Untamed Charming Wife

Kayla looked up and immediately felt her blood pressure rise.

Why was her luck so bad today? She had encountered Aria in the morning, and now Violet at lunchtime. At this rate, was she going to meet Sam in the evening?

After asking her question, Violet’s gaze shifted from Kayla to Oliver. Oliver was carefully preparing crab meat for Kayla, meticulously cutting open the crab and placing the meat onto her plate. Kayla, now accustomed to Oliver’s “service,” began enjoying the crab meat. She ate while Oliver dismantled the crab, the two working in perfect harmony, completely ignoring Violet.

Despite being ignored, Violet didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled softly and said, “I didn’t expect to see you here. How have you been?”

Kayla knew Violet wouldn’t give up easily and let out a cold laugh, “I’ll be better if I didn’t run into you all the time.”

Violet returned a smile, “I know you don’t like me, but I’ve always considered you part of my family.”

“Really?” Kayla handed another oyster to Oliver. “I want to eat this.”

Oliver rolled his eyes at her. Did she really think he was her servant? Despite his annoyance, Oliver still prepared the food for her.

“Of course. The Green family has only the four of us siblings. With such a big family fortune, we hope you can have a share too,” Violet continued in a gentle tone, her eyes genuinely focused on Kayla, while subtly glancing at Oliver.

“Is that so?” Kayla took the oyster and sipped her juice.

“Yes.” Violet kept going, “Not just me, our father often talks about you. He says he hasn’t seen you in many years and wants to take good care of you.”

“Really?” Kayla put down her juice and continued with her seafood feast.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“Yes, really.” Violet’s patience was wearing thin due to Kayla’s dismissive attitude.

Suppressing her anger, Violet maintained a smile, “You police officers don’t earn much, do you? I come here often but I’ve never seen you. How did you manage to come here today?”

She must have hooked up with Ethaniel; otherwise, she’d never set foot in such a place. But who was that child with her? He wore a Prospect School uniform, suggesting a distinguished background. But Violet had no time to ponder; she had to connect with Kayla to see Ethaniel today.

Kayla, now feeling harassed to the point of losing her appetite, looked at Violet’s poised demeanor and asked curiously, “Why are you here?”

“To have a meal, of course,” Violet answered matter-of-factly.

“Right, you’re here to eat. Do you think I’m here to sleep?” Kayla retorted, her tone mocking. “I earn my money honestly with my own hands, which is a lot cleaner than yours.”

This remark tore away Violet’s facade. “How clean can money earned by selling your body be?”

“What did you say?”

“You know exactly what I mean,” Violet snapped. “What do you think you are to Ethaniel? You’re just a novelty to him. Do you really think you can cling to him forever? A woman needs to have self-respect and dignity! When he’s done with you, he’ll throw you away like trash!”

“You-” Kayla was ready to teach this woman a lesson when Violet suddenly let out a scream.

A glass of ice water had been poured over Violet’s head, leaving her hair and clothes soaked. She turned around in fury, only to meet a pair of cold, purple eyes. Seeing who it was, her scream caught in her throat.

Ethaniel, lowering his lashes, twirled a glass in his slender fingers, his voice cold and elegant, “Whether she can keep me forever has nothing to do with you. Smart people don’t do foolish things. Don’t make me discipline you in public.”

“Mr. Han, this is a misunderstanding.” Violet didn’t dare wipe the water off her face and tried to maintain a gentle smile. “Kayla is my sister. I just want her to come home. My father has always wanted to make it up to her…”

“If he wants to make it up to her, tell Mr. Green he can transfer his shares to Kayla. I’ll manage them for her,” Ethaniel responded indifferently.

“I’ll discuss it with my father.” Violet wiped her face, trying to look as graceful as possible.

In terms of looks, she believed she was far superior to Kayla. There was no reason for Ethaniel to favor Kayla over her!

Ethaniel didn’t spare Violet another glance and sat down opposite Kayla, eyeing the heap of food Oliver had prepared for her. “Are you still going to eat this?”

Kayla had spilled some soup on her plate during the argument with Violet, making the food unappetizing. She wrinkled her nose in distaste. “No, I’m done.”

“Hmm, I’ll eat it then.” Ethaniel said, taking Kayla’s plate and using her utensils, began eating gracefully.

Kayla’s ears turned red as she whispered, “Don’t use my utensils. Don’t eat my leftovers either!”

Ethaniel swallowed his food, “No waste. The Lacroix family rule is not to waste even a crumb of bread.”

“… But don’t eat what I’ve left!”

Ethaniel gave her a faint look, “I’ve already tasted everything about you, why fuss?”

Kayla’s face burned, and she quickly glanced at Oliver beside her!

Oliver was engrossed in his meal, paying no attention to their conversation.

“…” Violet, standing nearby, was once again shocked. Did someone like Ethaniel really just say something so… flirtatious?

Ethaniel quickly and elegantly finished the remaining food and called for the bill.

Kayla glanced at Violet. Hadn’t she just insinuated that she could only afford to be here because of Ethaniel? She had never taken a penny from Ethaniel. Why should she tolerate such malicious assumptions? She decided to be generous for once and show Violet who was truly dependent on whom!

With that resolve, Kayla quickly said to Ethaniel, “Translate for me, I want to pay for this meal. Ask them how much.”

Ethaniel raised an eyebrow slightly, “Are you sure?”

“Sure!”

Kayla’s confidence stemmed from receiving two months’ salary as compensation from the chief for her departmental changes. With that money, she could certainly afford this meal.

Just as Kayla was feeling smug, Oliver tugged at her sleeve. She thought he was going to mock her again and raised an eyebrow, “I’m treating you to this meal, so stop insulting me.”

“…” Oliver really didn’t want to deal with her anymore!

“Alright, since you insist.” Ethaniel smiled and turned to speak to the server. The server smiled, handed Kayla the bill, and bowed to her.

Seeing the “1” followed by four “0s” on the screen, Kayla’s eyes widened!

For a moment, she heard her heart break.

Ethaniel leaned over and whispered in her ear, “It’s not in pounds, don’t worry.”

Ten thousand! She worked hard for two months and only earned nine thousand, not enough to cover this meal!

She had just eaten away two months’ salary…

“Pay the bill.” Ethaniel’s lips curved in a noticeable smile, “I’m waiting for you to treat me.”

“… I’m not avoiding payment!” To avoid embarrassment and save money, there was only one solution!
