NovelEnglishThough Dominic had lost his memory, he wasn't stupid.
As a cultured rich kid, he knew better than anyone the value of Juliet roses.
Juliet roses first made their way in the 13th century, then spread to many countries, becoming a flower associated with the nobility of the Middle Ages, exclusively for the wealthy. Having the money didn't guarantee one would be able to buy them.
Dominic wondered, 'How could Audrey's husband afford such expensive flowers?' When Dominic bought roses for Audrey, he specifically requested the staff to airlift the freshest and most expensive red roses from another country.
Even so, this bouquet of 100 roses only ŝet him back a little over 3 thousand dollars.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Juliet's roses were worth a fortune, with rumors saying a single one would cost 9 million dollars.
That meant the eleven roses in Alistair's hands were nearly 100 million dollars.
While Dominic remained silent, he heard the exclamations and discussions of Audrey's colleagues nearby.
Someone said, "I can't believe Ms. Rhodes's husband sent her Juliet roses. I've only seen them online before. I can't believe I get to see the real things today." One said, "These Juliet roses do look different from regular roses. The petals are more intricate, and they're not just plain white. There's a soft pink at the center. So pretty." Another asked, "Is there a chance they might be fake?" Many people didn't believe Audrey's husband could afford such expensive flowers.
They thought even if he could afford a multi-million-dollar customized car, it would be ridiculous to spend 9 million dollars on eleven roses.
One said, "I think they're real. They look just like the ones I saw online, and Ms. Rhodes's husband doesn't seem like the type to send fake flowers. Would a couple mess around with something fake?" Someone said, "Maybe he's doing it to make Ms. Rhodes look good." Another said, "Who exactly is Ms. Rhodes's husband to spend 9 million dollars buying roses like it's no big deal?" A person said, "Who knows? What if Ms. Rhodes's husband is actually shidden billionaire?" Hearing the surrounding chatter without any reservations, Audrey immediately changed her expression.
She had never expected that this seemingly low-key bouquet would have such a remarkable origin.
But when she thought of Alistair's status, she knew this bouquet was the real deal.
"Hidden billionaire? That's ridiculous," Dominic scoffed. "He's simply sunknown guy with just a good-looking appearance." Michael shook his head and looked at Dominic with sympathy.
Michael thought, 'How dare he describe Mr. Hayes like that? He is really bold.
21:59 Wed, Dec 25 Chapter 244 Dominic didn't realize that the man he referred to as an unknown guy with just a good-looking appearance was Alistair Hayes, whom even his parents wouldn't dare to easily offend. Dominic looked down at Alistair and said in a mocking tone, "These flowers look like they were just picked from the roadside. There's no way they are Juliet roses." Alistair watched Dominic silently, his gaze calm and indifferent, not the slightest bit angry about being exposed. Seeing this, Dominic felt even more unsettled.
He thought, 'How dare he keep ignoringlike that?" 58%

She continued, "Even if my husband gaveordinary roses, what's the problem? As long as they're from him, I love them. Who are you, an outsider, to judge?" Dominic couldn't believe that he was merely an outsider in Audrey's eyes, and his mind was in turmoil when he heard Audrey's words.
He wondered, 'She would rather accept unremarkable fake flowers than my lavish bouquet of 100 roses. I've just taken a nap. Why has my whole life turned upside down after I woke up?' At first, Dominic thought it was a joke. He didn't believe that Audrey was no longer his beloved girlfriend, but someone else's wife.
However, after seeing how much she cared for and loved Alistair Dominic couldn't deceive himself anymore.
Dominic knew that no matter what he did, he couldn't win Audrey back.
