Chapter 400

“Once a cheater, always a cheater. Don’t you ever learn?” He suddenly grabbed my hand, giving my palm a gentle squeeze.

I couldn’t help but laugh at that. I shrugged and said, “Of course I remember. It’s just… we have a kid together. His career, whether it takes off or crashes, still matters for our child’s future.”

“So that’s why you’re working yourself to the bone? Just to make money for him?” Ryan looked genuinely surprised.

I shook my head. “That wasn’t really my intention before, but I guess you could look at it that way now. Besides, he’s actually been pretty generous with me. Everything I make these days is just from my own job.”

“You’re really all about the money?” Ryan looked genuinely surprised, then got lost in thought.

I nodded with a grin. “Of course! Money never betrays you. As long as it’s sitting in my account, it’s mine to spend–ready to fuel every single one of my shopping cravings.”

Ryan let out a little “oh,” then said, “So, want me to get you a spot at Uncle Ryan’s company? You’d make way more money over there.”

We were really into our conversation when he suddenly brought up Uncle Ryan.

My expression froze, and I instinctively said, “No, I’m good. I actually like my job as it is.”

“Your job right now isn’t really challenging. If you want, I could have Uncle Ryan set you up with your own company. You’d be the boss, and I’d take care of all the resources and connections for you. All you’d have to do is rake in the cash,” Ryan said, totally serious. I knew he could actually make it happen.

“No, thanks. I’m content with a modest life. If I had too much money, I’d probably lose myself,” I replied, honestly a little freaked out.

“Seriously, don’t feel awkward about it. Half of Uncle Ryan’s fortune is in my name now,” Ryan said, almost offhand. “Every dollar he earns these days, I get a fifty–fifty cut.”

I couldn’t help but suck in a breath. Honestly, I had no clue what the Jennings family actually did to rake in that kind of cash, but one thing was clear- Ryan was loaded, way beyond my imagination.
