“Your promise? When are you going to promise me to divorce Kieran Abner and become my lover, then?”“I wouldn’t dare to make that promise.”“Why not?” Titus grabbed her chin. “What are you afraid of?”“I’m afraid of losing myself.” When she saw the puzzlement in his eyes, Carol decided to be honest.
Carol kept her eyes fixed ahead, but she felt as if there was someone staring at her. “Don’t worry. I won’t let them use me. I promised Gordon that I’ll only stay for a month. Once the time is up, I’m leaving.”“Fine. I won’t nag you anymore. You’re too much of a softie. All other people have to do
Laverna did not care about maintaining her image. After she took a sip of coffee, she mocked Carol, “Aren’t you full of tricks when you bully me? Why are you still tolerating that witch when she’s practically walking all over you?”“Because I have to tolerate her,” Carol said calmly. “I’m just a dec
Once Laverna was done, she pouted and no longer looked as arrogant as she usually did. She grabbed Carol’s arm. “Carol, Dad was nice to you. You can’t just watch that witch drive Dad up the wall. Please, I’m begging you, help us fight that witch.”Carol mulled over this for a bit, then put down the
“Who else but you could have done it?! If you really wanted to get a divorce with Kieran, why would you move back into Maple Residences? Why would you come here today?!”“Good question.”When Carol saw how angry Aelia was, she decided to not beat around the bush. “I did not return to Maple Residence
Kieran looked at Carol with a gentle gaze. He put down his form and stood up. “Where have you been staying over the past two days? I went to the Renae family’s house, but I didn’t see you.”“I went to stay at a friend’s place,” Carol answered coolly. When she saw the obvious bruises on his face, she
Carol tried breaking free from his hold, but Kieran just tightened his grip over her wrist. “I won’t let you leave again. Even if you don’t love me, I won’t let you leave. We have to try. When you got married to me, I didn’t love you either.”“It’s not the same.” Carol took a step backward and shook
Carol knew that Myka was telling her to resign for her own good, but she had made a promise to Gordon, and she had to keep it. “It’s just a month. At worst, I’ll apply for a business trip so that I won’t have to stay in the office.”“You can’t go on business trips just because you want to,” Myka sa
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
