Chapter 87Oprah was stunned, angry, and ashamed, so she looked at him in disbelief, thinking he was playing a trick on her again.Burgess sobered up, silently glanced at her, got up, went to the bathroom, and took a long cold shower. Then, he returned to the bed, hugged her, and fell asleep.Oprah couldn't fall asleep because of what had happened and what he had said tonight.She clenched her fists for a long time and did not get up until he slightly loosened his hug.She didn't know where to go, so she walked to the balcony to enjoy the cold wind and the sound of rain.After a while, Burgess said in his dream, "Oprah, I'm feeling unwell. It would be best if you didn't come back. You don't have a conscience."When Oprah walked back into the bedroom, she heard him scolding her. She suddenly felt he did not deserve her love and wanted to drink much.Standing by the bed, she looked at his face in the dim light and wanted to strike him. But she held the urge back."Yes, I have no conscien
Chapter 88Oprah looked calm, "Just when Zoey asked you to marry her. Congratulations."Burgess's heart suddenly trembled.He froze for a few seconds.He looked at her intensely, "If you have any opinions, you can tell me now."As long as she didn't allow him to marry Zoey, he would agree.But unexpectedly, Oprah shook her head and said the same thing as before, "Congratulations. If you need my cooperation to handle the divorce, I will. But the premise is that you give Shaun back to me."Burgess's heart sank.He found that Oprah, indeed, no longer cared about him. She didn't care that he was with other women or marrying another woman.Burgess somehow felt very annoyed.He cleared his throat heavily and threw the breakfast brought by Zoey directly into the trash can."Whatever you want to eat, order it yourself." He walked past Oprah and went all the way to the study.Oprah found that he was naive now. Could it be that he thought she would eat the food brought by Zoey?She went to the k
Chapter 89Just like now, he didn't realize that his attitude towards Oprah was much better than before because he felt that Burgess treated Oprah very differently.After walking Oprah to the door of Burgess's office, Hardy left.The door was not closed, and Oprah pushed it open gently.Burgess was sitting on a big chair, reading documents intently.She must admit that a handsome man was charming when he worked hard.Burgess knew she was here but didn't lift his head, "Come here."Oprah walked over, "What's the matter?""In the future, you won't have to go downstairs to work." Burgess put down the documents and looked at her, "You will be working here."Oprah was confused, "Why?""There is no reason. This is the company's arrangement."It was more his arrangement than the company's.He was now her boss, and she didn't have a choice."OK."That was good. There would be more opportunities to get closer to him.Oprah had just calculated and found that the possibility of pregnancy last nig
Chapter 90Burgess didn't take Oprah's words seriously.Oprah directly opened the car door and jumped out.At this time, the car was starting to move. She fell to the ground, and her hands and legs were scratched.But suddenly, a motorcycle rushed from behind, and it was too late to slow down. It was about to hit Oprah.Burgess almost didn't think much about it. He rushed out of the car and pulled her into his arms.The motorcycle went away. After he ensured the woman in his arms hadn't been hit, he angrily said, "Are you crazy?"Burgess's heart was pounding. When he found the bruises on her hands and legs, he dragged her back into the car and told the driver to go to the hospital.Sitting in the car, Oprah trembled with lingering fears. She had been too impulsive just now. She still had Kaleb and Shaun so she couldn't have an accident.Burgess said with a straight face, "Why are you angry?"Oprah felt a dull pain in her hands and legs and didn't answer.The car fell into dead silence
Chapter 91Oprah said nothing.Aaron had always been moody. She had already seen it through.She quickly applied the medicine, "Mr. Aaron, I finished it. Can I go now?"Facing her clear and alienated eyes, Aaron felt hurt."You just stay here. I promise I won't do anything to you, OK?" He tried his best to soften his voice.Oprah's eyes darkened momentarily, and she knew he wasn't a man of his word.But she had no choice. She was on his turf now, and he was Burgess's good friend. She definitely couldn't get away.Oprah didn't speak anymore and didn't ask to leave.Seeing that she was not going to leave, Aaron went to get some ointment, packed it, and handed it to her."After you return, remember to apply it three times a day, and there will be no scars."If it weren't for what he had done before, Oprah would think that he was a gentle, good doctor."Thank you." Oprah took the medicine.Aaron wanted to say something, but Burgess came over and interrupted their conversation."Let's go."
Chapter 92The moment Roxanne saw her, she was stunned.Oprah hadn't known how to dress up in the past. Although she was pretty, she wasn't attractive enough. Now, she seemed to be different, and she looked so dazzling and beautiful... Was this her daughter?Oprah faced their strange gazes, ignored her mother, Roxanne, and went straight to Burgess and Zoey."Miss Zoey, I'm here to take Burgess home."Hearing her words, everyone present looked over."Isn't that Oprah, Mr. Burgess's wife?""She's Oprah? It's kind of interesting. She's his wife and even stepsister...""Even if the two are brother and sister, they are still husband and wife recognized by the pastor and the court. Now that Oprah is here, isn't Zoey the mistress?"Hearing the discussions, Zoey felt so embarrassed that her face flushed red.At this time, Burgess pulled her hand away, and his deep eyes fell on Oprah, "Why did you get down?"Oprah looked at him. It seemed the medicine hadn't kicked in yet."I saw that you drank
Chapter 93She looked up drowsily and saw Burgess's handsome face."Why did you come?"When Oprah spoke, he could smell strong alcohol in her mouth.He frowned, "When did you learn to drink?"She had often gotten drunk after just one drink, but now he found many empty glasses on the bar counter.Oprah hadn't expected that he would ask about her drinking.She was stunned momentarily, then pretended to be careless, "Probably when I was in Denmark."Burgess’s throat tightened.At this moment, he realized that he had never understood her.He grabbed the wine glass from Oprah's hand and threw it aside."Let’s go home."Go home...Oprah's eyes were blurred.The evening wind was blowing on her, and it felt cold.She stood up staggeringly, ready to go out.But he picked her up with strong arms before she took a few steps. Her body was suspended, and she instinctively grabbed Burgess’s arm."Put me down. I can walk by myself." Oprah was a little flustered.Burgess didn't listen to her. He walke
Chapter 94It seemed that she hadn’t fully woken up from her drunkenness.Burgess glanced at her gently with dark eyes, took a sip of water, and then said, "10 billion."10 billion...Although Oprah has made some money over the years, the total amount might not be enough to reach 1 billion.She had invested in charity and donated 200 million.She decided that after that, she would write more songs, make more money, and no longer invest money in charity projects."That’s settled then. If I give you 10 billion, you will let me leave and stop interfering in my life."Facing such a talkative Oprah, Burgess was not happy at all. She was willing to spend a lot of money to leave him truly.Burgess thought of something and spoke again, "I’m telling you. You will stay here with me before you pay back all the money."“OK.”Half an hour later, Oprah returned to her room to rest.Burgess was still in the study.When Angela called Oprah, she was shocked to hear that Oprah would pay a sky-high price
