“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
Carol took out a napkin from her handbag and wiped away the water on her face. “Why don’t you ask Titus that question? Ask him why he’d rather sleep with a married woman than you.”“You little…”When Nancy realized that she could not win against Carol in a verbal argument, she started mocking her ho
“So, tell me. What should I do?” Carol shrugged. “Why don’t you go to the Abner family instead of me? I already told you: I’ll only stay for at most a month. Perhaps I’ll even leave after Abner Corporation’s celebration party. Can’t you wait that long?”“How am I supposed to wait?” Aelia yelled at h
Aelia went forward and unzipped Carol’s dress. “She definitely has marks from other men on her body!”“F*ck off!” Carol was not an easy target and would not allow anyone else but the Renae family to mistreat her, so she kicked Aelia away and shoved Lily off. “Don’t touch me!”Mrs. Oceane wanted to c
To prevent Lily from coming over to cause trouble, Kieran had set up security cameras in the living room. After Mrs. Oceane called him, he turned on the RMM software and saw the entire thing. “Kieran, get your head checked and stop acting like a crazy lunatic!”Carol flung his arm away, but he grab
Carol smiled wryly. “It’s too late, Mrs. Oceane. Things… can no longer be mended between us.”Mrs. Oceane wanted to keep persuading Carol to try, but when she saw the tears in her eyes, she went quiet. Meanwhile, Kieran watched the footage of the kitchen on his phone from his office, and he hated e
“If I don’t, you’re going to kick up a fuss again, aren’t you? But we can’t get a divorce right now. You should know that Abner Corporation’s survival depends on this month. Everyone is waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves. Our 20th anniversary is in ten days. If we don’t hold a celebration, e
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
