My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

“Sir, take me right over here.” Lila showed the taxi driver the address on her phone.

“Oh, that looks like a distant neighborhood.” The driver spoke the Barnes dialect fluently, and when he saw the address, he was obviously grossed out.

Lila was accustomed to living in the rich area and had never left downtown. She knew nothing about this address and as she furrowed her brows, she asked, “Really?”
