Chapter 668

Gwyneth didn't suspect anything and got out of the car, heading straight into the company building.

Hawthorne waited until she disappeared from sight before leisurely returning Patti Yale's call.

"Hawthorne, I called you earlier-why didn't you pick up? Were you at work? Have you been busy lately? I tried reaching you all night yesterday and couldn't get through."

Patti had gone on a shopping spree, loading up on designer handbags, clothes, and shoes. While treating herself, she'd swiped Hawthorne's card for about ten dollars and picked up a suit for him as well.

The total haul came to over thirty thousand dollars, and the suit bore a glaringly obvious luxury label.

At first, Patti had wanted to get him a suit worth over a hundred thousand, but then she remembered this two million dollar card was basically her "allowance" from Hawthorne.

Once the money was spent, that was it gone for good. She felt a twinge of reluctance. But a thirty-thousand-dollar suit was still designer, and it's not like only a six-figure price tag could show her appreciation.

She never would've imagined that, just a few years after she left, Hawthorne would become the richest man in Greenvale. Back when he was down on his luck, he'd worn cheap street-market clothes that didn't even cost fifty bucks. Thirty grand was more than generous.

With that thought, Patti felt completely justified.

"Business dinner," Hawthorne replied, his voice flat.

Patti hesitated, wanting to ask about the rumors she'd heard of his marriage, but it felt too blunt.
