The video kept spreading, and the number of views skyrocketed!

There were countless people who sympathized with poor Thompson!

As for Thompson, he never thought that he would one day be rich enough for people to see him as pitiful!

Although he did not watch the video of N site analyzing him, Alice did when she was at work!

A colleague, who was not on good terms with her, suddenly ran up to her and said, “Dear Alice, I misunderstood you!”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“I thought that you were providing for a man, but now I know that he actually loves you very much!”

Alice was a little dumbfounded.

Was she making something up? Why would she bring up how much her husband loved her?

Although she still liked to hear those words, there must be a reason for Lisa to say that out of the blue, and it did not seem like it was something good!

This then prompted Alice to ask what was going on. Under Lisa’s guidance, she opened N site.

She scrolled through the trending list, and when she saw the analysis video at the top, she watched it!

Alice thought that the blogger made a lot of sense as well. She could not help but believe everything he said because she, too, felt that her husband’s reaction at the show the other day was extremely weird!

Now, after watching the blogger’s professional analysis video, Alice was convinced.

It was especially the blogger’s concluding remarks that made her realize that her husband had sacrificed too much to her. Even his career and future might even be ruined.

Alice did sacrifice a lot as well, but her efforts were only reflected at home, and no outsider knew about it.

However, what Thomson did this time had put his life on the line! It was a big gamble.

In this era where information was so readily available on the internet, anything interesting would become the netizens’ object of ridicule.

Once a person became the object of ridicule, he or she would be doomed!

Yet, who had it the worst? Thomson!

When he revealed that he was the richest person in the world, no one believed him unless they were mentally ill. After all, the possibility of this kind of news being false was far greater than the truth.

Under such circumstances, it was only inevitable for Thomson to become a laughing stock.

Besides, the show was still in progress. This meant that as long as the later stages of the show went smoothly, her husband would become more and more popular!

For professional artists, this was a great thing! Though for ordinary people, the more famous they were, the harder it was to break free of it.

It would be unbearable to be seen as a joke. 

She had never imagined that her husband, Thomson, would do so much for her.

However, on second thought, she realized that her husband must know about this. He must know before the show, and that was why he did what he did!

For this reward, he was willing to sacrifice himself and become the target of everyone’s jokes.

With this in mind, Alice’s eyes lit up.

Not long after, Lisa left, and for the first time in Alice’s life, she left as soon as work hours ended. It was the earliest she had ever left the company.

Alice no longer had the mood to work overtime! She just wanted to go back early and see her husband, Thomson.

At 7:10 pm, Alice arrived home in a taxi. 

As soon as she entered, she saw Thomson leaning on the sofa, reading quietly.

He thought it was a little strange when he heard the door open because his wife would not come home at this time. She should still be working overtime…

Hence, when he turned around and saw his wife, he frowned slightly. He thought it was even stranger.

Yet before he could say anything, his wife had thrown herself into his arms.

Streams of tears flowed down her face.

Thomson was shocked to see his wife’s aggrieved expression. Was she bullied? He was so furious that he immediately cried out, “My wife! Who bullied you?”

“No one…” Alice shook her head and sobbed. “Honey, thank you! I really thank you! I’m so lucky to have met a man like you!”

Upon hearing his wife’s affectionate words, Thomson was a little dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Why did she say this out of the blue?

Soon, he had managed to comfort his wife, and it was only through her story did he understand what was happening!

Thomson felt sick after he watched the video. 

Who was this person?

He was convinced that no one believed the truth these days. He very desperately wanted to ask someone why he was not worthy of being rich. 

He really would, if not for fear that he would scare his wife.

He wanted to take her directly to the underground vault of the Swiss bank to have a look!

However, this was just a thought. Seeing how Alice had misunderstood him…

He had thought it through. When the show started tomorrow, he would invite someone over.

He believed that when this person came, no one would doubt him, including his wife.

At this thought, Thomson calmed down, hugged Alice, and comforted her. He was not in a hurry to explain himself. 

As the richest man, he had experienced too much, and naturally, he was used to weathering the storm. Now, he could face anything calmly.

Yet to Alice, this calm and composed look was a tacit agreement that made Alice feel even more guilty.
