She took a look into the mirror and noticed that she had eyebags. Quickly, she took out her foundation and eyeshadow palette to touch up her makeup. Once she concealed her eyebags, she left the washroom. …After the morning meeting, Carol noticed that Kieran had switched his secretary to a lady in
On Tuesday, Carol braced herself and sat down together with Kieran in the first-class cabin. Their seats were right next to each other. Once they sat down, the air stewardesses occasionally snuck peeks at them. After all, they were both attractive people, and they had not actually told the entire w
When Carol woke up, it was to the sound of rain. Just when she was about to sit up, her head spun, and she fell to the side. At that moment, someone caught her. “Thanks, Kieran.”That someone then pulled his arms away. With no support, Carol fell on the floor. “Ack! What the hell’s wrong with you,
Carol’s eyes were filled with tears. Her smile was bitter as she mocked him. “I’m sick, and Kieran went downstairs to get medicine for me, but what about you? You only ever come to me for one thing: to satiate your libido. To you, I can’t even compare to a whore. At the very least, whores get to res
Carol did not answer. She kept her head bowed, which was answer enough. He lifted her chin and looked into her eyes, though she still refused to look at him. His smile grew wider. “Congratulations, Carol. You’ve succeeded.”What did he mean by that?Carol looked at him in puzzlement. “The novelty
There was nothing artificial about Carol’s beauty. Anyone who saw her would find her pleasing to the eye, regardless of whether she wore no makeup, only had light makeup, or had really thick makeup. Even if she always made herself look old-fashioned in the company, it could not hide her natural eleg
Perhaps she was influenced by Kieran’s words, but Carol reminded herself to not have any ties with Titus in the future. However, she soon found out that she had been worried for nothing. In nearly a month since they returned to Northvale after negotiating with a company in Kastalville, Titus acted
“You don’t have to thank me, Miss Carol. You should thank Mr. Titus. He started the transfer of ownership right after he bought your family’s house. The transfer only went through a few days ago, and Mr. Titus asked me to hand the certificate to you right away.”Rivas paid attention to Carol’s expre
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
