Wife You Discarded is a Billionaire's Crush novel Chapter 177

"In your eyes, my abilities are worthless, and my salary is even more insignificant."

Liliana was used to his sarcasm. Her only goal was the money.

She gritted her teeth and continued, "So, you still need to give me the allowance."

Cedric's expression was cool and aloof. He didn't offer any more sarcastic remarks, but he didn't agree to give it to her either.

"Come with me somewhere tomorrow afternoon. I'll transfer it to you then."

The implication was clear: if she didn't go, he wouldn't pay.

Liliana was surprised. "Are you sure you want to take me out?"

By 'out,' she meant somewhere other than their home or the Forrest Estate.

Wasn't he afraid of the rumors that might start if he was seen with her?

"What?" Cedric studied her. "You don't want to?"

"Of course not." Liliana shook her head, then added a reminder. "Just don't regret it if some gossip gets out and upsets Vice President Woods."

Sylvia's possessiveness over Cedric was stronger than that of his own wife.

Cedric didn't understand what taking Liliana out had to do with Sylvia.

Annoyed by Liliana's attitude, he blurted out, "She's more magnanimous than you. She wouldn't be upset."

Liliana's appetite completely vanished.

She looked at Cedric with her clear eyes for a few seconds, then put down her fork and stood up. "I'm full. Take your time. I'll clean up later."

She went to the living room, packed up her laptop and the small table, then sat on the sofa to message Nina and request the day off.

A short while later, Cedric finished eating, went upstairs, and dove back into his work in the study.

He had been very busy lately. In their two years of marriage, Liliana had rarely seen him pull all-nighters for work.
