Chapter 497
‘I’m planning to bring Lily over to buy her a present,’ he replied.
‘Fine, then I’ll go with you,’ Isabella invited herself and turned to me. ‘Lily, make sure you burn a hole in your husband’s wallet today!’ she said with a laugh, and I wondered if she was really serious because she wouldn’t be soft-hearted with him.
And so we went shopping together.
This time, Carson was much more generous with me. In addition to jewelry, he also bought me designer handbags, clothes and accessories.
Seeing how he didn’t even flinch when swiping the credit card, I was secretly amazed and thought he must have made a huge profit this time or else he would never have been so generous.
When we were tired from shopping, Carson offered to buy us lunch and we went to Eric’s western restaurant. Surprisingly, while we were ordering our food, we saw Jolene along with Richard.
Judging by the way they came out, it was clear as day that their relationship was no longer ordinary.
So it was true that birds of the same feather flew together. Since Richard wasn’t a good man, it became natural for a bitch like Jolene to conspire with him. On the other hand, when Carson saw Jolene, he instinctively ducked his head and took a drink of water, pretending he hadn’t seen her.
However, Isabella wasn’t the type of person who could live a day without causing drama. Then she raised her voice and said to Richard in a loud voice, ‘Young Master Tyson, why don’t you join us for lunch? President Boyer will pay the bill today.
My brows furrowed at the sight of Richard, and I kept my fingers crossed that he’d reject her idea. Instead, he didn’t reject her and walked over to us. The smile on Jolene’s face was exceptionally friendly when she saw me. ‘Lily, when did you get back?’
‘Just yesterday.’
Smiling at Carson, she asked, ‘Aren’t you usually very busy, Carson? Did you really make time for Lily today?
‘Of course he has to! After making a profit, he has to share it with his wife, whatever the cost!’ Isabella answered for her. ‘President Boyer spent a lot of money today and bought Lily a lot of things.’
‘A lot of money? It is his duty to buy gifts for his wife! Ricardo intervened. ‘If I have such a beautiful wife, I’ll even get the stars from the sky for her!’
‘Looks like you’re going to be a loving husband, young master Tyson. I wonder who would be lucky enough to be your wife,’ I said sarcastically, silently cursing this hypocrite.
Looking at me, he smiled slightly. ‘Miss Hawkins, no, it should be Mrs. Boyer. Is this trip abroad fun?
‘Fun? It’s all for work.
‘Really? Why didn’t you enjoy yourself, since it’s such a rare opportunity? That’s right, I heard you went to analyze the garden of heaven. Why didn’t you take a trip to Heidelberg on the way? And Lüneberg Heath is fun too, with its unique scenery, as is Hamburg’, he asked, flashing me a sly smile.
Unsure if I was the one overthinking it, he mentioned all the places I’d visited with Eric, and my gut feeling told me he was trying to warn me with those words. Despite that, he was unlikely to find out what was going on between Eric and me.
Fortunately, Isabella cut the conversation short, interrupting timely: ‘Let’s stop this and order a drink. What should it be? The 1982
Lafite?
It showed just how ruthless Isabella could be as she unceremoniously suggested a Lafite 1982. Glancing over at Carson, I

saw that he didn’t seem the least bit bothered.
Soon our food was served and as we were happily eating my cell phone rang and it was Eric who was calling. ‘I’ll take a call. Enjoy the meal, people.
Going to a corner with no one around, I answered his call and his cold voice said, ‘How’s Western cuisine? Did you forget everything I said?
