Richard flew into a rage. “The police said that your mother’s death was an accident! Why do you insist on your theory that has been proven wrong so many times?!”“Because I’m stubborn like that. I can’t help it. I’m your son.” Titus pushed down his anger before smirking and leveling Richard a sharp
No matter who the person was or why they sent the message, Carol felt the need to tell them the truth. [If Kieran would just go to the city hall for the divorce procedure, I’d divorce him this moment. I wouldn’t stay in this marriage for a second longer!]This time, the person answered quickly. [Rea
In the past, Aelia had long, straight hair and wore no makeup. She looked innocent and pure. “The phrase seeing is believing fits you to a T, Miss Aelia.”Aelia was shocked that Carol recognized her. “You know me?”“No. But I’ve often heard about you from Kieran. He even hung a portrait of you in h
Aelia had come to knock Carol down a peg or two and intimidate her, but Carol had instead insulted her!She had finally returned to Northvale after three years, but Kieran had changed, and she felt threatened. Aelia had thought that no matter how much time passed, Kieran would still love her, but t
Everyone knows?To think he would say that. Carol watched him shut the breaker’s lid in stunned silence. She did not know what she should say next. “Why are you just standing there? Go turn on the air-conditioner.”Carol nodded and ran into the living room to turn on the air-conditioner. It had b
In the past, Carol would have answered Titus without batting an eyelid, but she no longer dared to be wilful around him. “Are you going to get angry again if my answer doesn’t satisfy you?”“No.” Titus stared at her. “I want to hear the truth. Don’t humor me.”“Alright, then.” Carol met his gaze and
Titus was rough with Carol. He grabbed her waist and pressed her flush against him. Even if there was no longer any space between them, he still felt that it was not enough. He picked her up. “No! You’ll leave marks!”Carol pushed his head away and tried to push his hands as well, but she could no
Carol collected her thoughts and heard Myka say, “I heard from Sirius that Nancy Lilac was high on the autism spectrum when she was a child, but Titus Black helped her become normal. She became a fashion designer later on because of him too.”Carol did not understand. “She became a fashion designer
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
