“Even if I had mountains of gold, he’d burn through it all at this rate!”
As the future CEO and a stunning beauty, Phoebe had always been adored by her employees. Now that this scandal had surfaced, everyone naturally took her side.
The same colleagues who had been flattering me just minutes ago—only because I was her fiancé—were now staring at me with open contempt.
“Miss Wright, I bet he was pretending to be noble by not spending your money, just so you'd beg him to. That way, when things blew up, he’d have an excuse to turn around and play the victim.”
“Exactly! Classic manipulation!”
“I haven’t even spent five hundred thousand in the past three years. He burns through that in three days? And this is before marrying into wealth? If they’d really tied the knot, he’d have drained the entire family fortune!”
“Poor Miss Wright. What a gold-digging fiancé!”
“If you ask me, just call off the engagement already. These old-school arranged marriages are just outdated relics of feudal times.”
Phoebe’s assistant, Blake, gave me a disdainful glance before turning to her and shaking her arm as he tried to comfort her.
