My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

Chapter 76

Grace took the check and left the store with Lina.

There was cursing and muttering and she could only imagine how the store personnel would gossip-and she didn’t care.

Grace shrugged. “No, I don’t think that’s it.”

“Grace, he just spent an obscene amount of money on you.”
