The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

The sun was setting and the outline of the white walls and green trees of Fragrant Garden were blurred and silent in the golden afterglow.

Lindsey got out of the car with Edward when another call suddenly came in on her phone, she smiled and took a few steps away, flicking open the answer button. “Hello, this is Lindsey.”

There was silence in her ears, and the sound of the breeze rustling through the treetops was faintly audible on the other end of the line.

Lindsey listened for a few seconds and spoke heartily, “Bruce, do you need something.”

“Lindsey …” Bruce exhaled softly and said quickly, “When I get back to marry you, if I don’t make it back, don’t come looking for me.”

The headless words lifted Lindsey’s whole heart. “I live, you don’t die, you hear me!”

Silence fell over her ears again, and after about a few seconds the call ended.

Lindsey put the phone away and met Edward’s suspicious gaze, faintly pulling her lips away to squeeze out a smile. “It’s Bruce.”

An I-knew-it look appeared on Edward’s face as he walked her to Fredy’s door in silence. “I won’t be going in, his old man didn’t invite me.”

“Fine.” Lindsey waved at him, followed Fredy’s assistant and lifted her feet into the courtyard.

The courtyard alone was different from ordinary homes, with a few flowers and paths that were both vulgar and elegant, but also interesting in their own way.

After walking through the courtyard and into the living room, Lindsey politely said hello and graciously walked over to Fredy and sat down.

“Lindsey, let me introduce you to my son, Fisher,” Fredy said with a smile on his lips as he took a sip of tea from the table. “Fisher, this is the Lindsey I was telling you about.”

“Hello Professor Fredy.” Lindsey stood up and bowed slightly towards Fisher, a bemused smile on her face as she slowly sat down.

Fisher was a professor at the Conservatory of Music and an accomplished conductor, well-mannered, refined and suave.

He looked at Lindsey with a smile and said, “Miss Lindsey, it’s a pleasure to meet you, my father often complimented you.”

“Professor Fredy is very flattering.” Lindsey’s head pounded slightly, confused as to what he meant by that statement.

“Fisher, you get Elise over here.” Fredy smiled broadly and turned his head sideways to Lindsey, “I told them that you looked familiar at first sight and they didn’t believe me.”

“Fredy, you are so funny.” Lindsey was on edge, thinking that she must have been asked to come over for more than just a look.

Fredy waved his hand, casually picking up the photo beside him and calmly handing it over. “Look at the person in the picture, doesn’t he look like you.”

Lindsey took it suspiciously and looked down closely at the people in the black and white photo. A very young couple, holding a child of about a year old in their arms, with a young boy with a clear face standing at the side.

Looking at it, she respectfully returned the photo, shaking her head and smiling, “I can’t tell, and it doesn’t look much to me.”

“That’s my brother’s family.” Fredy let out a long breath. “It’s been almost 70 years since they were separated.”

Lindsey sniffed, and the cloud of doubt in her mind grew even larger.

Fredy couldn’t really think that Grandpa was his lost brother, could he? Thinking of this, she immediately took out her phone and flipped out her grandfather’s photo, saying uncomfortably, “Fredy, this is a photo of my grandfather when he was alive, take a look.”

Fredy’s heart stuttered when she heard that there was a photo, and she trembled as she picked up the old-fashioned glasses that were sitting by her hand.

The picture taken on the phone was crystal clear and Fredy’s expression changed from surprise to disappointment to bewilderment in a heartbeat.

Just when Lindsey thought he really knew her grandfather, she heard him say, “It’s not my brother, I’m sure of it.”

“We’ll find him later, Fredy. Don’t get too hung up.” Lindsey smiled a reassuring smile and at the same time was completely relieved.

She had grown up living in Chamomile, and had never heard her grandfather mention, any stories about himself. So there were never any illusions that she could possibly, in fact, be the daughter of some high-flying family.

As they were talking, Fisher joined his sister Elise in the living room, and Lindsey stayed with them for a while to chat, then left after dinner.

As soon as she left, Fredy’s expression became very emotional. “Lindsey, the boy, could really be one of us, The Bosh family!”

Both the Fisher siblings shook at the same time and looked at their father incredulously.

Fredy caught his breath, as if he hadn’t recovered from his excitement. “Her grandfather looked a lot like your uncle’s guard, except the guard’s last name wasn’t Heard, so I’m not sure.”

“Should we get some help to check.” Fisher had a pleased look on his face. “Or get a DNA test done.”

Fredy waved his hand and got up to pace to the window, staring out at the potted vignette in the yard.

This was about The Palvin family, after all, and if it was proved that Lindsey was the granddaughter of The Bosh family, there would be no way to hide those old stories.

The Bosh family had been out of politics for years, and they were even less familiar with the military, so the consequences of opening a can of worms could be huge.

After a long pause, he lowered his eyes and sighed quietly. “Fisher, you arrange for me to call on Old Mr. Grant tomorrow.”

“Yes father.” Fisher answered, while exchanging puzzled, worried glances with his sister.

