President’s Sweet Wife

"Bah! Poor wretch! She can't afford anything!"

The woman next to Lotus said with heaving irony, "Don't embarrass yourself if you can't afford them. You are a real eyesore!" Laura frowned, "Does this museum... belong to your family?"

The woman sneered, "No, but my family donated 10 million dollars. Bumpkin, it's astronomical to you, right?"

"I say you should get out of here before Jasmyn gets angry and kick your butt out. That will be a pure shame!"

Laura gave a mocking smile. It turned out that they liked to intimidate people under the guise of others' power. Of course, Laura knew about the donation. Moreover, she knew it was Max who pressed them to do so.

She found it ironic to see their nasty mugs.

"Hey! I'm talking to you. Are you listening?"

Before she could react, one of the women gave her a push angrily.

Laura was still recovering from her foot injury she got on the set before. So she lost her balance and fell flat on her back.

She did not expect her to do so. Just as she was feeling unlucky and talking it all in, she suddenly felt someone's arms around her waist.

Everyone was shocked. When they saw what he was, they all gulped nervously.

Who was he? He was fantastically handsome!

A rich man? What kind of person could have such charming temperament and appearance? Was he a new star?

Lotus went red in the face. Before she could speak again, she heard the man blurt out in a sulk. "What's going on? You can't even protect yourself around these people if I'm not here for you?" Max's appearance stunned Laura for a moment. Then she said, "Of course I can."

"So what's going on here?"

He looked at those women.

His eyes were as sharp as a sword, which made them tremble uncontrollably.

Lotus frowned, "who are you? Mind your own business!"

Jasmyn and Lotus, who had been studying abroad, returned to the country recently.

For the past six months, he fell in love with Laura, and he had no time to think about anyone but Laura. Tidbits were unlikely to happen to him.

For a long time, he had kept a low profile. So it's not surprising that they didn't know him.

Max obviously disdained to answer and just stared at Laura.

Laura said with her mouth twitched. "They called me a bumpkin. They said I couldn't afford the stuff here and I should leave."

Max's face turned cooler, "So you're just gonna walk away?"

"No!" Laura argued, "They said this museum was financed by the Ronaldo family, and I accidentally offend Miss Ronaldo, so I'm afraid I'll get kicked out if I don't leave voluntarily." "Coward!" Max sneered. "Jim!"

Suddenly Jim sprung out of nowhere. Then he came over to Max and said respectfully, "yes, sir."

"Get these women out of here! And tell whoever's in charge that I own this place now. I'm gonna buy it."

Laura was speechless.

Buy it?

Buy it?

Buy it?

"Mr. Nixon, this is not a house. This is a museum. And you just bought it without hesitation!"

Laura thought to herself in shock. However, Jim took it seriously and nodded. When he was about to make it happen, Laura stopped him immediately, "Max Nixon, what are you doing?" "Don't you love it here? You can come here every day! You will be the only visitor allowed in here if I own it!"

Laura thought he tended to go to extremes. Then she forced a smile and said, "No, no. That will be boring! What I said just now was flippant and off-the-cuff. Don't take it seriously!" Those women turned pale at his words. They looked at each other in terror.

Max Nixon?

Was he Max Nixon?

Was he the famous playboy who owned a billion dollars? Was he the favorite grandson of Mrs. Nixon?

Why was he with this poor woman? Why was he so protective of her?

There was fear in those women's eyes. It didn't matter if they offend Laura. They were more afraid of Max. They didn't want to find themselves a dead way!

Lotus caught on and said eagerly, "Mr. Nixon? I'm so sorry! We were just kidding. We know you are a bigger man, and you won't blame us.

"Yeah! We just wanted to give her a friendly reminder. The person who targets her is Lily, not us."

"Yes, yes! We meant no harm. We are afraid that she will be bullied."

Laura looked at these hypocrites and thought that fortunately, she had the foresight not to make friends with them. It would definitely do her no good.

Max was distant and indifferent. He ignored them from the beginning to the end. On hearing the argument Sam rushed over here. His nostrils flared with fear. "What's happening?" Jasmyn and Sam were relatives, so they knew each other. She stepped forward to explain. "Sam, there was a misunderstanding. Help us out here."

Sam's face darkened suddenly. Then he gave her a glare and snapped, "Don't be so rude. She's Mr. Nixon's girlfriend!"

Laura could clearly see the shock registered on their face when they heard Sam's words.

She touched her nose and said inwardly, "Oh, 'Max Nixon' is a great deterrent!"

If she had known then she would not argue with them.

Jasmyn and the other women were shocked that Laura was Max's girlfriend.

Though they had not met Max before, they had heard of his name.

They knew Max was a playboy, but he didn't like women calling themselves his girlfriend.

He never admitted to having a girlfriend.

After all, for a man of his stature, once he did make it public, it would be a sign of the importance he attached to the woman he loved.

He might even marry her and make her part of the Nixon family.

So even if there was a lot of gossip about him, he never really admitted it.0000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
