The man’s gaze shifted toward her, and he smirked ever so slightly.
“No way your fake husband is more handsome than Mr. Lippert!”
Whitney sized up the rival’s tall frame. She had not seen L in the flesh but mused, “They seem to be about the same height.”
“Same height and you dare to say equally handsome?” Tiana rolled her eyes.

“L!” She called again, testing.
Still, the man gave no indication of hearing her.
Watching the elevator ascend, Whitney sighed and slapped her forehead. The rival had no reaction to ‘L‘ so they could not be the same person, could they?

Whitney did not want to admit she had, for a moment, suspected her rival was her ‘fake husband.

“Mr. Lippert’s collection is nothing less than extraordinary!” Tiana pointed out, revealing the truth. “He’s a jewelry tycoon, and you’re just bitter!”
With a clenched jaw, Whitney retorted, “I may not be at his level now, but once I rise again, I’ll definitely take
him down!”
The man who had left the elevator observed the fiery little woman from a second–floor window, smirking at her
bold claim.
Take him down? His lips curled with a wicked edge. How did she plan to do that?
His assistant could not help but chuckle. Ms. Valentine saying she would take down the CEO‘–he was sure his boss would be delighted.
Downstairs.
“Alright, let’s hit the shops. Do you need to check in?” Tiana reminded.
