Chapter 49 Chapter 49

Lyra, standing beside Chris, suddenly chimed in, "Chris, your wedding is tomorrow. Maybe try not to ogle every woman who crosses your path?"

Chris frowned, shooting her an annoyed glance. "Since when is being nice a crime?"

"Nice? There's a fine line between being nice and being a creep," Lyra retorted, firmly siding with Sophia. "Fine," Chris muttered, knowing his little trick wasn't working. He turned back to Jasmine. "Gorgeous," he called out, flashing a grin. "How about you join us? That man there is undeserving of your attention. He'll only try to scam your money."

Jasmine gently touched Alex's chin and smiled.

"Oh, Alex," she said softly. "All I have is money. If that's the only reason you'll give me your attention, just name your price. I have a hundred million with me now. If that's not enough, just tell me-I still have some more at home."

"Lady," Chris interrupted suddenly, trying to sound suave.

"You're beautiful, and you don't need to give money just to get attention. People would line up to give you all the attention you deserve!"

"Really?" Jasmine asked, her eyes narrowing in skepticism

"But I'm a lonely woman, and the only men I know are Alex and you. Since you can't give me the attention I need, how can I believe your words? All I have is money, and I think it's quite fair to exchange it for attention."

Chris's heart pounded.

If this woman was truly that desperate for attention, and all she had was money...

Chris's gaze swept over her diamond-studded bracelet, her designer dress, the glinting watch on her wrist.

She was easily wearing fifty million worth of luxury. And clearly, she was loaded. He could almost hear the gears in his head turning.
