Camila happily swiped her card and said, "Please enter your PIN!"
Leroy Morse coldly instructed Fanny Ives, "Enter the PIN."
Fanny Ives replied, "I don’t know the PIN."
"Your card uses your birthday as the PIN," Leroy shot a glance at her. "Don’t know it?"
Using her birthday?
A global unlimited black card was linked to this woman, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere?
Eleanor Barrett glared at Fanny Ives with jealousy, nearly grinding her teeth in frustration!
Fanny's heart raced, her emotions a whirlwind as she pressed the numbers for the PIN.
Transaction successful!
Camila beamed with delight, saying, "I’ll wrap it up for you right away!"
"No rush," Leroy turned back to Fanny Ives and casually asked, "Do you like anything else?"
Fanny shook her head, "Nothing else catches my eye."
Just as the words left her mouth, a group of over ten muscular men in black entered the store.
"Hmm," Leroy nodded, glancing at his arriving subordinates, and casually said, "Then let’s smash it. Let your boss come find the finance department for compensation."
Camila's smile froze, and the other salespeople were startled, quickly saying, "Please, don’t joke around!"
Leroy Morse scoffed, wrapping his arm around Fanny Ives and preparing to leave.
Fanny was startled and quickly grabbed his arm, saying, "Don't be impulsive! This place is really expensive..."
How much would it cost to wreck this place?
Eleanor Barrett hurriedly chimed in, "Sixth Brother, calm down. Is it really worth spending so much
money over a woman?"
Leroy shot Eleanor a cold glance. "My woman was bullied outside, and that reflects poorly on me. Spending this money is just a warning to everyone, so no one dares to pull such stunts again."
Fanny's heart raced as she felt the envious and jealous gazes around her. She tried to maintain her composure, clutching her clothes tightly.
In her past life, her entire being was consumed by Patrick Moore. To her, Leroy was nothing but a nightmare, invading her life and ruining her happiness.
She only wanted to escape and had never truly looked at this man or cared about his feelings toward her.
Fanny knew very well that she didn't love him and even felt a deep-seated fear of him.
And he didn't love her either.
He only needed a compliant and understanding puppet wife, and she was certainly not that.
Leroy quickly led her out, and suddenly, screams and sounds of destruction erupted behind them.
Eleanor couldn't believe Leroy was willing to go to such lengths for a woman!
Her heart was filled with jealousy and resentment!
Turning around, she suddenly spotted a gift.
Eleanor Barrett jumped slightly when she opened the bag and saw a note inside: "Happy Birthday,
Dad — Your daughter-in-law, Fanny Ives."
The handwriting was neat and carried a unique elegance.
As soon as Eleanor saw the note, she remembered that today was Leroy Morse's father's birthday! She had almost forgotten!
The gift in front of her was beautifully wrapped, clearly prepared with great care. Judging by the packaging and size, it seemed to be something practical, like a massager.
Eleanor looked at the note, a smirk forming on her lips as she tore it off.
Wasn't Fanny Ives supposed to be going back to celebrate Brentley Morse's birthday?
If Fanny saw her carefully prepared gift in someone else's hands, she couldn't help but wonder what her reaction would be.
Just thinking about it made Eleanor feel satisfied. She grabbed the gift and quickly walked out.

As Fanny Ives stepped out of the mall, she pushed Leroy Morse away a bit, sincerely saying, "Thank you."
Leroy noticed her subtle gesture, his eyes turning cold. "You couldn't just call me about something like this?"
Fanny hesitated for a moment and replied softly, "It's just a small thing."
Leroy pressed his lips into a straight line, a cold laugh escaping him as he stepped closer. "A small thing? You think it's just a small thing that my wife is being bullied and can't hold her head high?"
Fanny was momentarily taken aback.
Leroy Morse's eyes darkened further. "Or do you think it’s just a small matter for me to lose face like that?"
Fanny Ives felt a bit flustered. "I... I didn’t mean to..."
Leroy Morse gripped her chin, warning her word by word, "Next time, be more assertive in what you say and do, or it’ll be my face on the line."
Fanny winced slightly from the pressure and nodded.
Leroy released her and quickly got into the car.
Fanny hurried to follow, but just as she opened the door, she heard Eleanor Barrett's voice calling out, "Wait!"
Turning back, Fanny was met with Eleanor's sweet, radiant smile.
But it was clear that the smile wasn’t directed at Fanny. Eleanor rushed over and said, "Leroy, today is Uncle's birthday. Are you planning to head back home? I’m going there too to celebrate, and it would be great if you could give me a ride!"
Without even glancing at her, Leroy replied, "Not convenient."
Then he turned his gaze to Fanny. "Do I need to invite you again?"
Fanny quickly got into the car, and the Maybach sped off, leaving Eleanor feeling completely invisible.
Eleanor was furious!
As a big star, she had no choice but to sneak away, waiting for her chauffeur while dialing her assistant. "Find out what kind of background Leroy Morse's new wife has!"
-
By the time they arrived at the Morse family estate, Fanny Ives had transformed completely.
Leroy Morse took her to an image consulting agency, where they styled her from head to toe.
The soft pink long dress, paired with a youthful
makeup look, made Fanny Ives look radiant, gentle, and sweet—she was stunning beyond words.
When she first stepped out, even Leroy was momentarily taken aback.
As they arrived at the Morse family home, the moment they got out of the car, Fanny caught the attention of many onlookers.
Wendy Morse stood on the second floor, her eyes widening in astonishment as she spotted Fanny.
She had mentally prepared herself for her new sister-in-law to be a beauty, but she never expected her to look this incredible!
No wonder their brother had been completely enchanted by her; with looks like that, it was no
surprise she was so captivating!
Feeling a bit envious, Wendy watched as Fanny walked closer and, with a swift motion, splashed the prepared basin of water outward.
