Carol smiled to ease Myka’s worries. “As you can see, I’m fine. Don’t worry. Titus would not do anything bad to me.”“Would not do anything bad to you? Look into the mirror! You’ve obviously become thinner! You can’t hide it from me! What did the demon do to you? Tell me! There’s no need for secrets
…Myka’s warning echoed in Carol’s mind while she was leaving Tiny Blessings. Myka asked her to keep her distance from Titus, but Carol had already taken nearly eighty million dollars from him. How could she keep her distance from him at this point?She was already knee-deep in mud and could not ge
When Abatus left Titus’s office, he was in a foul mood. He finally understood how it felt like to go out for wool but come home shorn. He had wanted to work under Titus for a while and curry his favor until he could drag him down from his position. After all, Richard had just handed the company to
Carol’s heart tensed up. Did he figure it out?When Titus noticed how nervous she was, he lifted her chin and stared at her before he smiled. “If you’re not doing this intentionally, why are you dressed this way?”“Don’t…” Carol’s voice was barely audible. She tried pushing Titus’s hands away, but s
Carol trailed her finger seductively between Titus’s pecs. “Why do you think I did it?”Titus grabbed her hand and glared at her. “You should know that I hate women who pull petty tricks in front of me.”“I didn’t.” Carol chuckled. “Why else would a woman do everything she can to make a man sleep wi
Carol had a lot of money left, but she did not dare to spend it wastefully. She had to save it for Adam’s treatment. “You’re such a joker, Mr. Titus. Even if I’m a spendthrift, I can’t possibly spend that much money so quickly. I invested it all into Tiny Blessings. We’re going to open a real shop
After they were done, Carol laid in the bathtub with her eyes partially shut in the vapor-filled bathroom. Her cheeks were red, and her lips were bruised. When she recalled what had happened in the study, she thought that she would die. Titus was fast and rough, and she felt nailed to the desk whi
The warm light made Titus look absolutely ruthless. His eyes were burning with rage. What was going on? He had been fine when Carol left. She sat up and met his rage-filled gaze. She could tell that something bad was about to happen. “Mr. Titus, why… are you here?”Titus said nothing and just sta
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
