Fighting Back, Protecting Your Wife & Sweet Pampering

The crowd was in a stir.

"Mr. Fernández really got a raw deal this time."

"This is the only offline store in the entire Westbrook city that collaborates with Alberto. It's long been rumored that the big boss of this store has a powerful and mysterious background!"

Aurora Morales heard this and looked up, her eyes falling on Ricardo Vargas' well - defined jawline. The next second, a slightly cool hand gently covered the top of her head. Ricardo Vargas deliberately lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear.

"What, feeling sorry for him?"

Aurora Morales curled her lips and looked at Javier Fernández with emotionless eyes. At this moment, Javier Fernández was fuming with anger because of the loss of two and a half million, but he had to endure it.

"I still think it's not enough." Did she look like someone who could be easily bullied?

Valentina Morales forced a smile and took the packaged jewelry from the clerk with a stiff face. Aurora Morales reached out to her, "My dear sister, thank you for the gift."

Valentina Morales looked embarrassed, with a hidden resentment in the depths of her eyes. She pretended to be generous and put the jewelry into Aurora Morales' hand, "Y - yes... yes. This was originally meant for sister. Now that the gift has been given, Javier, shall we... leave now?" Valentina Morales gently tugged at Javier Fernández's sleeve.

Javier Fernández, who was just looking for a way to get out of the awkward situation, took the opportunity and said, "Okay, it's getting late. I have a business cooperation to attend to later, so I won't stay here any longer." With that, the two immediately headed towards the door.

"Wait." Aurora Morales said unhurriedly. Valentina Morales' body stiffened instantly, "What else is there, sister?"

"When you entered the store, weren't you clamoring to pick a nice piece of jewelry to take back? How can you leave empty - handed?"

Valentina Morales forced a smile and shook her wrist, secretly showing off the bracelet Javier Fernández gave her, "I already have a bracelet."

"A bracelet alone is not enough. You should at least match it with a necklace." Aurora Morales stepped out of Ricardo Vargas' embrace, walked to the counter, scanned around, and asked the clerk to take out the most expensive necklace, "I think this one suits you very well."

The clerk was very perceptive and immediately chimed in, "This necklace really complements your skin tone! Your neck is so slender, and it will look extremely beautiful on you. Most importantly, this necklace is very versatile and can go with any dress."

If it weren't for Aurora Morales' calculations, Valentina Morales would surely have pestered Javier Fernández to buy this for her. But now... Valentina Morales glanced at Javier Fernández's displeased face and didn't dare to mention it.

"It's just so - so. I think this necklace is quite ordinary."

As soon as she said this, the expressions of many people changed immediately. Some even sneered, "Tsk, tsk. If you can't afford it, just say so. Why be so stubborn about saving face?" "Exactly. This is one of the pieces in Alberto's non - limited - edition works that has been restocked the most." "I still remember that the transaction volume exceeded one million pieces within the first hour of its launch!" "What poor taste..."

Valentina Morales didn't expect that the excuse she casually made would anger the crowd. She quickly took another look at the necklace in Aurora Morales' hand. No wonder it looked familiar. It was actually a work of Alberto! "No... that's not what I meant." Valentina Morales quickly explained.

Javier Fernández, standing aside, had a gloomy face. This ruthless woman, Aurora Morales, really didn't plan to let them go! Maybe all these things today were the traps she set! Valentina Morales explained for a long time, but no one really listened to what she said. She could only turn to Javier Fernández for help, looking at him with her tear - filled eyes, and called out plaintively, "Javier..."

Javier Fernández couldn't bear to see his beloved woman being wronged like this. He immediately shouted with bravado, "It's just a necklace! I can afford it! Swipe the card!" He picked up the card with his index and middle fingers and handed it over handsomely.

The clerk reached out with a smile to take it, but tugged twice without success. Javier Fernández's mouth twitched violently a few times, and then he loosened his grip a bit. It was just a necklace. How much could it cost?

The clerk quickly returned the card and added, "Sorry, sir, there isn't enough balance in your card." "What?!" Javier Fernández said in disbelief, "There are still five million in the card!" "The necklace you're buying is the last one in the entire Westbrook city, and Designer Alberto has stated that there will be no more restocking in the future, so the price is naturally higher."

Javier Fernández couldn't help but want to curse: This is no different from robbery! Valentina Morales, hearing the increasing number of mocking voices around her, couldn't help but remind, "Javier..."

Javier Fernández took a deep breath and took out another card from his wallet. After a successful payment, Javier Fernández's fingers were slightly trembling. He knew that it only cost him ten million to marry a wife, but now he had spent almost the same amount on a broken necklace. This money was spent so unjustly!

Watching the two leave in a sorry state, a smile spread across Aurora Morales' lips, and a flash of pride appeared in her almond - shaped eyes. Ricardo Vargas caught all her little expressions. He said to the manager, "Sort out all the jewelry in the store and send it over."

Aurora Morales looked up in surprise, "Ah?" Before she could ask, she was pulled away by Ricardo Vargas.

Back in the car, Aurora Morales said, "Thank you for coming to my rescue just now." Although she had planned to handle it herself, having someone to stand up for her felt pretty good.

"No one is allowed to bully my woman." Ricardo Vargas said indifferently. Aurora Morales' face turned red. She slightly lowered the car window, felt the blowing wind, and as the temperature dropped a bit, she looked at Ricardo Vargas' handsome face still covered by a mask, "It looks quite nice like this."

"Yeah."

"Um... but it seems that everyone regards you as my sugar daddy."

"Yeah."

Aurora Morales gently touched her nose, feeling that this man was really bad at keeping a conversation going.

Back home, the old lady asked in surprise, "Why are you back so soon?" Aurora Morales immediately stepped forward to help her sit down, "I've bought everything I needed. By the way, Grandma, this is a massager I brought back for you." "You're such a thoughtful girl... Not like my grandson. He doesn't think about this old woman at all." Aurora Morales looked at Ricardo Vargas innocently.

Ricardo Vargas said, "I'm going out again. You stay with Grandma."

"Okay."

Aurora Morales accompanied the old lady and chatted for several hours. During this time, many people carried boxes of things upstairs. Aurora Morales was a bit curious. What on earth was Ricardo Vargas doing? But when she went upstairs and returned to her room, she found that the originally empty cloakroom was stuffed full. There were all kinds of clothes, dresses, shoes for all seasons, as well as the latest bags and perfumes.

Even Aurora Morales, who had never been fond of luxury goods, couldn't help but exclaim, "A woman's... paradise?"
