She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 377

No matter how spoiled a wealthy heiress was, she usually had some sense of propriety. Who on earth felt so entitled to just latch onto a man's wealth and bleed him dry without a second thought?

In the past, when the boss gave Jasmine gifts, she accepted them gracefully, but she would never outright demand them like a gold digger.

Wesley was thoroughly baffled. He simply couldn't comprehend how Lyra had the audacity to act like a bottomless pit, demanding every single item that caught her eye without so much as blinking.

And oddly enough, the boss seemed perfectly content to let her do it.

In just one high-end auction, Lyra effortlessly burned through millions of dollars of Rowan's money.

Later, Wesley vented to Andrea about the whole ordeal. "Miss Fairchild is unbelievably brazen. She doesn't hold back with Mr. Jameson at all. Her appetite is terrifying, and she doesn't know the meaning of restraint. I seriously thought she was possessed by a demon of greed."

Andrea stayed silent.

Wesley pressed her. "You follow her around all the time. Is she always this unhinged and inconsiderate?"

Andrea pursed her lips, unable to explain it herself, and simply shook her head.

Was Lyra spending like a maniac because she was strapped for cash?

But on second thought, that didn't make sense.

Lyra was a legitimate heiress. From what Andrea had observed, she was a low-maintenance young woman who barely even went shopping. She certainly wasn't the type to splurge on luxuries.

This sudden, reckless bidding war and frantic hoarding was entirely out of character. It didn't look like the behavior of someone who just wanted to enjoy the finer things or needed some pocket money.

From start to finish, he hadn't cared about the money, nor did he mind that she was secretly liquidating the assets. Rowan quietly rationalized it as compensation for the pain she had endured in the past.

Word soon reached the Ford family that Rowan had thrown down a fortune at an auction, acquiring a massive haul of priceless jewelry.

The entire family eagerly assumed that these luxurious treasures would be delivered straight to their home—and straight into Jasmine's hands.

But as the days ticked by, there was no sign of Rowan. Even Wesley hadn't so much as stepped foot near the Ford estate.

The family's high hopes slowly deflated. Taking Jasmine aside, they probed cautiously.

"Rowan bought so many rare jewels at the auction. We assumed he got them specially for you. Why hasn't Secretary Wade shown up after all these days?"
