My $10M Supercar, Her Pink Cat Nest Chapter 04

My $10M Supercar, Her Pink Cat Nest Chapter 04 The Frozen Card
“I rewarded her because she worked hard. That’s all.”
Conrad said it like the explanation should end everything.
“You have an entire garage full of cars. You couldn’t drive them all even if you tried. I gave one to an employee as a bonus. What’s the problem? If you’re upset, I’ll buy you a few more later. Now call someone and have my garage restored.”
He reached for my arm, clearly intending to drag me out.
“We’ll talk at home. Don’t make a scene here.”
I shook him off.
“Leave? We haven’t settled anything yet. Why are you so eager to run? Unless you really are keeping another woman behind my back.”
The room buzzed at once.
Conrad’s face went hard.
“I already told you. It was an employee reward. There’s nothing between us. What exactly do you want?”
I answered with a slap.
The crack cut through the hall.
Conrad’s head turned slightly from the force.
I looked at him without blinking.
“You gave my car away without asking. Then you brought that same secretary to a private business reception and let everyone mistake her for your woman. Conrad Bennett, you’ve gotten too comfortable.”
His jaw tightened.
I stepped closer and lowered my voice, cold enough for him to hear every word.
“Touch my belongings again, or let another shady little thing parade herself in front of me, and one slap will be the least of your problems. I built Bennett Group up. I can also make sure it belongs to someone else.”
Then I left.
Behind me, the hall erupted into whispers.
Conrad did not come home after that.
I did not call him either.
A few days later, while clearing out a drawer, I found the supplementary card he had opened for me after our wedding.
He had been adding money to it over the years. The balance had grown past a hundred million dollars.
I almost never used it.
Back then, I had thought that if Bennett Group ever ran into trouble, that money could serve as emergency cash for him.
Now, after seeing how freely he spent on Fiona, I finally saw how ridiculous I had been.
So I took the card and went shopping.
If he could spend money on his secretary, I could burn through his money a hundred times harder.
That afternoon, I walked through nearly every luxury boutique in the mall.
When the sales associates brought my purchases over in neat piles and prepared to check me out, the mall supervisor walked up with an apologetic look.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Sterling. This card has been frozen. Do you have another payment method?”
I thought I had misheard.
“Frozen?”
“Yes. Mr. Bennett froze this supplementary card three days ago. No charges can go through.”
Three days ago.
I had actually believed he might be reflecting on what he had done.
Instead, his first move had been to cut off the card he gave me.
Furious, I pulled out my phone and called him.
The call would not connect.
He had blocked me.
Before I could laugh from anger, my assistant sent me another screenshot.
Fiona had posted again.
“Promoted to chief executive assistant. Thank you, Mr. Bennett, for your trust and guidance. I won’t disappoint you~”
The photo showed the top-floor office at Bennett Group, the one with the best view in the entire building.
Conrad had liked the post using the company’s official account.
A second message followed.
“Mrs. Bennett, that’s not all. Mr. Bennett also paid cash yesterday for a detached villa downtown under Fiona Lane’s name.”
My teeth clenched.
So my warning had meant nothing to him.
He froze my card, then gave his secretary a promotion, a raise, an office, and a villa.
Good.
If Conrad Bennett wanted to test how far he could push me, I would show him exactly where the edge was.
