Chapter 112: Chapter 112
"Well, this is my personal contact. Call
if you need any instruction on what we should do next, or if you need money when you’re in a tight spot. I will help, as long as we have the sa goal," Camilla said as she handed her business card. "I’m leaving now. Don’t tell our eting with your Madam, though, I believe you are smart enough to keep this eting a secret, right?"
Arthur nodded and pocketed the business card. He watched as Camilla turned around and left the basent parking lot.
He waited until she was out of his sight before he took out the business card again and read it.
—
Camilla Saenz
Businesswoman/Financial Advisor
—
Arthur flipped the card, and there was a personal phone number for him to tell Madam Winter later.
He scoffed when he read the job that Camilla put on her business card.
"Businesswoman? Financial advisor? You are a very well-known loan shark in the underworld. What on earth are you talking about?" Arthur scoffed. "Ti to tell Madam Winter about this."

anwhile, Winter was busy with Sebastian in the office. They had so much to sort out that they had to tell Iris to get lunch from the nearby restaurant and have lunch in the office.
Winter finally finished doing her part in late noon, while Sebastian was still swamped with so much paperwork to check. He didn’t want to make a mistake in the contract, as one simple mistake might cost millions of dollars for them.
Winter stared at Sebastian who was so focused. He looked like in pain while reading the stack of docunts one by one.
’Should I leave him now?’ Winter asked herself. Now that she was done helping Sebastian, she wanted to do sothing else to finally catch the mole who had been feeding Camilla all the information regarding the company.
’Should I tell Sebastian about his mother’s mole too? I know he has been taking my side just now, but I’m sure he still has so tenderness for the mother who raised him. I can’t fully trust him yet.’
Winter weighed the pros and cons of telling Sebastian about this internal problem. In the end, she decided not to tell him.
On top of the lack of trust between them, she also didn’t want to distract him with useless problems like this. It wasn’t sothing worth his attention when he had a big project in front of him.
’I will deal with this myself.’
Winter put the docunt on the coffee table, grabbed her bag, and stood up.
Sebastian lifted his head imdiately.
Though he was focused on his work, he never lost his eyes on Winter. Checking on her periodically, in case she got confused over the project, or she might need sothing.
"Where are you going, Winter?" Sebastian asked.
"I’m done with my part, so I’m going ho now," Winter replied.
"Then, I’m going to drive you ho," Sebastian said as he stood up and picked up his car key.
"Why? You still have a lot of things to do in the office," Winter raised her brow. "Don’t worry about . I’m going ho with Arthur."
Sebastian was unwilling.
If he could, he would just fire Arthur and then drive Winter ho all by himself. But since Winter rejected him, he could only return to his seat.
"Don’t be so hostile towards him, Sebastian. He might be a bit too much when protecting , but he has been with
for so long, it’s not fair to suddenly fire him just because you don’t like him," Winter defended Arthur again, knowing fully well what was in Sebastian’s mind right now. "Besides, you don’t need to be jealous of him. He is dedicated to his job, that’s all."
"He wants to bang you," Sebastian said coldly.
Winter chuckled, "Even if he does, as long as he doesn’t touch
inappropriately, then there’s nothing to worry about, right? Besides, I think you should be worried about yourself instead."
"About ?"
"Mhm, I will not let him do anything to , as long as you won’t do anything to Cindy or other won. Two can play the ga, Sebastian Saenz. You cheat, so I cheat."
Winter then left the room without saying goodbye.
Sebastian was speechless by Winter’s sentence. She sounded so certain as if she truly had her heart on him and wouldn’t ever leave him as long as he kept his promise of being loyal.
Sebastian clenched the car key in his hand. He thought it was impossible to fall in love deeper for this woman who had long stolen his heart.
But he was wrong.
Her assertiveness, and absolute loyalty to her husband, or perhaps to the idea of a sacred marriage vow instead, made him fall in love deeper and deeper.
He didn’t care if she loved him or if she was in love with the idea of fulfilling their wedding vow.
Sebastian was just happy that soone in their marriage was actually a sane and loving woman.
"You really know how to make
feel things, Winter Saenz."

Winter walked past Cindy and Iris who were still busy with their job, and Cindy couldn’t help but comnt, "Must be good to be a useless wife of a CEO. You can just co and go as you please, sit prettily, and then beco rich."
Iris rolled her eyes. She didn’t even bother to correct her, because Cindy was a stubborn woman who wouldn’t believe anything except her own narrative. She believed that Winter hadn’t done anything to deserve so much success, even though Iris had been telling her many tis that Winter was the one who kept everything running well.
Had she not interfered with the work in the office, then it’d take a while for Mr. Saenz to start risking it and pick up big projects.
On top of that, even though they didn’t show it often, the CEO had always been clear that he did everything because he wanted to make his wife happy.
Unfortunately, such a narrative wasn’t good enough to justify Cindy’s jealousy and hatred towards her sister.
Winter stopped on her track. She looked over her shoulder and said, "Then maybe you should find your own man rather than vying for mine. By the way, I do not care whether you’re trying to seduce Sebastian or not. You can try, and if he does cheat on
with you, then he’s all yours."
Cindy scoffed, "Be careful of what you wish for, sis. You don’t know what will happen in the future. What if he cheated on you? You will cry knowing that Sebastian is mine!"
Iris facepald so hard because she didn’t expect this shaless woman to openly oppose Winter, who was the owner of the company.
Surely, Winter had been so kind to let her continue interning in this office, even though Cindy had been nothing but annoying the whole ti.
"If that happens, then he is not worth my ti. But I don’t mind, I have soone else waiting for ."
Cindy rolled her eyes, "Co on, we both know that you’re old and infertile. Sebastian married you because you inherited Aiden’s money after his death! So, don’t act like you’re the hot stuff. It really annoys !"
Winter sighed.
She didn’t plan to have a petty war against his little sister. After all, Winter knew it would only hurt Cindy even more.
However her patience had a limit, and Cindy had been pushing her patience to the edge repeatedly.
Thus, she took a ruby necklace out of her bag and dangled the beautiful ruby necklace as if it was a cheap thing that wasn’t worth much in Winter’s eyes.
"Do you know what this is?" Winter asked, and Cindy didn’t respond. She just stared at the beautiful ruby necklace, waiting for Winter’s answer. "This is a ruby necklace worn by the last Empress of Prussia. It was a family heirloom before it got auctioned yesterday. Lucien LeBlanc won the bet after a hard bidding fight with Sebastian, he bought this necklace for ten million dollars, and gave it to
this morning as a gift."
Cindy’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She couldn’t believe it when Winter ntioned the history behind the necklace, the price, and also the man who bought it for that price.
On top of that, Sebastian was also willing to go on a risky bidding battle against Lucien LeBlanc just to get that necklace for Winter!
"Do you think a man like Lucien LeBlanc would give this expensive necklace to a random woman? No, of course not. He’s interested in
and has been trying to sway
by his side so he can marry . Yet, here I am, putting the necklace back into my bag with all the other random stuff inside."
"Why? Because I appreciate my husband, Sebastian Saenz," Winter said. "I appreciate his hard work and how he tries to bid despite risking all of his money just to make
happy."
"If he ever cheats on
with you—or anyone else in this world. You should know that it doesn’t matter for , Cindy," Winter said coldly. "I do not lack capable n who are waiting for ."
