“I wouldn’t say no to you offering yourself,” Titus said quietly. Carol’s face burned. She understood why he would want to rebook his flight. …With Titus serving as her living invitation card, the receptionist could not stop Carol any longer, but she did give her a disdainful look. That was only
While Aqua was wondering what he meant, Titus took out a lighter from his pocket.“I’m returning this to you.” Titus’s gaze remained cool. He did not seem to be reluctant to part with it. “Are you sure?” Aqua did not believe what she was seeing. “Did Nancy give you a new one? Didn’t you say that y
“Don’t bother explaining. The more you say, the worse you’ll make yourself sound.” Titus lowered his chair and ordered Carol, “Sit closer to me.”Carol could only sit closer to him. “Closer.”Why did he want her to sit so close to him when it was so hot…Suddenly, Titus pulled her toward him, and C
His actions were against Carol’s expectations. Titus actually stopped and let her go once he calmed his breathing.He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and habitually reached out for his lighter in his pocket. When he found nothing, he remembered that he had thrown it away. He put his ciga
Carol knew that Myka was definitely still blaming herself for what she said, so she changed the topic. “Go shopping with me later. I have to buy a gift for Titus.”“A gift? Is his birthday coming up?”“I think so. I don’t know the specifics.”…Despite going to a mall with Myka, Carol did not know w
Carol did not want to keep secrets from Myka and decided to tell her some of her plans ahead of time. “After I get a divorce with Kieran, I’m going to head to Swisserland to take care of Adam.”“What? You’re leaving?” Myka could not accept this. “That’s too sudden! You’re just filing for a divorce,
“I’m not worried about getting into trouble!”“But I am.” Carol picked up a napkin and helped Myka wipe off the stain on her lips. “We can’t afford to get on Titus’s bad side.”Once certain plans were set in motion, they could not be stopped. Carol knew just how powerful her opponent was, and she wa
Richard interrupted Carol before she could finish her sentence. “I’ve transferred the money into your account. It’ll last until Adam Renae wakes up and fully recovers. I don’t go back on my promises.”“I thank you on Adam’s behalf.”Carol took the heavy box and left. To her, Richard was a conniving
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
