“This isn’t a matter of admitting my fault. As you said, I was drunk last night, and I don’t remember what happened. It’s a he-said, she-said situation, so why should I just believe you? Maybe you saw how drunk I was and decided to prey on me! Then, after getting your way, you blame me instead.”Aft
Danielle breathed a sigh of relief and went downstairs to have dinner.The table was set. As soon as Danielle sat down, Karl asked, “Would you like a drink?”Danielle rolled her eyes and said irritably, “No. I will never drink in front of you again.”“Who are you going to drink in front of?”“It’s n
When Danielle arrived at the dean’s office, Mr. Simpson said enthusiastically, “Dan, did you get home alright that day?”Danielle nodded and smiled. “Yeah. I just had a headache when I woke up the next day, but everything else is fine.”“Haha! Well, you’re quite bold when you’re drunk. You pointed a
Lucy crossed her arms. “I think I must tell you about Mr. Burt. He’s five years older than me, but he graduated college nine years before I did. He skipped two grades in middle school and two grades in high school. At the age of 22, he obtained a master’s degree.“After graduation, he worked for his
Danielle frowned. “Why are you always looking for benefits in everything? Are you not going to help me if you don’t get any benefits?”“Well, if you were my wife, I would help you unconditionally. But you didn’t want to marry me, so I have no choice but to seize any available opportunity to take adv
Danielle was speechless. She rolled her eyes at him and said, “Karl, can’t you be serious for once?”“It’s so weird. When I’m around you, I don’t want to be serious. As soon as I see your face, I just feel like being a rogue. Haven’t I told you? Your alluring scent makes a man go crazy.”Danielle di
Kate stood on the side, saying, “Danielle, everyone already knows about it. And since we’re working in the same office, why hide it from us?”Danielle was not obligated to explain herself, but considering they were working in the same office, she did not want to offend anyone. “I really didn’t recei
Karl replied, “I told Aaron to find out who was the most popular female student in your school and recommended her to the Dean.”Danielle raised her eyebrows. “What did the Dean say?”“He happily agreed to it and didn’t mention you at all. I guess he probably feels bad that he broke his promise to y
Danielle coyly laughed it off. “No, she didn’t! Maybe I’m just overthinking it.” “In that case, don’t stress yourself thinking about it. Besides, Brooklyn was just someone that Justin’s family chose for him after they went through the list of candidates and decided that she offered the best. As lon
“I’m just telling the truth.” Karl smirked before prompting, “Alright, I’ll drop it. What was it that she said to you in the past?” “I don’t feel like talking about it anymore.” “What, is it a secret between the two of you that you won’t share with me?” Danielle shot him a look. In addition to sw
Karl followed Justin’s gaze and looked outside the window similarly, then he remarked faintly, “Do you feel like Harmony has become rather different? She’s not in a very good state of mind right now, and I think she will need a therapist when she gets to Miraco.” Justin stared at Harmony for a brie
Danielle relented, “Harmony, the reason he wants you to go back is not that he’s angry at you or anything like that. He's…” “It’s fine, you don’t have to explain. I have thought about it and have decided that I will believe in and listen to whatever he says from now on. I trust him as much as I tru
Danielle wondered what he wanted to discuss with her. What an elegant way to put it. “Sure, what do you want to talk about?” Karl sat up, “I just spoke to Justin on the phone. He says he’s going to Miraco next month to start a new branch there and that he will be there for a few years. I was hopi
As Danielle turned around, she saw Max at the door. She stopped in her tracks briefly before finally walking over. “Are you guys done already?” Max just smiled at her slightly. “Mr. Burt is a concise person.” Danielle replied, “That’s fair. Thank you for saving Karl today.” “Mr. Burt has already
Hearing Max’s name, Karl deliberated briefly before responding, “Dan, why don’t you help them send Harmony back to her ward? In the meantime, you can have Max come in. I have something to say to him.” Danielle got worried. “What do you have to say to him? Let’s just forget about it.” “Don’t worry,
After receiving the news that Karl had woken up, despite just being discharged from the emergency room, Harmony made a fuss about wanting to go see Karl. Timothy was also worried. He agreed with Harmony’s request and brought her to Karl’s ward via wheelchair. Seeing Karl, Harmony burst out in tear
As Danielle said that, tears started rolling down her cheeks, her shaky hands moving towards the call bell. How could Karl not recognize her? Could he have hit his head when he fell? What could she do? What could she do now that the person she loved no longer recognized her? Before she could pre
