Darling's Pure Love boasts of being a financial guru who studied abroad, standing in the stock trading hall and pontificating.
Seeing him confidently predict that a stock bound to fall is actually a hidden gem, causing uninformed people to buy it in droves.
I let out a cold laugh, advising him to be more careful with his words, lest those who lose money seek revenge.
Unexpectedly, Darling's Pure Love immediately erupted in a barrage of insults: "What would a trophy husband like you know? You're nothing but a dog kept by the Smith family. Go cool your heels somewhere else."
Darling shot me an impatient glance, warning me not to embarrass myself here.
To support Pure Love, she immediately bought $10 million worth of the stock he predicted as a hidden gem.
"Jason is a top talent in the financial world. His stock investments have never failed. Don't listen to the nonsense of a trophy husband."
Meeting Darling's disdainful gaze, I calmly bought shares in a different stock.
"Let's make a bet then. However many shares you buy, I'll buy the same amount. We'll see who makes money in the end."

Pure Love Is a Financial Guru

I originally didn't care much about saving face. Old Mr. Stratton had shown me great kindness and recognition, and Melody had a nice figure and looks, so I agreed.


I just didn't expect that my low-key approach would lead Melody to mistakenly think I was just a trophy husband living off others, to the point where she even publicly insulted me for the sake of other men.


Since she was being so ruthless, I saw no need to give her any face either.


I chuckled lightly, looking at Melody teasingly.


"Only $20 million? That's far too stingy. If we're going to bet, let's make it a big one - how about $100 million?"


As soon as I said this, everyone gasped in shock, utterly astonished.


"Invest how much?! $100 million?! Has he gone mad?!"


"Does he even know what stocks are to dare invest $100 million? What a wastrel!"


"Even if the Stratton family is wealthy, they can't let a trophy husband squander money like this! This trophy husband has thoroughly disgraced the Smith family."


The murmurs around us made Melody's expression turn very ugly. She lowered her voice and asked me:


"$100 million? Can you even produce that kind of money?""Talk big all you want, but don't blame me when you're begging the Smith family to bail you out!"


I laughed nonchalantly. "No need to worry about me. I can easily come up with that kind of money."


Not just a hundred million, I could effortlessly produce a billion if needed.


Over the years, I've made a fortune investing in stocks. It's no exaggeration to say that the entire Stratton Family Group's prosperity rests on my shoulders.


I still hold thirty percent of the Stratton Family Group's shares. If I wanted to, I could oust Melody as CEO in a heartbeat. I just don't care about such empty titles.


That's precisely why Old Mr. Stratton begged me to marry Melody.


"Fine, if you want to play, I'll play along. But let me make one thing clear: you're not allowed to use a single cent from the Smith family!"


As soon as Melody finished speaking, Jason eagerly fanned the flames.


"Let's do this your way. We'll make it a high-stakes bet. Whoever loses has to get down on all fours and bark like a dog. You game?"


"Alright, let's bet.Jason's face flashed with a hint of triumphant excitement when I agreed, as if he was certain I would lose.


"I'd like everyone here to witness this, so that certain people can't go back on their word later."


Meeting Jason's smug gaze, I inwardly sneered. What a dumb pig, digging his own grave.


After mocking me, Jason turned to Melody with a pitiful look.


"I'm sorry, I spoke without thinking earlier. If he really barks like a dog, won't that embarrass you?"


Melody's eyes were filled with tenderness when she looked at him, completely different from the coldness she showed me.


"This isn't your fault. You don't need to feel guilty. It's entirely his own fault for courting death."


After saying this, she turned to face the crowd.


"Everyone, I want to make it clear beforehand that regardless of whether this person imitates a pig or a dog, it's entirely his own personal behavior and has absolutely nothing to do with the Stratton Family Group!"


The people present weren't fools. They could naturally see that Melody and Jason had a close relationship.


Those who wanted to establish good relations with the Stratton Family Group began to shower Jason with flattery.
