Chapter 145Â
Dwayne sat on the living room sofa, felt the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it, then picked up his phone and dialed Margaret’s number. “Please pass the Echo Nightclub membership gold card to the Acosta family for me, consider it as a birthday gift for Rogelio,”Â
“Okay, Mr. Lambert.”Â
The next day was the weekend, Dorothy slept in until half past ten, which was rare for her. She remembered that she had promised Tyrell to have dinner together, so she got ready and prepared to go out after washing up.Â
Emma suddenly walked out of the kitchen and called out to her, “Mrs. Lambert.”Â
“What’s wrong?” She stopped at the entrance and turned around.Â
Mr. Lambert asked me to give this to you.” Emma walked to the liquor cabinet, took out a card, and handed it to her.Â
It is a black and gold card engraved with his name in letters.Â
No limit.Â
Less than five people in the country owned this card.Â
She knew Dwayne was one of the cardholders, but she never thought he would give her the card.Â
Dorothy snapped out of her thoughts and did not reach out to take it. “Why did he give me this card?”Â
Emma laughed, “Mr. Lambert didn’t say, just said if you need to buy something, just swipe this card.”Â
She looked at the black and gold card in silence.Â
Married to Dwayne for six years, she never spent á penny of his money voluntarily, just because she didn’t want him to misunderstand that she married him for other reasons.Â
However, in Dwayne’s eyes, she was still a woman “never satisfied“.Â
If so, why give the card to her?Â

Is he trying to test her again?Â
She chuckled to herself and shook her head, “No need, I don’t need this card, I have money of my own.”Â
Emma was taken aback and exclaimed, “Mrs. Lambert, how could you think like that! The property of you and Mr. Lambert is marital property, so it’s only natural for you to spend Mr. Lambert’s money!”Â
Dorothy lowered her head and smiled bitterly, “Emma, you don’t understand. He is he, I am I.”Â
