Carol sat on the sofa calmly. “It’s fine. I’m going to start looking for a house tomorrow and won’t go back to Maple Residences. I’ve also handed in my resignation letter. I don’t care whether Kieran agrees to it or not, I’m not going back to work.”“You should have done so a long time ago! You’ve b
Even if he apologized, he would do it again in the future. Hence, since she had already decided to get a divorce, she would stay as far away from him as possible. What she did not expect was for Lily to call her. “Didn’t you want to get a divorce with Kieran? Stop hiding, then. Meet me. I’ll tell
Carol’s eyes were covered while she was being transported. When she was thrown into a room, she had no idea where she was. She did not know what drugs Lily put into the tea, but she could not summon any strength. She could only lay in bed like a doll while the men tied her wrists to the headboard a
That voice? Was it Kieran?Carol immediately returned to her senses, and her eyes flew wide open in panic. Titus felt like murdering someone because of the interruption. His murderous rage only grew when he heard Lily talking outside. “I told you that woman often comes here to sleep with men behin
Carol knew that she could not continue butting heads with Titus. If her principles allowed her to make a compromise, she had to do it so that she would not make him angry anymore. So, she agreed to search for another house. When Carol did not fight back, Titus found out that she was someone who kn
Titus wore a white dress shirt with three of his buttons unbuttoned. He had rolled his sleeves up to his elbows, sat with his legs crossed, and was sprawled lazily over his seat. He gave off a wicked air. When he opened his eyes, he saw Carol still standing by the door. Disdain showed up in his eye
How could she not be scared? She was still Kieran’s wife at the moment!But Carol knew that Titus did not care about that. If she said anything unnecessary, he might even force her to get a divorce with Kieran right away. “If you’re not scared, why should I be?”She then prepared to leave. Titus s
Carol did not want to do it, but she had no choice. She could only obey him and go to the bathtub. When she touched Titus’s smooth shoulders, she saw a prominent scar on his chest. It had only finished healing. The position of the scar made her remember his chest covered in blood when they met for
Since then, the Fritzgerald family fell from grace, and the shock was so great that Robin died in prison. During the funeral, Aster stared at Robin’s photo on his tombstone and smiled. “See, Grandpa? I still managed to destroy the Fritzgerald family’s cage in this timeline.”The Fritzgerald Corpora
“I know that you’re trying to fool me into becoming your puppet again. Over the past decade, I worked hard for Fritzgerald Corporation. I did whatever you asked me to, but I won’t listen to you when it comes to marrying someone who will spend the rest of her days with me. If you really want a puppet
Sirius could not figure out what she meant and could only nod. Myka did not want to stay here any longer and left to look for Aster. He was at the door of the doctor’s office. By the looks of it, he had just come out. “Well? I’m fine, aren’t I? I told you I was.”Aster ruffled her hair affectionat
He took over the report from Myka’s hands and took a look. But it only made him angrier. “You’re pregnant?”Myka slapped her hand over her forehead. She did not even have the time to explain what had happened and could only say, “Look at the name.”Feeling skeptical, Sirius checked the name, only to
What she said made Aster so happy that he rushed over to Myka like a child and kissed her forehead gently. “Alright, sweetheart.”If she were not injured, he would have picked her up and twirled her around simply because he was too happy. After Aster bade her goodnight, he turned the lights off for
In her despair, she gave up on fighting back. Suddenly, they heard a gunshot from outside. The three men were shocked. Did they interrupt some trade between criminal organizations? If that was the case, they could not stay anymore. They had to leave. But soon after they stepped out, they retreated.
She reached the third floor. The two men were about to meet up with the man on the first floor. Myka quickly went to the second floor. She had to seize the chance to jump. Otherwise, when the three of them came up to look for her, she would have a hard time escaping. Myka looked out one of the wind
Those two men did not search quickly. She only heard them getting closer after more than one hour passed. They were right outside. They had even entered the apartment. Myka held her breath. Her heart raced. “There’s a closet here. She might be hiding inside.”“Are you blind? The drawers are small
Robin hung up. All he could think about was what Aster told him just now. He wanted familial love? What a joke! The Fritzgerald family had built a business empire. If they had let themselves be controlled by those useless emotions, their empire would have fallen to ruins a long time ago!He answere
