“Why didn’t you discuss it with me?”
James sat on the couch after he entered the house.
Thea had a cold expression on her face. She scolded, “Is this why you were so confident? You claimed that I would definitely be among the top hundred. Buying my way into it was your solution?”
“Hehe.”
James just chuckled.
Thea was furious, yet James was laughing. She almost tore her hair out.
“Tell me honestly. How much money did you spend?”
“Not much.” James did not know at all. Scarlett took care of it. Looking at Thea’s expression, he knew that she was really, really angry.
He tried to explain, “Darling, all I wanted was to make you happy and allow you your moment in the spotlight. How would I know that people would figure it out so easily? They’re too smart nowadays, hehe…”
“How much money did you spend?”
It was all Thea cared about right now.
Their family was on its last leg now. One could even say that they had no money left. To live required funds, but James was throwing it all away.
“James, how much money do you actually have? What else are you hiding from me? When we bought Pacific over, your card had no more credit, yet you could still produce three million dollars. Now, you’re spending so much money on buying me my rank. You’d better come clean, otherwise I… I’ll divorce you.”
Thea was really angry.
James panicked upon hearing that.
He walked up to her and nudged her gently with his shoulder.
“Come on, calm down. All I wanted was to make you happy. I did spend some money, but you’re everything to me. Who cares about money if you’re happy?”
All women liked to hear sweet nothings.
Thea was no exception.
She calmed down a little after what James said.
She put on a stony expression and asked, “Where did the money come from?”
“I-I borrowed it.”
