Chapter 72: Infatuated With Him
"Two hundred million?" Avery fumes, "How generous of Evan to give Leonie a ring worth two hundred million. Meanwhile, he's too stingy with me to even give me a credit card PIN."
Avery narrows her eyes beneath her sunglasses. She has no choice but to return home. She locks herself in her room and tries to devise another way to get the money. Instead, she finds herself browsing the internet.
She stares at the pictures of Leonie at the press conference, wearing the same ring that Evan holds in the picture at the auction. Disgustedly, she closes the browser and opens her email.
She types, "Miss Summers, I keep wondering if you've received my email yet. Please contact me as soon as you can. Best wishes, Avery Howel."
Avery hears one of the maids greet her husband from outside her door and she steels herself for a confrontation with Evan.
"Where is Mrs. Howel?" asks Robert's voice.
"She's been in her room all afternoon," the maid answers.
