what could make her regret having thrown it away?
Because the price of this smartphone is super high? Even if she could sell it, she was sure the price would drop drastically, and she wouldn’t get the price it used to be.
Anxia had no idea what could make her regret throwing away this luxury-looking phone. If Richard were just an ordinary person, Anxia would not overthink it and consider Richard’s words just a bluff.
But she had already learned from her mistakes in the past. Richard was not an ordinary guy, and every word had a real meaning.
“What would I regret?” Anxia didn’t want to guess and chose to ask directly.
Richard smiled as he answered, “You’ll find out in a minute.”
“Sir, it’s one hundred and seventy-five thousand euros.”
Anxia’s eyes almost jumped from their place when she heard the nominal. One hundred and seventy-something thousand euros!? How many clothes did Richard buy? And again, she was pretty sure the price of a car in this Holland would not be worth the cost of the clothes Richard bought!
“Hmm. Xia Xia, what are you doing? Hurry up and pay for the clothes.”
Anxia stared fiercely at Richard. Shameless man! How could the man make her pay for clothes she never asked for?
Richard couldn’t hold back his laughter when he saw his wife glaring at him fiercely like a lioness ready to pounce on her prey. His wife is indeed very unique and different from other women.
With great patience, Richard took back the phone he had just given to Anxia. Then he opened an app to show Anxia.
Anxia’s eyes widened at the screen of her new phone. She was even more shocked when Richard put the phone back in her hand and repeated his words. “Quickly pay for the clothes.”
Anxia gawked and couldn’t take her eyes off her new phone, which had an E-money.
Anxia also saw that her phone had more than one application because each had a different currency. And some used the euro currency, and there was also a dollar. And all the denominations she saw had extraordinarily many zeros behind them.
GOOD GRIEF!!! Did this mean she would regret it once she threw away her phone? Throwing away this phone was the same as throwing away her wealth!
Anxia looked at Richard with an indescribable look. She didn’t even know if she was excited or afraid to be this man’s wife.
Richard smiled, amused at his wife’s adorable, who was s reaction.
“Didn’t I tell you? Marrying me is a terrific offer for you.”
Anxia wondered, was this man trying to hook her up with the man’s treasure? Is this man trying to ensnare her with the man’s wealth? Because if so, then the man succeeded!
Anxia became less interested in running away and felt she would like her status as Richard Calvin’s wife.
Without realizing it, Richard managed to change his wife’s paradigm little by little and then persuaded her to get out of her dark profession.
It was just that, for now, Anxia’s thoughts were still very far from what Richard was aiming for. Instead of wanting to stay as Richard’s wife, on the contrary, she tried to get rid of him so that she could take over all of her husband’s wealth.
Richard Calvin, be careful. Your currently docile-looking wife will attack you as soon as you let your guard down.
