He Said He Could Afford Two Wives, I Showed Him He Could Afford Zero Chapter 06

My dad’s efficiency was legendary. 

Within ten minutes of hanging up, Carrington’s trading team 

was assembled and ready to deliver a death blow to Cross 

Enterprises. 

Meanwhile, I started tearing through Cross’s financials and 

filings from the last several years. 

Halfway through, a friend request popped up. Skylar Quinn. 

Her profile picture was the same intimate bed photo. 

I accepted. 

She messaged instantly. 

[Aira, you have to come to the wedding next week. I saved you a seat at the head table. I mean, you were with Lan for ten years, you’re practically family, right?] 

[You’d be happy for us, wouldn’t you?] 

The saccharine act was so thick I nearly laughed. 

What an absolute fool. 

Was she in that much of a hurry to destroy herself? 

[Location?] I typed. 

She fired back a digital invitation. The venue was the most luxurious hotel in the city, and that hotel happened to be 

owned by my family. 

Nice choice. 

As if she was scared I wouldn’t show, she sent a voice message. “Please come, Aria. If you don’t show up, his mom 

and the rest of the family are gonna think I pushed you out or something, and that’s just so awkward.” 

I let a smile curl my lips and typed my reply. 

[Don’t worry. I wouldn’t miss such an important day.] 

[I’ll be there to personally deliver a gift you’ll remember for 

the rest of your lives.] 

I closed the screen and called my assistant. “Get me a dress for the wedding next week. The most dazzling, most expensive 

one.” 

“And dig up everything you can on Skylar Quinn.” 

“Yes, Ms. Carrington.” 

I hung up and stared out the window into the night, my smile growing colder. 

Landon, Skylar. 

That wedding would be the most glorious day of your lives, 

and the most humiliating one. 

I’d make sure of it.
