Chapter 140

By coincidence, Tom Malfoy had recently taken a young woman he was keeping to a jewellery store to buy accessories, where he’d caught the eye of a sales assistant.

Malfoy, having known countless women and living a profligate lifestyle, wanted to bed any attractive woman who caught his fancy.

He had spent over two million pounds on a necklace for his kept woman, simultaneously showing off his wealth to the shop assistant.

While the young woman was in the restroom, Malfoy had asked for the sales assistant’s contact information.

That very night, they ended up in bed together.

On Valentines, Malfoy arranged another meeting with the sales assistant.

In a themed hotel suite, after they’d finished, Malfoy tossed a card to the woman. “Happy Valentines, darling. Spend it however you like.”

The woman smiled as she accepted the card, and with suggestive intent, said coquettishly: “You never put any thought into choosing a gift for me. It’s always just money. Today, a gentleman in our store purchased the Valentines limited edition necklace priced at £9,990,000 for his girlfriend. I’m so envious. He must truly love her.”

Malfoy scoffed, leaning against the headboard casually smoking a post–coital cigarette, exhaling clouds of smoke.

Having just been satisfied, his mood was good, and he wasn’t angered by her words. He smiled, responding with unusual patience: “There’s over a hundred thousand in that card. Buy whatever you fancy. Money is all that matters–you’re not seriously expecting love, are you?”

The woman snuggled up to him, resting her head on his chest as she said in a babyish voice: “I was just making conversation.”

Malfoy flicked his ash, his expression cold. “Don’t mention that word–love.”

“I understand.”

Malfoy hadn’t given the matter much thought initially.

Shortly after Valentines, Asher seemed suddenly motivated by something and began investigating Malfoy’s operations relentlessly. Arno Jones had made only a minor oversight, but Asher’s team immediately spotted the

weakness.

Before long, Jones was arrested by the police.
