Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 683: The Twenty-Million-Yuan Story

The idlers left, and Jasper Sinclair started the engine, merging into the bustling city.

This wasn’t the best time for chatting, he pondered: where could he find a place for Nora Northwood to vent her emotions?

Golf, horse riding, swimming... none seemed quite suitable.

In the end, Jasper Sinclair settled on a sports center that featured an archery section.

He said, "Let’s go to a great place."

Nora had no energy, allowing Jasper to lead the way. After all, there was still one person in the world with whom she could completely let down her guard and defenses.

Thinking this, it didn’t seem so bad.

The traffic lights changed back and forth, and Jasper drove into the underground parking lot, taking the elevator directly to the third floor.

"Mr. Sinclair, long time no see. Your competition compound bow is still being regularly maintained, waiting for you." A muscular private coach greeted Jasper like an old acquaintance.

It seemed they had known each other for quite some time.

"Today’s main guest is my wife. She needs an eighteen-pound recurve bow. She’s never tried anything like this before, just here for fun."

"So it’s Mrs. Sinclair, pardon my oversight, you’re even prettier than the rumors online."

After some pleasantries, the coach fetched a new bow suitable for beginners without experience.

Jasper, worried that too many people there would make Nora uncomfortable, cleared the whole floor.

The other patrons were disgruntled, until they heard, "The gentleman booking the venue has offered each person a complimentary annual membership worth two hundred thousand yuan, which can be processed at the front desk later."

Money solves everything.

The crowd’s attention shifted from grievances to gossip—who exactly was this extravagant second-generation rich kid?

Based on today’s traffic, the sports center earned at least two point five million.

Nora, absorbed in figuring out how to handle the bow, was entirely unaware that Jasper had casually splurged twenty million.

Jasper continued earnestly advising her, "When I was upset as a child, Grandma Sinclair would bring me to this sports center to vent. Throw away the bad emotions in the trash can, and once you’ve slept, the world keeps turning; it’s no big deal."

In response to his comforting words, Nora didn’t know whether to say thank you or just smile.

Seeing that Nora’s expression improved slightly, he shared more stories from the past.

For instance, Grandma Sinclair once canceled all his secondary cards to train his ability, leading him to a point where he couldn’t even pay for a sandwich at a convenience store.

Nora hadn’t expected that someone who always seemed so unreachable had also faced embarrassment.

She had thought Jasper Sinclair had always lived in privilege from a young age.

The truth proved that the more substantial the family background, the more effort they invested in the successor.

...

By the end of her venting, Nora was physically exhausted. There was no time left for sadness.

She lay on the ground in fatigue and suddenly realized the entire floor was empty; not even a coach was in sight.

She asked, "Where’s the coach who spoke to you earlier?"

"Busy elsewhere, knowing you don’t like crowded places."

Jasper hesitated for a moment and didn’t reveal the "twenty million" affair, lest she start lamenting over the wallet he had just managed to cheer up.

"Jasper, I’m hungry. Take me to eat something and have a drink, alright?"

After recovering a bit, Nora’s tone also calmed down. Looking at her expression, a mix of helplessness with a touch of grievance that made one want to hold her tenderly.
