Chapter 727
After rushing home, Elizabeth went berserk and began smashing and tearing everything in the house,
including photos of her and Joseph.
When Joseph entered the house, a mess met him.
"Are you done?"
"No!"
She howled hysterically and began to throw anything she could grab at him.
"Get out! Get out! I don't want to see you!"
Kicking away the trash on the ground, Joseph walked toward Elizabeth and stood there with a
darkened expression.
"I know you're angry that I embarrassed you in front of the media, but did you ever think of my
reputation when you spoke?"
"How is it my fault?! How did I ruin your reputation? Did I scold you, trample all over you, or make you

Elizabeth trembled with anger.She never thought he would say such things in front of everyone.
"Yes, although you didn't scold me, you insinuated things." Joseph loosened his tie and crossed his
arms angrily.
"Did you forget where we were? Did you forget who you are? It's already an exception for me to take
you there, and you promised you'd behave.Yet, look at what you've done! "you run around like a
maniac, afraid that people won't know who you are to me.Also, didn't we agree on a 6 million dollar
budget before we left? When you called out a 10 million dollar bid, did you ever stop and think of me?
Do you think my money grows on trees?!"
The more Joseph talked, the angrier he became.
It sent him down a spiral of anger as he continued to vent his dissatisfaction, "You didn't even stop to
look at me! Do you even listen to anything I say? Do you feel like you're invincible now? Do you think
the Tanner Corporation is in your hands already, so you can just push me aside?!"
His last words seemed to have hit Elizabeth’s heartstrings as she stood there, stunned.
She stopped crying as embarrassment replaced her sadness.
However, she refused to give in and mumbled, "T-That's not what I meant.Someone kept trying to one -
up me, so in the heat of the moment, I—"
"In the heat of the moment? You've decided to drop 10 million dollars in the heat of the moment?!
Elizabeth, you're out of your mind!"
It was painful for Joseph to think about spending 10 million dollars just like that.
People might be mocking him, thinking he was a fool.
"Didn't you agree you'd get me the necklace no matter what today? "
Elizabeth retorted with dissatisfaction.
"Didn't I also tell you I'd get you whatever you want as long as it is within 6 million dollars?"
This immediately led Joseph to think of Eloise, whom he would often bring to auctions.She would
always calculate her budget at home, look at what she was interested in, and put an estimated value

on the items.She only bought things that would stay within the estimated value.
Therefore, there was never a time when she would overspend.
Joseph had to admit that Eloise was more responsible than Elizabeth when it came to being a woman
of the house.
"About that—"
Elizabeth panicked after she had gotten yelled at and hesitated for a long moment before she finally
thought of something.
"You didn't spend 10 million on me! Didn't you tell them the necklace is for your wife?!"
She was infuriated when she thought of this.She had been fighting for the necklace the whole day, yet
Joseph said he would give it to someone else.
Now, Eloise would have a necklace Joseph unwillingly bought for 10 million dollars, and Elizabeth
became a laughingstock among the wealthy men’s wives.
Thinking about this, she wiped her tears and stood up.
Then she moved toward Joseph and looked at him tearfully.
"Joseph..."
Her voice was soft and demure, which was the best trick in her books.
Joseph would cave in and listen to her whenever she acted like a spoiled child.
