The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 312

People often debated why the ultra-wealthy constantly jetted off to foreign resorts when the scenic views back home were just as stunning. Did the grass really look greener on the other side?

The real reason the elite loved escaping abroad was simple: freedom from the rigid social rules of home.

Back in the city, no matter how much money you had, scandalous behavior had to be kept strictly behind closed doors. Everything was heavily scrutinized.

But out here, international waters and private overseas estates offered a different kind of playground. Money bought absolute privacy and ultimate indulgence. You could hire the most elite, dedicated personal staff who prided themselves on invisible, flawless service.

You could throw the wildest parties, indulge in the most extravagant vices, and experience a level of unbridled freedom that was completely impossible under the watchful eyes of their local society.

In short, wealth in these foreign havens bought absolute privilege.

That was precisely why Zane brought Elara all the way out to The Swiss Alps—to experience a level of service and absolute privacy they could never find at home.

After landing, Zane wanted to prove he wasn't just entirely focused on getting her into bed, so he took Elara out to explore the snow-covered town until evening before returning to the resort.

The moment they stepped into the grand lobby, he caught sight of a silhouette rounding the corner that looked remarkably like Jocelyn Yale.

Zane's heart gave a sudden jolt. He mentally cursed himself for being paranoid, thinking he was seeing his ex-wife everywhere.

They were thousands of miles from the city; there was no way she would be here.

But then he remembered—wasn't there a major industry summit happening nearby this weekend?

"Are you even listening to me? What are you thinking about?" Elara asked, pulling him from his thoughts.

Zane snapped back to reality. "Sorry, what did you say?"

"I said, let's skip any plans for tonight. I'm a little tired."

Zane wrapped an arm around her waist, flashing a warm, indulgent smile. "Alright."
