There was a frosty look in Danielle's eyes. “I got my looks from my mother. It’s not like I got to choose at all. What right do you have to deny all the things I achieved just because of the way I look? You claim that you’ve been working hard, but every time I see you in the office, you’re either sh
Danielle yelped, “Could you be serious for a minute?” “I am serious! You can see it written on my face.” “How are you? Does your stomach still hurt?” “No, I’m just getting an infusion to be on the safe side.” Since he did not mention anything about what happened at college, Danielle pursed her l
“You haven’t considered who I did it for.” Karl reached forward and poked her forehead. “If I took her to a quiet place where there’s nobody around, people are going to get jealous and start rumors. Besides, I am a righteous man and if I’m going to refuse someone, I’m going to follow it through to
Her reaction did not go unnoticed by Karl. He smirked faintly and no longer saw a need to probe her with more questions. Deep down, she already had the answer. It was only a matter of time. … Karl was a highly efficient person. It was only morning and he had already taken care of what he said he
Danielle snatched his phone away. “Karl, don't make such a big deal out of nothing, Bowen has a girlfriend. He even showed us a picture of his girlfriend today. They’ve been together since they were in university and get along very well.” Karl was still scowling. “Do you think they can’t break up i
The students nodded. Some of them were immediately on the phone while others bound up the stairs as well. When Danielle and Ava arrived at the rooftop, there were three other girls present as well. They were huddled together a fair distance away from the girl who looked like she was thinking about
Rox became visibly agitated when she saw all the people downstairs. Danielle grew worried. Was it her boyfriend showing up again? “Adam, you prick, you betrayed me!” Danielle clasped her palms against her forehead. Just as she thought, it was her boyfriend. This man had to be Rox’s nemesis at thi
He roared, “On the count to three, everybody, pull! One, two, three…” Everyone gave it their all and managed to hoist the two who were this close to crashing down to their deaths. It was only until Danielle limped on the floor of the rooftop when she noticed Karl in front of her, his expression ch
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
