Tonight, Emerald was different from the last time she had attended a Valentine gathering. The moment Samantha laid eyes on her, she noticed the dress immediately.
It was a high-end piece from a world-renowned designer—so exclusive that even celebrities struggled to borrow it. Each gown cost millions.
And then there was the jewelry. A custom-made necklace and earrings, one-of-a-kind in the world.
Samantha's expression darkened. When Emerald was with Ethan, she dressed like an ordinary schoolgirl. How could she have transformed so drastically in such a short time?
Ethan's gaze locked onto her the moment she stepped in, his eyes following her every move. He alone understood the reason behind her change.
When she was with me, she never spent a single cent of my money. She wanted to make our breakup clean, with no strings attached.
But Alaric was different. She never rejected his generosity.