Lindsey’s eyebrows did bear a slight resemblance to her aunt’s, both stunningly beautiful, even her temperament.

But if she was really her cousin’s child, Old Mr. Grant would not have allowed The Palvin family to retain any of its glory once her origins were revealed.

The Bosh family was withdrawn from politics and the military, while the Palvin family was stabilised in the military.

If Aurora hadn’t offended Old Mr. Grant three years ago, the Palvin family would probably be even further ahead today.

He doesn’t need to see how the Lindsey boy is, but Old Mr. Grant’s attitude says it all.

So if this matter is to be investigated, nothing must be revealed, otherwise Lindsey will be harmed.

—

The first news of Lindsey’s visit to Fragrant Garden is brought to Aurora’s attention and her face is once again clouded with gloom.

Why can’t Old Mr. Grant see her for the fox she is, when she is following Edward and pestering Bruce?

Furious, Aurora kicked the coffee table and got up to pace in annoyance, covering her sore face.

Selena, startled by her grimace, glanced nervously at the closed door and gestured for her to keep her voice down.

“The Grant family won’t agree to come forward to claim the forty million dollars that I spent.” Aurora realised she had lost too much control and sat back in her recliner indignantly. “Selena, help me figure out how to smooth this over.”

Selena looked down in thought for a moment and suggested with embarrassment. “It just so happens that our family, the economic company, has a few letters of intent for endorsement partnerships with big names in hand, so you’re not done for next.”

“It’s not a good idea to show your face like that.” Aurora was unsure, she hadn’t expected the news to be so big.

Selena shrugged her shoulders and sighed helplessly. “If you don’t agree, there’s nothing else I can do. Besides, you’re already throwing your weight around now that you’re more well-known than a first-rate star.”

Aurora’s face sank and she nodded her head with difficulty.

Selena saw her agree and immediately picked up her phone to call her assistant.

A few moments into the conversation, her face grew hard and she unconsciously drew up her voice. “Have you confirmed that the new spokesperson chosen by the other party is really Lindsey?”

The assistant said something on the other end of the line and Selena’s brow furrowed deeply as she hung up the phone, explaining the situation at hand as nicely as she could.

Hearing the word Lindsey tickled Aurora’s hatred all over again.

When she found out that she had taken on several big name endorsements at once, she wanted to kill her immediately.

Selena was also very angry, but not as much as Aurora, and it only took a moment to dissipate.

She had no right to be angry.

The Grant family basically represents the top international brands in China.

Now that Lindsey has taken on the endorsement, who’s to say that it’s not Charlotte or Bruce, who are doing it on purpose.

After a long silence, Selena was worried that Aurora would lose her mind again and came up with a compromise. “Tell you what, I have a small company under my name, so I’ll get you a shareholder status when the time comes, and we’ll get this $40 million thing evened out first.”

“Hmm.” Aurora nodded indifferently, her mind racing with thoughts of how to put a foot down on Lindsey.

As her mind wandered, she thought of the forty million dollars she had spent, and a thought struck her.

Getting up and going to her desk, she smiled sinisterly as she brought back the information she had brought back from yesterday’s launch party. “Lindsey wants to be a good person, so I’ll let her die wherever she made a splash.”

“Did you think of something?” Selena looked at her in surprise, concern welling up in her eyes. “Tell me about it.”

She really couldn’t continue to hang out with Aurora in case she stirred up another big mess, and her in-laws’ grandfather was determined not to help.

Cousin Randy was even less likely.

“As I remember telling you last time, she has basically nothing on her, and it’s really harder to screw her without breaking the law.” Aurora grunted and said faintly, “But you and I both know how murky the waters of charity are …”

Selena pondered for a second, and then it dawned on her. “Supposedly half a billion dollars was raised last night for charity, which is the most screwed up ever.”

Aurora threw her a ‘smart’ look and smiled comfortably. “I’ll see how she gets up after this dirty pot of water is thrown down.”

“Care to reconsider?” Selena had a hunch she was crazy.

Lindsey had been able to raise so much money, with Jesse and Bruce behind her, in addition to Edward.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Jesse may be married, but if she asked, The Gomez familyOld Mr. Grant would probably be golden.

Three years ago, Professor Lee gathered a group of friends to play chess at the Gomez, and after Aurora left that day, there was a small incident.

After Aurora had left that day, a little funny thing happened. The group bet on what words Lindsey would write.

The only one who won was The Gomez familyOld Mr. Grant!

It was something she still heard from her in-laws’ grandfather, who sounded envious.

Mind you, Lindsey had not only managed to control his stubborn illness, she had also found him a chess partner who was a great player.

If he had known that Lindsey was being slandered, he would have waited for Old Mr. Grant to do something about it.

At a time like this, she was so reflective that to try to clean up after Lindsey through this was not madness!

“There’s nothing to think about.” Aurora’s face was grim. “You help me with this, I’ll take the blame if something goes wrong, and I’ll never drag you into it.”

Selena knew her mind was made up and could only grit her teeth and agree.
