Chapter 804: Silver Fox ascended to the second floor, heading straight for the master bedroom. She entered, locking the door behind her.
Though she and Buwere officially married, she had set clear boundaries—no sharing a room until she felt ready. For now, that meant Buwas relegated to other sleeping arrangements in his own home.
Normally, Silver Fox would only relinquish the master bedroom when staying with Black Snake. But in any other situation, she ruled the master bedroom unchallenged.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtReclining on the expansive, opulent bed, she let out a satisfied sigh. A chuckle escaped her as she reminisced about her earlier confrontation with Burnet. She had left him utterly speechless and embarrassed—a stark contrast to the formidable figure she once thought he was. Today's realization was clear-he was merely a paper tiger. As long as she maintained her strength, he posed no threat to her.
Resolute, Silver Fox decided to always stand her ground with him, ensuring she'd never fall under his sway. A smug smile played on her lips as she contemplated her newfound resolve.
Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted by the ring of her phone.

Initially, the amount was unclear-just a blur of zeros. After counting them carefully, she realized he had sent her 100 million dollars.
"Oh my God!" Her eyes widened in shock.
Holding his secondary card, Silver Fox knew she could purchase anything she desired. Earlier that day, Buhad already presented her with one billion as a wedding gift. But why another 100 million now, in the dead of night? Was this typical for someone like Burnet, doling out millions with such frequency? Wondering if perhaps it was a mistake, she sent him a querying message. “What does this mean?" Buresponded promptly, "Apology fee. Sorry, my words earlier were out of line and offended you. I hope this money can ease your anger." Stunned, Silver Fox paused. Was this the norm for someone of Burnet's stature to apologize so lavishly? A mere verbal slip-up was remedied with 100 million? On the day she had crashed into his car, his reaction then was far from generous-it was downright cruel. The contrast to his current magnanimity was stark. Could his generosity stem from the fact that she was to be the mother of his children? Whatever his motives, Silver Fox found herself increasingly appreciative of his extravagant gestures.
With that thought in mind, she decided to accept the money.
A satisfied smile spread across her face as she replied to his message, "Ahem! Well then, feel free to do whatever you want." Downstairs, Buchuckled when he saw her response, shaking his head at her audacity. He couldn't help but think of her as a little money-grubber.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt dawned on him that the easiest way to keep her happy was through lavish gifts. Whenever he inadvertently upset her, he could simply throw money her way-more for bigger offenses, less for minor ones.
This realization simplified everything. To Burnet, any problem that could be solved with money wasn't really a problem at all.
Pleased with his newfound strategy, he quickly cleared the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen before om hurrying upstairs to the master bedroom. As he ascended, he thought her message must imply that she'd be open to sharing a room. However, upon reaching the master bedroom, he found the door locked from the inside.
Rubbing his nose in mild frustration, Bupulled out his phone andm transferred another 100 million, adding a brief message, “Mrs. Hoffman, please open the door."
Silver Fox was just about to step into the shower when her phone buzzed again. Curious, she walked back to the bed, picked up her phone, and saw his message. This time, them ve amount no longer shocked her. She couldn't help but marvel at Burnet's extravagance. 100 million dollars just to open a door-this was easily the most expensive door-opening fee she had ever encountered. Living with a man so wealthy and powerful certainly had its perks. Smiling to herself, she walked over and unlocked the door
